Pictures of the Ex-blonde

Oh I'm just kidding, I wouldn't do that to ya! (*evil grin*)

Let's see what to ramble about. Today was kind of a non-event. Did not study much for geology, which is bad. Spread the good news that is the Star Wars Episode 3 trailer to several people though. Revised my resume again and sent it off to be torn asunder again. That is taking forever because I procrastinate on it a ton. So played a lot of Madden and we have a winning record too.

It seems like Saturdays are relax days even when I am under pressure. If I don't take a day of slacking (no matter how much it makes my Sundays nuts) I just kinda burn out the next week. Does that make any sense? I don't know. It's what I do however.

Noticing that content here hasn't been very useful of late. Not really sure how to rectify that at the moment. Don't really have the time at the moment to do that. I haven't even finished the book on the 6 Days Wars and we're in actual combat. Usually that's a faster read for me. Perspective is all skewed. They lose a half dozen people and it's a big deal. After reading about the Soviet Front and them losing full size units (think entire armies) it seems miniscule. Battles of scale I guess? I am actually looking forward to tackling the Road to Stalingrad next I think. It'd be a good read as somehow I enjoy reading about things where the entire world is collapsing and it looks like utter defeat in inevitable. That's certainly how things looked for the Soviets during 1941. It's very engrossing to me. Probably the same reason I like certain RPGs because they are written at the brink of something although that something is really up to the people playing. I'd say it plays out in the shows and movies I watch too. Lots of the stuff I really enjoy involves epic change. Everything is on the line. Sure I enjoy the little victories and some of those are great but I gravitate towards the big picture. Think: Babylon 5, Deep Space Nine, Gundam W. All those are epic. Then again Cowboy Bebop and FLCL are hardly epic, nor are any of the other Star Treks. Are the books I read epic? Well it varies because science fiction tends to vary like every other genre. I guess maybe that's not an iron rule. I do enjoy epic though, big change brings new hope on a vast level especially against overwhelming odds.

So what was that last paragraph about? Not really sure. Take what you want. Then again that's the general philosphy of this whole blog. It's me rambling, get what you want out of it. Don't even write much fiction anymore. That's what Pillars and my journal are for. Sorry only one person ever gets to read my journal and Pillars, well let that stay just a name.

I've sorted through my pictures so if you want them let me know, otherwise I am debating just slowly putting them on the blog over the next couple months. Funny thing is, pictures just stir up major memories for me. On the other hand my journal does. Sadly I have lapsed to the point of almost not writing at all (barring fiction). If only I could do a better job at keeping it up to do. I'm waxing nostaligic now, remembering old days, old times, things long gone. Need to do that sometimes I guess.

I think I'm done now. Later.
