Hill 142 is the most vexing, emotionally draining thing I have written in a very long time, possibly since a particularly draining scene in Corruptor. It's not just emotionally draining, but it brings to the forefront the true heroes and losses during a war. The armchair Rangers and CoD kids who think it's all a game and that they'd … Continue reading Too Much

Five More Years
Made it home safely enough. Am dead tired. Also, WordPress just shot me a message congratulating me on five years with them. Huh. That went by fast. Well, here's to another five years.
In Soviet Russia…
Well, it goes to show you that the cosmos, at least, are still willing to give Putin the middle finger. The meteorite seems to have impacted as well, though I'm still waiting to hear back from some friends. As horrifying as it could have been, the science geeky part of me (which is a huge part) thinks … Continue reading In Soviet Russia…
Larry Correia Interviewed On Huckabee
In case you missed it, NYT bestselling author Larry Correia was interviewed on Huckabee Live last night (Sunday) in response to this piece he wrote awhile back. He did an excellent job, I think. You should read the article, and definitely watch the interview. The article alone is worth it, though you may want to … Continue reading Larry Correia Interviewed On Huckabee
BCS AAR
I’m still sick, but I did feel good enough this evening to do some math. And the math says that, in spite of not liking the SEC (the math likes the SEC; I don’t), the SEC had the most bowl wins this year. Otherwise, the whole “Big Six” thing is a bit strange this year. … Continue reading BCS AAR
Back In A Bit
Dear work,If you call me before Christmas, I will not answer my phone. You will instead be directed to a voice answering service run by Vince Offer, the ShamWow! guy, who will then proceed to banter and berate you into buying some steak knives to stab your phones with for calling me.Much love,JasonP.S. See the … Continue reading Back In A Bit
I’m Bored and Don’t Feel Like Writing
There's been no small amount of dark humor floating around this week, with the best one I've come across so far being Operation It's A Small War After All. Now, I applaud this Marine sergeant's ingenuity with his placement of his troops and artillery, especially when considering this is a siege of Cinderella's Castle (with … Continue reading I’m Bored and Don’t Feel Like Writing
Holy Crap Batman!
Holy effing sh*t! They're finally opening a Games Workshop near me. Like, literally a few blocks from my house. I can finally find someone to play against without having to drive to Cincy! I'm a little excited, in case you can't tell. I know where I'll be next Saturday (which is the Man O' War … Continue reading Holy Crap Batman!
Long Work Week
In the midst of a surprise nine day work week. I'll have something more as soon as I have a day off. In the meantime, here are some kittens with puppies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MezotwyMbNQ
No Review This Week
I was going to review Stephen Zimmer's The Exodus Gate today over at SBR until I realized that I didn't easily remember some of the details, so it's back on the "to be reread" pile. The only other book I have that is remotely ready to be reviewed is Jim Butcher's latest, Cold Days, which I wanted to … Continue reading No Review This Week
Random Ramblings
I was all set to review David Weber's A Beautiful Friendship over at SBR today until my brain went ffff-phat! (seriously, make that sound. That's what my brain did). The grey matter hit the proverbial brick wall and the results... aren't pretty. On the plus side, I am doing a tiny bit of editing. You see, you don't necessarily need … Continue reading Random Ramblings
I really love Sarah Hoyt. Listen to how she breaks down why we can't have our cake and eat it, too.
Sha’Daa Pawns is Live
Apparently it's up at Amazon. Why don't people tell me these things?
I did an interview with a new book review site a few weeks ago and it just went live. It was fun and the editor (Mandi Lynch) was very patient with me, in spite of my giggling as I was responding.
I do believe she was merely slightly freaked out.
Also, I have another film shoot today, and potentially two more coming up, so less writing time. More screen time, though. Not sure which I prefer.
For the first time ever, and probably the only time ever, I was in the room when this interview took place, but still using current media to be as detached as possible from this process – I emailed him the questions, he emailed me the answers. Still, watching him answer was sometimes better than the answers themselves. What you guys don’t know about Jason is that he’s got a wicked sense of humor, and being around him is like being around somebody you’ve been friends with for decades – even if you’ve only known him ten minutes. Anyway, before I start to sound like a groupie, I should end this introduction. This is Jason Cordova…
Let’s start with the basics. Who are you?
My name is Jason Cordova. Yeah, that guy.
Tell us (briefly) about you…
I live in Lexington, Kentucky and have a BA in History and an MA…

Happy Birthday SBR
It took me two very long years, but I finally got the domain name for Shiny Book Review. It's now at http://www.shinybookreview.com and it make me happy. Yeah, it's a little long. I don't care. It's mine, all mine! Muwahahahaa! Okay, so I'm a little excited about it. We've been online since 2010 and while that's not … Continue reading Happy Birthday SBR
