Speed linkity that really wasn’t so speedy in the end

January 31, 2020 Chris 3 Comments

D’oh! Last minute server updating killed my linkity time, so let’s see what I can get done in 15 minutes or so…

New releases: Tor.com (genre-benders, scifi, fantasy, YA SFF) and AAR (romance)
Linkity and cover snark from Smart Bitches.
Linkity and knitting linkity from kmkat.
Linkity from the Pen Addict.
I find these Middle Earth travel posters more depressing than anything…
Did you hear there’s going to be a video game called Lord of the Rings: Gollum?
In related news… 😉
And also – now there’s Desktop Goose.
A comic that will make you think.
Seems like this might be a repeat, but… “The unholy union of Catholic tumblr and math tumblr“.
Gravity is rough when you’re an astronaut readjusting.
“Failed first drafts: Louisa May Alcott“.
You go, Fate of Cthulhu tabletop game creators!
If I had to see it, you have to see it. (Not gross or anything!)
Duolingo, I have questions.

Reading Update
The Quite Nice and Fairly Accurate Good Omens Script Book by Neil Gaiman. This brand new edition has all the deleted scenes included, which previous editions did not. It’s very confusing, trying to get the right edition!

First linkity with a new blog theme

January 24, 2020 Chris 3 Comments

If you missed it Monday, things look a little different – my old theme was TOO old, so I’ve tried to stuff some of its bits into this generic WordPress template, with mixed success. (“You kids! Get off my lawn!” Oh wait, I don’t have a lawn…)

Another episode of Humans Are Weird. Speaking of which, have we done Stabby the Roomba before?

Low-res cats. (Thanks, Cheryl!)
Oh boy, does it ever have pockets!
“This sucks bring back telegrams“.
Very Canadian, eh.
Bad map projection #358. Hover cursor/long-press to read the caption.
THE BEST Untitled Goose Game joke.

Reading Update
Find Your Artistic Voice: The Essential Guide to Working Your Creative Magic by Lisa Congdon. Pretty good book about developing one’s own signature style/voice. Lots of interviews with people from a variety of creative/artistic fields.

*swishing tail vigorously* -Mayhem

Nope, she’s not lashing her tail. It’s definitely swishing. She does it A LOT. Jeanne and I tell Mayhem that she has very confusing tail language, but she doesn’t care. LOL.
