    Watching – Hustle (2004 – 2012)

    If there’s anything I’m a sucker for as much as cozy murder mysteries, it’s a classic heist. I originally stumbled onto Hustle on late night CBC and it was a marvelous surprise.

    I’ve got a long relationship with Yog-Sothery aka H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. My library has numerous short story collections and novels and board games and role playing games.
