Stephen Blackmoore’s Dead Things: A Review

Dead Things by Stephen Blackmoore is a book that I picked up after reading his first book City of the Lost. Both books are set in the same world, with the flavor of urban fantasy. With the noir storytelling, it’s difficult to not compare these stories with the first few books of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series. […]

Daylight Savings: The Dumbest Idea

I know, let’s arbitrarily shift time one hour forward. Why? For a reason, I’m sure. Something to do with farmers wanting more hours to work in the daylight, if I remember correctly, which I’m sure I don’t because it’s Ass O’Clock in the morning and I had to wake up even earlier in the morning […]

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Boris the Soviet Love Hammer

*If you get the two references from the title of this post, I love you* I’ve got little time today to discuss much of anything, so I’ll discuss only one person who I’ve really noticed at work recently. On this blog, I will call him Boris the Soviet Love Hammer. He’s not actually Soviet or […]

A little bit of everything

I know that I promised to write up a review of Stephen Blackmoore’s new book Dead Things, but I still need a little more time to think and edit the post so it looks all profound and stuff. Instead, I’ll tell you what I made last night. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. This is something I […]

Imagine Something Profound Here

There was a lot I’d planned on writing today, but my stay at the auto shop is taking a whole lot longer than I expected, and seems to be intent on holding on to me right up until work starts. I’m stuck here writing this on my phone. So instead I’ll remind you that you […]

The fun part of life

We all know that we have to work to live, unless you’re one of those bastards who are born rich, in which case, screw you. We live for the days off. That’s what I’m at again today. Living my life the way I want it to be lived. Last night I got to chat with […]

Day off

I’ve got a few things that I usually like to do on my days off, and I didn’t do any of them today. Instead I played my new favorite video game, Kerbal Space Program, in between loads of laundry. Also I managed to write and record a theme song for my podcast, Freddy’s Fan Fiction, […]

How to ru(i)n a business… And some more people I meet at work

The title of this blog might give the impression that either the company I used to work for or the company I currently work for are doing poorly and will soon go out of business. Not the case. Just saying. I think they’re stable and doing fine. But, like anything, there are things that can […]

Casualty of Job

The following post is just to catch you all up on my story, so you’re not left wondering what the hell I’m talking about in my future posts. My previous job, as an engineer in a corn ethanol facility, was filled with danger. There’s the inherent dangers of any industrial environment, like big heavy things […]

The people I meet at work

I’m going to mainly talk about the few people who I remember and come in at least once a day. They may be specific people, or they may be a specific type of person. I don’t know anyone’s name yet, because I haven’t worked there long enough, and because my interaction with them is so […]
