A Bit Of Chat: I
TOOK A WEEK OFF!!!
I
managed to take my birthday week off at the beginning of the month,
and in that time went to see my amazing PT who lives on the other
side of the country and beat me up real good :) I also bought a new
bike and have been cycling (goodness I’m in lousy shape) and I’m
pretty sure it’s been pretty good for me. And I’ve a friend
visiting now, so I’ve taken several half days this week and gone to
do stuff with her, which has been absolutely wonderful! Who knew that
time off was so great?!
Let’s
see. I blew through Livia Day’s Cafe La Femme cozies a
couple weeks ago, those were fun. I’ve read several of her books
under various names and they’ve all been charming, so worth
checking out! And my friend Matthew Dow Smith’s latest October
Girl graphic novel just came out and I got that, which was
splendid, and Elva Birch’s Lion in Wait was out last month!
Oh,
and I got to read an early copy of the now-available Thieftess
by Alethea Kontis, which is part of an ongoing series in a truly
complex fairy tale world with tons of adventure and romance!
I
have watched very, very little TV or movies lately, weirdly enough. I
did go see the new He-Man film, which was exactly what you should
expect from a He-Man movie (ie, not much) but it had its charm and
the young man playing Adam/He-Man was kind of great. :) Other than
that I think it’s mostly been Tracker, which is the
lowest-stakes-nominally-high-stakes tv show I’ve ever seen. It
requires extremely little of me as a viewer and right now I really
appreciate that...
And
finally, HEARTBREAKINGLY, our Masks of Nyarlathotep game has come to
an end. We all survived and more or less saved the world, but after
41 sessions and 2 years of playing, the entire gaming group has
honestly had to take a minute to mourn and try to adjust to the idea
of not playing it anymore. We have had simply the absolute best time
imaginable with it, and we’re all really emotional over it
wrapping.
So
that’s me this month. I’ll be back in a few days with the
almost-final chapters of SHARK-MAN, and then we’ll wrap that up in
July and launch the crowdfund in August! Eeee, very excite! :D
