This is my 626th post on this blog. This blog’s been around for twelve years and I’ve almost never missed a Saturday (even if they are copouts now and then). At this point, this streak is a long one and like many streaks, I don’t want to break it. My current streak on the New… Continue reading Streaks

Desert After Dinner
It’s a long weekend and I’m finally making good on a long-delayed plan to check out Death Valley and go on some hikes (I bought a compass). So today’s been a day of driving and getting our bearings, tomorrow will be a day of adventures and not getting lost (again, I am the owner of… Continue reading Desert After Dinner
Pointless Games
I’ve been playing a bunch of The Sims lately, as I do every now and then. The Sims is a weird game for me; it’s one with no goals. You can’t beat The Sims, not in the way you can other games, the point is just to play. Any 'point' to playing is one you… Continue reading Pointless Games
Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend (least in the States)! Nothing witty or profound to write here, just getting the blog post in and going back to a time spent with family. Because sometimes real life is more important than overthinking pop-culture. Sometimes.
Eleven Thirty
I’ve just realized it’s nearly 11:30pm on a Saturday and I haven’t started a blog post. It’s been another long week, one capped with a friend visiting this weekend so my time in front of my computer has been limited, even less my time spent thinking of some witty and/or insightful rant/essay to write. It… Continue reading Eleven Thirty
Break
I’ve had a busy week at work, having pulled enough hours at the day job that I’ve found myself dreaming in Adobe Premiere multiple nights in a row. Which is a weird way to dream, since a non-linear editing software does not make for riveting visuals. Perhaps even more surreal is that my respites from… Continue reading Break
Not Just A Hobby
One of my (arguably too many) hobbies is LEGO. Like, buying sets, building sets, and then making my own stuff. Honestly, "hobby" is probably an understatement; this has been a lifelong passion of mine, as attested to by the multitude of storage drawers on the desk next to me as I write this. There’s a… Continue reading Not Just A Hobby
Barbenheimer
9:30 AM There are two movies coming out this weekend that are very different. They also make a great double feature because of how different they are. At last, it’s time for Barbenheimer 10:15 AM I’m starting my day off with Oppenheimer. I’m a big fan of Nolan so I’m really curious about this movie.… Continue reading Barbenheimer
Another Week
Oh man, it’s Saturday already? And I’ve gotta get something else on this blog? Maybe I’ll phone it in this week, since I did post a whole-ass essay last week. Truth be told, I’m noodling on another, though this one’s gonna be less Tolkien and more MSN. Which is a weird sentence to write, but… Continue reading Another Week
Interim
Huh, this week got away from me. Turns out planning for an overseas trip while working overtime doesn’t give you too much time to work on that essay you had planned about The Lord of The Rings and war. Especially when that essay starts getting longer than usual. But it’s coming. Honest. I do realize… Continue reading Interim
Essays, Not Rants!
