Hi friends–just a note that I’m planning to get back into the swing of blogging for 2015. Shortly after posting the previous tiny apology, I was absolutely decked by a viral respiratory infection for almost two solid weeks, leaving me effectively unable to do anything involving energy.

I don’t recommend it.

And recovery has landed me smack dab in winter holidays ((There’s a rant in ‘this country has no concept of anything besides Christmas and New Year’ but I don’t have it in me.)) and presents. ((There’s also a rant in ‘race and gender in Professor Layton OH GOD WHY’.))

It does mean I had time to read a bunch of the things I crowdfunded (Mothership, Long Hidden, and Uncanny Magazine issue 1), on my brand spanking new Kobo, as well as finish watching and raging at Dominic Sandbrook’s Tomorrow’s Worlds. ((A very odd mix of British SF 101, typical obliviousness to certain issues, and random deep dives into the more obscure.)) So stay tuned!
