Out And About

November 15, 2025 Joshua TongLeave a comment

No post today, on account of being away this weekend. Fiery Furnace So this is a post of pictures instead. Golden tree from Gemini Bridges. Couldn’t tell you what kind of tree it is. Except it’s gold. Whale Arch. It’s a whale.

Still Busy Weeks

April 19, 2025 Joshua TongLeave a comment

At this point the intermittent existence of actual essays on this blog could become a topic unto itself. But yes, between a very busy work week and a weekend trip I’m leaving for in… a few minutes, I’m once again doing a cop-out post. Because I want there to be something on this blog at… Continue reading Still Busy Weeks →

Schedule Slip

July 28, 2024 Joshua TongLeave a comment

It’s past midnight on a Saturday night, making this another instance of me missing my deadline of a Saturday for a blogpost. The day ended up being busy, which is probably another reminder that Saturdays aren’t really the most reliable to set aside time to write something. But then again, weekdays are tough too when… Continue reading Schedule Slip →

Summer Starts

June 1, 2024 Joshua TongLeave a comment

It’s another summer and I’m on the move again. I probably could have written something ahead of time, but a lack of forethought coupled with general busyness doesn’t lend itself to prepping a blog post. But Star Wars: Acolyte comes out this week. I haven’t been following the press around it too closely (surprising, I… Continue reading Summer Starts →

The First Cop-Out of 2024

January 7, 2024 Joshua TongLeave a comment

Y’know, when I sat down to write today’s blog post I had a couple starts that, though both had potential, I realized I hadn’t really the time to tease either out to be where they needed to be.  Instead l, today I went on a four-and-a-half mile hike, today I called my mom, today I… Continue reading The First Cop-Out of 2024 →

Away Again

December 16, 2023 Joshua TongLeave a comment

Once again I find myself on another adventure, and once again I find myself on a Saturday with less time than I’d need to write a blog post about some thing or another. So instead, here’s another cop out, perhaps I earned the week off after last week’s rumination on Final Fantasy VII and Ways… Continue reading Away Again →

Eleven Thirty

October 29, 2023 Joshua TongLeave a comment

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 →

Vacationing

April 30, 2023 Joshua TongLeave a comment

I’m out of town this weekend, visiting a friend, so no real blog post this week. I probably could have written something earlier, but I’ve been busy with life stuff (which had also been interfering with Burning Shores time), so there’s that. Plus I’ve been trying to make a point of traveling without my laptop… Continue reading Vacationing →

Three Things

April 9, 2023 Joshua TongLeave a comment

Having a weekend with people visiting and am making the effort to spend more time Doing The Thing and less time on the internet or in front of my computer. Call it the same rationale behind the whole messing with a film camera thing, call it trying to be in the moment. Whatever. In any… Continue reading Three Things →

Another Vacation

August 14, 2022 Joshua TongLeave a comment

Yeah, this is another out-of-office blogpost. Because in this third calendar year of the pandemic you start making up for missed family visits and other such trips. So some responsibilities fall by the wayside and there won’t be a proper essay today. But there’ll be one next week, and it’ll probably be on Prey. Because… Continue reading Another Vacation →
