Reply To: [unofficial weekender] Planning ahead

Pledge: Finish up some Crooked Dice pulp minis that have been languishing in a state of “in progress” for several weeks now.

Playlist: in the mail today I received a neat little (actually pretty big) ‘zine called 1986 — it’s a sort of scrapbook collection of advertisements and news clippings related to the US comic book industry, all from 1986. Inspired by that, I’m listening to albums from my music library that came out in 1986. I have a pretty wide taste when it comes to music, so it’s everything from Beastie Boys’ License to Ill (admittedly not their best work), to Love and Rockets’ Express to Skinny Puppy’s Mind: the Perpetual Intercourse. Normally I listen to audiobooks or Big Finish Doctor Who stories while I do hobby stuff.

Questions: I don’t plan projects out per se, but I frequently have to order stuff for overseas delivery since I’m in the US, so that can require a bit of planning, or at least patience. Miniatures games aren’t all that popular here in the States so there aren’t really events for any of the games I play. Similarly, most of the games I’m buying stuff for aren’t terribly expensive, so I don’t really need to “save up” (although I have started playing Shatterpoint which is pretty pricy). My miniatures purchasing tends to be spur of the moment, impulse buys rather than anything that’s been planned for.
