As I don’t forsee much work being completed this weekend, let me fire off a shot before this mad weekend begins… HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Now that I got that out of my system, let me say that if I don’t dress up as War Machine this time next year, my life can be summed up as an all-around failure. Until then, we got some good stuff coming in the near future. I’m charging through Brandon Sanderson’s The Way of Kings (literally 75% done), and hope to have a review done for the coming week. I also have something major to announce on the site next week in honor of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month!), as well as some tips to get my other aspiring writers on their grind.

Good things are coming folks, so stay tuned!

p.s. – we’re also looking for a few good writers for the site, so if you’re interested, get in touch with me at shaka@paperspaceships.com

And since I actually have been using it lately (to stalk great writers), hit up the twitter account and we’ll make fun of the internets. TOGETHER.

Not exactly what I had in mind, but awesome all the same.

Hey Gang,

I know I’ve been away for a moment, to which I can blame the 3 W’s (work, weddings, and writing), but I promise I will be back. Soon. And with more material than you can shake a stick at. I just need some time to get my act together, as this has been one of the most trying (yet somehow rewarding) summers of my life. Thank goodness for great friends and family.

Speaking of thanks, I would like to give a HUGE thank you to our newest paper astronauts Christine and John for holding down the fort during my sabbatical and Allison giving her all at her new job (I’m super proud of her by the way). You guys have been nothing but troopers.

Stick around, because the best is yet to come.

It has become a rather crazy at the moment. So in order to streamline and focus we have created a new site for film. That way nerdy book stuff goes here nerdy film stuff goes there. Cineawesome! is the name of the site. Go there. Bookmark it. Spread the news.

In other news we are in the process of getting some new crew for our interstellar journey so keep an eye out as they are going to be introduced within the next couple of weeks.

As always thanks for reading and keep telling people about us!

This is a time of year when we all open new dvds, books, comics and video games. Its like a cornucopia of nerdity. I myself got the Nikkatsu Noir collection from Criterion, the entire Powerpuff girls (hey we all know you secretly like it), and all three seasons of the best canceled show on television: Arrested Development. In other words I made out like a bandit.

We here at Paper Spaceships are giving you guys a Christmas present as well: a new writer and a renewed effort to post regularly.James McCormick comes to us from the world of nerdom that is Forces of Geek. He loves all things geeky, and brings some more insight into the experiment that is this site. We are also in the process of reworking our posting schedule, and have some other ideas that I won’t divulge here until we have them ironed out. Needless to say 2010 will be a year of change (hopefully for the better) for us. As always please feel free to email, comment, twitter, or whatever else you guys want. This site is founded on the idea of community. If there are things you want to see us do, review, or comment on let us know! We’re mostly friendly.

Hopefully the new year brings happiness and blessings to you and your loved ones.

You may notice if you’ve been here before (or if your just joining us welcome) that the site is going through some changes! Please don’t mind us as we try to make the site better and inevitably crash things and break things etc.

Hopefully the changes will make everyone’s experience better and we thank you for sticking with us for the week or so that its gonna take to get everything running smoothly!
