I’m On My Way

As you are reading this, I’m on my way westward to my niece’s baptism. In my absence I figured I’d start some debate.  Here it is:
Wolf Blitzer is neither a wolf nor a blitzer.
Discuss.

No Energy

If I was Link from the Legend of Zelda right now, my little energy level meter would say half a heart. I am completely wiped. A week of staying up until midnight to watch the speeches of the Democratic National Convention has finally caught up to me.
What did I think of Obama’s speech last [...]

A Historic Day

Yesterday was truly a historic day. It was a day my wife and I actually got caught up with our laundry. What? You thought I was going to mention something else?
Seriously, though. For the first time in a loooong time (two years maybe?) we were able to get through the mountains of dirty [...]

British Superhero Sitcom

I came across this via The Beat, an Comic Book blog. It seems there’s going to be a sitcom in England titled NO HEROICS about “about a bar where out of costume superheroes hang out”. This has been done before, including a comic I’ve read called Superhero Happy Hour. However, upon watching [...]

What Should I Write?

I just received an email in my inbox, from someone I don’t know, but with a subject intrigued me. The subject of the email was Town & Gown’s Fiction Contest. I usually don’t open emails from people I don’t know, but Town & Gown is the name of a magazine in town here [...]

A Day at the (Ball) Park

Friday night we attended our first professional baseball game of the year. In August. *sigh* This is so sad because the team we went to see is only a ten mile drive from our house, is located in the town that I work, and tickets are only $7 a piece. It’s also [...]

Beer Vending Machine

I came across this today and had to share it. It’s a beer vending machine. We soooo need this in the States (in my living room).

The image and article can be found at Wall Street Fighter.
Also, I signed up for Twitter today, so you can favorite me today at http://twitter.com/strugglngwriter. Just another [...]

Give Me a Second

As usual, my daughter made me laugh yesterday. She said something so funny I had to write it down, just so I could share it with all of you. That’s just the kind of guy I am.
Yesterday my wife had another appointment with the OBGYN to make sure she and the baby are doing [...]

Some Happy, Some Sad

Some happy stuff for today, and some sad. I nearly cried at work yesterday. That’s the sad part. Lets talk about the happy first.
I’ve been able to get some fiction writing done the past few days. It feel very great, much better than my usual “I’m going to write today” followed [...]

Lego Castle

Well, we attempted our Lego castle as you can see above. I don’t think we did too bad of a job for our first try, especially if you factor in that we were using the big little kid’s Legos and did have any arch pieces.
To be honest, my wife did a lot of the [...]
