I continue to do videos for some reason
Hobbies are more fun when you can share them with people, and these videos are just one way I can share them.
Guest Article: Autumn – A Time for Cuddling (1 of 2)
A special thanks to my good friend Kenneth Green for letting me write a post on his blog. You can find it here. This will be a two part series that discusses staying close to someone you are romantically involved with, and rekindling things when the fire dulls to embers. I’m hoping to write more themed content like this in the future, and hoping it will help this blog’s focus and purpose take shape!
She’s Almost 5 Years Old, People
Last night my daughter informed me our oldest had hurt her, by “being mean” and specifically by not letting her sit in a chair that he was using as a foot rest. I asked her “What do you think his punishment should be?” She goes “Umm… we can punch him?” I say “No, honey. We don’t punch people, that’s not okay.” Then thinking about recent events, I added “Unless they are Nazis.” My daughter smiles and seems to understand, and she says “OK.” After a few more moments, she then says. “So I can punch [big brother], because he’s a Not See?”
The Pregnant Deer Scenario
In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river. This seems a safe place. Suddenly labour pains begin. At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above and lightning starts a forest fire. She looks to her left and sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her. To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her. What can the pregnant deer do? She is in labour! She is constrained by the fire on the one side, and the flowing river on the other, boxed in by her natural predators. What does she do? She focuses…
Here is a Let’s Play of Phantom Brave PC.
So this Playthrough is actually getting some views, which is exciting and refreshing. Meanwhile, continue to work on gaining some applicable skills with WordPress as well as general database maintenance. It’s a challenge but one I need to learn so I’m working on it!
Worldbuilding
So a few years ago for NaNoWriMo I decided to do a fiction story that involved spaceships. This mostly started as something of a joke because my husband plays a lot of those “Pew pew, fuck I drove into the sun again” games. I’d never really read SciFi involving spaceships, unless you want to include Star Wars in that. It was a little intimidating, but I finished the month with 50,000-some words and a short story about some people in space. Now, I’m sure it’s a lot more “Fiction” than “Science”, but in it’s rough form it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever written. So I got the idea in my head…
A Fresh Start
So I pestered my husband to set this up for me through his website because I feel like if I’m going to be spending time and serious thought in working on my writing, I need an organized place through which to discuss that. Well or to just post about whatever other mindless word vomit I have. I can’t promise I’ll update often, or really post anything much of interest. But this is a good tool to keep myself accountable and hopefully put a greater focus and more serious emphasis on a hobby I’ve probably been pursuing for 15 years.
Hello World
My first computer was a TRS 80 Model III Microcomputer. Granted, it was exceptionally antiquated when I first acquired it; it was something that was purchased, put into storage, and then dug out in the mid-90’s only to amaze my family when it still worked. I remember reading over the manuals, which were these thick hole-punched documents in heavy three-ring binders with faux leather. One of the first programs the manual had a person create, so that they could understand how to use the computer’s particular brand of BASIC, was one that displayed two words on the screen. HELLO WORLD. I am not new to blogging by any means, although…
