Blame VanDemeer
Blame VanDemeer
rimworlds.com — I managed to make it to Jeff’s reading/signing at the Boston Borders last nite. The event ran about an hour and a half – which is about how long it took me to get there – not counting the time it took me to get lost and found trying to find the bookstore. City driving in ...

I’m A Prisoner Of Bad Science Fiction TV Shows
I’m A Prisoner Of Bad Science Fiction TV Shows
rimworlds.com — The Television event of the year? I think not. Highly anticipated – certainly. Highly good? Not. I managed to get through several of the “mini-sodes” that the re-do of the Prisoner (AMC TV) was chopped up into last nite and eventually fell asleep, waking up as the first ...

Prisoner Debuts Tonight
Prisoner Debuts Tonight
rimworlds.com — Hmmm. I’ll be giving my take on this tomorrow and am very interested to see how it goes tonight. As most of you know, I’m generally not in favor of do-overs (not in chess, not in checkers, not for tv and not for movies; maybe, sometimes, if I’m playing a not-serious game of ...

Not the Crud (and) the Book Collection
Not the Crud (and) the Book Collection
rimworlds.com — Turns out that my symptoms of late may be due more to Welbutrin withdrawal than they are to the flu. No one told me I needed to taper off the W – and I wasn’t needing it (quitting the cigarettes and down to between two and four a day at this point, from 1.5 packs a day – woo ...

Still Recovering
Still Recovering
rimworlds.com — I’m still taking it slow – I can’t seem to muster the energy to work at anything for more than about 30 minutes or so. Physical, mental, doesn’t matter. I get this wave of exhaustion and I’m ready to lay down and take (another) nap. Hopefully I’ll feel ... (more) Still Recovering
Move Finale
Move Finale
rimworlds.com — Finally done. It took 5 trips to the storage unit, two trips to the dump and two trips to the new apartment. Exhausted. Collapsing. Wonder if the artificial enzymes derived from the last of our clothes have done us any good or have hastened the end… (Paraphrased from JW ... (more) Move Finale
Got the Crud
Got the Crud
rimworlds.com — I don’t know exactly what I have – chills, muscle & joint aches, a persistent cough (not dry, fortunately), general malaise and extreme mental confusion (not to mention irritability that Karen will be more than happy to attest to). I suspect that it was brought on by the ... (more) Got the Crud

Why the Critics Like V
Why the Critics Like V
rimworlds.com — After writing my own brief impressions of last week’s premiere of V, I went and read some other reviews. Almost to a critic/blogger they said things like “intelligent sci fi”, rousing science fiction tale, the original was good science fiction, etc., etc. Which made me ... (more) Why the Critics Like V
Almost Comfortable
Almost Comfortable
rimworlds.com — We’re just about finished with the move. I’ve got another day of moving last minute stuff to the new apartment (three or four trips with the jeep) and a few last minute things into the storage unit. I’ve also managed to get the PC set up, presided over the re-install of ... (more) Almost Comfortable

Move Day X+2
rimworlds.com — Tuesday, the 10th. Later on this afternoon (the Odd Gods of the Galaxy permitting) I will be hooked back up to the internt. (more) Move Day X+2

rimworlds.com — It is now Monday the 9th. One day closer to internet access. See you all soon. (more) Move Day X+1
Move Day X
Move Day X
rimworlds.com — We’re mostly out of the old house and mostly into the new place. (You try cramming a 3 bedroom house into a 1 bedroom apartment, lol.) I will be without internet access until Wed, November 11th, at which point regular broadcasting will resume. (more) Move Day X
Temporarily Indisposed
rimworlds.com — We’re fully into the move this weekend – and I’ve already hurt myself, lol. I’m going to be carrying and packing and moving the office, so it is unlikely that I’ll be online until Tuesday of this coming week. (more) Temporarily Indisposed
