Spartacus: Blood and Sand

I have very much enjoyed the series.

And really, I expected that I would like it.

It has Romans, gladiators, sword fights, politics, and a number of other elements that hit my weak spots. Bonus points for a nude Lucy Lawless.

The surprise in the series was the story. Elements were pushed forward. It had the feel of a British TV show.

The season finale was awesome. Bloody. Character dropped like flies. They helld nothing back.

I did not expect this. I thought there would be some sort of reset.

I was wrong.

My To Do List

I use livejournal a lot like a white board, a place I can list my thoughts and look at things creatively.

This has been a very good week for me. Recently, I’ve completed the following stories:

“Moonlight in Scarlet”

“Elixir of Tears”

“The Fisherman’s Wife”

“Requiem”

I’ve lost some of the story seeds I’ve been preparing over the last year. I believe I lost them when I lost my flash drive.

I’ve been searching through my notebooks and livejournal and compiled them.

Round-Up

I very much enjoyed the first of the new series of Doctor Who. Lots of allusions to Peter Pan. I approve.

I have finally succumbed to Twitter at @jasonbandrew.

Research for a Story

I am writing a story titled "Six Minutes" that is basically about a boxing match in a zero-gravity situation. I am reading about the effects of zero gravity and this might be completely insane.

This is going to be a crazy story.

WIP: The Problem We All Live With

My brain is on fire. I can't seem to stop writing. I'm enjoying it while I can.

I gave myself an hour as a reward to spend writing a Doctor Who fanfiction story.

And then I started on my Crooked Universe story. The Crooked universe is my crime/mystery universe I've been working on via my Thanes game.

The title comes from a Norman Rockwell painting that showcases the U.S. Marshals protecting black students in the south after the end of segregation.
