The Gaming Outpost

The stress around here is incredible; I find it difficult to remember things from one hour to the next.  So it’s not surprising that I’ve failed to mention other things I have done.

Before everything started coming apart at the seams, I managed to acquire and view a copy of Terminator Salvation.  I am intrigued at what I am going to call the reverse grandfather paradox, which I will discuss when I get to it.  I have already begun (on the suggestion of a comment at The Examiner) a series attempting to summarize the timeline of the first three films in preparation for the consideration of this fourth.

I finished reading the rest of C. J. Henderson’s Teddy London series, mostly in snippets of time here and there, and enjoyed them sufficiently that I will probably continue to review the entire series, but am letting some time pass between them both because I have other projects and because I think it helps him more if the reviews are spread a bit.

I also just discovered that Tony DiGerolamo, freelance writer who has written (among other things) the novelization of the Serenity movie, has become the Philadelphia Comics Examiner at The Examiner, naming me as a referral, which is good for him and good for me (because he will get a bit of extra income from the job, and I will get a thank you payment for the referral).  I met Tony through Ubercon also (that’s where I met C. J. Henderson).  Honestly, as much as I need the money, there is something about knowing that Tony thought my referral worth his time that boosts my mood significantly.

But that mood is not going to stay elevated long if I do not attend to some of these other tasks, so I’d better hit the road.  It suddenly strikes me that I am so disoriented I have not finished the backlogged e-mail, so I’d better attend to that next and hope to get back to the forums later.
