Ever read a science fiction novel and realize halfway through that it... wasn't? I'm reading this story right now that someone sent me (friend of a friend, apparently) and it was billed as a SF novel. I went ahead and started reading it and realized about 100 pages in that it was more of a … Continue reading The Novel That Wasn’t
Nobody’s As Cool As LeVar
The wonderful Sarah Hoyt (a writer who blogs, who is one of my favorite people) was talking about the "Art of the Human Condition" this morning over at her blog (read it here) and just what people seem to want. The quotes are mine, since it was hard for me to sum up the entirety … Continue reading Nobody’s As Cool As LeVar
Sleeping Is Good, Right?
I'll have my review of Larry Correia's Spellbound tonight. I wrote it, then realized that I didn't really talk much about the book and more about the coolness factor at play in the world he created, so I scratched it and I'm starting over. I hate when that happens. Stupid authors and their awesomenesses... On my … Continue reading Sleeping Is Good, Right?
BCS Buster
So... who thinks that there's going to be an SEC vs SEC BCS title game this year? If you think that, let me break it down for you as two why that won't happen. Four words: PAC-12 Commissioner Larry Scott. This man, who took the PAC-10 from near irrelevance (remember when it was USC and the PAC-9?) … Continue reading BCS Buster
Off Day Magic
Sorry about yesterday's post. Was over-analyzing something I had on my mind and it blew up into... that. More free stuff over at Sarah Hoyt's place. Seriously, if you aren't following her FREE book yet, you really should. Here are chapters 5 & 6. Go read. FREE. Seriously. Got (and finished) Spellbound: Book 2 of … Continue reading Off Day Magic
Karzai the… Intelligent?
It's been... six days since my nonsensical post and, for the life of me, I can't remember what it was going to be about. Must not have been too important, right? There's a lot going on in this world right now. I'm happy to still be a part of it, despite my disagreeing with the … Continue reading Karzai the… Intelligent?
A Post About… Something? I Forget.
I swear by the unholy fires of Mordor that I will make my Carne Tres Queso Chili this winter. It's cold, my fingers are numb from it and I really want some of my cursed chili. Mental note to self: buy a chili pot or, money allowing, a crock pot. ...just saw report on the … Continue reading A Post About… Something? I Forget.
Read A Book, Read A Book!
Somehow I went 40 hours with only 45 minutes sleep and only mildly went insane (my poor coworkers...). I promise to never* do that again. The lack of sleep I mean. The insanity was fun. Nothing new to report (well, minus the lack of a few brain cells but eh, I won't miss them...) and nothing … Continue reading Read A Book, Read A Book!
#OccupyHell and Other Tags
It's strange. It's been over 16 months since the Colonel Kratman interview and it's still generating plenty of traffic. The only thing that is generating more is my Larry Correia interview, which blew everything away at the time and is still plenty popular. Of course, everyone else is in on the Monster Hunter secret now, … Continue reading #OccupyHell and Other Tags
Boring Updates
Here is your weekly freebie, courtesy once more of the amazingly talented (and award winning!!! yes, the three !!! make it seem more important. It's statistically proven!!!) Sarah A Hoyt. Witchfinder -- Chapter Three Look around on the site for the first two chapters. It's a pretty good read so far, except that I am … Continue reading Boring Updates
Pain! Ow!
I got tore up today and, as usual, it was all my fault. Wally (cat #2) was brawling with Casper (cat #1) in the dining room. Usually I ignore it, because A) Casper's never really hurt Wally, and B) someone's in charge, and as soon as Wally realizes that it's not him, the house will … Continue reading Pain! Ow!
Jericho Questions
I wonder if anybody else got into Jericho as fiercely as I have and stopped to ask themselves "How did this show get cancelled?" Really. How did it get cancelled? It has good writing, realistic characters and enough mystery to keep the viewer coming back for more. Was this a casualty of the writer's strike? … Continue reading Jericho Questions
The Man Who Sold the World
I'm feeling very melancholy today. I shall treat you to some Nirvana now and go on my way.
The Status Quo
...sucks. Really. If I followed the status quo, I doubt I'd be in Kentucky with my job. I seriously doubt I'd be writing, or selling. I know I wouldn't be in training to become a professional editor, nor would I have the chance at one day running a publishing company. I'm unorthodox in my approach, … Continue reading The Status Quo
Newsdays
I have been busy busy busy these past few days. You may (or, more likely, may not) have noticed? First, for those of you who must have regular updates on things I'm doing, I'm on Twitter @WarpCordova. I usually blather about nothing but once in awhile I put up something of use. I also have … Continue reading Newsdays
