Holidays Beckon
Going to Greece. Back In November. Slay Many Dragons while I’m gone.
Hope and the unexpected delight
I watch a lot of bad movies. Well, strictly speaking that’s not true. I watch a lot of what most “normal” people would consider bad movies. If there’s a chance of a gunfight, explosion or bloodspatter I’ll watch it. if there are capes flapping in the wind, I’ve probably already seen it. Unfortunately, this means…
The fine art of saying No!
No. Two little letters, one syllable and yet, when it comes to conversation, more difficult to say than antidisestablishmentarialism. Why is it so difficult to say, and, Why is it so important that you learn how to say it? It’s difficult to say No! because we all crave acceptance. Regardless of whether you choose to…
Change is in the air
As you may have noticed, last week there was not a daily post. Now I could claim I got into battle with the Dragon, but that would be a lie. Rather, this is a result of preparation for future Dragon hunts. This change has been building for a while. but it was catalysed during one…
Aspiring Dragon Slayers Wanted
The Dragon Hunting Task Force Needs You. I’ve had it with the Dragon. I’m sick of his taunting, I’m sick of his smug grin. Most of all I’m sick of the way he picks on individuals. I decided enough was enough. It was time to go out Dragon Hunting. In a group. That way, we…

Encounters with the Dragon – Episode VIII – Be Vewwy Quiet, We’re Hunting Dwagons
Last week there was a little burnout. It made me wonder why the Dragon worries about fighting us when we all carry a little Dragon around with us for when the Dragon of Mediocrity isn’t around. We like to pull it out, play with it a little, and then cast doubt on everything we’re doing….
Who You Gonna Call?
It’s been a long time since I didn’t have a post in me. Much is happening, exciting things, and processing everything this week has left me a little strung out. I’m not even able to write a post about dodgy movies, which is strange and bewildering. I started off thinking I would write about Face/Off. …
Virgins, Cows and Sunk Costs
The Dragon is now terrorising the village. There are two options for dealing with him. Sacrifice a Virgin or feed him cows. Sacrificing a virgin will result in the Dragon leaving the village alone for a couple of years, whereas you need to feed him 2 cows a week. The villagers decide. Cows are common,…
