And well should he scorn. Grok may have covered itself in something in this thread, but it was hardly glory. Each post in that thread is funnier than the previous one.
Wedding (not mine) weekend.
I’d have mentioned it yesterday, but we had site troubles. Anyway, my sister-in-law’s getting married this weekend. My part of it is mostly going to be hanging around while prep is going on and mucking about with my phone – this has been explicitly cleared with all and sundry, which is nice – so while posting won’t go away, it’ll be fairly erratic. Enjoy your weekend!
Worked on something today.
It might go somewhere, it might not. If it doesn’t, it’ll end up here. If it does, it’ll end up somewhere else.
Yeah, I know, this is really vague. But it’d be kind of a cool thing if it worked out, and I don’t want to jinx it by talking too specifically about it. So this is as specific as I can realistically get.
The ‘Look, we had a budget, okay?’ RED SONJA trailer.
Yeah, Alyssa, Queen of Raccoons has a point, here. RED SONJA does give off ‘budget mid-2000s made for TV movie’ vibes. …This is not necessarily a deal-breaker for me. I kind of miss B movies, honestly. I’m not saying that it won’t suck, just that I don’t want it to.
‘Walking on Broken Glass.’
I feel that – and I in no way mean this as an insult – that Annie Lennox needs her own dedicated space on the Hot/Crazy Matrix.

So, I spent forty minutes on the phone confirming a reservation tonight.
Because Google decided to eat the email confirming that my wife and I had a hotel room for the wedding we’re going to this weekend. And I mean eat it. This has been happening more and more, lately. Anyway, I had to frantically track down the phone number, get a busy signal, find the main line, navigate the computer menu, and wait on hold for a while until I could talk to the nice man in India who was able to confirm that everything was fine, and send me a new confirmation email.
…So, how was your evening?

Tweet of the Day, HOW DARE YOU CALL ME OUT LIKE THIS edition.
Working on the Fermi Resolution Worldbook adventure!
Had a body doubling session today. For those unfamiliar what happens there is that a bunch of creators hang out on a video call and actually get work done, because we’ve got each other to keep ourselves honest. It works a lot better than you’d think it would. Anyway, I got a bunch done on the Fermi Resolution Worldbook adventure:
Not seen: about eight hundred more words. Game writing isn’t like book writing, because I have to establish a situation, not a narrative. Or something like that. Anyway, it was helpful.
