Bastard Books and other crap Blog

The almighty Bastard has deigned to interview me on his most wonderful blog. Stop by, if ya'd like.



Bastard Books!

Very good interview. As I told Bastard on Twitter, the interview encouraged me to order Dawn of War (Blood War #1) for my Kindle.

Regarding beer, it is March, correct? Right, thought so. Can somebody please tell me why I saw Sam Adams SUMMER ALE in the beer store last week? (I love the beer, but seeing it now means it will be gone by June, when they'll stock the shelves with OCTOBERFEST)

Yes, indeed, it is still March.
I don't know what the weather's been like where you are, but here in Colorado it's been the driest and 2nd warmest March on record. Summer almost feels like it's already here, and woe be to us when it finally does arrive.

@Tim, I completely understand. Being an LW is not a bad thing, in my opinion, because that just means you get to spend way less money than I do to get the same effect.

Yeah, I'm cheap and easy. Works out well.

I definitely appreciate it and hope it doesn't disappoint you when you manage to get to it.
