PixlBit

My first indie wrestling show was Inspire Pro Wrestling’s Ecstasy of Gold II. I was instantly taken with it, and have since become a big fan of the Texas indie scene. There were a ton of wrestling stand-outs that night, including Athena (you probably know her as Ember Moon) and this HUGE dude with an absolutely punishing power bomb by the name of Keith Lee.  He was announced as hailing from the moon. “The literal moon.” There were a lot of people that made a great impression that night, and he was definitely one of the big ones.

Well, here we are at the end of BaD. I’m really glad I did this. I think it helped knock the writing rust off, and the support of the PixlBit community helped me to take a big chance and apply for my dream job. I don’t have a big blog for this final one, but it should be a fun one.

It was a busy and productive weekend. Also, tomorrow is the last day of BaD! I made it! Er, barring some unforeseen occurrence, that is.

Since my earlier post about not feeling worthy of applying at Giant Bomb I have had a change in heart. I owe this in large part to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from people here at PixlBit, on Twitter, and my girlfriend. After I wrote that blog I woke up the next day thinking that I would never forgive myself if I didn’t at least give it a shot.

When it comes to reading, I’ve spent most of my time with fantasy and sci-fi. I have fond memories of The Belgariad by David Eddings, The Council Wars by John Ringo, Piers Anthony’s Xanth series, and of course stuff like the pre-Disney Star Wars novels and Harry Potter. I’ve read a lot over the years, but recently I’ve come to appreciate non-fiction.

I realized today that I haven’t talked much about video games lately on this website about video games. I will rectify that…now!

So, they are hiring for a new editor at Giant Bomb. For those who listen to Nerds Without Pants, you know how much I adore the Giant Bomb crew. I would LOVE that job. I think I could do that job. I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting that job.

I have always loved going to the movies. That was true as a kid, and remains so today. I know so many people prefer to wait for movies to come out on DVD or Netflix, because TVs are so big and vibrant now, and you don’t have to wait in line or deal with people, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I had something gaming to write about today, but then I remembered what day it is. I’m losing time lately. Not in a blacking out kind of a way, but in a days running together kind of way.

Just a quick one today, I think. I had a much better day than yesterday. Did some errands, went for two walks, and got some stuff done around the house I needed to do. I still didn’t cook my meal prep stuff, but that’s at the top of the list for tomorrow. I wish I had more of a taste for fruit and veggies. I can do salads, but snacking on fruit or eating lots of vegetables with meals has never been easy for me, and that’s so important for being healthy and losing weight.
