Reading: I am still making my way through Diaspora. I hope to set up a blog post where me and a few buddies make up a cluster in public.
Inspired by the hard sci-fi RPG, I’m reading my first novel in the Culture series by Ian M. Banks, Use of Weapons. It is splendid, really neat stuff.
Planning: Off to see the ladyfriend this weekend, barring flat tires and catastrophe.
Wearing: Button down short sleeves and jeans.
Writing: Banged on a paper that should have taken me a few hours and just ended up taking a whole lot longer. Some day I’ll start writing early.
And you?
Githyanki Diaspora 
Reading: ‘Pickets and Dead Men, Seasons on Rainier’ by Bree Loewen. Basically the author recollecting her experiences as one of the few female Climbing Rangers on the mountain.
While I keep my own outdoor activities to short hikes for geocaching, I find I really like reading about mountain climbing and all things associated with it. Huh.
Planning: Ghost/Echo via Skype tonight. Season Finale of Sanduski’s Rock (PTA) on Sunday, after which we’ll be statting up our cluster for the upcoming Diaspora game and batting around campaign ideas.
Wearing: Office casual/travel casual microfiber stuff, as usual.
Creating: Finished my first cord-bound book last week and mailed off to a friend. Sketching every day, despite being creatively frustrated. May do some mixed-media stuff this weekend to get inspired.
Y’know, something about playing a sci-fi game over skype just appeals to me. Something about using technology to make up worlds about technology.
Hm.
Definitely a lot of tech involved, as we’re using Etherpad and an online dice roller as well. Even using webcams it’s not *quite* tabletop, but it’s close.
Reading: Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware by M.T. Anderson
Planning: Going to see The Damage Done and Danger Death Ray at The Morgue tonight!
Wearing: Green cargo pants, my The Riot Before bear-holding-a-shark t-shirt, new brown earth shoes.
Creating: Finishing up the last few touches on the first episode of my podcast.
Oooh, what is the podcast about?
Jasper Dash looks like good fun!
Reading: Monster Manual II
Planning: Making notes for my D&D campaign, somewhat inspired by your MoBu City stuff
Wearing: blue short-sleeve shirt and black dress pants
Editing: Editing the first playtest draft of Jason Roberts’ newest game. You play a member of an interstellar peacekeeping force, armed with cosmic might, sent on dangerous missions. You must choose between serving your superiors, your homeworld, or yourself.
Nice, let me know how your MoBu City turns out.
Roberts’ game sounds like a fun Green Lantern riff. What else has he designed?
A little thing called FVLMINATA, that game that is Rome with guns! He’s also the reason I know about these crazy games in the first place.
Goootcha. I didn’t link the name with the game. Understood. Cool to hear that he is still at it.
Reading: Northanger Abbey. Working my way through a couple gothic novels.
Will also read the final three 100 Bullets trades in a go this weekend. I adore the art but lost track of the plot a while back or I would have gotten to this earlier.
Planning: Mike Birbiglia tomorrow night! Then the same as Colin on Sunday.
Wearing: What’s this all about? An East German army shirt and jeans in any case.
Writing/Creating: 3 paragon-level encounters for 4E, all with a Greek mythology theme: Chimeras, Harpies + a Cyclops, and Medusas + Snaketongue’d Cultists.
Oh man, 100 Bullets is ending. I’d like to read the end of that one. Neat.
Mike Birbiglia? Who is that?
One of my favorite comedians.

Thanks, I will take a peak at it later.
