the Corinthian, Walter and the Dude floored me. The kids too, excellent!
but..a moustache-list without Poirot? for shame, Wheaton.
A few pictures from GenCon
Today and tomorrow, I'm narrating the audio version of Zach Weinersmith's The Trial of the Clone. I'm up nice and early because I'm apparently on the same schedule as my puppy. In place of a proper post about GenCon (which was exhausting but lots of fun), here are a few pictures of awesome thing...
Slightly inclined to get rich, and buy all the movietheatres in teh worldz just to show this.
Because it will give me an excuse to buy and own and wear an ascot.
Last night, I was out having a drink with a friend of mine. Because we are both nerds and writers, our conversation steered into nerdy writer territory and stayed there. It was unseasonably warm, so we sat on an outdoor patio -- one of the few that isn't rendered useless to me by an army of smok...

I just thought about thiswhen I got my smartphone and got to play a scrable equivalent with my hubby again.^^
on the importance of making time to play the games you like with the people you love
In the introduction to my short collection of gaming essays called Games Matter, I wrote: Of all the things that make me a geek, nothing brings me more joy, or is more important to me, than gaming. I am the person I am today because of the games I played and the people I played them with as I ...

Excellent point there at the end. (And the stories were good.)
This is my third year of NaNoWriMo, and it is SO much fun to just write, and go with the flow.
But the boost I get from actually daring to show it someone makes it all worthwhile, even if I get rejected etc, because that's not really the point. I dared to do it.
And Carries mum always did deserve to be stapled to a wall, in my opinion.
living in another world
Well, last week really got away from me, didn't it? I meant to write some blog stuff last week, but I was too busy working on [AWESOME SECRET THING] and [OTHER AWESOME SECRET THING THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM AWESOME SECRET THING]. It looks like my plan to sell some books will have to wait for a few d...
Ok. You sucked me in. I admit it. I couldn't just *take* the story for free, you're one of my heroes. And I loved it. Would love to see it as a novel, tv-series, game.. I loved it.
You were my first e-book purchase by the way. (you were gentle.)
Oh,and I only had 2$ left on my card,so that's what you got.
HUNTER is coming...
Check it out: A little excerpt from Hunter can be found in this post. Or you can keep reading here: Pyke chased the girl down a street still wet with the afternoon’s rainfall. A thin sliver of moon was glowing behind the thinning clouds, but it wasn’t bright enough to pierce the darkness betwe...
I got to say, Wil. anything you write is printworthy, but I can see what you mean. As I'm addicted to the ancient ways; the physical book, I'll probably wait, - even though I want to read this right away.
<3 you rock!

Will get the book when I am less broke and it's more in a ..paperish form. As with your other books.
And I will keep nagging on my library to get your books^^
The Day After and Other Stories goes digital
tl;dr: The Day After And Other Stories is once again available for download. It's $4.99 at Lulu. Yay! In December of last year, I released a very short collection of very short stories for a very short time - just ten days, actually - as an experiment in releasing short fiction. It sold fai...
I wish I had finished school. I had a lot of issues,bullying which caused severe anxiety amongst other things, that made it damn near impossible to do anything other than just survive.
I wish I had been strong enough to finish school, get the education I wanted and have a job I actually like.
I wish.
a point of clarification
Yesterday, I overheard some twentysomethings complaining about how much they hated their jobs. After a few minutes, it became clear that none of them took high school seriously, and at least a couple of them had dropped out of community college because it was, in their words, "too hard." I Twitt...
You are exceptionally good at conveying a mood. Always a pleasure to read your snippets of the world.
a nice walk about
It is unseasonably warm here (you're welcome, Southern California; I brought the weather from JoCoCruseCrazy home with me) so project Get Outside And Exercise A Little Bit Every Day has been easier than it was in December. Yesterday, I took Seamus with me on my walk. The Western sky was beginnin...

You write so beautifully.
I cannot imagine a thing that terrifies so much to my very core - and drags me to it at the same time - except the universe - the EVERYTHING out there.
It's really cold here,where I live, (northern Norway - near Hammerfest) and it's rural - so you really get to appreciate the starry skies.
This makes me think back to when I was thirteen - and at perfect peace with myself - after standing and staring at the starry sky for an hour. That is, untill my mother dragged me back in so the neighbours wouldn't gossip.
I think the nightsky is the thing we all tend to forget when we grow up - it's there,and we know it's beautiful - but we don't stare anymore.
So this - this made me very happy. I'll go outside now and just stare. :)
(One of the fortunate things with winter here is that it's always nighttime)
starry starry night
I stayed up until almost one this morning, reading comic books. I know, it's like I'm 12 all over again. And it's awesome. Around four, Anne woke me up. "What's wrong?" I said, while I was still waiting to clear immigration between Dreamland and Reality. "Nothing. I just couldn't sleep, so I got...
Transmetropolitan and Sandman are the ultimate ones - at least for me.
There is just something in Sandman that is so incredibly TRUE - it gives me a real sense of life and the big issues - no matter how mythical or magical the inhabitants within are.
For the same reason Transmet really gives me joy. Transmet's Spider Jerusalem is going on my arm as a constant reminder that the Truth is out there, it ain't always nice, it ain't always pretty - but it's still the Truth.
For the other ones - I'm taking notes furiously and wishing (to my great astonishment) that I could be American, and have comic book stores all over the place.
ZAP! POW! OOFF! ZOK! BIFF! A post about comics and TPBs.
A couple times a year, I have to go through all the comics and trades in my office and put them into long boxes that live in the attic. When I do this, I always end up pulling out a few trades that I want to read again, so now you know what I've spent most of my discretionary (note that I didn't...

Anne- look! Maybe this will be the new season? Star trek; The smurf generation? :D
now it's just getting silly
The thing is, I don't even like The Smurfs*, but we have a friend who is working on The Smurfs, and we feel compelled to send him as much Smurf-related imagery as possible. If you wanted to caption this one, too, I'm certainly not going to stop you. *Currently, that is. When I was 8, I fuc...
Dude. Honourable mention..awesomesmurf^^
have a blue blue blue blue blue blue blue smurfmas
On Friday, I posted this picture, which I thought was just crying out for a caption: Holy crap, did you guys come through with replies. I think this post is the most-heavily commented post in the history of my blog, going back almost a decade. So, I said that I'd pick a winner, which was incre...
XD seriously excellent.
the circling hawks
Two days in a row, in two different places, twenty miles apart, I’ve seen two hawks circle in the sky above me. I know it’s simple coincidence, but I like to believe that they’re the same pair, soaring gracefully and beautifully on thermal currents just for me, so I don’t forget to appreciate th...
