Qualified Engineer: Another Rant on the Education System

Reflecting on how designs are tested and qualified formed the idea in my head of what “qualified” means when referring to people. A rocket engine is qualified when it has gone through a specific number of mission duty cycles and has been pushed to its utmost limits to see if it will hold up to normal operations. It isn’t unheard of for parts to break under the strain. How it breaks is revealing…

Soar Loser

Soar Loser - I give an update on the hole I've been living in the past 2 years and the fragile hope I have for what's to come.

When I started writing this, I was going to title it, “Requiem for a Dream,” and then I realized I didn’t know where that came from, only recognizing that it had to have been a title of something. I thought maybe a classical music piece but then Google showed me my error, and the plot line of the novel turned movie gave me perspective. I came to the conclusion that the title was a bit too…

Busy Bee

Hello there, Reader. I’ve been gone a while, haven’t I. I meant to write a post a long time ago, but, well, you know the story. Time eludes us all. I moved out of Alaska for a job, and so I’ve been busy with all that entails. The job is intense and requires a lot of hours. That said, a lot of those hours are spent waiting, at least for me, so here we are. Everything I do for fun has taken a hit…

Play by Post Shenanigans

For those of you who like my Shadowbreeze work (which I plan on continuing but I’ve been a busy bee lately), you might be interested in reading or even joining some Play by Post (PbP) games. I’ve recently joined a group on the Paizo website, and you can read our ongoing campaign here. It did just recently start and there are usually at least a few hours between posts, so it is a little slow going…

Reflections on Rambling

This will be in the style I used to solely write in, a rambling stream of consciousness type post in which I simply review where I am now in comparison to where I was during the course of my previous blog on wordpress and the change I’ve undergone between then and now. My previous blog currently sits at double my followers, double my views, and half my visitors as this one. My focus in that blog…

Campaign (4):

<<Previous Back and forth, side to side, front to back, and side to side again. Gentle music softly graced her ears as Evalyn lay stretched out on her swaying hammock, the only soothing sensation present in several days. She welcomed it cautiously, keeping her eye on the one that coaxed the sweet melodies from his lute. He’s got to be some sort of demon-spawn. . . Evalyn thought, peering at the…

Hero Forge Minis Painted

Hey, just so you know, not dead yet. Also, I finally finished my last hero forge mini from a group I ordered a long time ago  (see post about USPS fiasco). Here they are in all their glory! I feel pretty proud about how well they turned out, mainly because I thought I’d fail miserably. Feast your eyes on their magnificence! 😉

Mad, Menacing Mim A little over a year ago, I made a post about a character idea I had for a halfling barbarian.

You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.

The Wait

Waiting. Always waiting… I hate waiting. I’ve waited all my life; it’s all I’ve done. Waiting to grow up. Waiting to get my degree. Waiting for my career to start. Waiting to find that special someone. Waiting for, well, life to actually begin for me. Why is that? Why is it that I’ve known people who aren’t waiting, have never waited… When will we get The Defenders, dammit?! That isn’t what this…

Old Wives’ Tale: Dim Reading If you are anything like me, you love to read. I used to wear cargo pants and carry a book around in one of the pockets; I was especially fond of Tolkien's work.

Sup, peeps! Just thought I'd let you know I'm not dead yet. I've been hard at work or hardly working the past what feels like forever but was actually just a couple of months.
