Despite the nebulous passage of time that has marked much of this year, it continues to be November, and I continue to be writing. I'm sitting right around 34,000 words, which isn't that far from par and 'only' 16,000 to go. Not bad! And I think I've figured out my final act in a very… Continue reading Still Writing

Here We Go Again
Hey, it's November. Once again, I am, for some reason unknown to me, trying to write 50,000 words in one month. If you're curious, it's a continuation of what I was writing last year, and I think I just might be able to bring it all to a conclusion. I'm just trying to figure out… Continue reading Here We Go Again
Relief
Finally. Let out that breath. Enjoy the weekend. Rest deep. Get ready to continue the fight. But for now, celebrate, dare to hope again.
Goals
I like having goals in my video games, something to work towards. Something that once I’m done, I’m done. Once upon a time that was catching all 150 Pokémon, every now and then it’s a matter of reaching that sweet sweet 100% completion. More recently, it’s taken the shape of getting that elusive Platinum Trophy.… Continue reading Goals

I like books. I mean, I like reading. But I also like books. The two kinda go hand-in-hand for me, someone who’s considered getting an e-reader, but decided not to because he likes writing in his books too much. The pandemic has given me a deal of time to read, which is really fortunate since… Continue reading Just Browsing
Social Network
I remember when the biggest problem on Facebook was an overabundance of FarmVille invites and not widespread propaganda and competing political views. Oh, I’m sure the latter was there even in the early days, but certainly not as pronounced as it is now. A scroll through my newsfeed is almost dominated by folks sharing something… Continue reading Social Network
Checking In
It’s kinda odd to think that we’re still in the middle of a global pandemic. I’ve been called back into work a couple times a week, and there’s a bit more life out there (I’m no longer getting Death Stranding vibes when I go outside), and it sometimes looks like things are going back to… Continue reading Checking In
One Hundred and Ten
Hey, how’s it going? Today is, by my count, day one hundred and ten of quarantine here in New York. At least since the day that I went into lockdown, stopped going into work, and have been in relative isolation within my apartment. For those of y’all keeping track at home, that’s almost four months… Continue reading One Hundred and Ten
Intensive Purposes
This post is not about The Last of Us Part Two, which I have been enjoying immensely. It’s also not about She-Ra and The Princesses Of Power, which I have been joyfully devouring. Nope, this one is about a turn of phrase. Particularly "for all intents and purposes." Apparently, the phrase is one of those… Continue reading Intensive Purposes

There’s a lot going on out there. The pandemic is still very much a thing and frustration at systemic racism has finally boiled over. Earlier this week I started thinking out a blog post about it all, about my own experiences with race and learning to be better. That said, it’s difficult for me to… Continue reading Learn
