NEWS:

05.16.05 - Terrence Marks:

Sorry about not updating the news lately. Most of my writing time has been going into the bonus site's commentary, the APE rant you've been seeing lately. And, um...Baldur's Gate II, which I've picked up again. Not sure where all the time goes, you know. Meant to get a lot of writing done this weekend, but I wound up fixing a computer for relatives and, well, I'm not sure what else wound up happening - I multitask poorly. If I try to do two one-hour tasks at the same time, it takes me about four hours. And you know that week I took off to work on things....well, it didn't happen much. I seem to only be able to get two hours of non-job-related tasks done each day and eight hours of NJRT - total - on a weekend. I was supposed to get the code cleaned up on all these sites today...maybe some time this week Studio Foglio is having a clearance sale on Buck Godot and Girl Genius, which I heartily recommend (and yes, that's been taking up a lot of my time this weekend, too - entirely worth it) I have a bad habit of writing segments of news and not finishing them. If I don't post these, they'll be put into The File. And a lot more things go into The File than ever come out of it. I've got a whole bunch of music reviews, but they're low priority - most of what I listen to is too out-there for most of you. And it's generally not in print; definitely not available in any mainstream music store. So they're low priority, written more to entertain than to give you any ideas about what the music actually sounds like. I'm, personally, more likely to read movie reviews than actually see movies. And Roger Ebert and Mark Twain write very similarly - different subjects, but the types of humor they use, and the way they describe an object by telling you about a minor but representative point. Especially Mark Twain's early sketches (and his travelogues, which are really a collection of sketches).
