A very, very long overdue New Year’s update

*Blows dust off of this WordPress account* Oh boy, it has been a while hasn't it? Guess the best way to start this overdue update is by wishing all of you a happy new year and a happy new decade! There's something overwhelming about the idea that we have a new blank slate to work …

Off to the races!

I'm going to try keeping this brief because I have a new game to return to. Today was racetrack day in Florida. The idea that we would be watching horse races was interesting for me to prepare for. It's been a long time since I've personally gone to any kind of races, and in the …

Rain, rain, go away

Today has been the most low-key day of my Florida vacation yet. So far I've been relatively lucky in the weather department (humidity not included), but I was inevitably going to run into a bit of... Torrential rainfall. Someone really let Kyogre out of its ball this afternoon. Now to be fair, the rain did …

Three bug bites in

Ooh boy, time to write about my day as Democrats yell at each other in the background again. Last night I mentioned going to swim in the pool today. I made good on that promise, because how could I not? It's a beaut. The water was also perfect today. Just cool enough to counteract the …

The Bachelor in Florida

Hey. Been a while, huh? I've been enjoying my "book writing sabbatical" perhaps a little too much. A lot of my novel has gotten done, but there have been plenty of things over the last month I easily could have blogged about. I was almost completely by myself for three weeks as Mom and Aly …

Not at all refreshing

When the last summer banner came out, I was convinced it was the only one we'd see this year. That 50-day period was incredibly deceiving, because here we are staring down a Binding/Blazing Blade summer banner. Featuring our sixth variant of Lyndis. Sigh. Let's break my anti-Summer Initiative for the second time this week and talk …

Sword and Shield news: Exclusive trainers and Gigantamaxing

I can't believe I'm going to break my self-imposed blogging restriction on account of Pokémon today and Fire Emblem tomorrow. Here I was ready to sleep through the morning, but no. Apparently I have a problem. Let's just jump in so that I don't spend a billion years writing this post — as I tend to …

The… Anti-Summer 2018 Initiative?

Greetings and salutations. As you may have noticed, things have been a little different around here recently. A little more barren. Don't worry, it's not a symptom of finally running out of ideas. I did that about a year ago and wrote about my pencil set. Nor is it some delusion that my Naruto-Arena post …

Late to the memorial

Naruto was probably my favorite anime growing up. I first watched 1986's Dragon Ball, and I distinctly remember doing silly things like watching an episode at my neighbor's house when Mom wouldn't let me at home. Shout out to Norm and Sue, wherever they are now. However, that show never stuck with me like Naruto. I had …

Eliwood rides again

We already have a Legendary alt for Lyndis and Hector, so it only makes sense that we'd be filling out the Blazing Blade's lordly roster with the father of the Lion: It's Eliwood's time to shine. Eliwood — Blazing Knight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M9OV5ZPgYE I rolled my eyes when first watching this video. "ANOTHER Legendary sword cavalier?" I …
