11-08-26 Far too long since I'd visited the Botanics. It was sunny enough to bring out a few insects but a little bit disappointing overall, with speckled woods being the only butterfly species out in numbers. I had gone mainly with the purpose of hunting hoverflies and interesting bugs, and taking close-ups of them...
I'm a sucker for lore, so this bonus entry chronicles all of the books I'm finding in Pagan: Ultima VIII. It will be updated continually until the game is finished. (Note that this entry published at the same time as "Pagan: Skull Island." Don't miss the previous one!) Adventure Quarterly, Vol. IXAn issue devoted to...
ORKO â 200X MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ORIGINS (MATTEL) Well, this year hasnât been *without* Masters of the Universe reviews, but it has been a little sparse. I had the two movie tie-in figures of two of the three figures I always buy from any given incarnation, but thatâs been it. And, that decidedly leaves me...
I really quite like the front cover design for Taiwan Travelogue. I would like it even better without the National Book Award Winner stamped on the top right but that doesnât detract too much from the overall design. Cover design is by Kimberly Glyder.

The last remaining city (at least, that anyone knows about) is ruled by a tyrant named Lady Mordea. After witnessing Mordea beheading a dissenter in the last episode, the Avatar is now taking his...
Latin silentio âin silenceâ. Where I live now (also vivide âvividly, vigorouslyâ, but thatâs a topic for another posting). Iâve had profound laryngitis (probably a concomitant of cryptosporidiosus, which Iâm otherwise holding at bay), occasionally moderating a bit so I can have actual conversations. But mostly Iâm a...
For this Prom I had a seat at the front of the stalls on the same level as the orchestra. The mostly-sandalled-and-bearded Promenaders, the season-ticket holders who stand every night immediately in front of the orchestra, were just in front of me. This was a good seat for the first performance Skyline (Concerto for...
The Tapestry of Time, Kate Heartfield (2024) âââ The historical context was good, and fun to read in the acknowledgements what was real vs inspired. Fast-moving novel but not as "deep" as I have been reading lately. Reply by email Share this post Mastodon Bluesky
