I had planned to write something for Sunday. But there was a hurricane and I thought most if not all of my worldly possessions were going to be destroyed (it is fine now) so I did not get a chance to write down anything. Here are some entries I wrote and posted before the hurricane looked to be coming right for me.

This is a homebrew mechanic for Dungeons and Dragons 5e dealing with making healing items much cheaper and easier to use.

And this is a book review for "The Cold Dish" first in the "Longmire" series of westerns/mysteries set in Wyoming around late the late 90's (at least I think it is the late 90's, it is a little unclear). TL;DR I didn't really care for it and I have some things to say about it.

I decided to do one of my rewrites.
This time of a poem I liked. There is a link to the original poem (for comparison) in the blog.
It is a little grim.

Yesterday I talked about some truly bad horror movies on Netflix
"Netflix Horror, 3 Things to Avoid"

Today I talk about 2 movies that were worth watching... I guess.

Hey man. I enjoyed your reviews. I have a terrible weakness for found-footage horror films, so I ended up watching 'Demonic.'

Can't really disagree with your assessment. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who didn't like the genre. I've certainly see much worse movies...its at least competent, but it doesn't bring anything particularly enjoyable to the table. Devil's Pass was much better...and Devil's Pass is hardly a cinematic masterpiece.

I tried watching I Am the Pretty Thing and never ended up finishing it. I'll have to remedy that at some point, but first I have to watch 'Black Room.' Why, you ask? Because....I loathed Species. That is one of only two movies that I have seen where I seriously considered simply walking out of the theater. (If I hadn't been there with friends, I would have.) There is no possible way Black Room can be worse than that.

And once I'm done with that, I'll take any remaining brain cells and watch Dark Song. Jacob's Ladder is a great film. Even an echo would be welcome.

I am glad I was able to draw your attention to ... Let's go ahead and call them "time fillers". I hope you enjoy them to the level they deserve.

This is a late in the day entry, and that fits the theme of how it is a post of my short outline discussing peaceful protests. I wrote it weeks ago and wanted to do more work to flesh it out. A hurricane hit and I got a job so I let it slide.

Missed the boat.

Title gives a good enough description of the content.
TL;DR "Don't be an asshole".

Edit: This entry criticizes a trend I see in many spaces of the internet which includes awful people using Anime Avatars and other geek iconography while professing beliefs those characters (Goku, Batman, etc) would find disgusting. This may or may not include people from this webzone, use your own interpretation.

For a fun change of pace I wrote a blog that actually has something to do with this website.
I spent 1,000 words talking about my fan theory on the Borg.

This is really more about me being dismissive to racists. Make of that what you will.
