The Space Between Us

Third try at this entry. There's something stirring in the ether.

Mecha & Manga is a good read. I don't know how much use I'd get out of it in a potential Mutants & Masterminds game, though.

Likewise, I'm really enjoying reading Rogue Trader. It's more appealing to me than Dark Heresy - I like the focus on exploration and exploitation.

My contributor's copy of Spycraft Declassified: Odd Jobs was waiting for me when I got back to the office Tuesday morning. One of the collected articles in that volume included an expert class I'd forgotten about - it's potentially plenty useful for my JEI game.

Looking at a significant sell-off of my gaming collection. Stuff I've had for years with minimal use and little chance of using it in the future, things that just don't capture my imagination anymore.

Still dealing with the higher degree itch. No way I'm going to shoot for the Masters or PhD in English. That ship ... well, it didn't so much sail as was scrapped before even being commissioned. I'm about to a point that I'm willing to take advantage of parental guilt to help pay for such a project.

The weekend looms. Won't be as eventful as last weekend, but hopefully I'll find some fun to get into.

Higher degree = breaking out of employment stagnation.

Just sayin'.

Depends on the higher degree... But if wits and selectivity (and a professional program - not academic) are applied, then yes. :)

Sometimes a 2nd lower degree is more profitable (and better for the sanity).

It's definitely going to be a professional program. If it was '97, yeah, gap year's over, I'm heading for that lit PhD. For better and for worse, it's 2009.

I'm coming up on ten years at that place. *screams*

If you have time or inclination to drive to Knoxville, you might try this place for selling your books. Less hassle than Amazon, and you might make a bit more money for it.

I'd recommend Mr. K's in Johnson City - they pay better in cash - but that's a bit farther drive unless you have need to be down that way.

I've been to a McKay's in Chattanooga, and it's plenty impressive. I think Noble Knight's my best option, though - they pay shipping, and the offer was quite good.

I think Rogue Trader was always the most interesting in concept, I'm glad they seem to carry it out well.
