I walked into the living room last night where my husband was watching the late news, and he said, “The Alliance has a new leader.”

“What?” I said. I’m a Star Wars fan. I’m currently in the beginning of a kick-ass Star Wars RPG campaign that’s the sequel to another kick-ass three-year campaign. I was trying to figure out, in my sluggish, I-worked-all-day-then-fought-with-Bizet-and-treble-clef brain, what political coup someone could have pulled off to have seized control of the New Republic, and why my husband was telling me in the middle of a news broadcast. Was it being reported on local TV?

Oh. He meant the national political party.

I need more sleep. I also apparently need to stop thinking about this campaign so much.
