At the Hot Mulligan show, crowds pretty mild so far.

Sitting with my Labrador Brulee

She was always the best dog.

Last night I turned off my dishwasher because I worry that something will flood while I'm asleep. This morning my bathroom flooded while I was asleep. The universe is having a laugh at my expense.

An image of the faces of The Ancestor from Darkest Dungeon, and The Academic from Darkest Dungeon II. A torch glows between their two faces. The images reads: "Ancestor, Academic, Artist & friend. Wayne June. Twelve years ago, Tyler and I reached out to Wayne, humbly asking him to narrate our indie game’s trailer. Since those magical moments when we first paired his reading with the footage, it has been an incredible and fulfilling collaboration. Wayne’s singular baritone and masterful cadence elevated everything he read. He was a consummate professional, and his love of his craft was an inspiration. His inimitable work is woven into the very fabric of our industry in a way that cannot be forgotten. It is one of my life’s greatest honors to have written for him this past decade. Though I never got to shake his hand, I knew him to be a friend. Thank you, Wayne. -Chris Bourassa, for Tyler Sigman and the Red Hook team"

"Go with grace into the great beyond..."

We at Red Hook are heartbroken to confirm the passing of our beloved voice actor, Wayne June.

I finished 57 books last year. I could post a list but that's a lot of effort for a very small audience.

Reading Wind and Truth in a week burned me out for a couple days. I can't stop thinking about my favorite characters and how their stories wrap up.

I'm feeling a little whiplash going from the age of madness and codex alera to the storm line archive. Very different vibes.

Here is my reading list for the year so far. I am planning on 3-4 more books by the end of December. Currently reading "The Great Hunt" by Robert Jordan and I started "Wind and Truth" today.

I need to start posting my reading like I was doing on the other site. Consistency is not my strong point.

I wish more people learned about France or Russia's "Terror" eras. Pretty eye opening stufff.

Denied at checkout. So close to greatness! #windandtruth

I large percent of my free time is spent feeling embarrassed for past me.

Some goals are easier to write down than to achieve.

The score is also fantastic. It's not perfect but it has more going for it than I expected.

Where was this last year when I started reading these?

Anyway, I already finished one book, "Fool Moon" by Jim Butcher. It's been a fun series so far and I am already a few chapters into the 3rd book.

I also want to get back into playing and practice the guitar on a regular basis. I'd hate to look back in 10-20 years and see my instruments as something that I gave up on.

While my book count might be lower I do plan on filling in the gaps with more short stories and non fiction short form writing.

I am very happy I decided to hit a book a week last year though. I caught up on quite a few books that were sitting on my shelves and spent time discovering new authors and series.

New year, new reading goal. I'm going to shoot for a fewer number of books and increase my time spent on other hobbies. Thinking I might do 40 books instead of 52.

52 books finished. Honestly I'm pretty thrilled that I was able rekindle my interest in reading this year. I hope I can keep it up in the years to come. There are so many amazing books I want to experience!!!

Muppet Christmas Carol is an all time great film. I love it.

I finished reading "Traitors Blade" by Sebastien De Castell last night. I'm happy that despite my fall reading slump I'm almost finished with my goal. 51/52

That's good! The stress while you wait to find out things is awful.

I need a recommendation for this.

I hate when I join the space military at 75 and they dump my consciousness into a hot photosynthesizing cat person body and I have lots of sloppy sex with all of the other old people in their new green cat person bodies

When you're a grownup you can use Christmas cookies as sandwich bread. It's legal and no one can stop you.

Hope you're doing all right man. I know I'm not nearby but if there's anything I can do let me know!
