Thursday isn’t a particularly cursed day, but it is sacred to Thor, so I guess Christians get -1 on saves vs lightning on Thursday the 13th?

Went to the office, ate a salad thing, did a work, made up for having a leftover lunch yesterday by taking Coworker L’s unused pork curry home for dinner. Caught up a little on journalling, but not enough to make up for all the days I failed.

Read: Across the Dark Water (Richard Kadrey): A grim cyberpunk/zombie apocalypse quest novella.

Read: Black Night Parade vol 1 (Hikaru Nakamura): Hapless convenience store worker is kidnapped by the evil black Santa (the one who brings coal and switches, and takes bad kids away in a sack) to work at the North Pole with a gang of weirdos. I feel like I’m not getting the tropes and cultural references enough to appreciate it.

Read: My Stepmother & Stepsisters Aren’t Wicked vol 1 (Otsuji): Not quite 4-koma but very short pieces about a girl who thinks she’s in the Cinderella role but her stepfamily, though scary, are actually super-nice (if somewhat eccentric). It’s cute, but seeing the same twist every two pages is a bit much.

Read: Ambassador for Mars (Glynn Stewart): The doom from Chimera’s Star is playing out in roughly the expected way, but with a lot more complications.

Read: Grimwild preview (JD Maxwell): D&D with less archaic rules, explicitly intended to be the new Dungeon World. Mostly FitD, at least what’s in the preview. The magic system needs to be better defined.

Written: 137. Instead of leaping right into throwing out the second draft of the current scene and editing the first draft to give my script a workout, I skipped to the next scene to get some momentum or something. Mostly something.
