Wherefore art thou?

Got the cover for "The Fate of Inglemia" from the artist I commissioned. Its rather incredible. The game should be coming out on August 15th.

I'll post a link to it when it comes out so you can see the cover. Anyone who is absolutely desperate to see what has been produced thus far can ping me and I'll email them to you, just don't send it to your friends. :)

The link, of course you can send to whomever you like. :)

School goes. had a midterm on the weekend. Fairly sure I passed. Golddame55 is having trouble finding people for her project but we've had some family members help (thank you and you know who you are :) ). Now that it isn't just Teachers that makes things a lot easier.

Randy and Jamie visited last week. It was really fun. There was lots of talking about things present, past and future. No ghosts were involved in this conversation. The nieces seemed to enjoy themselves.

Juggling

This is going to be a busy week.

Golddame55 has massive school work so I'm helping her by doing everything else like chores and the like so she doesn't have to. I've also got school work myself, two papers, a discussion topic and a midterm. Inglemia is going well but I've only got 4 more weeks to finish it. I'm behind on the novel but working on it, and finally we have family visiting Tuesday night through Saturday...and Golddame55's mother is here Sunday through Tuesday. :)

I'm also working on the outline for a major project with Ken, though I won't be starting it until the other novel is finished, but I need to do the map for that and country details this month. Might be having to do daily entries there just to even approach where the schedule should be.

Saw the Dark Knight last Friday night. STUNNING! I highly recommend it for anyone over 13. Also saw Meet the Robinsons on DVD. Very good in general.

We Have Seen the Family, and They Is Us

This weekend we visited with Greg and Rachelle and Neices and Nephews and Julie and Parents. :)

And there was much rejoicing and much game playing, and much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth at accidentally saving your brother's game over your own.

Highlights of the Weekend:

*Fourth of July fireworks. Golddame55 had a bit of an asthma problem and had to leave Early. Greg had to take the youngest home a bit early due to overheating but it was generally a fun time.

*Sunday games which included Catch Phrase, Carcasone, Ingenious and Munchkin Cthulu. By far the most popular game appeared to be Munchkin Cthulu.

*Saturday night dinner at the Loop.

Other Activities and Happenings:

I enjoyed a week between classes for school. Managed to SOMEHOW get a B+ in that class, mainly from our great debate topic I think. This next class looks like even more joyful fun. :)

Working on "Fate of Inglemia." I've had a rather neat artist commissioned for it, and may post one or two peices up here or at least link to the cover when it is finished. It is probably not going to sell well, but I always wanted to have at least one project that I had at least a semi decent art budget for. Hithertonow I've generally relied on reusing someone else's art or the extreme and awesome talents of those who would give it for free. :)

Read first two Wild Cards books. Most awesome. I remember now why I like the series, but I'm not willing to 'just skip em' this time and must track down #3 at a used book store sometime this week.
