How do I do the "Running away screaming in terror!" Emoticon?!? :P
Freehold, Rysky, Ragadolf, This site has a lot of cool ships. Freehold, every Saturday they have "Star Wars Saturday" where they post Star Wars-related artwork. This is the site where I posted the links to the ships in the past. Can I find the good stuff, or what? Enjoy. :)That is cool. Thanks! :)
it is super cool and I thank you for it.
You too! Thanks!

Well, I was going to update my PbPs while I was stuck on this bus, but the game threads are all borked up.
Nap it is!

Or, maybe I should finish this tattered copy of Pawn of Prophecy I brought along. I haven't read the Belgariad since 1984. So far, the story hasn't held up as well as I remember. Eddings is more of a RA Salvatore than a JRR Tolkien.

I really enjoyed the original series. The sequel series, not so much. It seemed like a lot of "I only wrote this because the first time sold so well"
Once you get past the multi-novel series and get to the background stories , where the wizard and his daughter each got their own books, THOSE were interesting. (Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorceress)I enjoyed his other series, Elenium and The Tamuli, about the Knight Sparhawk. (He's called a Paladin, but hes more of a magi-Knight):)
OTOH, I finally found (another) stand in while waiting for the next Dresden Files novel to emerge!
CHarles Stross has written many books I have not read yet, but his series "The Laundry Files" is great!
Very droll, tounge-in-cheek humor, where an employee of 'The Laundry' has many misadventures revolving around Lovecraftian horror, James-bond-esque spy thrillers, Science Fiction, and Dilbert-esque office politics. His descriptions of the workplace insanity alone is worth the read.
I could describe it as; 'Dresden meets Dilbert, James Bond and Cthulhu' and I wouldn't be too far off. ;P

He designed a couple of my favorite monsters from the (OG) Fiend Folio.
Good news, Treppa!
Gonna check out Charles Stross.

I did the first one in the series, and I agree. Quite funny.
Stress does a lot of great sci-fi (as well as being the originator of the Slaadi and Gith races)
I highly recommend the Merchant Prince series. Alternate history timeline jumpers and much shenanigans. Plus he just started a whole new series based on the first 20ish years after. Good stuff.
Also, if you like well-thought out gonzo sci-fi , Accelerando is a great book.

This is really dumb, and it means basically nothing from a professional standpoint, but one of the illustrators for Pathfinder added me on DeviantArt and favorited my latest painting, and I'm way more pleased with myself than is probably warranted.

Patrick, I don't think I mentioned it: I will be in Beantown Tuesday, April 25th. It's a tight schedule, but let me know if you'll be in the city that day or on the 26th.I'll be coming in for school on the 26th. If you want I can get there a bit early and we can do lunch.
I will check my itinerary when I am back in the office on Tuesday.
Afternoon, all. What did I miss?
We are off to a family wedding today. Hope it's fun!
throw one back for me!

"Office." Pffft. We all know you're a DJ. I saw you on that commercial.

I swear the apartment upstairs is being used as a practice studio by the entire cast, crew, and company of "Riverdance."
These people make Percherons seem dainty.
So glad now that my mom yelled at me about walking heavily when I was a kid. Now I move like a f@+*ing ghost.

Arrrgh,
Now I have to add the rest of his books to my list! (Soon as I finish the laundry series) ;PGood to know that he's good with all of his series/books. That isn't always the case. ;)
I did NOT know that he originated the Sladdi and Gith. Interesting.

Didn't realize how heavily that tumor prospect was weighing on me. I've been blazing through work today, all full of energy (and billable hours, too!).
LOL, Sometimes 'NO' is GOOD to hear! :)
Glad for the good news Treppa. :)

I see I have more books to read. Yay! And boo! So many books, so little money.
I have to sell my car before making any purchases. I bought a new (2003 new!) one that should do better in the winter and have to sell my own car. It's weird owning TWO cars all by my lonesome. What a PITA. I'd rather not even have one. Where is my hoverboard? Where is my transporter? Dammit! Get cracking, people!
The hoverboard is here...it just kinda sucks. :|

Likewise. It's pretty well-protected where it is, and all the pieces have their backing done, but I'd like protection all around. Maybe after I sell my car and Michaels is having a framing sale.

The things I see called "hoverboards" don't actually hover. They're more like bad skateboards. If it don't hover, it's cheating.
Stepping disks.
A friend of mine complains that when he was a kid, "Popular Mechanics" magazine promised him his own personal helicopter by the time he was full grown. "So where is it?" he says. :-)
Urgh. So durn tired.
So today I brought the Monkeymobile up to the shop for an oil change and to have them replace my plate light ( the absolute worst light to go on a car). I figured that I would be paying $50-60 altogether and spending an hour or two.
Well, they came back and told me my brakes were about to give out. Four hours and $400 later I was on my way :/
Every time I think I'm getting ahead of the curve this kind of crap happens.
