Today, as part of my fairly excellent birthday vacation day, I got to go to Caleb’s school and eat lunch with him. It was a great experience, eating a meal with prekindergarteners that laugh and joke and make fun of their food. The experience actually inspired a brand new birthday Ficlet entitled “Ancient Children“. The […]
Today is my birthday
By the way, today is my 31st birthday. Well wishes are not only encouraged, they are demanded. You may begin groveling now.
Back to Song of Ice and Fire
My father-in-law was in town this weekend, and we all stopped by the used bookstore (where I used to work, many years ago). I couldn’t find any scifi that interested me, but they just happened to have book four of the Song of Ice and Fire series: A Feast for Crows. So much for “returning […]
Big weekend plans
This should be one of those big, hectic weekends that we seem to have a love/hate relationship with these days. We’ve got Brant’s Great Pumpkin Festival most of the day Saturday, and then that night I resume duties as emcee to the First Things Tour concert coming through our church. I’ve got to figure out […]
Story prep completed!
I’m pretty excited now. I’ve just completed all the preparatory work for starting my NaNoWriMo novel next week. This is the first time I’ve put so much effort into my writing in — well, ever, to be precise. The first thing I did was to put together a basic premise paragraph. I followed that with […]
Nintendo might be hoping that Battalion Wars 2 won’t sell well
GoNintendo is a Nintendo fan blog I read frequently because Rawmeat Cowboy will post absolutely anything there that is even remotely Nintendo related, and I can’t get all the content he manages to post in a single day on a single site, anywhere else. Today, RMC posted an “End of Day Thought” regarding the complete […]
DS Lite is moving higher on my list
My co-worker brought in his Nintendo DS and his brand new copy of the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass into work yesterday so I could check it out. All I’ve heard from him for months is that despite all the games coming out on every console these days, the DS remains his favorite system. He’s […]
The Weekly Release
Nick Puleo of Evil Avatar (a site I can no longer visit at work thanks to our new network web content filter) has set up another cool website called The Weekly Release. You may recall Puleo as the person that allowed me to desecrate his Gamers’ Gallery site with my hideous graphics. Over on EvAv […]
Time to tell an embarrassing story
As if it weren’t already obvious enough, I’m about to tell a story that actually occurred this weekend and contains a fair bit of personal embarrassment. Just a warning. So, I found my wedding ring on Saturday. Yeah, let me tell a bit of back story first. About two years ago, I was out un-burying […]
Wil Wheaton finally Ficletting
I’ve decided that with NaNoWriMo fast approaching, now is a perfect time to get back into Ficlets. So, I logged back into the site and took a look at the dusty place that I hadn’t visited in several months. I checked through my contacts and realized that some of my favorite authors also have neglected […]
