A Few Thoughts About The Legend of Vox Machina

Note–this is not a review per se. I don’t actually care much for the idea of reviewing TV shows anymore, because it suggests that I should be watching with an eye to criticism. I don’t do that. I watch with an eye to enjoyment, but I don’t leave my brain behind either. These are just

Episode 10: Making Room for Creativity

I started seeing a Career Counselor about a year ago, and it went nothing like I thought it would. I should say up front that my career goals were primarily creative (I want to finish a game, and a novel or two, or 100). I’ve felt somewhat stalled from really achieving the outcomes I wanted

Episode 8: Chaos, Order, and Creation

There are two books I love about order and chaos. The first is a book a friend wrote called Chaos and the Kingdom. It’s a bible study guide for small groups designed to help them understand the chaos imagery in the Old and New Testaments and how it plays into key biblical stories. You might

A Few of My Favorite Things: Dimension 20

I will try to keep this page spoiler free. I really just wanted to write something appreciative about Dimension 20 as a whole. I first started watching Misfits and Magic because a friend of mine kept sending me tiktoks of this crazy Harry Potter spoof for hypernerds. Just listening to Erika and Brennan critique the

A Thank You Note to Twitter

Note: As important as it is to offer constructive criticism to those who fail to do the right thing, it is also important to recognize when people and institutions are heading in the right direction.

Episode Five: Estranged Bedfellows, Happiness and Effort

All things are full of weariness;    a man cannot utter it;the eye is not satisfied with seeing,    nor the ear filled with hearing.9 What has been is what will be,    and what has been done is what will be done,    and there is nothing new under the sun.

Episode 7: Taking Stock with the Stoplight Method

Last summer I took some time to take stock. What I found was solidly…okay. For the past couple of years, I had put a significant amount of effort delving into family history that needed sorting out. Let me tell you! “Okay” was not the word I would have used to describe that experience. That was
