a couple of observations
To the nice guy on his cell phone, Virginia license plate LEX REX: Yes, a stop sign means you COME TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP. Not speed up and whip through the intersection so you can cut me off.
Second one: Rode Metro to work today. Was expecting a lot of hippies. Instead, ended up with a bunch of tourons. I guess that's what I get when I go ( Read more... ) -
Runo Knows...The Quantum Connection
The Quantum Connection is a sequel to Warp Speed.
It's set a few years afterwards. This time, instead of following one of the scientists involved, it follows (in first person) a young man whose entire family was killed in the "meteors" that were actually World War Three. Despite his bouts of chronic depression, he finds employment with a ( Read more... ) -
Runo Knows...Warp Speed
Anyways, here we go - something a bit different.
Warp Speed is the first novel by Dr. Travis S. Taylor. In the rather near future, the idea of creating a warp drive is possible, but until a redneck scientist's team in Alabama discovers a way to power them, it's simply not feasible. Soon, however, starting in space and continuing on Earth the ( Read more... ) -
Runo Knows...Scourge the Heretic
Back to some non-Horus Heresy Warhammer 40K fiction, and the last one for a while (probably). It's more that I'm tired of writing about them than anything.
Scourge the Heretic by Sandy Mitchell is more of a tie-in to the new 40K roleplaying Dark Heresy than a stand-alone book. And it's not a stand-alone book, either; a lot of the background really ( Read more... ) -
more new music
This time (mostly) by guys:
Flogging Molly Float
GREAT CD!
The Killers Sawdust
Didn't realize it was B-sides/rare cuts or wouldn't have bought it. On the other hand, I did like Sam's Town. -
voice mail
Okay.
One thing for today:
If I leave you voicemail, it means I have information for you. It usually means you do not need to call me back. I understand that most people will simply call back if they see a missed call, and therefore, if I need to talk to you, I won't bother with a message.
But to have a coworker call me back, after seeing he'd ( Read more... ) -
Runo Knows...The Horus Heresy: Descent of Angels
This is kind of an unfinished one, it feels like to me. It's obviously intended to be the start of another series, or sub-series, or whatever you want to call it ( Read more... ) -
I know, I know
But she was playing at the 9:30 Club, so I looked her up, and dug her tunes...

Runo Knows...American Gods
Ha! Caught you off-guard with a Gaiman book, and there's a reason for that.
I'd read his collaboration with Terry Pratchett before (Good Omens) a long time ago. He's been one of those writers that I always mean to read, and never quite getting around to pulling the trigger on buying one of his books.
I started reading his LJ feed and when I saw him ( Read more... ) -
I can't believe it.
We've been getting new appliances in the past week or so. First a dishwasher, then a microwave, and now a refrigerator ( Read more... )
