Tron: Uprising
I've been a fan of Tron since I saw it in the theater as a kid in 1982. Besides the novelty of life and death inside the computer, the look of the environment alone blew me away and sparked my imagination. I was never able to play Tron 2.0, but it was cool enough for me that the franchise still lived. Then Tron: Legacy comes out in 2010 and it's like I'm 10 years old all over again: the music (!), the visuals, the promise of yet another sequel—all to the good!
No third movie yet, but a prequel to the sequel has provided just the right combination of backlit goodness. I'd been putting off watching Tron: Uprising because I didn't want to jinx it or get my hopes up, but so far, I'm really enjoying it. The voice talent and animation (amazing atmosphere!) are excellent. The stories, for the most part, have been good, too. Hard to cram a perfect product into twenty-some odd minutes, but I'm liking it so far. It's a shame that the series wasn't renewed, but maybe that third movie will be forthcoming.
Tron lives!

Hmm...
In addition to life not being a constant vacation here in Hawaii when you're a resident, it really sucks to be burglarized.
Oh well. At least we're all safe. It could have been a lot worse.

Approaching Infinity: Book Four
64,200 words
Still trucking (in the slow lane)! My plan was and is to have this book finished and out before year's end, but you know how logistics can sometimes thwart you, and by you I mean me.
Fight the power!

The Path to Loss: Progress Report 7
Approaching Infinity: Book Four
59,700 words
There have been some adjustments; maintaining my previous schedule is no longer possible, but book four moves forward and I am committed to finishing it this year.
I wish I had more interesting things to report for this go (and more regularly) but time is elusive and I usually find my self-discipline failing me at the end of the day. I'm trying to change that. I'm now trying to write at least a little every night after putting my daughter to bed. Before, I was waiting to write on the weekends, but that, for various reasons, proved to be fruitless and so disappointing. For the last couple of days, though, I've managed to get to my desk and spit out at least a few hundred words before getting to bed with enough sleep to be able to function at work the next day. Routines are good until they aren't. Some are forever. Let's hope this one sticks.
