Still working on Midnight Rising...

At the rate of about 800-1000 words a day. That’s my key to getting stuff done that’s causing you issues; just be sure you put at least a little time in on it this day to have some forward momentum. The two chapters are now up to 24,100 words. I’ll work on it more this weekend, at least around continuing work around the maps and battle graphics I’m making for Feathered Hearts.

Did two things this past weekend...

First, I ran 10k for the first time in two months after laying off that long to let my ankle bursitis subside, trying to allow the area to generally heal up. It appears that it worked. To my delight, there was no ankle pain after and I hadn’t even lost much stamina thanks to hitting an elliptical machine twice a week for an hour instead of jogging. My upper legs are another matter, though.

C&C chapter 40 entering prereads tonight + teaser

Much as I didn’t want to, I made the decision to break it up since the full length of the War Council meeting had exceeded 20,000 words and will probably approach 25k for the now-two chapters before all is said and done. The breakpoint itself will be between learning about the general war situation both Aricia and the Griffon Kingdom face, and then discussing what in all the Crows they’re going

Midnight Rising/C&C update: April showers may bring May flowers...

But of more interest is the emergence of 17-year cicadas in my area. Big, ugly, red-eyed insects that are the size of your thumb but basically harmless, as long as you can get past all the shed skins they leave behind on leaves and the everpresent and disconcertly loud background sound they produce as a mating call. Fortunately, the outbreak in my area seems pretty limited. There's a few around,

Suicide Squad Review · 1:08pm Aug 6th, 2016

Saw Suicide Squad last night. 7.5/10. Definitely better than Batman vs. Superman. Margo Robbie nailed the insanity, personality and badassery of Harley Quinn, whose character stole the show, and Will Smith's Deadshot wasn't far behind, as he played the role with proper nuance--an assassin for hire with a soft spot for his daughter.

The character interplay and action wasn't as good as, say, The Avengers (what could be?) but it was quite watchable and enjoyable all the same. Villains are always fun, and even the Joker had several notable scenes, played with gleeful abandon by Jared Leto.

There were a couple Batman cameos for spice, but this was all about the bad guys, and I include government agent Amanda Waller in that list. She was suitably manipulative and nasty, nearly as bad as the bad guys she recruits for her government-sanctioned superpowered strike team.

Batman vs Superman disappointed somewhat, but this did not. I believe it'll be worth a second look as well. My recommendation is to see and enjoy!

PS: Captain Boomerang's a brony!
