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

With NaNoWriMo fast approaching, I’ll be spending some marathon time at the computer keyboard, rivaling my gaming sessions of the past.

OMG! Say goodbye to November, ‘cuz I went and did it. I signed up to participate in NanoWrimo this year.

It’s time to put pen … Continue reading
Man I can’t believe how many public figures have been lost this week! It’s just weird. Ed McMahon, Farah, Micheal, and Billy Mays. OY! In other news, I’ve been palying around with my new camera and posting pics over in my facebook album. I’ve also been going through some of my more “historic” photos and creating albums for those. As for gaming, I’ve twiddled around in LOTRO and mainly been turned off by it, yet again. It still suffers from some design faults that are systemic to Turbine games – … Continue reading
What a busy month! I can’t believe how much I’ve neglected writing in the blog, so I’m gonna blame work for that! 😛 I’ve been really busy trying to put together purchase plans and distributing and configuring new computer systems for the library that my time has just disappeared on me. By the time I get home I just wanted to vedge in front of a game or do some reading. On the gaming front, I was jumping into WAR fairly regularly, playing both my Order and Chaos toons. Then … Continue reading
