White Friday

[judd_sonofbert]

Reading: I am still making my way through Alchemy of Stone and it is a stunning book that I am just not making time to read at the moment. I will likely finish it in the next few days, especially if I take the train to see Janaki on Saturday, work willing.

Planning: Off to see my lady-friend as long as the tickle in my throat is just muscle

reading: Sit Down and Shut Up by Brad Warner, Black Cadillacs: Steel-toed Edition by Darcy Burgess

planning: Nothing really though I should be having man-time with Chris here soon. Oh and Trollbabe on Sunday.

wearing: I'm currently wearing a green print t-shirt, jeans, a studded belt, white socks, and a gray and black scarf.

writing: Doing some game design stuff. I wrote up an alpha draft for the Indie Game Company Game Design Challenge and I'm waiting to hear back from the developer.

Reading: Empire of Dust. In 20 minutes I make a run to the game store to pick up the 3 Vampire supplements I ordered, so more of that this weekend, too.

Planning/Playing: Nothing serious. Maybe some more Left 4 Dead with JDCorley and friends, but for the rest of the weekend I'm doing the last bits of Tenra writing work.

Weaing: My "Irony Suit": Camo cargo pants, and my shirt with the giant "Om" symbol on it.

Writing: Ah, aforementioned Tenra. Oh, and this weekend is the weekend in which I write up my christmas cards as well.

Reading: Just finished Alchemy of Stone, which I started on your recommendation last week. Not sure if I like how it ended, but it was a decent read. Hm, should probably do one of about 5 books next, and they're all clamoring for attention.

Planning: Probably more visits to Neutral Ground, a game store which closes at year's end, alas. A trip to Borders, maybe. And I forgot to pick up comics this week. Well, comic.

Wearing: Flash Girls t-shirt, black pants, with an extra layer underneath.

Writing: My zine for Alarums & Excursions, and probably more Presque Vue character sheets.

Hm, having proofread an article on steampunk for The New York Review of Science Fiction, I now understand better why the book ends the way it does. I think I still don't like that, or the reasons for it, but this is all about what steampunk is (or started out as), so it's not a question of the author losing control or anything. It's a clear choice, for a valid reason, and simply not to my taste.

That said, I'm still pondering picking up Secret History of Moscow.

reading: 100 Bullets Vol. 5 and The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson

planning: Happy hour, perhaps followed by Rock Band

wearing: long-sleeve blue t-shirt and jeans

writing: occasional bits here and there for the 4e campaign that I may have to convince the players could be a decent and long thing despite their general jackassery when making charactes

[niwandajones]

reading: Toll the Hounds at home, Sly Mongoose on the bus to work, and Gunnerkrigg Court when I'm in front of a computer.

planning: The next stage of KotS for the weekend, and how to talk to the librarian I'm doing my internship for about getting to endgame on the project.

wearing: The sweater and t-shirt I wore to work, pajama pants, slippers. It's good to be home.

writing: Not much, but I should change that. Maybe the internship, maybe something fun, maybe a post for Nascent Librarian.
