Waaaay back in 1993 (I think), I flew on a plane for the first time. As I recall, we flew out of Stansted, to the sun-kissed shores of the Algarve, in southern Portugal. The experience was quite a novel one, and the holiday itself was a very enjoyable one. It took me a minute to […]
We had arrived back on Terra, er, Hylia, having heard Zelda’s voice, imploring us to find her. The map indicated Hyrule Castle would be the first, best place to find the errant princess, but would this prove to be true? What else waited upon the surface of this new, unhinged Hyrule? This little fortification held […]
Time for a Prompt with a bit of a difference, as I take a leaf from Bruce Gerencser’s book, and recount some of my personal steps. We’re taking a step back to the early 90s (I think it was the early 90s), and an impact – quite literally – upon my life. My mother, father, […]
Here we go then. After six years of waiting, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is here! Well, to be fair, we’re talking four years of waiting, but it’s been six years since Breath of the Wild transformed the Zelda franchise. Can Tears of the Kingdom replicate its success? This diary isn’t intended […]
Oneiromancy (yet another word I will struggle to pronounce, let alone spell) is divination through dreams. To put it another way, people who practice oneiromancy are trying to reveal the future (or the unknown) through dreams. This is, typically, one of those fields without any form of scientific validity. It’s nonetheless something that can feel […]
A pluviophile is a curious being, at least to this meerkat. They are someone who enjoys rain and rainy days. They are fascinated by the sight and sound of rain. In short, they could not be more different to how this ‘kat regards the falling wet stuff. I don’t mind the rain on limited occasions, […]
I have a made a point not to respond to material from a certain, fundamentalist website, but occasionally, the site’s author will say something so outrageous that it requires correction. #1.What Words Should We Use to Describe Immigrants? First, they are NOT immigrants but criminals. They violate the immigration laws of the land they enter […]
The WordPress Jetpack app has daily prompts, and sometimes, I use them. I don’t necessarily use them on the day I publish them, if that makes sense. What can I say, I’m a rebel. What makes this meerkat nervous? The threat of being eaten alive by hyenas? Well, thankfully, that’s not high on the list. […]
How do you unwind after a demanding day? I like to write prompt-inspired posts! Well OK, there’s a lot more to it than just that, but in all seriousness, writing stuff is one of my ‘go-to’ activities for de-stressing. It’s a means of spilling the chaotic thoughts tumbling around my brain, and sifting them into […]
Bibliogony is a word I should be more familiar with. It is ‘the art of producing and publishing books’, and this is a journey I have been on. The Awakening is the result of my own bibliogony, the loving labour of a few years work. Writing the original version took several months; the process of […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
