I’ve watched the Flashpoint TV series and one of the phrases that stuck with me is “We meet people in the worst 20 minutes of their lives.” This applies to me quite often. I work as a critical care nurse. I am literally with people for the most stressful time in their life. But I’m…

Daily Journal: Keeping the brain with depression busy
One of the techniques I used successfully last time I was dealing with a significant depression, was to keep my brain occupied. I love stories. To me it’s not about how the story ends, but the journey you take to get there. I used audiobooks last time to keep my brain busy. This time I’m…
Daily Journal: Today’s steps with depression
I forgot about the combination of the WordPress app and the Siri on my iPhone. This may be easier to keep up with NaBloPoMo than I originally thought. I should’ve realized the depression was back because I hurt all over. My back and knees has been very painful lately. Even my shoulders and wrists are…
Daily Journal: My backwards life
So what am I doing today. I worked… There’s 12.5 hours (without counting travel time) gone right there. I’m 12 hours flipped from a “normal life”. My day starts at 3:00 PM when the alarm goes off…. I NEVER get up when my alarm goes off. My alarm is an abused thing. The snooze get…
Daily Journal: NaBloPoMo vs NaNoWriMo, aka you may be seeing more cat photos
I’ve tried NaNoWriMo last year. I only get about 1 or 2 days into it before it falls apart completely. So I’m going to try NaBloPoMo this year instead. What is NaNoWriMo? National Novel Writing Month. I so suck at writing fiction. Even when I was trying just to write a daily short story. NaBloPoMo…
From Feedly: With 100K Titles In Tow, Oyster Brings Netflix To Book Lovers With New All-You-Can-Read Subscription Service
While the pace has slowed of late, thanks to Kindles, Nooks, iPads and the steady advance of mobile technology, the eBook market (and the demand for all manners of digital content) has grown steadily over the past few years. According to the LA Times, the total revenue generated from eBook sales in the U.S. topped…
The Queue: Super Sentai
The Queue: Super Sentai. BnDov3r asked: What would be your top3 story threads you’d like to see developed in the next expansion? Since I play Alliance: reclaiming Gilneas, reclaiming Gnomeregan, and reclaiming Argus. The Alliance has more exiles and outcasts than the faction that prides itself on being outcasted exiles. We should probably spend a…
Daily Journal: two big announcements on Twitter
World of #Warcraft Patch 5.4: Siege of Orgrimmar arrives September 10! http://t.co/oN15VmEs3q — World of Warcraft (@Warcraft) August 21, 2013 I am one of the people very happy with the delay. Granted I still have to work the night of the 10th so I still miss the first two of my guild’s raid nights in…
Daily Journal: Need to get back in the swing of things
Ok, I have been slacking on the Daily Journal again. As you may can tell by the Instagram posts, I’ve left Delware and traveled up to Vermont (via Tenneseee). I’ve started working on my WoW books again. They will eventually be here with my SWTOR books. I wrote the Draenei backstory chapter today. I’ve also…
From Feedly: Patch 5.4 PTR: Patch notes update for July 12
They are making Teleport: Moonglade & Death Gate more like Zen Pilgrimage. I like this idea. Druids and Death Knights using spells that take them to training areas (Moonglade and the Ebon Hold) will now find that casting Teleport: Moonglade or Death Gate will return them to a location near their original departure point.
