I will be on Geek Gab tonight.

10 PM, Eastern Time. You should be able to catch it above. Looking forward to it, and I’m just glad I wasn’t doing it yesterday, when I was mildly delirious. Then again, it might have been interesting to listen to. In a trainwreck sort of way.

Check out my books if you haven’t, as always.

Tweet of the Day, I Am Actually Surprised edition.

I should have something snarky to say, here: but while I am feeling a good deal better, I’m not really back yet. Assume I came up with something witty.

Microfiction: Detachment of the Grave.

100WS-Detachment of the GraveDownloadPatreon!

Zombies never made as much sense to me as revenants do. I can buy the idea of a spirit taking control of its old body and piloting it with the, ah, detachment of the grave more than I can really believe in a shambling zombie with a hunger for brains and warm flesh. The latter just seems to require more steps, I guess.

Anyway.

The RINGS OF POWER: SEASON 2 Pitch Meeting.

I’m with @DaddyWarpig on this one. Ryan George may have delved too deep when doing the Pitch Meeting for RINGS OF POWER, although I doubt he did so greedily. I haven’t actually watched this season, and I’m probably not going to, and you can read into that whatever you like.

‘My Guitar Gently Weeps.’

Back to bed…

Book of the Week: Beyond the Ranges.

I’ve been meaning to read John Ringo and James Aidee’s Beyond the Ranges for a bit now, but only finally got around to it because I’m sick with a cold. It’s clearly the first book in a series about planetary colonization, with a healthy dose of mysterious precursors and the need for developing a functioning economy in the process. Started slow, but picked up. Check it out.

Today was better.

More or less, mostly more. Been sleeping a lot. I figure tomorrow will be much less miserable, and Monday I’ll be generally functional. Right now I just want to watch and read things and not think too hard.

Colds suck.

Tweet of the Day, Mike Tyson Unironically Does A Philosophy edition.

Via Hot Air. Mind you, I don’t really agree with that philosophy, but Mike Tyson has one, it is self-consistent, and many other people have it. It weirded out the kid a little, sure, but not in a creepy way and they gotta learn about this stuff sometime.

I still have the plague!

Man, but I did not miss catching colds. This absolutely sucks, especially since this is the first time in years that we’ve gotten hit like this. Which is probably why we’ve all been so miserable around the house here, and now it’s my turn.

Alas, I expect I’ll be out for the weekend, at this rate. Certainly I’ve had to cancel a minor SCA vending activity tomorrow, although that was more ‘get out of the house’ than ‘sell books.’ Oh, well. Back to the fluids and Dayquil.

Guess who finally caught the Plague?

Which is probably for the best. Everybody else in the house has gotten over or is getting this cold, so I can safely suffer in peace and quiet for a couple of days. It’s plenty of fluids and decongestants for me!
