The major thing that’s been happening in this last week, unsurprisingly, is that I’ve been riding up a storm for the Great Cycle Challenge. As of my last ride today, I was at 129.9km completed out of 400km for the month – and I rode that in only 5 days, on three of which I worked a full time shift. I’m honestly rather surprised myself at how quickly I’ve been managing this.

On my other sites this week:

Pharmacoepia Fantastica: A handful of new drugs added this week: Essence of Terror, Sinister Sauce and Tincture of Tenderness for a total of 158 drugs now described on the site.

Reading Orders: Updated The John Wick Chronology.

Another week of mostly working on stuff that’s not yet ready and preparing for the Great Cycle Challenge.

On my other sites this week:

Pharmacoepia Fantastica: A handful of new drugs added this week: Cernadine, Euphorazine, Profillica, Teamocil and Zanotab for a new total of 155 drugs described on the site.

Reading Orders: Added The Marvel Universe 14: The Late Eighties and its attendant event reading orders: Fall of the Mutants, The Evolutionary War, Inferno and Atlantis Attacks.

These weeks, they may look slow, but that’s because I’m working on stuff that isn’t ready to go public yet. But the time will come, for each of them. And of course, getting in shape for the Great Cycle Challenge is not uncomsuming of my time 😉

On my other sites this week:

Pharmacoepia Fantastica: A bunch of new drugs added this week: Ascomycin, Beng Lie, Cuppliance, Engorgulate, Mei Kuan, NasoPRO, NasoPRO Silver and Tricetyltriparanol bring the total up to 150 drugs described on the site.

Not gonna lie, this was a slow week for me. Practicing for the Great Cycle Challenge is time consuming. But bits and pieces got done. In particular, the Kali Yuga Countdown once again ticks down to the inevitable end of all things here.

On my other sites this week:

Reading Orders: Two orders were updated with new releases, The World of the Five Gods Reading Order and John Birmingham’s Axis of Time Reading Order.

Pharmacoepia Fantastica: Only one new drug added this week, but like I said, it’s been slow going. X-Drugs is the 142nd drug to be described on the site.

This week has been a slow one, between putting the finishing touches on my game for Haven and feeling a little under the weather, this has not been an amazingly productive week. But my health and the weather both improve, so I’m optimistic of future accomplishments. As this goes out to you, I am just finishing up running my Call of Cthulhu one-shot (or I should be if all goes according to plan), so that’s another project done and dusted.

I did manage to get some stuff done this week, including adding some more drugs to the Pharmacoepia Fantastica, with 141 fictional drugs now listed on the site. The new additions are: Agony, Baccaran, Bliathol, Devilweed, Luhix, Mordayn Vapor, Mushroom Powder, Redflower Leaves, Sannish, Terran Brandy and Vodare

The big news this week is the return of the all new, updated and reformatted Annotations to Keating! The Musical, the first part of the relaunch of my main site, The Centre Cannot Hold. You can find them here.

Aside from that, not a lot to report – various things in the background are coming along, but I’ve been busy being social this week, so I got a little less visible work done. Hoping to see some of you at Haven next Sunday, and in the meantime, have a great week folks.

No big announcements this week – slow progress on various projects continued, but nothing spectacular. Just another week of reminding myself that it’s a marathon, not a sprint, and that doing something is always better than doing nothing.

On my other sites this week:

The Pharmacoepia Fantastica had some new drugs added to it: Gamedone, Millenial Tristesse, Ninetenicillan, Ridilin and Stovulax. This brings the total number of fictional drugs now listed on the site to 130.

This is the first of what I intend to become a regular feature here on the site, just a central accounting of the things I’ve been working on over the previous week.

First of all, and most obviously, I launched this site. It’s new and I don’t yet know entirely what I’m going to do with it (beyond what I’m already doing), but I’m fine with figuring that out as I go along. Aside from that, a lot of my attention has been on prepping my Call of Cthulhu game for Haven, which I am very excited about (it’s been a long time since I last wrote and ran a convention game).

On my other sites this week:

Reading Orders saw the new The Neal Asher’s Polity Universe Reading Order added to it, as well as more work behind the scenes on other upcoming features. I’m currently working on The Marvel Universe 14: The Late Eighties and its associated timelines and events, but it’s going to be a while yet before I get all that done, as I have other things with higher current priorities (like the aforementioned convention game).

Aside from the above, there’s work and life and things like that. You know how it is.
