Things I Have Done Recently

It’s been a long week and it’s only Tuesday!  This thanks in part to the cool crazy serial project I’ve been writing behind the scenes, and to the new book, which burned past the 50k mark on Monday.  It’s different from anything I’ve written—I’m pushing into cool new territory, and beyond that I don’t want to say more.

Unfortunately that leaves me in an All Work and No Play situation in re: blogs, interesting ideas, and the having thereof.  I’m waiting for Tor.com to post my Mega Super Crazy Othello essay, which should go live sometime this week, so watch the skies—I’ll drop a link here when the time is right.

In movie news, I saw vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows on Friday, which means I may be the last person on the planet to have done so.  If I’m not, and you haven’t seen it yet, and you have ever (a) loved a vampire movie or (b) lived with roommates / flatmates / housemates / whatevermates, give this film a shot.  It’s one of those comedies where you start wondering before the opening credits roll whether you can actually stand to laugh this much for the next eighty minutes.  Rewatches shall ensue if only so I can quote it properly.  Check it out for sure if you can find a nearby showing.

Also ran in a good friend’s D&D5 game this weekend.  Right now my personal table preference is more Fate-oriented, and I want to try out Dungeon World sometime soon, time and tides and copious spare time permitting, but damn if D&D5 doesn’t feel like my childhood—like someone took AD&D2E and made it function.  Every time I sit down, I marvel that such a trick was possible.

Aside from that, I have a Vienna Teng concert tonight (which is to say, last night, since I’m writing to the grim darkness of your far future from my shining and idyllic past, or vice versa), so I’m off to skitter about my pre-show preparations.

Have a good week, everyone!
