What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

February 2, 2012 by

When people ask I generally tell them that I’ve always wanted to be a writer. That’s not really true. It wasn’t until I was about seven it first occurred to me that ‘writer’ was a profession and that I, one day, might need one of those. And to be perfectly honest, these two realisations didn’t […]

US Government Rules that Mutants Like the X-Men Are Not Human

Consciousness was a little hard to come by this morning. I was dreaming about Captain Haddock. Which is a weird thing to be dreaming about. And Japanese foot-washing rituals. And something above private school girl ties. All of which actually makes less sense now I’m awake, which is fairly impressive. So in something of a […]

My Brilliance, Let Me Show You It

January 13, 2012 by

I am lying on the floor, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about things. Deep important things. (And only a little bit about alcohol and explosions.) I just figured out that in the two weeks I took off over the new year I accidentally wrote fifteen thousand words of various things. Which makes me feel […]

Planning a Heist (Why Talking to Convicts Might Be A Better Plan)

January 11, 2012 by

So I’m planning a heist. Or at least, I think I am. And no, this isn’t a confession regarding my criminal tendencies. This is just… I think Wizards has a heist in it. So heist. Which means heist research. Which means — okay, lots of reading stuff (and wishing woefully that there was a straightforward […]

I Might Have Accidentally Sold My Soul, But That Doesn’t Mean There’s No Room to Negotiate

It is like the ninth day of the year and I am already behind. This is ridiculous. (Certain people have said that in fact I am ridiculous and that ‘behind’ is a word I have created to define my own ludicrous theories about where I should be. It’s not that I disagree per se. I […]

Strike a Blow for Decency in Movie Physics

January 2, 2012 by

0

  This website has thoughtfully invented a rating system for how seriously movies disregard the laws of physics and explains the most common and most egregious errors that movie makers perpetrate. Which is entertaining in and of itself, but the part that’s making me laugh the hardest right now is that for some reason when I […]

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Robot Needs

December 23, 2011 by

I think ‘eat robot food’ may be a simplification. Perhaps ‘oil’ and ‘charge batteries’ might be better. Then again, perhaps there’s super important robot kibble that I don’t know about.  

I Make an Excellent Deity

Danni: Christening was anti-climactic. Me: Was there crying? Sometimes there’s crying. Danni: Really? There was no crying. To be honest, I’m not sure that priesty dude knows what he’s doing. Me: Perhaps that’s where the lack of excitement comes in. Also, there usually aren’t rocket launchers. Which, you know, would liven things up. Danni: I […]

This is a Blatant Lie*

Arkem: I feel like I’m getting tireder just sitting here with you. It’s like you’re projecting your exhaustion. Me: No. It’s the other way around. I’m leeching your consciousness. Eventually it’ll all be gone and then you’ll fall asleep and so will I. Unless Paul comes in here… I may or may not have spent […]
