I'll be brief, for fear of repeating myself, but today is the last day of regular HeroPress publishing for the summer. HeroPress is not closing down or going away. Some articles will continue to pop up like clockwork (tomorrow's Geek Pin-Up being a good example) and I might read or see something that I think is worth sharing.
I'm just taking a break to catch up on things, such as:
- Cleaning and organising the gamesroom and Shedward;
- Making a dent in my reading list (I had already planned a super-summer of superhero novel reading - see picture above - before the relaunch of Villains & Vigilantes was announced. I'm taking this as a sign);
- Finally get round to sorting out (and slimming down) my DVD collection (after two years in the house there's really no excuse for it to still be so disorganised);
- Start serious work on my 'great novel' (I have a basic idea - actually for a trilogy - but I need to put some effort into it to see if it has legs);
- Put some work into my latest great idea for the 'ultimate' roleplaying game campaign (which is currently leaning strongly towards some old school Villains & Vigilantes magic)
Good luck Amigo!
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteOk, yes.
Have a good one :)
Have a good break, and we look forward to your return in the Autumn!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great comments. Helps to convince me I'm doing the right thing - and you're not all going to abandon me while I'm away ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's why you're on Follow. So that I don't miss the return.
ReplyDeleteNote that I will do ALL those things without slowing down the blog, but that's because I'M ON A MONTH'S VACATION STARTING TOMORROW!!! BOO-YA!!!!
(I guess I can't wait.)
Technically my life is one long vacation these days ;-) which is why I need the discipline to focus on things other than the blog for a while :D Of course, it's only been a day so far...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday, Siskoid, drink deeply of the cup of geek :D
Your comment about catching up on DVDs made me check how many of my 800 films and show boxed sets remain on the unwatched shelf. Answer: 142. Many of them full seasons of television shows.
ReplyDeleteGulp.
I haven't even dared count - but I have the same situation with multiple seasons of unwatched TV mixed in with a random assortment of movies.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have quite as many as you, but part of my problem is that I've run out of room, DVDs are starting to pile up on the staircase and fill the drawer under the DVD player.
I've got lots of shelves. DVDs and books probably account for 15 bookcases in the appartment. I'm big on media in general.
ReplyDeleteI have to spend my money SOMEwhere.
I'm only allowed shelves in the gamesroom (and some of the shelves around the TV and sound system in the lounge) and I pretty much filled them all within hours of moving in to the house - now it's a constant cycle of purging and restocking (as floorspace gradually disappears to overspill).
ReplyDeleteAnd even this I can only really afford through the generosity of my hard-working wife and what I can scrape together from eBay... but nothing goes to waste ;)
Yes, I'm not tied down. I also don't own a car which means MUCHO SAVINGS!
ReplyDeleteFor me, any flat surface is a shelf.
ReplyDeleteHave a great summer! I hope you get some V&V gaming in! I've been thinking of starting up a V&V campaign as well... maybe sometime this summer.
Cheers,
Tim
