And Blogging Live From Worldcon
Yes it's that time again....
To see what fascinating literary purchases we made click right here:
http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=cosmicdolphin&searchall=1&deepsearch=Worldcon&shelf=list&sort=stamp
(List Updated: 07-10-08)
There seem to be far fewer book dealers at the con this year.
2011 so far is Seattle Vs Reno.
I'll be voting Seattle.
Chicago announced a Worldcon bid for 2012.
Downtown Denver got hit with a Tornado Warning so we had to bail out of our room and move into a more central area of thr hotel.
Denver seems to be a pretty chill place.

Traveller Reprints
In the last few months I picked up some of the glorious 'Classic Traveller Reprints' From far Future Enterprises.
Sadly 'Classic Adventures 1-13' had passed from print, and proved elusive even used.
This has now been rectified, for far too much money :-( I'm looking forward to re-reading those when they arrive. Roleplaying Gold dust I say. :-)
I'm sure it will be interesting to see what Mongoose does with the Traveller license. I wasn't overly impressed with the physical quality of their new Runequest stuff when that turned up though.

Books (Year in Review..kinda)
I won't bore you with the book purchases, since we already did those in previous posts...but:
The first few months of the year were rather quiet bookwise. We went to Long Beach Island in NJ in the spring though, and I chugged my way through the first few 'Black Company' books by Glen Cook. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pxr5 has read a whole bunch of other Glen Cook, but she hadn't really explored this series probably on account of it being too much like 'Military Porn' ;-) It's a fun series, I'm through the first 5 books, and there are another 5 to go, which I will snack on when I'm next in the mood. It definitely fits into the category guilty pleasure :-)
For my Worldcon reading, I picked 'On 'Basilisk Station' the first 'Honor Harrington' book by David Weber, otherwise known as Hornblower in Space. Damn Good. I had to immediately purchase all remaining books and spin off novels/collections. Hey at least Worldcon was the right place to do that, I picked up the stragglers when I got home. I'm on book 10 out of 11 in the main sequence and temporarily burned out.. 1-6 were a blast, 7 was a Crawl, 8-9 were good. Book 10 is long but good so far.
I had a little burst of non-fiction reading about the Ottoman Empire, and Istanbul, as well as working my way through the biography of 19th Century Adventurer 'Capt Sir Richard Francis Burton'. Busy Guy, 200 pages to go ;-) I stockpiled a mound of non-fiction stuff to read including Teslas biography.
While visiting our friend Jared in London, I noticed his rather pristine set of 'Sax Rohmer' Fu Manchu omnibus editions. Now Sax wrote an interesting selection, of mystery/occult/thriller stuff in the early 20th century, and it's certainly of its time, but it's a blast :-)
I have just read:
The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu
The Devil Doctor
Brood of the Witch-Queen (a HP Lovecraft fave)
Tales of Secret Egypt
The Quest of the Sacred Slipper
Dope
The Green Eyes of Bast
Tales of Chinatown
The Haunting of Low Fennel
A delirious mix of Ancient Egyptian magic and seedy Opium dens in the London Limehouse district. Excellent stuff, if you can cope with some of it's anachromisms.

Music (A Year in Review)
Musically this year started with a continued re-exploration of Depeche Mode who I used to listen to in the mid 80's, and who knew they actually turned out their best album for years ('Playing the Angel'), which is what kicked off my renewed interest.
In March I finally managed to see one of my all time great bands for the first time in 15 years, 'The Sisters of Mercy'. pxr5 left half way through because the gig was sucking for her, but I was reasonably satisfied. The second half of the gig was much better, and the 2 new guitarists are pretty competent. Sadly just not goth enough ;-) Although this year I've been listening to alot more Sisters stuff than I have the last few, somewhat due to the folk at warners finally getting off their arse and remastering the albums with bonus tracks.
This is the first time their first album has been properly available on CD, since Warner Buggers used a crappy Japanese remix for the first two CD releases. They still managed to F**k up the reissue of the 3rd album ('Vision Thing') which has a mastering problem on one track (Sigh).
I can highly recommend the new remasters of the first two albums though 'First and Last and Always', and 'Floodland' which is eighties Goth cool, and had the single 'Dominion' which had the best music video ever made, see here: Dominion Video
Whoever directed that crammed a 2 hour espionage movie into 4 1/2 minutes. Godlike.
I largely continued as a diehard cruxshadows fan during 2006, they put out a rather average single 'Sophia', which managed to score a Number 7, on the billboard chart, and a Number 1 on the billboard dance chart. Well thats what diehard fans can do for you, unbelievable.
This year was also spent exploring the many albums of 'Peter Murphy', one time singer of Goth heroes Bauhaus. I picked up almost all his albums, including the glorious turkish influenced 'Dust' (Peter has lived in Istanbul for years now)...
This also led me to the best new musical discovery of 2006, 'Mercan Dede' who plays a mix of traditional Turkish music and electronica, which totally rocks. I bought every album I could get my hands on and haven't been dissapointed yet.
I managed a once in a blue moon trip to 'Resurrection Records' in Camden, where I proceeded to load up with several compilations of 'Bombastic Euro Goth', and some missing albums by 'The Shroud', 'Gothic Sex', 'Suspiria' and other quality? Goth acts from the mid 90's. That followed on from a trip to 'Digital Ferret' in Philly earlier in the year. I made it to the best two goth record stores on the planet in the same year...go me.
Of course the year wouldn't be complete without a few 'Hawkwind' gigs, we managed a couple :-) Maybe some more next year..
The year finished with the final destruction of 'Tower Records' which sailed into bankruptcy, and led to me spending far too much on music, and finally running out of space on the IPOD :-(

Current Music: None ;-)

Tower
Tower Records is finally dead, all their stores are being liquidated including Chicago..
Beginning with a 10% sale on everything, gradually increasing the discount until the store is empty...
It's been a long time since Tower was a good music store....but I lament it's loss anyway...the last music store in the South Loop bites the dust...following the Demise of 'Crows Nest' and 'Rock Records'

Homesickliness
I have to admit to a mild bout of homesickness in the last few days. Not even homesickness for where I used to live (although obviously I do miss family and friends).
Right now I'd like to spend a few days down in Cornwall in the southwest of England where I got married to pxr5, and where I spent multiple summers in between age 0 (1970) and the early 21st century, running round in sand dunes, and chilling out in the great surf community down there, watching the surf competitions (I think one year I spent most of my 6 weeks of vacation down on the North coast there)
No matter how many places I've been to, or travelled to, Cornwall is still the one that brings me back. It feels totally different to anywhere else.
Right now it's out of season, cool sea breezes, and not too many people...just fabulous.
Looks kind of miserable and flat right now ;-) Live Webcam - Fistral Beach, Newquay, Cornwall So quite appropriate!
pxr5 is a rock for putting up with me being a miserable old git this week :-)
On a weirder note surfing does happen on Lake Michigan....who knew: Great Lakes Surfing

My heads spinning with tech specs, I'm trying to figure out what spec of machine to build/buy in the New Year (largely for gaming)
This will be part christmas present (frompxr5) and part paid for from bookstore earnings, I figure maybe about $1500 total cost at the end of the day.
Anyone got any suggestions for specs for that price. I don't need a monitor for now, just a base unit.
I think I'm probably pitching for an Athlon 64 3800+ (or the Pentium Equiv)
At Least 2 GB of Ram...
