I know that I can only change myself. I mention that because I’ve been musing about family and getting frustrated with my parents. Different reasons for each one, but frustration just the same. I don’t bring any of it to my father because he can’t help how he is (dementia), and it’s just how he… Continue Reading
I intended to write a post about dementia, which I still will. However, today on Ask A Manager, there was a post from a man who is in the same industry as his well-known (and well-loved) father. The letter writer (LW) is estranged from his father, and he wrote in because they are both up… Continue Reading
Alright. It’s a bit disingenuous to keep calling this a quick look since I’m on post four, but I’m going to stubbornly sticking to that because I can. It’s also amusing because I have played an hour or so of the game (maybe two), which is not very much playing time in comparison to how… Continue Reading
We’re up to post three of my ‘quick look’ at Stranger of Paradise; Final Fantasy Origin (Team Ninja). Which, by the way, I always want to write as Strangers of Paradise because it’s about a team of people, not one person, but maybe that’s not the meaning of the name. In the last post, I… Continue Reading
This is my second post about Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team Ninja), what I like and don’t like about it. I found watching the demo campy and enjoyable, so I bought it when it was half off. I have been playeng Elden Ring almost exclusively since the Shadow of the Erdtree drop, so… Continue Reading
I’ve been playing Elden Ring pretty much nonstop since it came out. I’ve played other games here and there, but I always return to Elden Ring. I watched Eurogamer (Aoife and Ian) play a few hours of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team Ninja) (the video is below), and it’s bonkers. The main character… Continue Reading
Still talking about being a weirdo is a very straitlaced world. Here is the post from yesterday. Sometimes, I get jaded when I hear other people talk about things they consider ‘weird’ because it often falls into what I consider to be mildly diffreent. Or even if it’s more out there, it’s not super out… Continue Reading
In my last post, I intended to talk about the little things around the big things in my life, but ended up talking about writing–which is a big thing. It’s not one of my identity issues, though, except that I’m struggling with writing fiction now in a way I never have. Before my medical crisis,… Continue Reading
In writing about writing, I am throwing pretty much all the shit against the wall and seenig what sticks. Here’s yesterday’s post. I’m at a crossroads because I have not being able to write fiction since my medical crisis. I have tried, but it just hasn’t sparkled. I have talked about how I used to… Continue Reading
In talking about my new series, In My Ideal World, I realized that I wanted to talk about little things, too. Or rather, things that don’t fall neatly into identity categories. Things that are tangentially related, but not necessarily in a category of their own. Such as weddings. They are definitely related to relationships and gender… Continue Reading
