I’ve just finished reading Soon I Will Be Invincible, by Austin Grossman. It was an enjoyable read, but it left me disappointed.

Amazon Kindle
On Monday I received my Kindle, after waiting three weeks. Yesterday I finished reading Small Favor on it, and I’m really liking it. Of course, I knew I would. And it seems they are caught up on the supply now; a coworker ordered one yesterday after I showed it to him, and his is being [...]
What? Someone’s being logical about this?
Two Harvard Psychologists are saying that boys who play no video games at all are more likely to get in trouble than boys who play some video games.
Wholly Crap
Been a while since I posted here, huh? Hmm. : / Well, an update on what I’ve been doing: I am starting work on a video game version of Stardust (you may recall that Stardust is the working title of my board game side project—or you may not), using XNA Game Studio 2.0, which I [...]
If he had black hair, he would be known as “Kvothe the Raven”
But he has red. Anyway his story is awesome. I refer, of course, to The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, which I knew months ago that I would enjoy and which I received for Christmas, and finished last night.
quickie
Saw Stardust (the movie) on Friday and it was awesome. Go see it. Still making progress on Stardust (my board game project). Much left to do, but I’m enjoying it.

to do list
Finished that book, and I enjoyed it. I’m about two thirds into the second one. I want to start on a short story soon, but I don’t know when I’ll get around to it.
movies and books
I like Shrek 3. Not as dramatic a climax as the first two, I thought, but very funny and well done. Pirates 3 I think is great. I like the fact that it has a much more complex storyline than most mainstream movies would be brave enough to put in. It was fun and funny and interesting and [...]
forgot to mention…
Just noticed that two posts down I said I started reading The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents; I wanted to say that I finished it the next day and as I suspected, it was a very fun read.
status report
Party A on FFXII (Ashe, Vaan, and Fran) are level 40 and Party B (Basch, Balthier, and Penelo) are 38. They all have every augment on the license board and everybody has all three Quickenings. Two characters have one Esper each (Vaan and Penelo), and I know the locations of two other Espers, though each handed me [...]
