Just checked out my Steam year in review and I’m surprised that I earned 325 achievements and played 18 new games this year! #Steam #SteamReplay
I stole this idea from someone else. I don’t know who. The CEO of Arizona Iced Tea after reading the news last week.
I have no sympathy for the leadership of companies that exploit average people every day. How many thousands of people have lost their lives or been financially crippled because their medical insurance company decided that the procedure/medication that was ordered by a licensed physician was not necessary?
I haven’t been able to pee for just over a week now. Every time I go into the restroom, there is a llama staring at me. #ShyBladder #StickersEverywhere #GirlDad
#PTSG Hang out on this brisk Snowrunner Saturday morning. Let’s chill and vibe. Come on in and join the fun! Look forward to seeing you there! 
December 5th was opening night for Pliny the Elder’s newest part. She had been cast as Cassie in this play. She is on stage as much as anyone, or more. You could say I’m one proud papa. This is the first time I’ve seen her become a character and not just recite lines.
About twenty minutes into the play, Cassie is confronted by Brian regarding her desires in life. Brian is surprised to learn that Cassie has no interest in being anyone’s wife. This is the first moment for me where Pliny has become the character she portrays. Several audience members gasped at her indignation at the idea that all any woman could want from life was to be wed.
The play itself follows the events of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The story was created by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon and brings the audience “downstairs” to see how Christmas fares for the servants of the household. It moves along quite nicely, and the main antagonist of the story is the scoundrel, George Wickham.
Pliny does a fine job of holding her British accent throughout the performance. She put forth a great deal of effort to be able to pronounce many of the words with that affectation. A few of the cast members do not even seem to attempt to have an accent. I will commend George Wickham here. The actor manages to not only portray a posh British accent, but as the need arises, flows seamlessly into Cockney and right back to posh.
I would say that if you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice, then you should try and catch this one if it is put on by a theater company near you. This play is the middle part of a trilogy preceded by Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley and followed by Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley.
