I give you a new theme.

Otherwise, what do I have to tell?

I still work at Gearbox Software. It’s still awesome. Go buy Borderlands and all the DLCs.

My short story Netherhouse Liquidation continues to be available at A Thousand Faces.

I made these.

Cool, aren’t they?

And that’s it. It will have to be enough.

Usually I avoid memes but this one seemed fun.

First lines.

So the first lines to every story I still poke with a stick:

White Package:
Lorowski called him from a payphone.

Treatment:
You get treatment, you die.

Sundown:
Tate picked her up right in front of the house.

The Great White Hunter Gets A Massage:
Rachel Wallis noticed the man right away.

The Final Tasting:
Neil Rogers celebrated his eighty-third and final tasting on the lawn of the All-England Club under the milky blue light of a full moon.

Vanity:
Elyse presented the ice-sculpted likeness of the King on All Seasons Day.

Trifecta:
Step one is telling him to put down the gun.

Lift:
The Invisible Man died a week ago today.

Not Spain:
He was not in Spain.

Moneymaker:
I see the Strawmen duck under the yellow tape and I know they’re here to see the body.

Nine Tenths:
I hate Bob Seger.

I have strong indications that one of my short stories was accepted for publication. Don’t want to jinx it until it’s all finalized, but things are looking good.

Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance.

Why am I only now watching the Guild? I thought I lived in a geek cave, but apparently it was the low-rent cave without any high quality stalagmites or stalactites or quotes from the Guild like “I’m a HinJew”.

I was a fool.

I love that I work at a place that produces something. And not a pants something, or a shirt something, at least not in the generic sense. Games. Music. Characters. Story. Art.

Neat fun stuff.

There were sacrifices to get here, but it’s been so worth it. It reminds me why I enjoy writing, and gets me off my ass such that I actually produce something of my own.

Enough of teh blogging. I must go make my characters do something.
