I finished reading the following books in June, 2015. After rediscovering Wilbur Smith last month I followed up with a few more. I also found out how easy it is to order books from the UofA library system (from all over the state) and have them delivered to MatSu College (7 minutes from the house) so I started in on … Read More
The Great Wordini
A few weeks ago I thought I needed to work on a game using Unity so I’d get up to speed faster and came up with an idea I hadn’t seen before — an endless runner crossed with a word game. While the gameplay has changed a bit since that first idea, Wordini (working title) still has that theme — … Read More
May 2015 Reading List
I finished reading the following books in May, 2015. School was over by the first couple days of the month and I think I went on kind of a reading binge to celebrate. The Hard Luck Hank books were a fun(ny) sci-fi series and Birds of Prey reminded me why everybody in my family inhaled Wilbur Smith books as we … Read More
Still Not Performing *sigh*
For some reason, time has NOT stood still the way it ought, and here we are five years after that “This time I mean it!” post. And no, I still haven’t done any performing. I *have* made notes on possible stuff to do, but if that’s all I have to show for five years, something’s wrong. I hate to say … Read More
April 2015 Reading List
Here are the books I finished reading in April, 2015. While I was sick most of April, I vegged out on Netflix more than books, so it was a light month. I’m still really enjoying the Privateer Tales — they bring back memories of discovering Robert Heinlein when I was a kid. Fear the Survivors (Fear Saga 2) by Stephen … Read More
March Reading List
Here are the books I finished reading in March, 2015. I forgot to post this earlier, so I’ll wait a few days and then post the April list. I really recommend the ones by Robin Hobbs if you like fantasy, although Mariella likes fantasy and couldn’t get into them, so I’m not sure what’s wrong with her. Actually, I started … Read More
My First Car Wreck
Early this morning, at 1:42 AM, our Buick was totaled when a kid rear-ended us on the Parks Highway in Wasilla. Zero warning! We were driving and chatting about Wanda and Sue’s trip to Seattle (I’d just picked them up at the airport and we were headed to drop Sue at her place) when BAM! I found myself looking at … Read More
February Reading List
Following are the books I finished reading in February. The last couple days of February and the first couple days of March had me trying to finish what should have been a good book (tons of 5-star reviews on Amazon). I finally quit at just over halfway through and put my first “nastygram” type review on Amazon. March looks like … Read More
