It'll be another couple of weeks before it stops feeling like we're in full night at 4:30 p.m. - the lingering early dark is one of the roughest parts of winter. I always feel that here in New York we shouldn't make decisions during two months of the year: February, when it's been cold and dark for so long that we can't remember when the days felt good just being days, and August, for the same reasons except hot.

Zafehouse: Diaries is indie royalty at this point. You're five survivors of the Zombie Apocalypse, trying to get away from where you are, but you're all different people with different ideas. And as if that's not trouble enough, Things keep Happening. Will you make it out? This is an old key, but newly activated, so it should work like new.

Happy New Year!
