Random Thought - Hugos
Marko Kloos and Annie Bellet have both pulled their Hugo-nominated work from contention. I had read the Kloos before this mess - I enjoyed it but it didn't wow me enough for a nomination - and I have never heard of Annie Bellet. In any event, I'm sad that the two of them got caught up in this shit-storm. Sad enough that I ordered one of Bellet's books.
Random Thought - Social
After a few weeks of non-attendance, my usual group of triva-players made it out to Shanahan's for trivia night. We took first place, despite me blowing a 10-point answer. We also got lucky - several of our guesses (including a Simpsons-related question) proved right.
Random Thought - Grills
I'll be buying a new grill this weekend. Unless the Weber goes on sale or otherwise convinces me that it's $100 better, I'll be getting a Char-Broil. My inner cheapskate is winning out.
