In which I catch you up on my holiday preparation, and celebrate two more movies, one of which really stood out.

In which I find I’ve watched two movies that could be described as the same, but definitely aren’t. Bonus: musing about the value of romance plots in RPGs.

In which I reminisce about the idea of reminiscing, especially when we do it in real-time.

In which I suggest that there are valuable stories to be heard and seen in these movies.

In which I try to encourage myself to learn the right lesson: that a moment, doing nothing, is important.

Read the article yourself: “I Developed Storylines for Hallmark Movies, Here’s What I Learned”, by Bryn Donovan at SheWrites.com .

In which I talk a little bit more about how I create a numerical rating for the Hallmarkian Christmas Movies I watch, and a bit about recent watchings.

In which I celebrate the end of another reality (show) and comment a little on the others I’ve considered, and maybe a little about why.

In which I begin to talk about what I’m finding this year, in Finding Mr. Christmas.
