I've been working on a big release at work that lasts until the end of the month. The weekend after that, it's a possible convention to get some stuff for a podcast I've been doing with a friend for the last few months. There seems to be a lot of other stuff going on ( Read more... )

Finally got around to seeing The Hobbit this weekend.

Last entry, I expressed concern about The Hobbit movie being cut up into three movies. Thankfully, the_aristocat and starrc gave a different view that I considered going into watching the film. Thinking of it not so much as The Hobbit, but rather The Quest for Erebor was a big help, and I'm now very glad that I ( Read more... )

I discovered The Hobbit before I discovered Dungeons and Dragons (D&D). I'm sure it's no big coincidence that when I started playing D&D in fifth grade (1979/1980), reading The Hobbit the year before had a lot to do with my love for the game. I'd read The Hobbit twice by then...I'd even seen a theatrical production of the story...in the round on a ( Read more... )

I've never posted from the LJ app. So...this is a test.

I'm on vacation this week. Not a whirlwind, on the road vacation...but a lazy, hang out vacation. Not that it's been all lazy: I've done a lot of my two favorite things: hanging out with Cynthia and writing.

That makes it a great vacation, and there are still 4 days off!

So that's my week. It's ( Read more... )

I woke up around 3:00 this morning. I crashed at a decent time, but woke up from the heat. I almost got back to sleep, but then I thought about writing.

Once I do that, I'm up for awhile.

Things have been going well with writing lately. My blog is almost two years old, and I'm selling ebooks. People still listen to my podcast, and sales of my ( Read more... )
