Not to mention the huge backlog of podcasts I listen to fairly regularly. Which I'm behind on because of the aforementioned audiobook. As it happens, I signed up for the 1 audiobook a month plan at audible.com, so I've got a lot more audiobooks in my future.
I'm also writing a novel in my free time (and if I could say more about that, I would), and proofing Key of Stars
(due back to editor May 3rd).And as it turns out, I'm also trying to teach myself Objective C, which is great fun. When I can find the time to sit down with my manual!
Time was I used to play Xbox 360, and I was up to date on all the games. No more. Not enough time. Though I suppose when the next must-have title emerges, that'll change. Starcraft II
I think. If it ever comes out . . .So like I said, I've got a lot of media to consume (and produce). Some days, such as right now when I've got a cold to drag me down, I feel burdened. Like it's just too much of a first world problem. So maybe I should give another $25 to Kiva, chuck the rest, and re-read my old copy of The Hobbit
for the 20th time. Sounding pretty good...

If you are sick comfort can often be what you need. I would say go for the Hobbit if it helps you relax and lets you take your mind off how you feel.
I also find it an odd occurrence that people feel stressed or some how pressured to keep up on media which is supposed to be a release. If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the stuff you have to read/play/listen to/watch I think you might be taking it all too seriously.
Don't chuck your X-box but do check your prerogatives if you feel the need.
I've been proofing Key of Stars, actually. Which is probably why I felt a moment of stress--It's something that needs doing. And now that I'm doing it, I'm quite enjoying it. But thanks :-)
Everyonce in a while when feeling overwhelmed by the amount of unread items in my Google Reader or podcast backlog I just purge the lot of them. Treat all online consumption of media like Twitter, read when you can ignore the rest.
Now the large pile of novels/dnd books/netflix is a plague that sticks around much longer.
Bruce will Key to Stars, and Plague of Spells for that matter, be published in an ebook format much like City of Torment was?
I've been told Key of Stars will be an ebook, and eventually Plague, too. I don't know specific timetables though; I hope it's timely of course :-)
