Don't be. This only fixes one wall of one room. There is another... building.

The odd shapes of things and quantities of which I had them necessitated repeated rethinking of the shelving. Fortunately the IKEA units allow for a lot of different configurations. The Batmobile shelf will be dead center behind me for podcasts. Now I just have to not anything else to it!

All that new shelving space in the new units behind my desk didn't last a week. Everything in the nine shelves below and to the right of the Batmobile is something my work appears in; the rest is "ready reference" and titles I like having nearby. One final shelf is in transit.

Saw it a dozen times on the big screen and never caught that!

There was also much conversation about Goldeneye — which I freely admit is more popular, though I think at least some of that comes from the computer game. World has some more Flemingesque moments, which usually wins with me.

You name it, it came up — even though I noted my preferences were variously motivated. (In this case, the more murky scuba scenes, the less interesting; I was also aggravated in my formative years that the legal mess surrounding the film was a MAJOR problem for the James Bond Role Playing Game.)

A couple of weeks ago I posted my peculiar realization that I most liked each Bond actor’s third film, while I least liked their fourth films. I‘m glad I only did it on Facebook because the ensuing comment-fest lasted days.

Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Petticoat Junction — Sam Drucker was on all three shows. The holiday episodes weren’t always in the syndication package, I guess.

I would absolutely count the KOTOR Handbook in that number — your ship cutaways are literally the reason we decided to build a book around them!

The other dynamic was the first week of March 2007 I had quit my day job to write full time, so my scripts got a little longer than when I was moonlighting. I'd pare that back later.

I've got notes on all the issues of KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC here: farawaypress.com/comics/starw...

Ironically, seeing what Dustin and Brian Ching were capable of led me into a bad habit that second year of the series: I jammed in about 25% more story (and characters, and species, and ships) in the summer and fall issues, which caused the title's only really bad off-schedule stretch. Mea culpa!

From her notes, I'm certain it was the outline for KOTOR #15 that led Sue Rostoni at Lucasfilm to recommend me to Del Rey to write prose — we were all that happy with it. And then you took the issue and made it even better! Forever thankful.

I would put #7 higher — that double-page splash is a stunning declaration of your arrival on the title, and it's one of the first pages we turn to whenever we show off the book at cons. But I'll vouch for #15, which is about as perfect an issue as we did on the story and art front.
