Tarot Musical – Revisited

So I know I’ve already posted about this back in May, but I’m currently in a Tarot Class and in one of the first days’ classes the instructor handed out a bunch of stuff, which I never really went through until recently and noticed that someone else had had the same idea about merging music with the Tarot. Today I was re-doing a lot of work on my jukebox db/PHP application and thought I’d take another stab at relating the Tarot Trumps to music in my collection without looking at … Continue reading

Music on a Theme

[I’m starting to wonder if I haven’t posted this before sometime, it would’ve had to have been back when I first started the blog, ‘cuz I’ve moved since then and finding these tapes today kicked off a bunch of memories…] I found five old “themed” audio cassettes today while scrounging around looking for something else in one of my closets. Three of the five are dated and were recorded “in honor” of the person that I was dating at the time – so there are a lot of sappy love … Continue reading

October roll-up

Well October was a slow month for posting as well as traffic to the blog.   Number one on the reason for that is that I’ve just been extremely busy and I’ve also not been feeling well.  And the fact that I’ve dropped all of my subscription games for now to take a rest from most of them while I goof around in DDO.  November will probably be another slow month, since I’ve signed up for the NaNoWriMo challenge to try and write a 50,000 word draft novel manuscript.  So my free time, what … Continue reading

Weekend Report

It was a mostly uneventful weekend.  Did some chores, read a few things, played some DDO, and attended a tarot workshop.  In DDO, I did re-roll my cleric.  The one I had been using was one I had tried to build myself, and she didn’t seem to be working out too well.  So I derezed her and rolled one up using the prefigured “battle cleric” or some-such.  And this one is working out MUCH better for some reason.  I also goofed around for a bit on my Pally.  I’ve tested him … Continue reading

Do you NEED a Corp. in EVE?

I started this article as a response to a post over at We Fly Spitfires’  blog, where in the comments many folks were implying that one really needs to be in a Corp. to have fun, or fully appreciate the EVE Online experience.  Which, of course, I don’t fully agree.  I guess it could be true if you’re really into constant PvP, watching your back, and political intrigue.  I love occasional PvP, or what I call PvP on MY terms, like DAoC and WAR RvR.  And to a certain extent, EVE’s  … Continue reading
