Jeff Offringa’s Journal. Aromathus – My Main Site. Tarn’s Journal – A Serial Story. October 20, 2014, 2:30 pm. Filed under: General Musings. For those of you who have been reading this journal for a while, you might remember that right after last Christmas I posted an entry talking about several genre things I wished to see in 2014. I can now say that one of the things I wished for has come true: to be hooked into a fantasy series by a new author in the way I remember being in hooked in the past. At this...

Jeff Offringa’s Journal. Aromathus – My Main Site. Tarn’s Journal – A Serial Story. Getting Your Summer Game On. July 14, 2014, 3:47 pm. Filed under: General Musings. Is one of the best shows I have seen in a while, and I don’t know how I missed it the first time! That being said, I am still a proud spec fic fan, and my last few weeks have been filled with various war games (We are currently playing through GMT’s. For a while over the holidays, I’ve hardly played anything but Tetris in over a year. Both ...

Jeff Offringa’s Journal. Aromathus – My Main Site. Tarn’s Journal – A Serial Story. Star Trekking… Across the Universe. February 10, 2014, 3:26 pm. Filed under: General Musings. I made a mistake the other day, one I am normally smart enough not to do: I got involved in an an online debate about the merits of. 8221; utopia, and the premise meant that there was a good possibility of being a Trek political drama for the first time. Look at it logically: OK, sure – Sisko is the Federation’s exper...Or take h...

Jeff Offringa’s Journal. Aromathus – My Main Site. Tarn’s Journal – A Serial Story. May 30, 2013, 9:54 pm. Filed under: General Musings. Recently I have come to what is for me a disturbing conclusion: I am too much of a hero. No, I don’t mean that I am able and/ or willing to strap on a cape and take out some bad guys, or even walk a post with my fellow soldiers in some foreign land. Rather, I am referring to fantasy games. Let me elaborate: I am the person who always. Thus far and no farther! Sigh My fe...

Jeff Offringa’s Journal. Aromathus – My Main Site. Tarn’s Journal – A Serial Story. June 24, 2013, 2:19 pm. Filed under: General Musings. So, no, this isn’t a review of the movie Man of Steel. For the simple reason that I haven’t seen it. I may get around to it when it moves on to the cheap theater, but right now, I’ve heard enough about it to know that I have even less desire to see it than I do Ironman 3 (. Although my lack of interest in that movie comes from a very different set of reasons.). OTOH, p...

Jeff Offringa’s Journal. Aromathus – My Main Site. Tarn’s Journal – A Serial Story. September 30, 2013, 2:13 pm. Filed under: General Musings. Tags: Agents of Shield. First, my thoughts on the show: I liked it more than I thought I would, but I still don’t think it’s a great show. Why? The story itself also seems pretty formulaic and monster-of-the-week-ish to me. Guy gets down on his luck, looks for help and meets crazy scientist, gets super-power as a result. Goes nuts. Heroes step in to st...Yet none ...

Jeff Offringa’s Journal. Aromathus – My Main Site. Tarn’s Journal – A Serial Story. September 8, 2014, 2:44 pm. This is as true (more true? Of Star Trek as anything else. In fact, if I were forced to categorize them, many of the Trek novels I read as a kid would even fall into these categories – placing various characters of the authors creation into romantic encounters with either Kirk or Spock. Oh, right. I didn’t. I nodded off somewhere in there. Sigh. Were of theatrical quality. The new starships...

It is not often these days that I unabashedly and without any reservations recommended a movie. Yet this is the case with. Captain America: The Winter Soldier. For the first time in a long time, I was on the edge of my seat, not able (not even desiring too! Nope A review would take lots of time, and between what I’ve...

Jeff Offringa’s Journal. Aromathus – My Main Site. Tarn’s Journal – A Serial Story. July 29, 2013, 2:51 pm. Filed under: General Musings. Well, it’s been a while since my last post. I could give lots of explanation, but I’ll sum it up: Vacation. In short, I’ve been stockpiling ideas, and should have a heavy dose of posts in the near future. Are hours that I will never get back. Ever. It’s giant robots fighting through a city! Not really. Not really at all. Battletech does have its own conceits, p...Why n...
