The 500: 126–128
126 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, wk 48: K♣️“The Three O’Clock Dragon” by John Wiswell “A dragon hiding precious treasure? Way to stereotype.” A dragon? A train? Public transportation for the disenfranchised that also has no compunctions about frying the paramilitary police force that wishes her ill? Yes to all of it, really. It’s […]

The 500: 123–125
123 ~ Movie A Haunting in Venice (2023)Directed by Kenneth Branagh; Written by Michael GreenStarring: Kenneth Branagh, Tina Fey, Kelly Reilly I’m not an Agatha Christie fan, but Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile was pretty, if anything. Additionally, I gave this movie the benefit of a doubt due to the inclusion of a spiritualism […]

120 ~ Movie The Meg (2018)Directed by Jon Turteltaub; Written by Dean Georgaris, Jon Hoeber, Erich HoeberStarring: Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson I’ve been playing streaming service tag with this film for a while now. Black Friday deals opened new avenues. The Meg is less cheesy than I expected. I’m not saying it’s a […]

The 500: 117–119
117 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, wk 46: A♠️“Ice Hearts” by Kai DelmasA seasonally appropriate piece of flash fiction. I’d say it was good timing, but around the midpoint of the year, I traded out the remaining Lovecraft stories on my DMI list for stories on my general TBR list. I was very satisfied […]

The 500: 114–116
114 ~ Ultimate Friday Lunchtime Disc, 11/17/23After not enough confirmed attendance for a few weeks, I was happy to see 10 “yeses” for player headcount. Alas*, we had gotten some rain Thursday morning and evening and the fields in Tempe don’t always drain or absorb water very well. Surprisingly, our usual field was a little […]

The 500: 111–113
111 ~ Writing Fiction Re-submission & UpdateThe newer flash piece I wrote (for a particular market) came home with a kind “nope” and was sent back out the door. I’m working on a NaNoWriMo project. I was on track as of the 15th. 112 ~ Short Story “Because the Night” by Iseult MurphyA neat little […]

The 500: 108–110
108 ~ Ultimate Fall League, 11/7/23 A Tuesday cross-over game. For the guys, attendance was good, but Maddie was sick and Kaysi hurt her back playing the week before, so us ladies were down to a still-comfortable three. This game was a rematch of the team we played in the pre-season. We beat them then […]

The 500: 105–107
105 ~ Ultimate Fall League, 11/1It was the first “cold” night of league, which means it was probably around 75F at game time, maybe a few degrees colder at the field. Attendance was good; we were down one man-matching player and one woman-matching player. We started a little rough, maybe due to the “cold,” maybe […]

The 500: 102–104
102 ~ Book The Lady and Her Monsters: A Tale of Dissections, Real-Life Dr. Frankensteins, and the Creation of Mary Shelley’s Masterpiece by Roseanne Montillo Though not very long, The Lady and Her Monsters covers a lot of ground. It presents a biography of Mary Shelley and the whole Lake Geneva gang, plus deep digressions […]

The 500: 099–101
099 ~ Ultimate Fall League, 10/25Rough night, for me at least. I’d been having a difficult week, anxiety-wise. That translated to a game where I was out of sync with the rest of my team and pretty much in the way. (Although, in retrospect, the team we played has a junky style of defense which […]
