I'm A Terrible Blogger

Seriously. I guess it says something about how utterly uninteresting my life is that I forget to remark on it for long periods of time. What did I do yesterday? I worked, then I went home and played Dragon Age: Inquisition. The day before that ... I did exactly the same thing. Today, I expect I'll do it again as well.

Right now, there's nothing on television that interests me. I look at what is in theaters and am unmoved. Latest nuTrek movie? I'll catch it on HBO in a couple of weeks. Jason Bourne comes out this week and my immediate response is why? What is left of his story? The 3rd Bourne flick was not as good as the second one, but at least it ended on a nice bookend, with Bourne once more floating in the water but now having reclaimed his life. Knowing that the director, Paul Greengrass, is a hardcore lefty, I fully expect this latest movie will be yet another anti-America screed disguised as a cool action movie. And Ghostbusters? No. Not no, but hell fuck no. I have zero interest in that crap and that's not because I hate women or something. It just looks like crap and all of the reviews I've read or see convince me that yeah, it's crap.

Haven't been on the bike as much as I would like. Intended to go on Monday but ... didn't, then it rained real bad and has been threatening to rain more all week. Really, really need to just join a gym instead of putting that off.

So that's me in a nutshell. Boring and bored.

Note that I did not bother mentioning the American election. IMHO, we're pretty much screwed regardless of which petty tyrant gets into the office.

Paladin Thoughts

In our Friday game, we're playing D&D 5E with a relatively new GM, with a fascinating campaign concept: the PCs are legendary heroes pulled from the past to deal with a great threat ... unfortunately, they were pulled from the timestream before they could become the legends. I decided that I would play a Paladin but wanted to do something slightly different and came up with a concept: the Traitor-Knight. Essentially, in his past-future, he would go on to become reviled by most of the populace due to his siding with the losers of the inevitable war that leads to the current status quo. But that's not what this post is really about. Instead, I wanted to throw out some interesting musings on Holy Knights like this.

Earthfall, Plot Outline

There are twenty planned chapters, five of which are going to be flashbacks. This is actually becoming my standard, I've noticed as "Fulcrum," "Vorticity" and "Aspects of Silver" all have that same technique baked into them. As outlines go, this probably one of my least figured out which honestly fills me with a great deal of trepidation about this.

Capaldi Leaving Who

I can't say that this surprises me - the sad part, for me anyway, is that he's had the potential to be great but the scripts have sucked terribly for him. Kind of weird that Moffat wrote some of my favorite Tennant Who eps but has kind of been a bust as showrunner. My expectation is that Capaldi's departure will be the death knell of the show. The SJW twits will get their way and the next Doctor will likely be a woman and long-time fans like me will tune out in droves. I have less trouble with the Doctor being a black guy, providing he's a guy . Sadly, the show already went off the rails with the Master regenerating into a woman (although to be fair, I've pretty much hated the modern incarnation of the Master since he first showed up in Tennant's run because he's been more Joker-like than Master-like.)
