Matthew Rossi

Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.


The Queue: A Christmas Wish

Some of us don’t celebrate the holidays due to being of a different religion or not any religion. Still others have personal reasons — a lost loved one, a personal philosophical decision, a change of heart — why they don’t or can’t. For much of my life, from the time my mother died in 1990 until 2006, I didn’t celebrate. Now, I mostly do just so I don’t ruin the day for my wife.

If for any reason you don’t or can’t celebrate, I hope that you have as good a day today as is possible for you. If you do celebrate? I wish the exact same thing for you. If I could, I would make today painless and festive for everyone, no matter what. But since I can’t, let’s embark on a Queue together.


The Queue: This thorn in my side is from the tree I’ve planted

So, I’ve switched Queue days with Elizabeth Harper, so this is our last Friday Queue. Don’t worry, I’ll be taking over Wednesday as of next week. So I won’t be leaving you all. I’m sure you are sad.

I’m playing a Dark Iron Dwarf Paladin and enjoying it so far. I’m terrible at it, but that’s besides the point.

Here’s the Queue. Let’s talk about the R. That’s a joke. Not a good one, but a joke.
