Is it weird that this Honest Trailer of MEGALOPOLIS kind of makes me want to see the movie now? I originally did, but then I didn’t, and then I did again. Then I heard the reviews and the audience reaction, which just made me appreciate it as a long, involved ‘it’s my money and I can do what I like with it’ exercise on the director’s part.
Now I dunno.

This was in response to a thread about terraforming, which I will concede will be a hell of a lot harder to do than it’s usually portrayed in science fiction. But it’s not actually impossible. Speaking of impossible…
I’m getting back to normal, solely but surely. I’m at the coughing stage, and that may last for a while. It’d be great if it wasn’t too long, though. I have one heck of a wordcount debt to dig myself out from under.
10 PM, Eastern Time. You should be able to catch it above. Looking forward to it, and I’m just glad I wasn’t doing it yesterday, when I was mildly delirious. Then again, it might have been interesting to listen to. In a trainwreck sort of way.
Check out my books if you haven’t, as always.
I should have something snarky to say, here: but while I am feeling a good deal better, I’m not really back yet. Assume I came up with something witty.

Zombies never made as much sense to me as revenants do. I can buy the idea of a spirit taking control of its old body and piloting it with the, ah, detachment of the grave more than I can really believe in a shambling zombie with a hunger for brains and warm flesh. The latter just seems to require more steps, I guess.
Anyway.
I’m with @DaddyWarpig on this one. Ryan George may have delved too deep when doing the Pitch Meeting for RINGS OF POWER, although I doubt he did so greedily. I haven’t actually watched this season, and I’m probably not going to, and you can read into that whatever you like.
I’ve been meaning to read John Ringo and James Aidee’s Beyond the Ranges for a bit now, but only finally got around to it because I’m sick with a cold. It’s clearly the first book in a series about planetary colonization, with a healthy dose of mysterious precursors and the need for developing a functioning economy in the process. Started slow, but picked up. Check it out.
