Update Update May 31st, 2015

Due to circumstances far, far, far beyond my control, I have to make this my 4th post in May, and I have to move the fifth and sixths posts to being in June, instead of in May. 
I can't give much detail, unfortunately, but I am committed to getting those extra/make-up posts in as soon as possible. 

Life Update May 2015

So, once again, I completely forgot about blogging for most of the month.  I remembered earlier this week, but I didn't get to it until now.  I did manage to remember, earlier in the month, while at work, to jot down some sudden short story notes, because they popped into my head, so I'll crank those out tonight.  I need to double-check, but I think that I have 4, which should cover 4 of the remaining 5 posts for this month. 
I've also got a big thing happening this coming week.  I'll say more after it happens.  

Life Update April 2015

So, life's crazy right now.  I've still got that move coming up (it got delayed somewhat), so I haven't really had a chance to think this month.  I'm going to defer one of this month's posts to May, in addition to the one from March, so May will have 6 posts. 
Oh, and, probably related to the above, I totally forgot about that whole Flash Fiction Friday thing, so there's that.  Well, I've got notes scribbled down for a story, so I'll write that tonight. 
More info after the move!  @_@

I Owe You a Post

I'm going to put a bonus post in either April or May (not sure yet - depends on life stuff) to make up for the lack of a proper 4th post now.  Normally, I wouldn't do this, but I've got way too much IRL stuff to worry about that now. 

Life Update March 2015

So here I am, updating on the last day of the month again.  It kind of snuck up on me this time, actually.  I've got a ton of stuff going on in real life.  I don't want to get too much into the details, but at some point coming soon I have both travel and an actual move, so I've been super busy preparing.  I do have a short story idea, so I'm going to write that one tonight, and that leaves me with one other blog post to get to my 4 for the month. 
And yes, this also means that most of April's posts won't happen until late April.  :-\

Mythology Progress?

I know that it's been a long-ass time since I wrote on the whole Greek mythology thing, but I thought that I should at least announce that I'm also planning on getting back to it.  I'm not sure how much will get done in March, since, per my previous post, I've got an entertainment focus then, but I'm definitely going to work on it at least a little. 
Sorry for the short post, but it didn't really fit in the previous post. 

Entertainment Plans: March 2015

In case anyone was wondering, I haven't made any Pokémon progress at all lately.  What little time I've spent on the handheld has been on Pokémon shuffle, largely because of its whole heart recharge system.  It's a fine little match-3 game, but I'm not writing to talk about that today.
I realized that, even for my personal entertainment, I won't get anything done unless I specifically set out to to it.  These aren't exactly great aspirations, but I figured that I'd post them here, for what it's worth.  For one thing, I'm hoping to make March be the month that I finally re-play Myst.  For another, I'm hoping to watch some anime.  I haven't watched anime in ages.  I've got one on loan, and I'm hoping to watch any one of a short list of other anime.  (Maybe I'll post details once I decide what to watch.)  Furthermore, in addition to those, I saw the first few episodes of Gankutsuou AGES ago, and saw them again slightly fewer ages ago, but I figure that I can set aside some time and actually watch the whole thing.  (For the curious, Gankutsuou is currently available, both subbed and dubbed, on Funimation's YouTube channel.) 
Oh, and I suppose that I'll have to make some more progress on Pokémon, too.  ;)

New Year's Resolutions 2015

I never got around to finalizing my resolution list for this year, so here it is. 

• 4 blog posts per month - This is still hard, so I'm not increasing it.  
• Flash Fiction Friday, the 3rd Friday of each month (with that Saturday as a backup), starting in February - I totally forgot this month, but I had a scheduling conflict, anyway.  
• Finish first stage of research into Greek mythology - This means something specific to me, but I'm being vague here.  
• Follow my exercise schedule - The schedule itself might change, as needed, but I've got one currently, and so far I'm managing to keep to it.  
• Beat Myst again - OK, I forgot last year, but I definitely want to do it this year.  
• I'm also hoping to beat at least 1 other game in this series.  They're not exactly long, but I've got to get around to doing them.  
• Beat Pokémon OR/AS - This means beating the Elite 4, but I have, like, no progress on this so far.  -_-

The list that you guys get to see is short this year, but I highly expect to get all of them done this year. 

Flash Fiction Fridays?

Though I don't have all of my 2015 resolutions ready, I do know that "blog 4x/month" will be on the list, since I still struggle with that.  However, I'm also hoping to add some regularity by specifically posting a sudden short story on the 3rd Friday of each month, with the next day as a backup day if  I'm busy that night. 
Hopefully, this will prevent me from going long stints without writing, since I'll go no more than a month between stories.  This will also at least partially mitigate the last-minute factor of my meeting my self-set quota. 
This should also mean more stories,  overall, which should make my fan happy.  ;)

2014 Wrap-Up

Well, I never made a Minecraft mod, and I never got around to playing LEGO Indiana Jones, though I probably will in January. 
On review, it turns out that LEGO Indiana Jones wasn't on my 2014 resolution list.  Well, I still want to do it at some point, since I do own it. 
Beating Myst again (after so many years) won't happen this year, unless I manage to squeeze that in tomorrow, which is unlikely. 
I did at least get into Minecraft for a while, though I haven't played in months. 
I did beat the Elite 4 in Pokémon X, but I didn't manage to catch 'em all. 

As far as blogging 4 times per month goes, I've got a note for each of 2 sudden short stories, so I just need to type those up to bring me to 3 this month, and then I need one more topic somewhere....
