It's a podcast!  It's a carcast!  It's about Star Trek!

This was done while I was trying to cook dinner...oh wait I think I smell something burning...

Anyway - promo is for Guardians, this new awesome podcast novel, whose author I met at Balticon!  More on Balticon in the latest episode.

Off to make the nommies!

Today is Nina Kimberly Day - the day that you must join the Horde or be conquered!

Christiana Ellis - who has been a guest on BL8TN a couple of times since the show started has had her novel Nina Kimberly the Merciless published today.  A copy of the free PDF is attached to this post.

But go to Amazon buy the paperback, the Kindle version, and join the Horde.

New show coming soon - before Balticon, I promise!

All Hail Nina Kimberly!

What?  Is this an actual TWO week schedule?  Don't hold your breath, but I may be back on track.  All thanks to Dan of course.

This week, Cat from Sci Fi Party Line joins me, and we go on and on about Watchmen, and well - you know where that conversation went.  We also talk about Dollhouse, which if you aren't watching, you should be.

So sit back, and cover the kiddie's ears.

Next show - I make Dan sit down and watch a movie based around classical music.  That also stars Sam Jackson, so that automatically raises the awesome factor.

Music of course is by Peanut Butter and Julie.

See you in two weeks!

This episode is a carcast, where Dan and I give our intial impressions about the movie Watchmen.  There will be more Watchmen goodness in the next episode - Cat from Sci Fi Party Line will be joining us to talk about the movie and other things that have been going on entertainment wise.

I'm posting this from a chair outside my apartment while I enjoy the first full day of spring.  Hope your spring is as lovely.

Dan and I discuss the movie Escape from New York, we talk about framing our wedding pictures, and I blame me not doing a show on World of Warcraft.  I'm looking for people to play with and I'm on the Thrall server if anyone is interested....

Music by Peanut Butter and Julie - yes it's back! 

I'll be at Balticon this year - will you?

End random show notes.  See you in a few!

Many thanks to Dan who herded the cats to get this posted!

I'm back from hiatus, but I'm still unsure what I want to do with this show.  My life is so completely different from when I started it, that I need a new direction, a new focus.

So for now - I'm just going to talk about what's going on in my life.  This was recorded Thanksgiving weekend, and Dan and I talk a little how life is after the wedding, how I'm turning into a domestic, adventures at Dave and Buster's, Lego Batman, Wii Fit, and possible geeky presents for the Quicksilver Kid.

Today, there are four days until Christmas.  If you celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, and hopefully there will be another episode of BL8TN very soon.  A little birdy told me that a portable recording solution is waiting for me under the tree....

Yes - tomorrow at 3:30pm Eastern time, Dan and I are going to be getting married.  Through the wonder of the internet, and one of our groomsmen, we are going to be streaming the wedding live through Justin.TV

The link for the feed will be :  http://www.justin.tv/otakugeneration

You will need to register for Justin.tv, but will be able to chat before the feed goes up.

Thanks to Alan for setting this up...now I'm going to go get my beauty sleep!  It's a big day tomorrow.

Better Late Than Never will be back once all the wedding craziness is finished - though the focus may change a bit for a while - I've been really getting into cooking, so I think I may want to talk about that for a bit.

Love,
MA
