I did not have to get up earlier than usual this morning, but somehow it didn’t help that much.

Ash from alternate Friday gaming is in town and staying with Ayse and Ken, so I dragged Marith over to watch us eat pozole. Brooks showed up too, but Kelsey had no time and no geography. We talked about many geeky things, and a good time was had by all (except Jus who is still sick). Ash seems pretty swell, but I suppose we have to let her go back to New England eventually.

Reread (short): “A Tall Tail” (Charles Stross): This is one of the things we talked about.

Read (webnovel): Revenge of the Black Princess (DD Webb): The scorned and antisocial teenaged princess of the new empire has to solve problems and make friends with her family and save the day anyway, ugh. Possibly appealing to readers of the “Mage Errant” books.

Read (novel): Wizard with a Greatsword vol 2 (Amelia Crawford): Now the protagonist and her tentacle monster and her friends are pirates! Also there are machinations of the higher-leveled, but whatever. Not enough new worldbuilding.

Written (Geometry for Mutants): 157.
