So, let’s recap the last year… I invested in the stock market, and the stock market crashed. I bought a house, and the housing market collapsed. I got interested in Russian women, and Russia went to war with one of our best allies. *sigh* I’m starting to get a real “bad vibe” here… Maybe I’ll …

Testing My New Avatar
I really enjoy the Meez avatar creator. Here’s an image of me schmoozing with Jessica Alba:
Cinematic Believability
This is an argument that I’ve made several times, and I was surprised, as I went through my blog history, that I haven’t posted it before. Essentially, there are two ways to make fiction believable: realism and plausibility. Many people confuse these, but they are quite different: realism means that the story generally conforms to …
SED is Still With Me
Well, it looks like SED is only over for everyone who ISN’T in the Watch Team office (well, and the few people still making sand bags). I thought I was going home this weekend, but we’re still on 12-hour shifts.

110

Celebrity D&D
This is my first video. It was a documentation of the damage at my house during a big ice storm last year. Yes, it’s that boring.
Back Already
Well, that didn’t take long, did it? I was set to ship out for Phase One of Missouri OCS class 47–unfortunately, due to heat cramps, I failed an APFT run I needed to pass before I could go. I didn’t go with my class, but I have been invited to return with Class 48 with …
Temporary Leave of Absence
Well, it’s been a busy year so far. I’ve already made almost as many posts this year as all of last year, and we’re not even half-way done yet. However, I’m afraid I’ll be leaving for a while. I don’t know if anything momentous is going to happen, but don’t expect any new posts from …
