Well, I haven't updated the old journal in a while, mostly 'cause so little is happening. The only news of any importance is that A Roll of the Dice returns on the 24th with an all-new storyline and twice as many cows as ever before!

Otherwise, writing has been an odd mix. A little of this, a bit of that, and nothing very serious.

Now, for the fun part. In an extremely rare occurrence, tagged me with one of those Post 8 Facts about yourself tag thingies, and since I've already done one of those (and there's little enough to tell) I decided to do it in a slightly different form. They will still be factoids, but factoids proving why you, any of you really, are very likely much more hip than I am.

Let's go!

#1: I'm not into anime. There, I said it. Almost everyone anywhere near my age is into it, but not me. It's not that I dislike it, oh no, far from it, it's just that I don't have an interest in most of it.

#2: I don't listen to much music unless it was released prior to 1993. That's not to say what I listen to is good, or that I somehow dislike all modern music, I just prefer my 80's tunes.

#3: My idea of a good way to kill an hour if I don't feel like writing is to watch old action movie trailers. And I don't mean the big budget things, I'm talking the low-budget, direct-to-video ones.

#4: I am a comic nerd. It's true. I actually like Marvel and DC. Superheroes still awaken that old sense of justice, and of the battle between good and evil when I read them.

#5: I desperately want to get The Shadow radio plays on CD. The cassette versions just don't cut it, and I demand classic pulp radio adventure to keep my day happy.

#6: I am horrifically lazy. I almost never do things on time, and I put off doing things until the very last minute.

#7: I'm a PC gamer through and through. The newest console I own is a Playstation 1. I often spend a lot of time playing old DOS games through the use of the DOSBox rather than the latest and greatest games.

#8: I have an intense obsession with pulp fiction, especially men's action novels and smutty western series. The Executioner, The Destroyer, Longarm, The Gunsmith, Nick Carter, they're all what I adore.

And there you have it! 8 very good reasons I am not cool. Normally I guess I'm supposed to tag people, but the heck with that. Most of you have already done something like this before.
