I think the burning of Shireen is the most devastating moment in all of Game of Thrones.

15 years ago today, I received noticed that A Dance With Dragons was being shipped to my house. How many more years until I will receive similar notice of The Winds of Winter?

Continuing with my Game of Thrones rewatch, The Watchers on the Wall doesn't get the respect it deserves. What an incredible episode of television.

There's buzz on Geocities message boards that the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in New Mexico discovered a radio signal that did not originate from Earth a few hrs ago. We've heard such claims before, but this is SETI reportedly saying this.

Rewatching Game of Thrones. Dany taking the Unsullied in Season 3, episode 3 is freaking great. The reveal she is speaking High Valyrian, followed by the killing of the masters... just great stuff.

While waiting on @theshaggyshepherd.bsky.social 's proofread of Book 4 in my Galactic Civilizations series, I've been revisiting Felan's Rescue (book 1), planning to release an updated version as I'm just a better writer now and while I love that story, there are scenes I am improving.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? I think I'm going to be saved!

I'm very behind on Andor, but just finished the Ghorman arc... incredible television. This show is elite. It's so fun, watching a Star Wars show that is fresh and exploring new aspects of the Galaxy/Empire/Rebellion.

Nobody writes science fiction battles like Pierce Brown. Light Bringer is already a tour de force.

Walter White was always an asshole, so there really was no "breaking bad." It wasn't hard for him to be selfish, it was natural. The biggest difference was that with cancer he had nothing to lose and could be his selfish, arrogant self to the fullest. The show should have embraced this more.

I've been doing a game of thrones rewatch. Robert and Cersei discussing the state of things remains one of my favorite scenes in the show. It's a compete show creation (but in the books) and it's phenomenal. youtu.be/lRugga8axis?...

Finished my first draft of book 4 in my Galactic Civilizations series last night. Life really slowed down the writing process but love how it turned out. Looking forward to the process of revising so it's ready for release!

I've reached the epilogue of Across the Unending Ocean, book 4 in my Galactic Civilizations series. It's been 1.5 years since Seventh Contact was released but thrilled book 4 is getting close.

Walked into a bookstore Friday. Does anyone else miss mass market paper backs as much as me? The fantasy and science fiction second used to be overflowing with them. Now there are hardly any.

Jerald Honeycutt could do it all. It was a 4 bid conference, though the Red division champ was left out, as was Memphis the White division co-champ. Demarco Johnson was a beast for UNCC that year. Marquette became a bid thief behind Aaron Hutchins and Chris Crawford.
