Wednesday November 5 2008 Snowfall
Hey Groovy Blue Table Fans!
As usual, we’re hard at work on many different projects. Another tremendously sculpted Nurgle Daemon Prince came out of Assembly so be on the lookout for that.
There are a lot of things going on with the studio and in life that I can’t talk about right now, but maybe down the road. Let’s just say this is one of the hardest times. I had hoped it would get better. But evidently the crap times were the good times. Turns out.
A good friend of mine is moving away. It’s so sad I can hardly think about it. But things tend to come full circle through the years.
But I got ahead of myself. I awoke this morning, not well-rested, at about 4:30am and started responding to emails and balancing the checkbook (which I do every day, usually twice a day, without fail). Then a short rest. I was re-awakened to “DaaaaaayAAAD! Kay put snow on my face!” And I was thinking, “where the hal-ibut did she get snow?”
Well, evidently from the back porch. The snow line reached the valley last night. Not even an inch, but it was quite beautiful to see that white crustification over the russet, canary, and verdant green of autumn. I shoveled the drive and brushed the snow from my faithful putt-putt.
I am very much focused on keeping projects working through, and that is going smoothly. Projects can get immediate attention. I am at your disposal. Just waiting by the phone… er or email. I still have one slot open for each of the specials I have running.
Everyone at the studio is ga-ga over the Chaos Mortals spearhead which is in process. Those models are outstanding and we would absolutely love to do more of them.
I also got a few updated spreadsheets uploaded for War Machine and Hordes:

Bow Before Your New Master
Supercongratulations to Barack Obama. I really think he was the better choice of the two main party candidates and while my political stance is diametrically opposed on most items, I think he will do a good job. I read his book cover to cover and found him to be thoughtful and reasonable. At least he gave consideration to different sides of each issue. I probably won’t write a book review for Audacity of Hope now.

And get your army painted for pity’s sake.

Sunday November 2 2008 And you have burned so very very brightly…
As usual my mind is awash with ideas. Today I just don’t have the mental energy to put a lot of it down.
Ex Nihilo
Government cannot “do” anything without first suppressing somewhere else first. Only enterprise, invention and WORK can create something for nothing. It is a law of the Universe. You can’t get something for nothing. By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat thy bread.
On Saturday I picked up a book for my wife at the library (my otherwise puritanical spouse has an odd interest in Vampire books), I snagged “Mike’s Election Guide” by Michael Moore. That was a walk on the wild side. Definitely different than my usual fare, but I think that’s a good thing. It’s too easy to stick with the comfortable stuff.
I’ll probably write a quick review on that one for kicks. A summary: government (lots of it) is good. Things work well when socialized (eg the Fire Department) in part because they are not subject to the corruption of the free market. Mr. Moore extols the virtues of socialist-type democracies like Canada.
The weather was perfect this morning: overcast, about fifty degrees, raining slightly, and a strong wind sending waves of orange-brown leaves clattering down the lane. I took a long walk, pulling my hood back and looking up to the sky.
Today was a typical Sunday. No business. I hung out with the kids tickling my shrieking sons while watching Chowder. We’re still working through Halloween candy. Tamie is burned out. Exhausted might be a better term. She stayed home and was much energized after a break from the kids and a long nap.
I had things to do this afternoon, but I’ve got to recharge for a long week. It’s going to be a sprint from the gate starting early tomorrow.
Time is a function of mortality. Because of the nagging sense of death (which is coming sooner or later) there is time measured. If my lifespan were 1000 years, I would really be taking my time, and probably enjoying myself more! With immortality or without a person to perceive it as such, there is no time. To be in Eternity is like a frame in a game like Myst.
