Royce's Random Thoughts

1. It's approaching three weeks since I sent SotRV off to the beta readers. I was hoping for a November 1st release, but that doesn't seem likely at this point. Giving it another once over by uploading to my Kindle for a different perspective is revealing an embarrassing number of errors.

2. It was a trifle windy and wet Monday. Fortunately we never lost power or communications, so all was well.

3. The fanboys are apparently drooling over the possibilities with Disney's announcement of their acquisition of Lucasfilm and making more Star Wars films. Well I don't give a fig about that, what I want is more damned Indiana Jones movies until Harrison Ford has to voice his computer animated double because he's a wheelchair. I liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, even with the damned gophers.

Watched this on Saturday with badasher and moonshadowed. It was much better than I was hoping for.

( Which isn't to say I couldn't make fun of it. )

On a completely unrelated note, would someone please tell me there's a fanfic out there where circa late-1920's/early 30's Indy meets with Ramses Emerson? Because I don't want to write it myself, and it would be well worth reading not just for Ramses getting back into the Great Game but for Prof. Walter Emerson proceeding to verbally bitchslap Prof. Jones on his utterly appalling archaeological methodology.
