Almost Over.

  By Apprentice June 27, 2017 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

This will be a short post. We have left the bedbugs far behind. After retreating from our apartment and moving in with my very generous In-Laws we had a couple scares, but they always turned out to be a similar-looking insect, or a bite that looked similar to the bite… There is more to read…

Defeat at the hands of insect-shaped vampires.

  By Apprentice March 12, 2017 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

So, my last post was basically just an accounting of my time from the discovery of a bedbug infestation and when I decided that I still needed to act like I have a website, whether or not the bedbugs wanted me to have a life. The previous post was about… There is more to read…

My Recent Hiatus

  By Apprentice January 17, 2017 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

The last post I published was just after thanksgiving. That’s almost a 2 months ago, and it didn’t include anything that had to do with my podcast(s). I have a few episodes that are in the state of ‘almost done,’ but I’ve decided to keep my hiatus going until some things… There is more to read…

I’m really bad at avoiding being cynical.

  By Apprentice November 25, 2016 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

And that really sucks. The following is a comment from a reddit thread. I suggest reading the thread until you get to this one, but this one is the most important thing I’ve read recently.

Bedbugs

  By Apprentice November 6, 2016 April 13, 2018 Articles, lifestyle, Personal

They are a thing. A thing in my house. Not very many- in fact so far it’s one of the smallest colonies I’ve ever even heard about- but no matter how many you see, you drop 100% of other things and take care of them right the hell now. So,… There is more to read…

So I Actually Have A Podcast

  By Apprentice September 9, 2016 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

So, I find myself at the end of a week, when I would normally be finishing editing an episode and releasing it. I would normally be hoping that the few people who I know listen to it (Hi, Ellie and Claire!) will get something entertaining and interesting out of it.… There is more to read…

A week

  By Apprentice September 11, 2015 April 13, 2018 Articles, lifestyle, Personal

A lot can happen in a week. Certainly, a lot did happen the week before last. Going backwards from Sunday: Moved all of the baby stuff and 90% of my wardrobe back home from my parents-in-law’s place Came back to my parents-in-law’s house from a cabin-on-a-lake trip with my guy… There is more to read…

Juggling

  By Apprentice July 30, 2015 July 30, 2015 lifestyle, meta, Personal

I haven’t updated in a while. I don’t really even know if anyone actually reads this – if they do, then I can’t tell because no one comments and there are more bots crawling my page looking for an email address to spam than there are live humans (also, I… There is more to read…

status of stuff

  By Apprentice May 25, 2015 April 13, 2018 Articles, meta, Personal

Before I get going: Go see MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. You just need to. Don’t see it if you have PTSD associated with hardcore punk style (lots of leather and metal), or car crashes (basically it is one long car crash that keeps getting better), or fire. Those are the… There is more to read…

In chapter 2, I related how Amanda told me that we were pregnant Before I get going, I am going to go on a little rant. Skip it if you want – it has little to do with the story, just a little bone to pick with critics of word… There is more to read…

On Vacation

  By Apprentice May 12, 2015 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

I am at oak Island, North Carolina. My time is being taken up by showing my baby what sand is, enjoying the sand and sun myself, eating really good food, and generally relaxing a whole bunch. You may have noticed that I did not upload a new episode. Even though… There is more to read…

The Lily Story, Chapter 2: The News

  By Apprentice May 7, 2015 April 13, 2018 Articles, lifestyle, Personal

Like I may have mentioned before, Lily was quite a surprise (By the way, do not ever call a child a ‘mistake’. They are either planned or a surprise). We were not actively trying to have kids, we were on birth control, we were getting used to deflecting the ‘when… There is more to read…

The Lily Story, Chapter 1: The Relationship

Order of Events

  By Apprentice March 10, 2015 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

I am admitting defeat. This website was started as an interesting hobby and it’s initial idea was to have a home for various podcasts and a blog. My podcasts have sorta fizzled as they started, mostly because of changing life circumstances that force me to prioritize certain things over hobbies.… There is more to read…

Fighting.

  By Apprentice January 21, 2015 April 18, 2018 Articles, lifestyle, Personal

I like fighting. The sheer brutality about it. The conquering of something. Sometimes things that were larger than me. Larger than life. I have only been in a few fistfights in my life, one was in middle school – and I lost in a positive way. But as a 21st… There is more to read…

An Important Event Planned for the Spring

  By Apprentice September 10, 2014 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

First off, I am apologizing in advance for the nerdy style of speech that I am using. I am apologizing mostly to my family – many of my family are not nerds and I suppose they just have to put up with it. I am also apologizing to my friends,… There is more to read…

My Life is Frustrating. But Only a Little.

  By Apprentice July 2, 2014 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

I am posting this right before I post another, more RPG-nerdy post. I am doing this because I think that this website is not about my life – it is about a life that I share with the geeky community. Very little of this post relates directly to the nerds,… There is more to read…

Need to get back in.

  By Apprentice June 26, 2014 April 13, 2018 Articles, Personal

I think I’ve been listening to too many people talking about podcasts, and not enough people talking about Pathfinder. I know this because I got my website up so fast and I still haven’t managed to finish writing that first adventure or edit a single other episode. Those two goals… There is more to read…
