Phantom Update - Podcast Tomorrow
My
gosh, I have my will to live back and I am just inspired to do
everything that I haven’t been doing for the past three weeks. Like
writing.
My illness broke
yesterday and I realized that I must have actually been sick since we
were on vacation; possibly even before that. I’ve had no interest
in doing much of anything – toys that needed reviewing were piling
up, I was admittedly lax in my preparation for and execution of our
HeroesCon trip, and I have done next to nothing to get ready for the
big Needless Things event at Odin’s Cosmic Bookshelf on July 13th.

HeroesCon 2013 - Prologue
Note:
This and Episode 4 of the podcast got delayed because I’ve been
working a lot and also because I have bronchitis. I’ve felt lousy
since we got back from vacation, but haven’t had an opportunity to
address it because I had to work four days straight. I went to the
doctor on my first day off and got diagnosed, then had one day of
rest and now I’m back to work four more twelve hour shifts. I
skipped out on Earth Station Who Wednesday night because every time I
talk I cough, so I definitely couldn’t record my own podcast. And I
really haven’t felt like editing posts, either.
Also,
Lil’ Troublemaker has tonsillitis.
I’ve been doing my best to try and help out with him and we’ve
actually gotten to spend some quality time together. Unfortunately,
the asshat doctor we took him to the first time misdiagnosed the
little guy with a virus. That means he suffered through a few days
with no treatment whatsoever. Mrs. Troublemaker really wants to go
and punch that doctor in the face.
So
my point is I’ve had concerns other than the site and the podcast.

13 Questions With JC De La Torre of Star Mage
Thanks
to my work with the ESO Network I have gotten to know a lot of really
cool and interesting people. From Bobby and the Mikes to Dr. Geek to
Gary Mitchel and Joe Crowe; my life has definitely been enriched by
all of the new connections I’ve made. All of those folks have added
a little something to my experiences and outlook and it has been one
of the most rewarding times of my life.
Two
of the people I have gotten to know a bit are Rita and Jason De la
Torre. They host a podcast together – which is just about the
sweetest thing I can think of – and are enthusiastic fans and
cosplayers. Every time I have been around them they have brought a
fun, positive energy to whatever was going on, which is why their
podcast – Transmissions From Atlantis
– works so well.
Another
project they’ve got going on is a comic book called Star
Mage.
Like many other folks they are utilizing Kickstarter to get the
project going. You can check the project out here:
I’m
not gonna lie – just the title “Star Mage” gets me excited. How
has that not been used before? It’s awesome.
Anyway, here’s Jason to tell you all about it:

Movie Review: World War Z by Beth V
You guys might have noticed that I missed a few days last week. That's because I still feel like crap and am exhausted from working too damn much. The doctor just called in a second prescription for this thing that I suspect is actually killing me and I took yesterday off of work. I don't feel like doing anything.
Luckily for me, Beth is back with her review of the controversial movie World War Z. Controversial because it has absolutely nothing to do with the book it is "based on".
