reenactorNet

This would be the blog of one Marshall J. Wise or "Marsh" to my friends -- it's "Marshall" to the company or others of that ilk. Anywho, this be just my thoughts and bloviations on life, reenacting, the world and other thoughtless provoking crap. Yes, I am a reenactor, yes, I own reenactor.Net... Remember: work to live, not live to work.

*(and yes, look up the word bloviate on google)

Hmmm, "about me" huh? It's kind of boring. I'm a truck driver hauling U.S. Mail for a Postal Contractor (I was a manager for them, but it became a misery-fest and I felt (and still do) that I was being taken advantage of... at least NOW I have time off). Reenacting Lessee, I am into reenacting... WWI, WWII and Roman. Doing the first two, I portray a German (no, I don't care one bit if you're offended), in the last, I do a 1st Century Roman impression. I find the Roman Empire fascinating. r.Net I have owned reenactor.Net (the biggest reenactor website on the planet) since 1998 and am constantly trying to make it better (for that, I really need 37 hour days). One good thing about r.Net is it allows me to meet and know a lot of really great and nice people who's knowledge just leaves me floored. How I think... Do you really care about how I think? I'm kind of a dork... If you read the blog, you'll see how I think (or don't think, if you listen to a lot of people).

Started it is!

Finally, I did some real work on the WWII section... it's not all linked together, but the main WW2 pages are there, plus all the Allied pages and Axis Main. I'm too tired to keep after it. Will work on that tomorrow. It's just labor-intensive :-0 However, saying all that, it's not so hard, mainly a lot of search-and-replace in the code I am transferring over -- you just have to get that right or it's ALL messed up.

What else?
I dunno... we had chili tonite. Watched the series finale of M*A*S*H as it was on and I really needed a break. Kind of wierd looking at it... you see sooo many 70-isms and stuff. Plus, being a reenactor-geek, I see ALL the farbisms (besides long hippy hair on 1950's American military) and Wee hates me going on about stuff like that :-0 Kinda like Cross of Iron with the long 70's hair... a great movie that needs CGI haircuts real bad.

Battlestar Galactica
Galactica last night was interesting. They seem to just be going off on some wierd tangent. I wonder if it will all end with Zac Adama getting out of a shower and it all being a bad dream of Starbucks?? Ron Moore couldn't get away with that nowadays as this kind of thing is considered old and hackneyed. Who's the final Cylon? I'm betting on Gaeta... kinda seems that way, but I bet it's too obvious. Cottle maybe or a real kicker would be Bill Adama. Or the President... We shall see -- in TWO weeks, of course... isn't that bunch of crap how they do that when a series is winding down... hey, Sci-Fi, you idiots... I'm not gonna watch your other crap in the mean time. I hate corporate hacks.

Town
Was going to go to town to pay my rent and get my meds, but couldn't get a hold of my landlord. Will go to his work tomorrow. Then on to Wally World with the $4. prescriptions (probably made in China, but who can afford US made?). Shopping at Wal-Mart is like bills, you just sweep the thought under a mental rug and don't look at it. You'd like to shop somewhere else, give the money to Americans, but it's kinda hard when everywhere else is sooooo expensive. You know what I mean.
