This was one of two albums that I was actively looking forward to this year – the other being TV on the Radio’s Nine Types of Light which, while good, was not what I was hoping for. So far, I’m finding this album more satisfying (blasphemy, I know). I’m still not sure if it’s as [...]

…and I don’t know WHAT the fuck is going on. Seriously. This may be the densest first chunk of fantasy I have ever read. So much name and location dropping. So much subtext in conversations that I feel like I should understand and know is being shoved between the lines & have a clue about [...]

by: Patrick Rothfuss SO GOOD. Really, that’s all I need to say, but I’ll try and take up some more page space. When I read a book I’m really into my temperature drops and my pulse rate rises. Seriously, everytime I put down the book I was cold and my heart was beating. Even the [...]

This week I had my 6 year anniversary at my current job. Which feels a little bit old man crazy. I mean, that’s not even that long, right? Still, it’s longer than I’ve worked anywhere else by a huge margin and yet another reminder of time creeping by. Thankfully, it’s not longer than I spent [...]

OK, so I didn’t get to it yesterday, but I don’t see anyone complaining – so here’s the first bit. This is the first 5 pages or so, basically the section I submitted when agents requested the first five pages. It cuts right at a scene break, so that works. This seemed to do OK [...]

So, I’ve decided that I’ll take the plunge and post an excerpt from my first book later today (I have two finished, first books in two different series). Maybe tonight. Probably just the first chapter. It’s about 20 pages though, so I’ll probably wind up attaching a .pdf, since that much in one post would [...]

I mean, I’m in the 3rd act, and I do want to see the ending but YAWWWWNNNNNNNNN. What? Oh, sorry – and that’s about how I feel whenever I think about actually playing through the repetitive battle scenes. Don’t get me wrong, the combat is fun and stuff, but how many times can you fight [...]

(The Band). What, you thought this was going to be some soul-wrenching post about purity? Perish the thought; I’d have to stop sinning first! My first sin was dangerous punctuation. The second, was surely sloth for not posting this yesterday. I have their first album, self-titled, from 2009. And it is good. BUT. It didn’t/doesn’t [...]

Preview of their first issue (25) up here, but unfortunately sans text. The interior art looks… so-so, not horrible or experience ruining but it’s not blowing me away. But that cover…. Emma Frost &…is that X-23 on the right? One of the dead Hellions (Catseye?)? Whoever they are that’s a solid cover (although Emma’s face [...]

Those of you that know me, know that my game of choice tends to be City of Heroes, at least for the last 6-7 (!) years. I’ll take breaks every so often – sometimes up to 4-5 months – and dig into another game or two, but I always seem to come back. There just [...]
