Tomorrow the Polar Vortex arrives in Pennsylvania and I think scientists have emphatically stated that there will be no survivors. Or it will be really cold, inconvenient and Tuesday for everybody, not sure which yet. I bet it is somewhere in the middle of both.
In any event, now is a good time to assess what the hell I am doing with the time-sucking vortex that is our beloved hobby, since tomorrow will definitely be about hunkering in, trying to get some more painting done, some more started and maybe, just maybe... finally learning to love myself at the end of it all... (or the beginning?)

| OGRE Designer's Edition, now with 100% more colorful edges and Mod Podge. |
Speaking of loving myself: I picked up OGRE over the holiday and so, colored all cardboard edges of the punch-out models with colored Sharpies and then glued the pieces all together with matte finish Mod Podge, which is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered there. They came out great, look great. Great! That's a Pro Tip folks, no charge.
I have a ton of Khurasan 15mm on the way, alarmingly ordered before Christmas and yet I have not heard a peep from the company about it at all... but their website was intentionally down over the holiday for them to process orders, so I am not worried, so much as I just want that stuff so I can do 15mm Strange Aeons, where the Lurkers just became 100% bigger!
I also have some forlorn Khador on my desk that I am hell-bent on tackling, with a new sage green and red color scheme. Yes, this means I have been playing Warmachine again and why shouldn't I? It's a damn good game. Still, Star Wars X Wing is a damn good game too and there is no painting required.

| Ember Mage WIP will fight the Polar Vortex with her cutsie-cheeks. When I try to do the same thing people yell at me to put my slacks back on. |
Finally I have more Super Dungeon Explore to knock out, I dare say I am in the home stretch there on a completed box set.
What else? I have some IG to tend to soon and probably a miniature yard sale in my future in the Spring... too much stuff to tolerate.
Stay warm, stay safe and I'll see you on the other side!

/long slow clap for the sarcasm and just-short-of-bitter-ness on display here
Joe, you are the second guy in as many days to attach a slow clap to a post involving OGRE. The first was my boy Pete. I'm getting a complex.
My clone and I are supposed to play our first game tonight. We will do an OGRE wave in your honor.
Finn, did you play? And the BoardGame Geek OGRE sheets I ordered arrived. More tanks! More tiles! Giant stompy monsters for OGRE!
