I have just been insanely busy with the Crown College Social Fiction Conference. What’s the Social Fiction Conference, you ask? A week ago I would’ve been thrilled to give you the canned response I’ve been giving for five months. Now, I invite you to please investigate the Social Fiction Conference Website. Its so cool it deserves the capital W.  Really, check it out.

In other, honestly blog-related news, I have finished Season 1 of Supernatural, and will hopefully be giving a review of that soon. There are quite a few things I should be reviewing, but probably not enough time to review them. Check out io9. They have the more people and theoretically more time.

That’s about all I have to say about that. Stay tuned. Live long and propser. Peace be the Journey.

Its funny how enforced absences can change one’s perspective. Since I really didn’t have anything better to do but lounge around and recover, I started thinking about the blog, where I was going with it and the direction I had started heading.

First, a new rule: all new postings will occur by 9pm PST, so that everything published on a given day is truly publsihed on that day in America, no matter what the time zone. This means that my active posting time will be from 12am to 9pm, allowing a three hour break every day for things to settle. Realistically, because my schedule operates on a 10am to 3am cycle, there wil be two periods of radio silence each day, unless I get some more writers. Which I’d love, but am not hopeful for now.

Second, I cannot let personal passion enter reviews. As soon as that happens, my effectiveness as a reviewer diminishes, and I become nothing more than another emotionally-unstable journaler who happens to be talking SciFi. With that, while I am going to leave up my previous postings, I will be starting over my reviewof the Twilight Saga come Saturday, so that adequate time has passed to allow me to write as unbiased a review as possible.

So you are not left in the lurch, tomorrow will present another “Stuff I Like” as well as a review of the Vin Diesel action-gasmic, “Babylon AD”

It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.”
C. S. Lewis
