Genre Talk: Science Fiction

Ursula K. Le Guin

If it can be said that fantasy is defined by containing some element of the fantastic or magic then science fiction is all about the technology. Just like fantasy, though, sci-fi is a lot more than its base elements. There are many different kinds of science fiction that is written for many purposes. The first …

More Fantasy Talk

I know, I know, I said today I would write about Sci-Fi but I didn’t know I would be at that Tina’s house today when I wrote that. I can still write while I am here but I do not feel like I can give the proper attention required for a post on the genre …

Genre Talk: Fantasy

Joseph Campbell

So, this might shock some of you but my favorite genre is fantasy.  I know some of you never saw that coming because I *seem* the type to like fantasy but I think fantasy gets a bad rep. Interjection: before I even begin discussing fantasy I need to lay down one thing. Fantasy and Science …

Oh Thank God it is March

Welcome the fifth month of my crazy experiment. I, for one, am glad that it is no longer February. My visitors dropped in February but I think it is because I finally split up my two blogs and so the traffic has to adjust and I don’t see many people accidentally finding my blog while …

Bai-Bai February

This is my last post of the super wal-mart month. I once again proved that I could bullshit my way through a month worth of blogs about anything. I am still very glad that it is almost March. I have my topic picked out and it is a fairly easy one since next month promises …

Wal-mart Invades the Interwebz

So it is no big secret that Wal-Mart wants to take over the world. It reminds me of the corporation in Wall-E, Buy-N-Large, with its logo on everything. (The rampant consumerism in that movie also reminds me of wal-mart.) Side note: I am about to throw some information at you about Wal-Mart from it’s Wikipedia …

One of Those Days

I am having one of those days. You know, the kind that everything you do is way more complicated than it should be. Things that normal take four steps take six and fifteen more minutes than they need to. I am having THAT day. The lower shelf to my fridge broke while in the bathtub …

The Hardest Part of a Trip to the Super Wal-Mart

First of all, get the immature giggle out for the dirty innuendo. Some people would say the hardest part of any wal-mart trip would be paying at the end. I thoroughly disagree. While I hate the check-out and I normally spend way more than I intend I still think the worst part of any trip …

Did You Find Everything Okay Today?

So one of my more normal jobs was as a cashier at the wal-mart back before it became a super wal-mart. (I just noticed how many of my blogs start with “So blah blag blah.” I am pretty sure that is how I start a lot of conversations. *le shrug*) I think of it as …

The Day After Valentine’s Day

So I went to the super wal-mart today. I was really happy to see all of the Valentine’s Day stuff moved to less prominent positions. It is combined with a happy lack of stupid Valentine’s Day commercials. Yesterday I learned a hard adult truth. When you are young and when you are single you think …
