Around 2:30 this morning, local time, three dickless wonders tried to steal our car. Although they did a few grand worth of damage, thanks to our neighbors making a ruckus, they got scared and ran off without getting our car. We do have wonderful neighbors. And, as much as this is a giant pain in the ass, no one was injured, no one died, and my wife and I have each other and a community of friends who are here to support us. We’ll be fine. Irked, to be sure, but fine.
Two weeks ago, I promised you a new theme song for The Brittle Riders. I know that some of you have been waiting in breathless anticipation while others were like, “What evs.” No matter where you fall, this has been worth the wait. When I was interviewed for Books and Brews, Laura Vosika, the co-host, said she wanted to create a theme song for The Brittle Riders. And, by God, that’s what she did.
With the help of her trusty AI, I believe its name is Larry, she fed all my dystopian info into the cosmos, and it spit back a …… drum roll please ….. Celtic Drinking Song. I poop you not, my peeps. CLICK HERE, crank up the volume, and bust out a cold one. This is the second most fun you can have with your clothes on.
The Books and Brews interview should go live soon and I will share it when it does. Until then, they have posted a short collection of salacious outtakes. Well, not that salacious. Just enough to titillate your whimsy bone.
In other fun news, the server I use for these newsletters went through a minor upgrade and, suddenly, there was a hole in the internet where a McSciFi related website was supposed to be. Since the Google will do the Google stuff and could say unpleasant things about my heritage if it was denied a web page to scan, the crack IT team here at Oficina McSciFi leaped into action, sprained a muscle or two, and cranked out a wonderful new webpage you can use as a convenient bookmark for all things McSciFi. Think of it as a useful collection of bullet points.
I think that’s enough excitement for one day. Please share the links for the song and the website, it’ll mean a lot to my wife. Especially with our three-year anniversary coming up. Until next time, stay safe and sane.
