Sentential Links (Page 5)

Because the links Never. Stop. Coming! :: Looks like I need a good cherry pie recipe! (Oooh, that reminds me: I got tart cherries at the farmer’s market the other day, so I gotta take some in with lunch tomorrow. And that deep dish pizza I made yesterday? The onions and peppers and sausage were all local! Yay, me! I’m responsible and stuff!) :: It took thirty years…but when Shirley went off, she took the rest of the building with her. Some claim is was a tumor in her brain but I know it was that desk that drove ShirleyDown the rabbit hole….

Linkin’ my way around Blogistan…. :: Today, I had the image of a chalkboard in mind. Remember, at the end of the day, when it was covered with what had been written, erased, written over? Throughout the day, new information on top of old, learning, more and more. Then, at the end of the day, it would be wiped clean with a wet sponge. It was best if you took time and did it in straight lines, leaving few streaks and a nice, orderly clean board ready for the next day. (Nostalgia note: I don’t particularly miss chalkboards, but IDown the rabbit hole….

Holy crap, it’s been a long time since the last time I did one of these. I know the blog has spent an unfair amount of time on the back burner of late, as I strive to beat Princesses Still In SPACE!!! (not the actual title) into submission, but wow. Anyway, here are some linkworthy links. :: In the similar mode, I’m suggesting a “slow audience response” movement. Please stop talking when the speaker/movie/concert starts, and wait for the event to actually end before fumbling with your keys. You may actually enjoy it better if you are “present” at theDown the rabbit hole….

Linkage! Some of these are new to me, blogs by folks I’ve met through Instagram. :: I’m trying to focus on the things that I want to make habits, to work on finding a less cranky place to come from. Seems a good goal, overall. :: Their story is still being written. Their possibilities are endless. The future is up for grabs, to take and mold it as they please. :: But I struggle with the label of bisexual. For me that implies a desire for that particularly womanly taste and scent, the softness of the curves of the female,Down the rabbit hole….

Linkage! :: It’s also a reminder of how people entertained themselves; they sang and told stories and gathered with friends. In the darkness, I considered calling a friend to see if he wanted to meet me at our local pub; remember, there’s a reason ‘you all begin in a tavern’ makes perfect sense in many game-worlds. For the Cabin Boy and Cabin Girl, the blackout was an adventure; for me, it was a reminder of what my world of adventure is really like. :: Personal responsibility is cool if you can afford it. (Anyone who says that they did itDown the rabbit hole….

It’s time! For Links! And overuse of Exclamation Points!!!!! :: Ending a campaign is a difficult process. One of my games is coming to a close within a month or so, and I’m actually extremely nervous. This current campaign is the final one of three that have taken three years to come to fruition, and now that the end is nigh, I have to worry about making it truly epic and worth the investment my players have put into it. Part of the trepidation comes from the inevitability of The Big Reveal, in which a secret that I’ve hidden cluesDown the rabbit hole….

I have linkage for you. You will click them. And then we will all frolic in the Land of Links! :: If nothing else, that phone call was a valuable reminder that words have power, and the online world is not so insulated from the real world as we all like to believe. (This is a very powerful post…but you have to read his backstory to get it. It’s all very sad, all the way around.) :: Oh, man, Darrin’s bio-dad is just not going to give up on his mission of assholery, is he? I have literally no ideaDown the rabbit hole….

Pilfering more participants from A-to-Z this week…. :: Kind of cheating today, since the letter Q doesn’t exist in the Greek alphabet! So, quests it is (it was a toss up between quests and queens) and I’m going with the quests of Theseus. :: For the challenge this year, I have decided to challenge you. Because I love mathematics codes, and riddles, my 26 posts will test your brain. (Gotta look back on this one….) :: Admittedly, one of Marvel’s more….strange…as well as obscure characters. I think this one might be the most obscure of the whole twenty-six I plannedDown the rabbit hole….

Again, I’m going to rely on the master list of A-to-Z blogging participants for this week’s linkage. Check them out! There’s a lot of good stuff being done out there in Blogistan. Anyone who says that blogging is dead isn’t paying attention, and anyone who ignores personal blogs is losing out on a lot of great insight and writing. Links! :: Liripipe noun [lir-ee-pahyp] – a hood with a long, hanging peak, worn originally by medieval academics and later adopted for general wear in the 14th and 15th centuries. :: I love writing fantasy.
