Sleeping Is Good, Right?
I'll have my review of Larry Correia's Spellbound tonight. I wrote it, then realized that I didn't really talk much about the book and more about the coolness factor at play in the world he created, so I scratched it and I'm starting over.
I hate when that happens. Stupid authors and their awesomenesses…
On my way to lunch. Have a date with my bed afterwards. I have to quit sleeping only 5 hours across 3 days. Apparently it's not healthy.

BCS Buster
Notice the four stars. That's all there really is, conference-wise, in the BCS. They don't talk about the ACC or Big East anymore in polite company....
So… who thinks that there's going to be an SEC vs SEC BCS title game this year?
If you think that, let me break it down for you as two why that won't happen.
Four words: PAC-12 Commissioner Larry Scott.
This man, who took the PAC-10 from near irrelevance (remember when it was USC and the PAC-9?) to possibly the second ranked conference in the...

Off Day Magic
I don't get caught often. But when I do, I act adorable. Stay adorable my friends.
Sorry about yesterday's post. Was over-analyzing something I had on my mind and it blew up into… that.
More free stuff over at Sarah Hoyt's place. Seriously, if you aren't following her FREE book yet, you really should. Here are chapters 5 & 6. Go read. FREE. Seriously.
Got (and finished) Spellbound: Book 2 of the Grimnoir Chronicles, by Larry Correia. It's pretty good, though not nearly as entertaining as his...

Karzai the… Intelligent?
My nose can smell trouble. Really. With total accuracy. Okay, so maybe it's only "mostly" accurate...
It's been… six days since my nonsensical post and, for the life of me, I can't remember what it was going to be about. Must not have been too important, right?
There's a lot going on in this world right now. I'm happy to still be a part of it, despite my disagreeing with the methodology that most people seem to be using to justify… anything, really.
I had an interesting conversation with one of ...

A Post About… Something? I Forget.
...and afterwards, I'm thinking Arby's.
I swear by the unholy fires of Mordor that I will make my Carne Tres Queso Chili this winter. It's cold, my fingers are numb from it and I really want some of my cursed chili. Mental note to self: buy a chili pot or, money allowing, a crock pot.
…just saw report on the news about how Washington, DC is now the richest area in the US. That's not good, if you really think about it. Seriously. $140K to update a Facebook page?
Anyways, I finally got around to w...

Read A Book, Read A Book!
Somehow I went 40 hours with only 45 minutes sleep and only mildly went insane (my poor coworkers…). I promise to never* do that again.
The lack of sleep I mean. The insanity was fun.
Nothing new to report (well, minus the lack of a few brain cells but eh, I won't miss them…) and nothing interesting to talk about. Maybe you should mosey on over to the Baen Free Library to read a few freebies. Yes, it's free. No, you don't need to register (though it helps it you want to participate on the...

#OccupyHell and Other Tags
It's strange. It's been over 16 months since the Colonel Kratman interview and it's still generating plenty of traffic. The only thing that is generating more is my Larry Correia interview, which blew everything away at the time and is still plenty popular. Of course, everyone else is in on the Monster Hunter secret now, and his books are finally getting the notability and popularity they deserve, but still…
Corruptor is back on sale again over at Amazon. Usual 34% off and so on. I'm still...

Boring Updates
The baby says it all.
Here is your weekly freebie, courtesy once more of the amazingly talented (and award winning!!! yes, the three !!! make it seem more important. It's statistically proven!!!) Sarah A Hoyt.
Look around on the site for the first two chapters. It's a pretty good read so far, except that I am an impatient bugger and want it all now. *sigh*
I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but I am officially on the guest list for MidSouthCon 30 this coming March...

Pain! Ow!
Daddy said no more chicken before bedtime. I think we're going to have to renegotiate our "arrangement"...
I got tore up today and, as usual, it was all my fault.
Wally (cat #2) was brawling with Casper (cat #1) in the dining room. Usually I ignore it, because A) Casper's never really hurt Wally, and B) someone's in charge, and as soon as Wally realizes that it's not him, the house will be much quieter.
Now, Casper is 25″ long at weighs in at 13 pounds. Big, lean kitty with no tail, no front...
