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
The Sith Have A Point
The X-Wing Miniatures Game by Fantasy Flight has been teasing me for a long time. I’ve tried to keep my attentions elsewhere, but with the excellent review over at Shut Up & Sit Down has nailed the coffin shut on my intentions. Soon, I will be picking up the Starter Set, and I have the… Continue reading The Sith Have A Point
From The Vault: The "Real Game" Has Begun
Life’s upheaval shows no sign of really ending, but there are lulls in the quakes. In some of them I’ve started inching back towards Azeroth. I suspect I’ll still be doing a lot of the things listed below, so here’s my take on the end-game content in the game’s current iteration. A surprisingly provincial addition… Continue reading From The Vault: The "Real Game" Has Begun
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)
From the Vault: Everything Old Is New Again
A post from last year: updated to reflect the fact that my memories of both Man of Steel and Star Trek: Into Darkness have soured considerably. I’ve been blogging for years. I’m not sure if you’d call what I’ve done or have been doing successful or not, when it comes to blogging and other areas… Continue reading From the Vault: Everything Old Is New Again
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
Musings on the Past
In lieu of Flash Fiction, I thought I’d reflect a bit on how I got where I am, aimed at where I’m going. The road hasn’t been straight, or even, or anything I could have predicted. But I’m here, now. And I’m not stopping. I can’t say I’m happy with every decision I’ve made. A… Continue reading Musings on the Past
500 Words on America
This year, July the 4th happens to fall on a Friday. In previous years, I’ve written and reposted a rather long list of observations I’ve made as an American, from the inside looking out, about this country. Unfortunately, I can’t say things have changed all that much. Don’t misunderstand – progress has been made. More… Continue reading 500 Words on America
Macabre Moisture
“Moist”. It’s not a terribly good word. It’s one of those words that sounds like it feels – uncomfortable, even downright icky. Yet with the weather the way it has been, it’s one of the few words that adequately describes the outdoor conditions in much of the US. “Muggy” also works. It’s probably my least… Continue reading Macabre Moisture
