Welcome to my blathering…
You've somehow managed to reach my blog. I don't know how, I don't know why, and I don't care. Actually, my Google Analytics account mostly disproves that sentence.In this blog you may find a unique mixture of wit, hard work, neglect, randomness, copy-and-paste jobs, philosophy, word salad, wishful thinking, harbored ill-will, motion sickness, music, sex, orange pulp, your Aunt Bessie (yes, you have one, but she thought it best that you never meet her for reasons that would become obvious if you did), money-making schemes, skepticism, horrors beyond somebody's imagination, Eagles, sardonic quips, triple-malt Whiskey advertisements, glorious depravity, suntan lotion sales pitches, pessimism, green (the color, the movement, whatever), and other things I'm too lazy and unimaginative to add to this list at the moment. Stay tuned.
Oh, and Happy Monkey!
Random Quote
“Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.
But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please--this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such request, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time--and squawk for more!
So learn to say No--and to be rude about it when necessary.
Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.
(This rule does not mean that you must not do a favor for a friend, or even a stranger. But let the choice be yours. Don't do it because it is "expected" of you.)”

PixelVixen707: The Lost Coin-Op
So just got the exciting confirmation that I solved the latest puzzle in the mystery of the Lost Coin-Op over at PixelVixen707. 
See, Rachael’s been searching for an arcade machine she played with at a then-local restaurant as a kid. She had a chat with her dad about it, argued a little over what game it is, and ended up making a pretty wild bet that one could track down the EXACT MACHINE she played with all those years ago. Seems absurd, and she was definitely kicking herself for it, but the thing is, they’re sort of pulling it off. And it’s taken quite a wild ride. To watch the story unfold, check out the appropriate tag here.
On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, J.C. Hutchins’ podiobook precursor to his forthcoming novel, Personal Effects: Dark Art has just been released on his podcast feed. I strongly recommend you check out Personal Effects: Sword of Blood for yourself. Now where have I read the main character’s name before…?
