I by no means mean this to be an afront to his greatness; it is a personal feeling. I grew up with Labyrinth and bought Scary Monsters fairly early in the 80's and would listen to it at night endlessly on headphones (and still do). Still when Let's Dance came on MTV, I found it boring, too mainstream. There were always the few other songs like ( Read more... )

It's 2016 and time to go over last year's and this year's yearly goals. Last year was pretty good. Some bad things did happened. My mother had a heart attack and my father has broken his hip. Hopefully, they'll get better and nothing will happen in 2016 ( Read more... )

I've tried it before, let's try it again. Hopefully, if nothing else, this little FB shake up will get me back to checking other social networks. LJ is my favorite, but for all the hours I spend on FB, I really do dislike it, or at least find it unproductive. I really need to get back to checking all my different web pages, favorites, social ( Read more... )

2014's Yearly Goals I am setting for myself will most likely include a lot of reading, so I am starting early. One of the goals will be to read Appendix N, which to those who don't know is the list of inspirational reading in the back of the 1st edition Dungeon Master's Guide by Gary Gygax, in other words, the inspirational material for the ( Read more... )

For the first game, there were two players that were able to make it on short notice. I decided upon third Thursday of every month as it danced around my upcoming time on call for work and going to Burning Man. Thus the first game was "this Thursday" and many of my friends have busy lives. I had just watched Full Metal Jacket again and was ( Read more... )

“The thief, the one they called Blackleaf, was from Waterdeep. She was wrapped too tight for the Dungeon, probably wrapped too tight for Waterdeep. Elfstar with her magic missile spell was a famous mystic from the woods south of Shadowdale. You look at her and you wouldn't believe she ever cast a spell in her whole life. Ironwolf, Morgan Ironwolf, ( Read more... )

2013 was a good Burning Man. Probably not the best but, although some bad things happened, certainly not the worst. Several people this year said "You don't always get the Burning Man you want, but hopefully, you get the Burning man you need." In thinking it over, the event is a sort of spirit quest. I do not necessarily mean that is even a ( Read more... )

Hello, Livejournal! It's so nice to see you again, with all your content from people I know. You're not filled with nothing but links to website lists, internet rants, or cat macros. We should hang out more often. I know I've said that in the past, and I've meant it. I just procrastinate a lot.

Ah, the things that one thinks up on long lonely drives between Seattle and Portland. I just remembered a rather long and detailed idea I had for a video series while heading down there at the end of last year for the Vespertine Ball. I had been wanting to do some video that year and thus had it on my mind and came up with the idea, or rather a ( Read more... )

First, we look at the 2012 yearly goals ( Read more... )
