Maybe it’s because I’m hopeful Guardians of the Galaxy evokes the old feelings of wonder that came with A New Hope. Maybe it’s the discovery of the excellent X-Wing Miniatures game. Maybe it’s just nostalgia. But whatever the cause, I have been on a sizable Star Wars kick lately, and a big part of that… Continue reading Return of the Jedi (or possibly Sith)

Ongoing Progress
I will be the first to admit that I am a work in progress. The person I am now is not the person I want to be, and I have goals I continue to work and struggle towards. The work is not always clean, and nowhere near as ordered as I would like. Change does… Continue reading Ongoing Progress
Is Social Media A Necessary Evil?
Social media, and our means of interfacing with it, continues to grow. From evolving platforms like Fourspring becoming Swarm, to applications proliferating all over phones and tablets, it feels almost like an infiltration. Lives have been changed because of social media, even damaged. It could be argued that social media does more harm than good.… Continue reading Is Social Media A Necessary Evil?
500 Words on Marvel
As I write this, San Diego Comic-Con, arguably one of the biggest gatherings of so-called ‘geeks’ or ‘nerds’ in his hemisphere, is taking place. The Marvel panel is, I believe, tomorrow, and there are likely to be announcements as to what is coming up for the studio behind The Avengers and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. I… Continue reading 500 Words on Marvel
The Tower Hums Again
I just repaired my home PC. I had to swap out my power supply with a replacement. The whole affair cost me about $80, and took less than an hour to complete. I plan to resume my gaming as soon as I post this quick blog – the Curse of Naxxramas was just released in… Continue reading The Tower Hums Again
Kaput
ka·put kəˈpoot,kä-/Submit adjective, informal broken and useless; no longer working or effective. I used to get very, very angry when things broke on me. I still do, when I run into obstinance or ignorance. But inanimate objects? Not worth the rage. I get frustrated, sure, but I try to avoid untoward displays, and posts. My… Continue reading Kaput
Blood from Sisyphus
Courtesy Floating Robes Lately, that feeling has come back. Every time I get that heavy, bulky, stinking boulder up to the top of the hill, it rolls back down on top of me. I think I’m overdue for a vacation. My family reunion starts tomorrow (and I will have posts ready, I swear!), so that… Continue reading Blood from Sisyphus
500 Words on Setbacks
Two mornings after my first trip to the gym in months, my body is still sore. In fact, my left calf muscle (the ‘gastrocnemius ‘ I believe) has a fresh pull in it. It was enough to keep me in bed for a time. So, instead, I’m packing my gym bag and I’m going after… Continue reading 500 Words on Setbacks
Rise of the Guardians (Of The Galaxy)
I know there are folks out there who try to live spoiler-free. I can’t say I blame them. Walking into a new film with fresh eyes and clean expectations is a good thing. For them, I’ll be putting most of this post behind spoiler tags. In my position, I admit to a level of concern… Continue reading Rise of the Guardians (Of The Galaxy)
Not Enough Hours
I’m still getting a handle on an adjusted schedule, juggling new ideas and initiatives, and getting my feet under me to move forward with things. The last couple months have thrown me for a loop in many ways. It isn’t anybody’s fault but my own, but it feels like I’m getting closer to where I… Continue reading Not Enough Hours
