This was a week full of several letdowns, so hopefully my quota for those is full for a little while. This is one reason it’s so important to connect with friends who understand.

I realize this is very cheesy.

Came up with the phrase “chaos lasagna” today, not related to food but to a situation. That’s a keeper.

Of Enchantment, Enigma, and the Infinite – Stars and Sabers Of Enchantment, Enigma, and the Infinite is a magic-themed anthology featuring 31 authors of fantasy and horror, edited by Jendia Gammon, Gareth L. Powell, and Scarlett R. Algee.
