Sadly, no, this is not a post saying I’ve hit the NYT. Not exactly, anyway. There is, however, a pretty damned cool article about AmberMUSH players, myself included, who grew up to be professional writers. Jim is, of course, the lead story, but Cameron Banks, Angela Beegle, and the Evil Hat lads are name-checked as well. Pretty nifty! And a nice way to start the weekend. :) eta: Could somebody pick me up a copy of that NYT? I can’t find one over here. (Ah, for the days of yore,…

more thinks
I’d say my life isn’t as boring as these lists make it seem, but I would be lying. Oh. I went to see “Friends With Benefits” last night. It was much, much funnier than I expected it to be. Also, despite it starting at 9, for some reason I thought it was only a quarter after 10 when it got out, so I was very confused to get home and discover it was suddenly nearly midnight.

Kickstarter is a go.
Got the all-clear from Kickstarter, so I’m working on setting up the page now.

Is there any particular reason you, my good-hearted readers, feel it should be 45 instead of 30? I have to do a video. Argh. I have no video skills. My only thought is making that lack a feature of the video…
fundamental things
Being a reader, I have unsurprisingly taken a number of fundamental beliefs from the fiction I’ve read. Most of them were things encountered during my early teen years; a few, read later, clarified or distilled things I believed anyway, and hell, some of them are brand-new. I’ve been meaning to write them down for a while now. They’re things like: Sex is good. (Heinlein, ElfQuest, Judy Blume) Cajun food is delicious. (X-Men*) Americans are really, really screwed up about sex and violence. (ElfQuest) Women are not only smart, capable and…
