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
-5
I'm still recovering from this crazy weekend (why are my weekends insane and weekdays dull and boring?), but a brief rundown has it at this: Days: 2 Hours worked: 42 Words written between real job and acting job: 3,000 Years off life: -5 I'm really looking forward to a day off soon.
Reading + Writer = Slacker!
I love it when a bunch of books I can't wait to read are all released at the same time. You can literally see my writing come screeching to a halt. In two days I've purchased and finished Jim Butcher's Cold Days, his latest in the Dresden Files, and Kevin Hearne's fifth book of his Iron … Continue reading Reading + Writer = Slacker!
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
15* Rules to Surviving the Abrams Dystopia
Before I start this, let me first say that I am a huge J. J. Abrams fan. I loved what he did with Star Trek, and Lost wasn't too bad (except for the ending). Super 8 was very entertaining and I really do enjoy most of what he produces. But damn it all to hell, what the hell … Continue reading 15* Rules to Surviving the Abrams Dystopia
Black Friday Mayhem
I'm still recovering from my turkey coma, so bear with me here. I was on my way to work and saw, well, mayhem is the only way I can describe it. You see, I live near a big mall and Target and Walmart (they're not close to one another, until you take into account I … Continue reading Black Friday Mayhem
Happy Turducken Day!
Just reviewed David Weber's A Beautiful Friendship over at SBR. One of the best YA books I've reads this year, hands down. Go take a look. Other than that, just working furiously on a short story. And playing Words With Friends. And blogging. And playing chess. Yep, I'm lame like that. Have a great Turducken Day.
The Same Old Song
My so-called "writer's block" lasted all of two days. That's rather pathetic, really. Wouldn't that make it more of an "easily climbable obstacle" than a block? It didn't take long to push past whatever was bothering me and get me back into the groove. I'm thankful that whatever it was is gone. Of course, the … Continue reading The Same Old Song
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
Good News
Good news on the war front: sold another short story this week. Wake, a dark, creepy horror story with a bit of a humorous bent, is going to see print sometime in 2013. I'm still waiting on official word, but I have a hard "yes" from them, which is nice to have. This is good … Continue reading Good News
Facebook Over
So yesterday, I saw that once more has Facebook taken our privacy settings and screwed them over, leaving all the personal information out there for any intrepid individual (or company) to find. Although I willingly signed up for Facebook, I was smart and didn't post too much personal information in there. I tried to use … Continue reading Facebook Over
Vote Today
I hope you exercised your right to vote today. I'm going "offline" this Thursday for five days, lasting until Tuesday-ish. I'll be around, but the blog will suffer, since I'm going to be "offline". Yes, I quoted that on purpose. I'll be looking in but not participating. Though to be fair, that's about all I … Continue reading Vote Today
I really love Sarah Hoyt. Listen to how she breaks down why we can't have our cake and eat it, too.
Are You Writing?
Wow, what a crazy week. Shot multiple scenes for Acts of God out in Louisville. Got to watch them blow stuff up (which was freaking cool), got into a firefight with Taliban (or the Hollywood equivalent... I think they're called "fellow extras"), got a speaking part in the movie (which may or may not be cut, I'll find … Continue reading Are You Writing?
Sha’Daa Pawns is Live
Apparently it's up at Amazon. Why don't people tell me these things?
