The Day Won’t Stop
A little bit of a self-indulgent post today. It is 10:40 at night and other than the twin 20 minute comments to and from work, this is the closest I have come to time to relax since getting out of bed this morning. Teaching classes, several meetings, creating curriculums, doing all those necessary things that … More The Day Won’t Stop

101 Days
Let’s night, after I posted my daily blog, an interesting notice came up. It turns out that yesterday was my 100th straight day with a posting on this site. Which makes today the 101st. So far this is shaping up to be a pretty good year for me, writing wise. I finished up the first … More 101 Days

Recovering
Most of the last two days I’ve had a low key migraine going on. Almost low enough where I feel a little bad calling it a migraine. I was able to work, move about, etc. It’s pretty much faded away by this point. Now I just need to figure out what might have helped. The … More Recovering

I Get Migraines
Every now and then. They come and squeeze my brain. Sinuses and eyes feel pierced. Today it was all I could do to finish work before the migraine fully blossomed. Still fighting it. Too much to do today to be out of commission. So far no nausea, so it isn’t one of the really bad … More I Get Migraines

The Legend of Vendarr
Vendarr made his way to the frozen west, confident that he would be able to tame the frozen savages that lived there. For he was Vendarr, wielder of the Inferno Blade, and all knew that ice had no recourse but to melt before the greatness that is fire! And so, Vendarr trekked into the great … More The Legend of Vendarr

The Noise Vans Return
There are some absolutely wonderful things about living Japan. I love the ease of public transportation here. As some one who has never really been all that interested in cars, being able to go almost anywhere, especially in a city like Tokyo, by relying on trains and buses is a dream. And, of course, this … More The Noise Vans Return

One Month (and 3 days)
On March 3rd we were fortunate enough for my wife to safely give birth to an amazing and healthy little girl. Since then, a majority of most days has been spent rocking, feeding, changing, and just generally caring for my daughter. That in and of it self is also a blessing. I had two weeks … More One Month (and 3 days)

Editing Paranoia
After a few false starts, today was a fairly successful day of editing. Or at least as successful as you can get while caring for a newborn. Still, a day that comes with an abundance of baby snuggles is a good day. But, at last, I was able to edit. And it felt quite productive … More Editing Paranoia
