48 Hour Hiatus
It’s been a long, long year. I’ve maintained a schedule for most of that year, with posts every day and Netflix every Friday. I want to move the thing forward to its next logical step, but that requires time and energy. Most of the last couple weeks, I haven’t had the time. Today? I just… Continue reading 48 Hour Hiatus
Meaty Goodness
It seems simple at first. You’re a boy made of meat, and you’re in love with Bandage Girl. The good news is, Bandage Girl loves you too. The bad news is, Dr. Fetus hates everybody and YOU especially, so he beats you up and kidnaps Bandage Girl. Your quest to rescue her is a side-scrolling… Continue reading Meaty Goodness
Full Burners
Courtesy Terribleminds The best way for me to avoid feeling the doldrums of both the season and my situation are to stay busy. I throw myself into my writing during the commute and immerse myself in games and other media while I’m home. Yes, I’m an awful procrastinator when it comes to chores because of… Continue reading Full Burners
At The Melting Pot
No D&D this week, so I’ll save the next Nentir Vale post for next Tuesday. That way it’ll be fresh in everybody’s mind. My Christmas bonus from the dayjob this year came in the form of a gift card for the Melting Pot. I’d never been to a fondue restaurant before, but to my knowledge… Continue reading At The Melting Pot
Winter has come TOO SOON
My sister gave me this lovely gift for Christmas. I’ve always wanted a scale Firelord following me around, serving as my personal cook fire and immolating nearby critters. I don’t know if he actually does the latter part yet. We’ll see. So am I the only one who feels like this snow storm we got… Continue reading Winter has come TOO SOON
Heavy Metalcraft
When I last talked specifically about Magic: the Gathering I mentioned the latest edition. I should make special mention of Scars of Mirrodin. I’ve always been a fan of artifacts, and now with the return of this plane to prominence and the prospect of recruiting a planeswalker whose entire shtick is artifice and I’m on… Continue reading Heavy Metalcraft
Christmas, All Over Again
It might be kind of tacky to recycle last year’s Christmas card, but I’m on a budget here. Whatever walk of faith you might be on (if any) Whatever wish you have for this season (if any) No matter where you go Or who you are with I pray for you to be happy I… Continue reading Christmas, All Over Again
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Kingdom of Heaven
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/kingdom.mp3] A cynic is likely to look at the release of the Director’s Cut of a movie, scoff openly and accuse the studio or the director of trying to milk a few additional coins out of the movie regardless of its overall merit. And really, I can’t blame them. I like most sane people fear… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Kingdom of Heaven
Paging Doctor Strange
As much as I never really got into reading his stories on a regular basis, I’m a big fan of Doctor Strange. Marvel’s a world full of armored geniuses, super-soliders and Viking gods. Standing right beside them is this bookworm, a former surgeon who managed to become Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme? How did he do it?… Continue reading Paging Doctor Strange
