What an odd, tepid summer it has been.

Reading: I have picked up Iron Council again and have begun to re-read that.

Planning: Lots of running around and visiting friends this weekend.

Wearing: Jeans and a Dragon Day t-shirt with my vibram ten fingered shoes.

Writing: I have been trying to make progress on a couple of things and it just isn't ( Read more... )

Reading: Finishing up The City & the City. Enjoying it quite a bit.

Wearing: Jeans and a new button down with a muscle-y tank top underneath.

Planning: July 4th trip this weekend.

Writing: Outlining a sci-fi thing and continuing to edit the sci-fi story that looks like the first chapter of a novella. You know me, pushing the line from ( Read more... )

My shoes are still wet from my walk to the car yesterday. Soggy socks. Ick.

Reading: I have been listening to Perdido Street Station on my iPod, reading comic books and reading City & the City when I have the time.

Planning: This weekend, meeting up with some friends about a writing project and just relaxing. This is the first weekend this ( Read more... )

I like these gray, dreary summer days. I hope it thunderstorms.

Reading: I didn't read much this week because Joshua asked me to read over Shock: Social Science Fiction for its 1.1 to 1.2 run. I suggested a half dozen little tweaks. Behind Burning Wheel, Shock: is the game I have been playing the most. I have some thoughts on it that will be ( Read more... )

I should be packing.

Reading: Still reading The City & the City, which is a solid read but man I miss Bas Lag. Also, I've been reading over the Summoning rules in the Magic Burner. My character can summon the sanctified dead, the unsanctified dead and demi-gods. Oh yeah.

Planning: Jiffy Con!

Wearing: Sweat pants and a t-shirt.

Writing: ( Read more... )

Came home from work, took a nap and woke up in the middle of the night. In other news, my shiny new Blackberry is not working. I am not amused. I cannot get it out of its locked state, buttons do not work. Suck.

Reading: I was going to wait for Mieville's new book; I work at a freaking library. I can wait. But when I went to Borders to pick ( Read more... )

Reading: I read Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things last night and it was adorable. Review is-a-comin'. I am now reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and it is splendid. The perceived slowness, to my mind, isn't because of the pacing of the actual text, but because the inside cover blurb discusses the going's on of almost half the book. ( Read more... )

Reading: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and it is scratching my fantasy itch quite nicely. I am going to write a longer review once I am done but if you have lived in Ithaca and had brushes with its academia, you'd love it. It largely takes place in a magical academy that is very much like Hogwarts graduate school and if those words ( Read more... )

That semester is over.

Alright.

Reading: I am going to pick up the first book of the Del Rey Elric reprints and finish it off. After that it is Genghis Khan and Mortal Coil.

Planning: A lovely weekend with my ladyfriend, mayhaps Star Trek and a party on Saturday.

Wearing: My green button down with super-secret pocket compartments and a white t ( Read more... )

Reading: Articles on Net Neutrality

Planning: One paper done today, another done the day after that.

Wearing: Sweat pants and a t-shirt.

Writing: Yeah, you get the idea.

How about you?
