Girl pulls sword from lake, gets my vote
Girl pulls sword from lake, gets my vote
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4848540/Schoolgirl-pulls-4ft-sword-Cornish-lake.html
I don’t even know what counts as real news these days, let alone established news sources or whether they’ve got that whole bias or what…
But I do know I’d bow to a 4 year old girl with a sword before I’d bow to the likes of fascist nazis any day.

A hard boiled detective is paired with a never-ending list of partners, each more 80’s than the last.
A cowboy. Like, from the old west. He’s in black and white. Everything else is in colour. Even if it’s technicolour, because this is the 80’s, man.
An Asian. Who may or may not be a ninja.
A dinosaur.
A kid.
A black kid.
A gay black kid.
A gay black kid who’s also Autistic.

Zombies, demons and haunted cabins, oh my! (tribute to George A. Romero)
Zombies, demons and haunted cabins, oh my! (tribute to George A. Romero)
It’s been about a year (and a month) since my mum asked me “So, how would Tesla Squad deal with a cabin in the woods?”
This was in response to a writer’s retreat I went on, where there were two blood moons, a cold, windy night that slapped tree branches against the glass doors and windows, a locked room with no key, sweet fuck all reception, and a dead bird.
Around the same time, not sure exactly…

I'm back in black (and white)
I’m back in black (and white)
Okay, I’m not in black right now, but I am wearing shorts that are sort of… well, they were black when I got them. I’m also not in white, but I am white. I am SO white. If I were to go into the Ghetto, I would be shown where the nearest bus stop out of the Ghetto is, because I 1000% don’t belong in the Ghetto. But then I’m not exactly a middle class businessman with a wife and 2.5 kids and a…

Ghost in the Shell and Japanese animation's history of appropriating white culture
Ghost in the Shell and Japanese animation’s history of appropriating white culture
Interesting read, for anyone living under a rock where it comes to anime (which is most people I personally know, as I somehow manage to have a LOT of pop culture consuming friends). http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/9/11612530/ghost-in-the-shell-anime-asian-representation-hollywood

Divergent Thinking
Source: http://traditionalevolution.blogspot.com.au/2017/03/divergent-thinking-and-writing-books.html
Something I got a lot of praise for in school was my creativity and my ability to write evocative stories, my ability to draw buildings and maps (people, forget it; animals, depends). I still have a vase I made and painted, in my mother’s lounge room. I still have a toolbox and table I made in…

When did you first realize you were heterosexual?
When did you first realize you were heterosexual?
Some genius professor rustled some jimmies not long ago (and I only realised I hadn’t posted this until trying to figure some stuff out regarding this blog), and I cracked up at the sheer hilarity of it. Bravo for posting a lecture slide on the social double-standards that straight white people have towards everyone else (well, too often, anyway). This made the news, and I found it pretty…

Xmen movies
I saw Logan last week. Hugh Jackman is the first live-action Wolverine, he was a kinda strange choice, since the character is short and Jackman is Australian, while Logan is Canadian, though the two are practically the same in general, both live in extreme weather, both speak a version of English that confuses Americans, and both are friendly as all hell. Both also have reputations as badasses,…

Wow, I’ve heard of man caves, I’ve heard of she-caves, I think this just totals both of those for coolness. Plus, I could probably grab some business cards from the barber and bottle shop down the road and display those. Absolutely BYO, otherwise we’d have stubbies in the esky for $5 each, and chicks would have to be…

D&D and nOObs
That last post reminded me of the first session I DMed in 2016, while under stress, while having no internet, while trying to vote, while trying to fight a tonne of crap in this shitty house I’m in, and man, now I’m fired up.
One player called me as I was driving down to get the pizza and drinks one hour after we supposed to start play, and asked if we were still on. Yes, you indecisive wuss, we…

A gentleman's agreement
A gentleman’s agreement
Thursday last week I spent some time with my best friend from Uni, playing Terminator at Netherworld, a new bar in Fortitude Valley, where they have arcade games and your coinage gets you a LOT of mileage (it’s all retro games, of course) but then you also can get some 8% alcohol, but also Happy Hour is more coins. I decided on Terminator, because apparently, if God throws only challenges you can…

Sarcastic Writer Tag
From ShaelinWrites
Questions: 1. Where does your writing inspiration come from?
The same place your questions come from: my brain. Yes, your questions come from MY brain, and there’s something lost in translation, because I’m on a whole other plane of existence to you. And it’s a realm of strippers and icecream and you’re not invited.
2. What would you be doing if you weren’t writing?

Update for January
Phew, I’ve had a busy couple days. I published the new and final version of my book, because, well, come on, I hated the last two versions, and I know I’ve done a good job when I publish on Monday and have made $5 by Tuesday. It’s now also in Smashwords premium catalogue, meaning I am now going to be automatically distributed to all of Amazon’s competitors, just about. On top of that, I’ll be…

Idiocracy thoughts
Idiocracy is one of those scrappy underdog success stories that made a resurgence leading up to the US election of 2016, and thus became so relevant it’s scary.
In the lead-up to the election itself, I read a Cracked article on fictional presidents better than Trump, and one of them was the guy from Idiocracy, played by Terry Crews. Anyway, rewatching it on November 5 or 6 (I was going to watch V…

Reading Between The Lines (Silence as a Literary Device)
Reposting because I’ve been reminded recently of things people omit or don’t explain or can’t spit it out.
I’ve learned a very interesting technique in my Style and Poetics class, recently. It’s called Silence, and a google search turned up next to nothing on it (there was a bit of info, but not much, and certainly no suite101 articles) so I’m posting my understanding of it here so that…
