Posting here seems to have dropped completely out of my mental space in recent weeks. Most of that space is being taken up by job-hunting, which is ongoing. There's some positive-sounding stuff going on, but I'm not committing to hoping for anything until I have a contract in hand.
Meantime, let me kick off a new series of frequent posts, or try to.
Watching: Star Trek: Discovery. Season 3 has just started. I've seen the first episode twice. It's great. I can't wait for the next one. How the hell did we do this waiting a week thing, back when whole seasons didn't appear at once? Also easing my way through The Haunting of Bly Manor, but only in daylight because frankly, the kids are creepy enough without anything supernatural happening.
Reading (Recently): George Alec Effinger, When Gravity Fails; Lavie Tidhar, New Atlantis; Martin Scott, Thraxas; Yoon Ha Lee, Beyond The Dragon's Gate; Sarah Gailey, Magic for Liars; Lev Grossman, The Silver Arrow; William C. Treacy, The Seeds of Dissolution; M. John Harrison, The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again; Rory Power, Wilder Girls; Jim Butcher, Battle Ground; Emily Tesh, Silver in the Wood; Emily Tesh, Drowned Country; Juliet E. McKenna, The Green Man's Silence; Kate Elliot, Unconquerable Sun; Alex E. Harris, The Once and Future Witches.
Reading (In Progress): Kim Stanley Robinson, The Ministry for the Future; Kieron Gillen, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt; Caroline Stevermer, A College of Magics.
Reading (Up Soon): Yoon Ha Lee, Phoenix Extravagant; Frank Landis, Hot Earth Dreams.
Gaming: Playing Darha the Warlock in an ongoing D&D 5E game, set in Waterdeep, wherein we are currently engaged in trying to get the Trollskull Manor Inn up and running again. Running another 5E game in a rapidly developed homebrew setting that doesn't really have a name yet, but features demonology, necromancy, many islands, very capable women, and other elements of narrative I'm known to like a lot. So far there hasn't been time travel, unusually severe winter, deep history, immortals, or much in the way of economics, and we'll see how long I can hold off on those. OK, no time travel, this isn't a time travel-y setting. Also playing Wurm Online, and Path of Exile, in bits and pieces as time allows. PoE is good for short bursts, Wurm is more suited to when I have a full or nearly full evening.
