Sometimes I write about voles taking over my house or movies or whatever. This is that. Oh, and sometimes I write stories that aren’t about Ela or Grace. It’s rare but it happens. But it’s rare.
Everyone hail to the pumpkin king
I forgot to include this in yesterday’s ramble. As is tradition I will be suspending my on-going stories for October to present a Halloween special instead. Please enjoy it if you want.
RIP Stella
I’ve started getting targeted ads for my own teepublic designs. Which makes sense since I’m the one who’s bought most of them. I know that Star Trek’s whole thing is introducing cool stuff and then never mentioning it again, but whenever I’m watching a show with a vulcan I always think “they should make a bigger deal about how they’re ten times stronger than humans and also powerful psychics”. As we all know…
Sunday dream journal
Is there any topic more divisive than dreams? Yes, lots. Still, some people feel that talking about a dream you had is the absolute worst most banal conversational gambit you can make. Others love hearing about dreams. And others still are like “sure, whatever”. Last night I had a dream that I needed to see my lawyer. In order do that I had to go to a convention center where they had an…
Bumpity-bump-bump look at Frosty go
I don’t know if there’s a name for it but there’s a thing where people can suspend belief most of the time about most things and just enjoy a show but they can get fixated on something that doesn’t make sense and they can’t let it go because it’s a thing they know about personally. Example, I went to see Terminator 3 Rise of Kristanna Loken with a guy who operates a crane…
Spend my days pitching woo to you
“Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are – but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle…”– John F. Kennedy I started playing Twilight Struggle online a while back. I enjoy it. That’s why I keep doing it! I had a brilliant idea today that is going to make me…
Oops
I got confused and posted Grace on Ela day. I’m going to leave it up. Enjoy? Surprising that I’ve never done that before.
Of everything that stands
“We can’t bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to…
RPGaDay – the final four
I don’t know if the people that wrote these prompts were running out of steam at the end or if I’m running out of steam for writing them but these last few haven’t interested me as much as. I have nothing to say about scariest game. That’s not the vibe of any gaming group I’ve been part of. Because we’re so tough and manly. Because the intent of these prompts is positivity I’m…
RPGaDAY2023 Day 27: Game you like a new EDITION of
If I have a flaw (which I don’t because I’m great!) it’s that whenever a new edition of a thing comes out I hate it immediately without giving it a chance. Maybe it’s because of my early history with Warhammer and the new edition means you have to buy all new shit effect or maybe it’s because I’m a reactionary jerk who hates everything new. When 3rd edition D&D came out I was…
RPGaDay Day 25 – Unplayed RPG you own
The responses I’ve seen on this one have been interesting. About half the people out there seem to be RPG hoarders like me who have tons of games they never play and the other half only play a couple of games and don’t have bother with any other books. I’ve mentioned that the two genres I like that we don’t play because most of my game pals don’t like them are superhero and…
