Looking forward to writing out beats I hope to hit for this weekendās Mothership game. What happened to Private Fineberg? What horror will cause Captain Foster to snap? Are Doctor Zarkov, Arcturus and the crew trapped on the lab ship? What are Doctor Dudley sinister machinations?
Iām using this monthās Micro.Blog photo challenge to only shoot in black and white. Iām using Argentum Camera, but I might start using Provoke Camera.

Before the pandemic, I had tickets to see SWANS play in Los Angeles. Iāve been listening to them for decades and was pumped to see them. But then their concert was postponed, postponed again, and then canceled. Iām hoping things will improve enough that I can check SWANS off my concert bucket list. Think I’ll listen to some SWANS.

I sometimes wonder what my grandkid imagines Little Old Mouse and Purple Monster look like. Iāve deliberately used only the descriptors heās provided. When we began telling these stories, Purple Monster had 7 arms and 12 legs. Purple Monster has been pared down to 2 arms and legs. Purple Monster is a bull in a China shop: means well, but heās big, clumsy, and doesnāt know his strength. Little Old Mouse is precisely that, an inscrutable mouse who walks on his legs and provides love and guidance.
When my grandkid and I started telling stories together, I began with Little Old Mouse, who was inspired by the sensei mouse in Neal Stephensonās Diamond Age. Purple Monster shortly came afterward and is entirely the creation of my grandkid. Thereās a rotating cast of other characters, but Little Old Mouse and Purple Monster are the main characters. And my grandkid, of course. I take events from his day or week and incorporate them into the story. So today they made a giant snowman.
The day’s highlight was telling my grandkid another story of his adventures with Little Old Mouse and Purple Monster. Itās a story weāve been telling together for the last couple of years. Today he, Little Old Mouse, and Purple Monster built a snowman that was big as a house!
Aside from coughing up phlegm on the screen of my eReader, Iām on the mend. And I read three books over the weekend. Granted, two of those books took two years to finish.
Finished reading: Echopraxia by Peter Watts š I enjoyed Blind Sight more only due to the thrill of getting a sense of the form and flavor of the universe he was presenting. But this is still a great book, and the footnotes alone will provide me with reading material for the next couple of years.
