Working on my SCA heraldic device.

It turns out my name got registered years ago, and I completely forgot. It’s long since past time I actually did my actual device. This is what I’ve tentatively come up with.

…Yes. But is it hideous enough?

Had to put a shelving unit together today.

Will be doing another one tomorrow. Probably this time with a dust mask, because the dust was pretty awful. Definitely with a charged-up power drill, too.

PS: Oh, it all worked. But we spent a lot of time trying to figure out how everything went together. Tomorrow’s construction will hopefully go better.

The new ‘SALEM’S LOT new trailer.

…You know what? I’m gonna allow it. ‘SALEM’S LOT is one of my favorite vampire novels of all time and this simply looks right in terms of style and mood. Besides, it’s on Max so I’m already paying for it anyway. I might as well see it.

Book of the Week (re-upped): The Seventh Veil of Salome.

I’m reading Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s The Seventh Veil of Salome right now. It has the regrettable lack of any kind of supernatural elements thus far, but I guess that sometimes an author just wants to try an experiment. And, to be fair: there’s nothing inherently wrong with quote-unquote ‘mainstream literature.’ It just doesn’t usually attract the very best writers, that’s all.

…Oh, yes, I’m salty today. Dust inhalation after doing shelf construction this afternoon, coupled with an over-long nap. I’ll be fine.

Video of the Day, I Am Being Persuaded To Buy SPACE MARINES 2 edition.

This is legitimately funny.

Obligatory Amazon link.

I have the Sleep Madness.

I need to not stay up tonight. I’ve been dragging all day, mostly because this week has been lowkey very busy and I apparently drew down my reserves too much. Time for an early night’s sleep…

Moe Lane

PS: Oh, yeah, buy books or something.

Tweet of the Day, If You Don’t Get This, I Envy You edition.

The pun isn’t just awful. It’s downright eldritch. Even a little… disquieting, although that might just be the picture of the food.

‘Let the River Run.’

This movie was a bit of a lie in 1988, but the NYC of 1998 really was… well. ‘NYC’ is a sufficient compliment, during its Giuliani Summer years.

I need to make a TV Tropes page for me.

Well, ‘need’ is an interesting word to use, there. More like ‘think it’s a good idea.’ Somebody pointed out to me that it’s a place people go, but the learning curve feels fierce. I’ve been mucking about with the page for SM Stirling’s new book, on the grounds that it’s good practice.

And that’s what I’ve been doing tonight! Sorry, but getting the Kickstarter books out was a great relief to me.
