I try not to talk too much about the downward spiral that a lot of the world is currently experiencing, but my social worker said that writing my frustrations down might help me cope with them, so that’s what I’m doing today. If you’re not looking for unfiltered negative ramblings then please skip this post. … Continue reading Getting some things off my chest

I Confess
You got me. I won’t deny it any longer. The rumors are true. I am the one who killed the Duolingo owl. It threatened to end my friend streak one too many times and I lost it. I repeatedly slammed its head into the diamond tournament trophy. All jokes aside, the Duolingo marketing team is … Continue reading I Confess
Hitch-Hiking through the galaxy
It’s 2025.After all these long years I finally sat down and read Douglas Adams’ The Hitch-Hiker’s guide to the Galaxy. I first heard about this story when I watched the movie about it with a buddy of mine. That’s right, the one with Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent. I don’t remember too much about this … Continue reading Hitch-Hiking through the galaxy
The Unsleeping City
Last summer I got a subscription to Dropout’s streaming service. They’re the people that once formed CollegeHumor and then started Dropout a while ago. I mainly know about them through Brennan Lee Mulligan, who I know of as being a fantastic storyteller. I talked about his Worlds Beyond Number project on this blog before. Dropout … Continue reading The Unsleeping City
My personal beef with Michael J. Sullivan
It all started well over a decade ago, when I was still young and an aspiring writer full of hopes, dreams and most importantly the knowledge that the stories I wrote were really good. So when I saw that a published fantasy author was giving feedback to beginning writers, I figured I’d show him the … Continue reading My personal beef with Michael J. Sullivan
The world sucks right now
I spent the last week with a bad case of the flu. It’s been tough, but we’re recovering. I’m even going back to work tomorrow, for better or worse. I’ll just have the kids work in groups for a couple of days so that I don’t have to be too involved. It’s better than calling … Continue reading The world sucks right now
My favorite things of 2024
Now that we’re settled into 2025, let’s look back on the past year. It’s my first year medicated and that definitely helped me throughout. I got out of some slumps I was in and really managed to get a hold of my life. And throughout this all I’ve been consuming media. Some of these pieces … Continue reading My favorite things of 2024
2025
Another year has gone by. It’s been a long December but we’re finally here, the last couple days of the year. Christmas break has been much more pleasant for me than last year, where I had very, very bad covid. By the time the new year started the worst of it was over, but I … Continue reading 2025
A long december
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. I just want to rant a little bit about work today, so please indulge me. As you might have noticed I’ve missed some uploads, but in my defense I was in bed just utterly dead inside. This usually happens around late November/early December and I doubt I’m … Continue reading A long december
A Quick NaNoWriMo Recap
It’s December. How the time flies. And yet at the same time it moves ever so slowly. I’ll stop trying to be deep, November kind of sucked. I tend to get overworked around this time of the year which is why I’m thinking that this might be my last NaNoWriMo for a while. Let me … Continue reading A Quick NaNoWriMo Recap
