We got viewer mail from Miss Nicole! All three of us got a separate package for this particular mail call, and there’s tons of fun enclosed. Frozen QPoskets and a Nendoroid for Adrianna, a tricky Friday the 13th mug for Jason, and a Harley Quinn QPosket for me! Take a look and let us know in the comment section which items you like and whether you have any of them yourself!
Thank you again Nicole!
River sent us a massive mail haul! These two boxes were stuffed with awesome stuff for the whole Tobin family, and we can’t thank River enough. There was horror, cuteness, sci-fi, and classic literature…clearly our tastes are rather eclectic, but River has them down for sure. lol
Check out the unboxing video and let us know in the comment section what your favorite item was!
Geeks be aware! If a subscription box shows up to your door and it feels heavier than usual: you just got a new mug.
I joke, of course, but it’s happened so often now that I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case 9 times out of 10.
With that said, we’ve got September’s My Geek Box today and it features some pretty cool items from Batman, Star Wars, and The Last of Us, plus a really neat shirt design. Give the video a watch and let us know what your favorite item is! Pus if you’re interested in checking out My Geek Box for yourself, we have a coupon code for UK subscribers as well as a discount link for US subscribers down in the description box. Check it out!
Week 38 was one of those ups-and-downs kinds of weeks. As far as this post and my plans/goals are concerned it wasn’t a bad week at all. But when it comes to emotional well-being, there were definitely some rough moments. I’m currently experiencing a significant amount of stress as the result of a wave of “okay life, give me a break already” moments. I’m not going to get into that, because it’s mostly stuff that’s either personal or is “wait it out” more than “I can do something about this”. I just wanted to bring it up because, logically, the stress affects my productivity.
That said, as I already mentioned it was actually a decent week, so let’s bounce into it and see what I managed to accomplish.
Plan #1: Focus more on Writing.
First and foremost we have the writing situation, as always. My productivity tanked at the end of the week, mainly because we attended CaperCon (which I’ll mention later), which basically destroyed the weekend. I did, however, do well in the first few days of the week, so let’s look at that.
In other related news, some of you may have heard about how CreateSpace is more-or-less shutting down. I’ve been asked if this affects me and my books, and the answer is that it doesn’t hurt me, but the jury is out on whether it will affect me in any particular way. Basically, while CreateSpace will no longer exist (as such), my books will still be available on Amazon because Kindle is taking up the mantel of hosting both the ebook and paperback versions of the self-published books that were on CreateSpace. That means that from the purchaser/reader’s perspective, nothing has changed. From the author perspective I’ll obviously have to learn how this new system works when it comes time to publish something new, but that might be the only thing I have to deal with. Then again, there could be other issues that come up in the future, but I’ll just have to wait and see what happens. For now the main, most important thing is that my books are still readily available for purchase.
Plan #2: Focus more on YouTube.
Oh thank goodness, we actually got a little bit done last week. Someone shoot off some fireworks; we deserve it! lol
#3: Focus more on myself.
I had good days and bad days with this one throughout the week, which is pretty par for the course. Obviously the continually-mentioned CaperCon stole a ton of time away from me and my ability to sneak off, but I still managed to get a bit of awesomeness in.
Okay, so obviously I got in some reading. lol Jason and I have also started picking through some spooky stories for the countdown to Halloween, which is always fun. We watched The Gorgon last night, and I’m thinking about writing a review on it for TraceysBasement.com.
Lastly, we have the “playing” bit, and though it’s only been a moment here and there, I can tell you that I’ve been picking up Dead Nation on my PSVita whenever I get the chance. Mowing down hoards of zombies just never gets old. Plus I’m working on trying to pick up the last few trophies that I never managed to grab when I first started playing the game.
So that was week 38! I hardly think that it was the best week ever or anything, but given all that I’ve been putting up with lately (both externally and emotionally) I will wholeheartedly say that I did pretty well. Things are getting done, even if it sometimes feels like the slowest slog of all time, and I’ve got a renewed desire to keep pressing forward this Monday. Here’s hoping that sticks around longer than the end of the day! Wish me luck!
How was your week? Were you able to accomplish anything? Do anything fun? Make any progress toward your own goals? Feel free to share!
