Got home Wednesday night, and my cops of 7th Sea 2nd Edition was on the porch - a most happy surprise! The book is gorgeous, and I kinda wish I'd had the resources to go in for an all-the-hardbacks pledge, because it appears that there will be a graphic extending across the spines of the books ( Read more... )

GenCon's this weekend. For a few months, I've said that this is my last time going, and I'm operating under that assumption. I'm looking forward to seeing Pat and Alex and Matt and some others, but I'd rather not have to put up with 62,000 other nerds.

Quite a few things have happened since the last update ( Read more... )

Mom&Dad got back earlier than expected, so I got to run around with them. Saw some places in Casey and Lincoln Counties that were new to me - the location of the house Dad lived in as a very young child, a small cave that may well have remained undiscovered forever had a road not been built where it was, and a huge railroad trestle, far larger than ( Read more... )

Grades came in. Slight improvement over the Fall term; could have been even better, had I not darn near checked out of 430. Missed the A in Policy by a few points and managed the A in Epidemilogy by a few. Given the chance, I would not reallocate those points ( Read more... )

GenCon ended on a pretty good note. There was the usual flurry of last-minute sales, and I contributed by picking up a copy of Last Night on Earth.

Fastest booth breakdown we've ever done - about 20 minutes, and Ben and I skipped out when we determined that there were too many people doing ( Read more... )

Yep, in Indianapolis. Taking a break between the Exhibitor Hall and dinner and dancing this evening ( Read more... )

It's done. For the third time in my life, a large Ford truck has been loaded up with nearly all of my worldly goods and taken me away from Mom&Dad's home. Unloading took less time than driving to Louisville; setup some time more ( Read more... )

UofL approved my appeal for financial aid. I'll have to maintain a GPA a full point lower than the goal I'm setting for myself to keep the money coming in - so help me, if I fail at that, my next reasonable step is to sneak onto the Kennedy Bridge some evening and experience deceleration trauma ( Read more... )

Things are mostly pretty darn good. I should have a lot more done on the packing and cleaning front, but I'll get it done in time. It's a heck of a thing. I bitch a lot about Lexington, and I am more than ready to move on, but this city's been home for almost 21 years, and I've had more good times than bad here ( Read more... )
