Save Arrested Development!
Fox is cutting back the number of episodes they've ordered again, and has stopped showing it this month, instead showing reruns of other shows. Grr.
Here's an article, though, that summarizes everything that's good about the show.

Catching up...
Well, half of my share of Sekrit Projekt A (as ptevis calls it) is finished, but I'm still lagging behind on the other half. I hit a snag with it earlier this week, and what looked like an easy adaptation turned out to be much more complicated than I'd originally anticipated. As I became more familiar with the source material, I realized that something I ( Read more... ) -
Praise for Ars Magica, True Lineages and The Divine
W00T! Check out these comments about Houses of Hermes: True Lineages and Realms of Power: The Divine, two books for Ars Magica Fifth Edition that I had a lot to do with writing. The thread is discussing why Ars Magica is possibly the best magic system of any fantasy roleplaying game. I must agree, though I admit I'm biased. :)

Arrested Development!
I really love the show Arrested Development. The humor is clever and witty, and the writing is unbelievably good. Like one or two other good shows on TV, they obviously plan out the story in advance, so that they can set up jokes and reference others throughout the season. I think it's generally very intelligent humor that isn't inaccessible or ( Read more... ) -
Writing and writing and writing...
I'm incredibly stressed about deadlines. I have to write about 20,000 words in the next week, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Part of it is the creativity, coming up with enough interesting things to fill up all the pages, but most of it is the actual time it takes to write that many words. Organizing my thoughts is difficult. I' ( Read more... ) -
Divine Reviews
After some lively theological discussion on RPG.net about a month ago, opinions on the new Ars Magica book I helped write seem to have died down (Realms of Power: The Divine). The reviews seem extremely positive, at least among people who have actually read the book, though apparently the introduction rubbed at least one reader the wrong way. Pity ( Read more... ) -
Hash of events
I have a great deal of writing to do this weekend and next weekend. I submitted more proposals than I probably should have for this one, and now I have to deliver. The people at the library are starting to recognize me and the subjects I'm researching (I think they think I'm a geeky research student or something), and the people at the Subway where ( Read more... ) -
Halloween and other rumblings
Halloween came and went. It's still my favorite holiday, but this year was fairly depressing. Actually, there were many things that were great, but two things that upset me were that 1) almost no one at work dressed in costume, and 2) we only got two trick-or-treaters all night. We even went all out on decorating the house, with Heinrich (our life- ( Read more... ) -
Here's me.
Some friends of mine convinced me to keep an online journal, so here we are. This seems kind of odd to me, since I'm more the kind of person who reads what others write, rather than putting my own thoughts out for others to see. In a conversation, I usually enjoy listening to others more than speaking. I'm not sure what to make of this, but there ( Read more... )
