Book Review: Odium II by Claire Riley

If you read this blog and have somehow managed to not pick up a copy of one of Claire’s books by now, you obviously are just here for the pictures of my adorable children.  However, if, somehow, you dig kickass books and have been ignoring my constant pressure to just …

Fat Mogul vs. Quitting

Every so often I get to conversing with an old friend who has recently found out about my adventures in writing.  Although they generally express little interest in actually reading the books I’ve written (which I’m totally cool with…I’m not sure I would read them either) they often congratulate me …

Fat Mogul vs. Hashtags

First, I want to apologize…I’ve been silent the past week.  Been dealing with some personal demons and just haven’t had the mental capacity necessary to put much up here.  Finally back to the world of the mentally living and trying to catch up on everything that fell to the wayside. …

Fat Mogul vs. Star Trek

Somewhere around 4 years ago, when I realized that my work days would be filled with television watching as I work on mindless tasks, I made the decision to up the ante on my own nerd knowledge and finally watch every single episode of Star Trek ever shown on television. …

Fat Mogul vs. Mothers

By the sight of the shorts and sandals on the pasty legs of my two little ones, it has finally become official…Spring finally made it to Wisconsin!  And just in time for Mother’s Day too. In fact, Mother’s Day has become somewhat of a season opener around the Oster household …

ZOMBEEEEEEZZ!!! Come get sum!

Fat Mogul vs. The Blurb

Although I like to consider myself a rather good author, there’s a few things about the writing process that I’m just not very good at…one is giving titles to things.  If I actually sit down and try to come up with a title, I find myself trying to fit way …

Fat Mogul vs. Negativity

So…to continue on the idea from yesterday, I’m beginning the attempts to quash my addiction to negativity (something that probably comes from my upbringing in the 90′s) and learn to create a more positive outlook by doing so. I know…lame stuff….but, you know…this is my stupid diary, you can lay …

Fat Mogul vs. Motivation

I’ve been watching a bit of TED talks this week, due to their life hack series being scheduled to drop from Netflix Instant Watch in the next month.  It’s been great.  But…I can’t help feel that they are a tad more motivational speaking than your standard TED talks.  I guess …

The Problem with Blogging

I’ve been blogging regularly now for about four years.  Sure, there have been times of lapse, where I get stuck on a project and put the blogging to the wayside.  Sure, there have been several different blogging projects, attempts to come up with a theme, or other sites, in which …
