No Comic Day, so some random stuff
Mar. 5th, 2008 08:06 pmNo comics today, which is good, cause the snowstorm made walking to and from work hard enough, would have been a pain to have to take the extra side trip.
Terminator was pretty good last night - I think it wasn't the best of the season, but there were great moments in both of the eps that I loved. Really hope the show comes back next year.

First, I'm still in my winter depressive season. Got the short story rejection. Had to help my Dad move all weekend (went back and helped again on the Sunday) and so didn't get any time to relax. And I think I might be getting sick. So, although a new writing cycle starts tomorrow, I think I'm going to beg off on it and make this an editing week (maybe even an editing month). Do some free writing when I'm inspired, but take the meter off, and try to get some other short stories in working shape to be sent off into the world and try to sell themselves.
Oh, and speaking of Gaiman, through the First Look Program with HarperCollins they had the graphic novel adaptation of Gaiman's Coraline, so I requested that. Hopefully I'll get it because yay, free book + Gaiman book = yay, free Gaiman book. That's math I can get behind.
In sadder news, Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons and the father of roleplaying games, died yesterday. Most of my flist already knows and have posted on it, but I wanted to post my own little reflections on how he impacted my life, cut and pasted from a comic forum I hang out at:
