For about a year now, I’ve been updating this blog every day. I’ve been maintaining IT CAME FROM NETFLIX every week for around the same amount of time. I’ve held down a job, revitalized some of my hobbies, made some fantastic friendships and climbed closer to my goal of publication, bit by bit. I’m going… Continue reading At Thirty-Two

Quit Yer Bitchin'
Today’s a day where people gather around a table with their families and express thanks at good things that have happened, or continue to happen, over the past year. It’s one of those highfalutin’ “tradition” things. But lately there have been a lot less thankful people out there. They don’t seem thankful for much of… Continue reading Quit Yer Bitchin'
There Goes That Desert Bus
It’s that time again, folks. The fine Canadian comedians of Loading Ready Run have taken to the road once more. In a manner of speaking. The 4th Annual Desert Bus For Hope, I believe subtitled “A New Hope”, is underway. They’ve already been playing the world’s most boring video game for 9 hours as of… Continue reading There Goes That Desert Bus
Enough Hours
There are twenty-four hours in a day. Let’s be generous and say the average adult sleeps for 7 of those hours. You’re going to need to eat, too, so let’s allot an hour for each meal. That gives us fourteen hours to work with. Fourteen hours seems like a lot of time, doesn’t it? But… Continue reading Enough Hours
Well, this is embarassing…
Well, crap. This is my own fault. I completely forgot to set up a post for today before I left. Nor did I write any “backup” posts to toss up here in cases like this. So, instead, here’s a picture of Dame Helen Mirren with a machine gun. More on this awesomeness tomorrow, possibly.
Real Adventures & Dungeons
A lot of my friends and associates, like myself, enjoy reading, watching or experiencing media in which human beings are placed in mortal danger. We move humans from cover to cover while shooting at other living things. We watch as political scandals unfold. We read about intrepid people delving into the darkness beneath the earth.… Continue reading Real Adventures & Dungeons
We Apologize For The Inconvenience
Despite the fact that this is my day off, bugs continue to plague me. I’ve been squashing them left and right in the application I’m building at the dayjob, but now they’ve crept into other bits of my life. Yesterday’s audio, for example, does not play correctly. With the source files up at the dayjob,… Continue reading We Apologize For The Inconvenience
The Fine Art of the Catherd
I’ve been in therapy quite a bit in my adult life. You’re shocked. I can tell. One of the most effective pieces of advice I was given by a therapist involved dealing with the internal mechanisms of my brain. Specifically, the phenomenon she called “racing thoughts.” Basically, if a notion came into my head or… Continue reading The Fine Art of the Catherd
Checkered Flags Ahead
It’s important to have goals, in just about everything you do. The somewhat tricky part is that not everything will have defined goals laid out for you. The deadlines of a dayjob, the billing dates of utilities, the expiration on a gallon of milk – these give us tangible goals. Other goals aren’t usually as… Continue reading Checkered Flags Ahead
The IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Poll
I quietly introduced this feature yesterday. In case you missed it, take a look to the right of my main content area, just below the grinning face in the Classholes advert. This is an opportunity for you to participate in my weekly IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! feature without having to make a donation or call… Continue reading The IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Poll
