  • What are you currently reading?

    I got back to reading 'Athena's Daughters' a few weeks back. It's a short story collection of scifi stories about women, written by women. It's decent, but it's kinda dragging for me.

    I also just got my hands on the reprint of Vornheim, widely regarded as one of the most game changing d&d books ever written. I've only just scratched the surface, but if it's half as good as everybody says it is, it's gonna be wild.

    I just finished reading 'Tales of the Scarecrow.' Short at only 8 pages, it none-the-less had some phenomenal ideas in it. A solid adventure location, modular, and worth an evening of fun and player death.

  • Do you own an ebook reader?

    I'm a big fan. Much as I enjoy the feel of physically holding a book, eReaders are a game changer. I love mine. They allow authors to self publish their work and actually get it to the masses. Plus, you can usually get the eBook version a whole lot cheaper. And for folms who don't like clutter, it helps a ton. Plus the battery lofe is outta this world on my kindle.

    My only complaint is that they're fragile. I broke my screen on my first one, and I've been afraid to take my new one out of the house until I can get a case for it.

    It will never replace printed books. But it certainly makes your life easier if you're big into reading, or are an indie author.

  • Masterpieces of Anime

    Cowboy Beebop is one of the best scifi shows in history. Particularly because of the music.

    Azumanga Daioh will always have a special place in my heart though. Watching it always makew me feel good inside, until the last episode where I cry like a bitch.

  • Christmas Movies

    I downloaded the first two. Watched a few minutes of the first one. John Hughes really was a skilled writer in so many ways. He understood children in a way few adults do. A shame he was taken from us so young.

    I think I'm gonna male a day of it with my lady. Pizza, wine, and a 2-part Home Alone marathon.

  • Old-school Social Networks

    I also still have my livejournal. I even used it as recently as 2010, before I started Comma, Blank_. My old blogger blog that really got me going in the tabletop community.

    I've also got a xanga floatong around out there, I think.

    I would probably use twitter and instagram more if I had a smartphone. Smart devices seem like a prerequisite for really engaging with today's social networks. Much as I don't like smart devices, I also feel as thpugh I lack agency sometimes because I don't have one.

  • What imagery frightens you?

    If you wouldn't mind, what is scary about zombies to you?

    I used to find the whole 'walking corpse' idea pleasantly unsettling. But at this point I'm desencitized to it. I've actually spent a lot of time trying to make it scary for myself again, with no luck.

  • What attributes would you like for your lover?

    Somehow this thread escaped my notice up to now.

    We have to be able to talk. That's really paramount for me. We need to be able to have engaging conversations.

    We need to be sexually compatible. Our sexual passions need to be complimantary. She needs to be willing to experiment and try new things. She needs to respect my boundaries, and she needs to be willing to put aside judgements.

    She needs to be independant. If she expects me to spend a ton of time with her every day, it'll never work. She needs her own passions and interests. She needs to know that our relationship is not as important as our individuality.

    She needs to be supportive. She needs to be there when I need her, she needs to be reliable. I need her to care about my pursuits, and help me to achieve my goals.

    She needs to know that I don't do the standard set of relationship agreements. I'm not monogamous, and I don't make promises about 'forever.'

    It helps if she gets my sense of humor, and any hobbies we share are also a bonus.

    Of course, anything I expect of her, I also expect of myself.

  • Tales of the Altered Mind

    @Aphelion get in here.

    My drinking times have been relatively benign lately. Just a lot of frank honest, which I always aim for, but am much better at while drunk. =P

    I did smoke for the first time in a while the other day. Not much, but I did briefly hit that beautiful state where a series of tangential thoughts flow one from the other, into a kind of waking dream. A word dream, rather than visual or auditory one. I do love that. Makes me understand how some people find religious significance in marijuana.
