I noticed a bunch of sites still link to this defunct journal - if you're looking for me, I'm much more active on twitter ( @mytholder) these decades. -
Obstinately untitled cooking blog
Originally published at Figures of Text. Please leave any comments there.
I’m quite sure I’ve cooked in the weeks since the last update. It was undoubtedly just fuel food though. Things have been busy, between pre-GenCon madness in work and the boys’ immensely successful naming ceremony.
Today, I tried Gordon Ramsay’s Chilli Con Carne. I’ve never ( Read more... ) -
Untitled Cooking Blog

Well, deli pointed out that the previous title was easily misread as cockblocking, and what has been seen can’t be unseen.
This week, we all melted because the sky is on fire. Irish architecture, culture and people evolved under the constant pressure of rain. We’re set up for ( Read more... ) -

Editorial Note: Yes, it’s been nearly two years since I updated. I’ve been busy. Twins, for example, can be quite time-consuming. Move on.
Next month, deli goes back to work, and I’ll transition into my new role as stay-at-home dad. I’ll keep writing, but my primary focus, at ( Read more... ) -

There’s a general election on Friday. It’s going to be an earth-shaking, transformative election, unprecedented in the history of the Irish state. This time, we’re going to vote for the other lot, not the usual lot. In fact, the usual lot are pretty screwed, because they broke ( Read more... ) -
20/10 Hindsight

A year ago, more or less, I got an out-of-the-blue phone call from Mongoose, informing me that my contract was being terminated. I was Mongoose’s longest-serving staff writer by far, having started way back in May of 2003. That equates to roughly five million words, by the way ( Read more... ) -
Gaelcon 2010
Originally published at Figures of Text. Please leave any comments there.
It could be argued that going to Gaelcon in my current mental state was unwise - it’s hard to relax at a con when your embryos are being defrosted and transferred the next day. I also learned that I actively need to GM at least one game early in a con. Apparently, if I can’t ( Read more... ) -
