\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love Spring, and yet, Spring hasn’t quite sprung here — it did, and then it didn’t, and now it’s cold and gray and rainy. Which is normal, one supposes.<\/p>\n

Just the same: gimme dat sweet sweet sunshine.<\/p>\n

And since I don’t have flowers blooming all over, yet, I figured today’s macro would be best if it were a flower. SO HERE, INTERNET. I GOT YOU A FLOWER.<\/p>\n

TAKE A GOOD LONG SNIFF.<\/p>\n

IT’S FULL OF ANTHRAX AND BEES HA HA HA HA<\/p>\n

okay no.<\/p>\n

Let’s see. Do I have any updates?<\/p>\n

You saw that\u00a0Hyperion<\/strong> came out, and\u00a0surely<\/em> you went out and checked it out, right? I mean, it’s got carnival freaks and a clown who barfs bees and a tractor-trailer and — well, c’mon.<\/p>\n

Also,\u00a0The Force Awakens’\u00a0<\/strong>first issue now has a cover by Esad Ribic:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So, check that out. Comic should be fun.<\/p>\n

Um, what else?<\/p>\n

I’m no longer feeling quite like death. This pulled muscle from coughing SUCKS MIGHTILY, but the cough is diminished so hopefully the muscle will untangle itself and calm down. This time my go-’round with pneumonia only lasted\u00a0two<\/em> weeks before I felt fairly normal. Last time was a whole month, so this is better (though having the flu along for the ride\u00a0and<\/em> a flu-sick wife and pre-schooler was, um, not ideal).<\/p>\n

You know\u00a0Invasive<\/strong> — out in August — is totally preorderable<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, yeah? Since folks ask, I’ll say that\u00a0Invasive<\/strong> is\u00a0not<\/em> a sequel to\u00a0Zer0es<\/strong> — and yet, it takes place in the same universe, and it takes place\u00a0after<\/em> the events of\u00a0Zer0es<\/strong> have occurred. One does not need to read one book to understand the other, but they have some light connections. (Connections that will only deepen as other books are revealed, but on that,\u00a0I can say no more<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

I think that’s it.<\/p>\n

Go forth and punch Monday in the teeth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
