[edit] Naughty Mantras

I don't like it, but occasionally I am forced to time travel.

As of right now, the world officially has too many commercials featuring anthropomorphic mucus.

[edit] Done

  • The Butterfly Kid. It's my first article, and it's about... a psychedelic science fiction novel. Oh, lordy.
  • Added infoboxes with first-edition covers to all novels written by Kurt Vonnegut. Maybe someday I'll go back and do this for his other published works, as well.
  • Added infoboxes with first-edition covers to all novels written by Tom Robbins. Made a little template for the bottom of the pages, too. What's weird is that I don't even like Robbins all that much...
  • Added infoboxes (with first edition cover art, when possible) to all Hugo Award-winning novels, and to those novels that were nominated for the award (if an article for the book already existed). Man, that took forever... an interesting way to get an education on the history of science fiction since 1953, though. Is it just me, or did everyone forget how to write an interesting sci-fi novel between 1980 and 2000? And why has the quality of sci-fi cover art been in a steady decline since 1975?
  • Added infoboxes to all existing articles that won or were nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel. That went a lot quicker... quite a bit of overlap with the Hugo, not to mention all the redlinks...
  • Added infoboxes with first edition cover art to all existing articles for novels by Philip K. Dick. This included infoboxes for three books that were never published... obviously no first edition artwork there.


[edit] Doing

  • No big projects at the moment, got a stressful semester coming up...


[edit] To do:

  • Zoar Valley. I can't believe there isn't an article on this place. It's so Notable, it hurts.
  • Get off this surprisingly addictive site and spend a little more time reading.


[edit] Like a tiny, landlocked beach

When I was very young, my parents took away my Sandbox on account of me constantly flinging sand at the house.
