2011 and all that
And so, the time for the traditional end-of-year roundup LJ post has come around again.
...yeah, sure, let's pick it up.
2011 was a pretty good year for me, don't get me wrong. A lot of good things happened this year - I spoke at the Emerging Writers' Festival, saw a bunch of great comedy, published Godheads as an ebook, published a whole bunch of ( Read more... ) -
Are you there, LiveJournal? It's me, Patrick.
Yo, LJ. Sup? Chillin' chillin?
Yeah, okay, I can't pull that off. Back to my normal voice.
So I admit it, I ain't haven't been around much lately. There was the whole wedding thing, and the lead up to the wedding, and the wind down from the wedding, and the hanging out with guests and taking small children on excursions, and people sleeping in the ( Read more... ) -

Dear LiveJournal,
I know I've been a bit crap with updates over the last few months. It's not you, it's me. I've had a lot on my mind, to be honest. Publishing projects, PODcom posts, visitors, alcohol and oh yeah, I was preparing to get married.
Well, I'm happy to say that I can cross that last off my to-do list.

Absent without update
Hi folks,
Sorry to have gone so long without breaking radio silence, but as you may know, emrhyck and I are getting married in (checks watch) eight days, and getting ready for the big event is taking up all my time and energy.
There's a lot involved - folding paper cranes, buying Batman sneakers, cleaning the house, making playlists, writing vows, building ( Read more... ) -
Tribulation - Carnivale (part 1)
After many, many months of disorganisation, other commitments and players being interstate/overseas, we finally managed to assemble more than a week ago to play another session (the third!) of our Weird West Smallville game.
I should have written it up ages ago, but I didn't. Bad GM.
Anyway, details behind the cut. They're kinda long.

Bachelor Party XI: The Bucksnightening
There's just four all-too-short weeks to go until emrhyck and I get hitched (FOR REALS), and our lives are currently consumed by nailing down all the things left left to organise - the Batman sneakers, the dessert buffet, the last paper cranes to fold, the slow jazz version of 'Too Drunk to Fuck'... you know, all the traditional stuff like that.
It's very ( Read more... ) -

Professional editing/publishing day job update:
For the last 18 months I've been working on commissioning and publishing a series of 12 maths textbooks for primary and high schools.
Today the advance copies of the last books arrived.

To counteract the pessimism and rantiness of the previous post, I wrote an entry over at patrickoduffy.com about five really fun, worthwhile comic books (with nary a superhero in sight).
So if you haven't checked it out already, go over there and learn about some great titles that can provide far more enjoyment than anything in the DC reboot.

52 put down
So a while ago, I wrote a long diatribe about the impending DC Comics reboot and my thoughts upon it. (And in the process apparently decided that I would mainly use LJ for sporadic posts about geek stuff, since that's how this journal has looked since then, but I digress.)
Well, the reboot is no longer impending; it kicked it at the start of ( Read more... )
