Hello, good night
Just a quick, touching base post before sleep. All is progressing with the notetaking. Many creepypastas have been listened to.

Last Post, First Day of Fall!
This is the last Post for this round of A Round of Words In 80 Days. I’m still taking notes on Deathlands and Doomsday Warrior. I’m still alternating between the two books, usually a chapter of one, then a chapter of the other. It’s slow going, but not horrible. I’m getting ideas for how to approach the reviews of these books and others like The Survivalist. I’ve created an Excel file where I’m…

Sleepy Creepy Sunday, Redux
Still taking notes; still listening to creepypastas to fall asleep. Occasionally, getting some weird dreams but nothing too out there. For now, sleepy creepy time!

Wednesday Weirdness
Notetaking continues, I’m alternating chapters. Deathlands has longer chapters than Doomsday Warrior, but also has a tendency to use ten words when five would suffice, so it’s fairly easy to summarize what’s going on. Doomsday Warrior also lends itself to summarizing, thankfully. Still listening to creepypastas to fall asleep. Oddly enough, it doesn’t seem to impact my dreams. Or at least…

Sleepy Creepy Sunday
Notetaking continues on Doomsday Warrior and Deathlands – I’m alternating chapters. Both books are a lot more dense and descriptive than The Survivalist was. Which means I’m doing more summarizing. Of the three books I’m liking Deathlands the best. The worldbuilding is a lot better than the other two series. There’s a reason this is the only Nuke Opera series that has been running continuously…

One Down, Many to Go!
I finished the notetaking for Survivalist #1: Total War – which worked out to about 65 pages of notes. So, now I’m on to the next books! I started with Deathlands #1: Pilgrimage to Hell and I’ve decided to also work on the first book in the Doomsday Warrior series as well. Both of these books are a lot longer than The Survivalist – like twice the size and with smaller print, so this will take a…

Update, Real Fast
Almost done with the notes for Survivalist #1: Total War! Next up, Doomsday Warrior #1, which is way goofier but also wayyy longer. Night!

Some Tentative Plans
I’m still working on rebooting Nuke Opera 2020 (not sure if I’ll update the name to Nuke Opera 2021 or stick with the original name). I’m chugging along with the notetaking for The Survivalist – I’m on Chapter 24 of 33 – and should be done soon. I’m thinking for September and early October, I’m going to focus on research – finishing notes on The Survivalist and maybe begin work on notes for the…

Quick Post for Sunday
I’ve been taking notes on The Survivalist #1: Total War by Jerry Ahern and I’m about halfway through. So far, it’s falling very much into the “bad, but entertaining” category with some pretty good bits here and there. The set up for why World War III breaks out is nicely done, for one thing. On the other hand, some things are beyond goofy – or at least seem so on first glance (pretty sure you…

Nuke Opera Updates
I’m taking notes on Jerry Ahern’s The Survivalist #1: Total War and it’s going fairly quickly. The chapters are relatively short – though the layout is annoying. It’s one of those books where there aren’t clearly defined boundaries between chapters. Like, a chapter ends, then the new one starts immediately without a page break. I’ve also taken notes on Judith Merril’s short story, “That Only A…

Supremely Sleepy Sunday
I worked an extra long shift today and my brain is not going to function much longer. I’m gonna eat some pancakes and go home and sleep the sleep of the oh so very tired.

Wednesday Whinge
I’m tired, it’s hot, I’ve got a basic home repair job that’s vexing me and I’m not feeling at my best today. There’s nothing really wrong, beyond some personal stuff and I’ve already decided to reach out for professional help for that (nothing serious, just run of the mill anxiety and pandemic stress). I’m not ok right now, but I’m going to work on being ok. Take care of yourself, you are…

Cleaning House
Literally. We’re attempting to clean our apartment and it’s a hell of a job because things have piled up for a while. Longer than I like to admit. So, this is a quick post to let me focus on the tasks at hand. Best wishes, prayers and good vibes accepted cheerfully.

No Library, Only Zuul!
Ok, there’s no Zuul either. I’m sorry. For reasons, I ended up not going to the library today, so I didn’t do anything with spreadsheets. Instead, I got ice cream, filled up my gas tank (not with ice cream) and came home. I’m planning on going to the library tomorrow after work, since I’ve got an early shift. I’m going to try and get some ideas out of my head. I’m still trying to tweak…

Worldbuilding Wednesday, Day 3
Today was a notetaking day. I went to the library and did some research on UFOs because I’m going to be using UFO folklore in my worldbuilding, along with folklore about faeries. I’ve got some ideas for incorporating both into the history of Universe-46534. Basically, there are aliens from other planets and other realms and there is a bright and beautiful spectrum of weirdness. I’ve been…

Sunday Slowdown
I went to the library today and did some notetaking – by hand, with a pen and everything. It made a nice change from working on spreadsheets (which I did on Saturday). I did some thinking today too, worldbuilding thoughts and I’ve got ideas to write down. That’s the next step, which I’m planning on getting to Tuesday. For now, sleepy Sunday is sleepy.
