April Links

OK, so it's May 10. Sorry. Here are the links from April.

APRIL 1 - If you need some help with next year's April Fool's Day, try this.
APRIL 5 - Join here and pick up books for free! (I joined a few years ago, but I haven't ever really done much with it)
APRIL 7 - Ever notice how many twins there are in the entertainment industry? No? Well, here are some comparisons.
APRIL 14 - If you would like to know what would happen if an asteroid of any size were to hit the earth at any speed, and the chances of this, check here.
APRIL 18 - Be a monkey, kick a ball. My personal best is 4547 meters.
APRIL 19 - Call 'em aphorisms, call 'em cliches - fine 'em here.
APRIL 26 - People laugh at me because I like to keep up with how many days old I am (10738). Well, apparently, I'm not the only one.
APRIL 30 - Everything you never really wanted to know, and probably still won't!

So there. Go back and see the March links if you want.

Ambushed

A new one on Bloglish Tales...it's called "Ambushed", and part I can be found here. Whenever I watch one of those stupid hidden camera shows, I feel very sorry for the people who are the victims. I see them getting humiliated on national television, and they're just supposed to laugh and be a good sport about it. I can't imagine the extra humiliation they get from people that know them. So, I wrote this story about a victim, and tried to present the negative effect the show had on his life. It's probably a little dark for some people, but there you go. Some of the pranks I originally came up with did not make it into the published draft, either because they were stupid, or obvious, or plagiarized from other sources. I hope the final result is at least semi-original (thanks to my wife for helping me with the taxi scene, which was really dumb in my original outline).

It seems like I've been doing more with Bloglish Tales than any of my other blogs lately. I did just post a new list in the Eleven, but I haven't done anything with Hamville or the Game Zone in a while. I think with Hamville, I'm just recharging my creative juices with other projects. With the Game Zone, I'm trying to find other games I can use. It doesn't help when most of the games in books don't work for the population I want them to work for.

Yet another Bloglish Blog

I just don't know when to quit. I'd like to announce the launching of the newest member of the Bloglish family, Bloglish Tales. It will feature my story writing, mostly because I think this is the only way I'll ever get published. The full script for The Adventures of Captain Obvious is there, and I've started a new story, The PC Viper Chronicles. It's Chapter One, because I think it may turn into a larger work. However, I think there will be six or seven parts to this first chapter.

The blog itself will probably not be updated very often unless I have an ongoing story. I'll try to let you know here if there's a new story beginning. Happy reading.

Another addition to the Bloglishsphere

Give a big welcome to The Bloglish Game Zone, just launched today. This is dedicated to group games, and is specifically geared towards special education. The games can be used with higher functioning children, but I'm trying to organize games that can be used with special populations.

BBL RIP

Yep, the BBL is no more. I tried, but I can't keep up with it. Sorry to anyone who cared.

Hamville and Eleven are up and running

Two more blogs have been added the the Bloglishsphere...the Bloglish Dining Guide to Hamville, and the Bloglish Eleven. Hamville is a town whose main claim to fame is the wide array of fantastic restaurants. The first restaurant discussed in the BDG is the Global Village, so go check it out. The Bloglish Eleven is a chance for me to make lists of my favorite things, and each list will have eleven items. You got a taste of this with the 11 Jack Bauer facts a few days ago, and you'll get more by visiting the Bloglish Eleven. Why eleven, and not ten? My first list explains. You can get the links under the link heading, or through my profile. Thanks for visiting!

The BBL is underway!

A plug for another project I'm working on - the first series of the Bloglish Baseball League is up for your viewing pleasure. I hope you find it at least a bit interesting...I'm going to see if I can get through a whole season. The link is under the links area, or you can get there through my profile. Enjoy.
