Latest reading \/ writing progress: Finished a re-read of Tom Clancy’s Red Storm Rising<\/i>, which is like The Lord Of The Rings<\/i> of military thrillers; long and complicated, but internally consistent and plausible and worth the read if you can stick it out. Trying to read Terry Pratchett’s Men At Arms<\/i> or The Truth<\/i>, but I keep stalling in the early pages of each. Last year, Witches Abroad<\/i> did a much better job of sucking me in.<\/p>\n
Wrote a bunch of flavor text last night, and a few hundred words for “Cat Out Of Hell” over the weekend. Also figured out what the MacGuffin<\/a> should be for “That Goat Doesn’t Belong To You”, making it more a part of the story and slightly less of a MacGuffin.<\/p>\n Our Lord of the Rings CCG<\/a> is addictive, and I’m not saying that as an employee, either. raininva<\/a> keeps killing me at the Bridge of Khazad-Dum<\/a>, though.<\/p>\n I got honked at on the way to work this morning because someone mistimed his sudden acceleration and wasn’t able to cut me off as he’d planned. I guess he was trying to say, How dare you prevent me from being rude to you!<\/i><\/p>\n I did nothing for Mardi Gras last night, continuing a tradition I’ve maintained as long as I can remember. I will probably continue that tradition next month<\/strike> in a few months for Cinco de Mayo too. But at least Card Night will probably be a go this weekend – MarsCon and sicknesses have put a damper on the last few.<\/p>\n
