So, here's the deal... originally I had planned on letting you all have part in on some crazy, dark place in the back of my head and how it works, maybe even explain how it comes up with all those shenanigans and whatnot... buuut... as Sunday was more of a content update ... or at least a content-filler... I'll switch it up for you and give you something else entirely.
Apples.
You may now wonder... apples?
Uhm.... that's why -> Apples
Do yourself a favor though and turn down the volume ... its rather loud... and might be disturbing for ... uhm... younger audience(?)
In any case... enjoy your apples...
And as always thanks for reading,
Marc, nope... not a bro-nie
P.S.: For those of you who might actually be wondering and waiting for some actual stuff..., fear not, there will be more, and you might want to check out Sunday's post on all that, if you haven't already.

[SUM] All scheduled up!
Well hello there everybody and welcome to the first post of October and with the new month also the new 'system' I try to get running for this blog.
You see the thing I did with the title? Yeah, I guess you did. I'm trying to indicate that this here post is a 'Short-Update-Madness' post - hence SUM as an abbreviation before the actual title I chose.
Some of you might be asking yourself right now, why I'm trying to commit to such shenanigans all of a sudden. Well the answer to that is quite simple as it stands right now:
The blog is now up and running for nearly half a year and in all honesty, a schedule for the updates of this blog would not necessarily be needed at the time being, even if it somewhat pains me to admit that. (But we all know that the first (few) year(s) is(/are) always the hardest!) Yet on the other hand it is a great way of getting the updates more frequently onto the site, plus they offer a kind of topic differentiation on top of that. And that is just what I want to achieve.
To give you a general idea of my plans for the future, in other words the schedule:
Monday ---
Tuesday 'Short-Update-Madness'
Wednesday 'Beni's Kitchen' (every 3 to 4 weeks)
Thursday ---
Friday 'Storytime'
Saturday ---
Sunday 'Random Bloggy Stuff'
The next thing to ask and wonder is of course what to expect from the various topics.
'Short-Update-Madness' will include - as the name hints on - short updates on what I'm currently working on, planning to do concerning my stories as well as this here blog - therefore this post fits perfectly into my plan.
'Beni' Kitchen' which will supposedly sneak its way onto the site every three to four weeks - contents completely up to the bear (yet this 'column' will not start directly tomorrow).
'Storytime' is going to be something special for you guys and girls reading my blog... at least I hope so. Which means starting this week I plan on uploading one Flash-Fiction with a length of approximately 400 to 500 words each Friday. So just as the name suggests - each Friday a new story for you.
And finally, the 'Random Bloggy Stuff' is reserved for the Sundays of the year. I'll use that as a place to ... well... express all the random bloggy stuff I feel I want to publish.
(On a side note: the Kittens will not be affected by the schedule - they'll just be put online whenever I feel like it - just as before.)
This should give an idea of what I'm planing. Currently I still have a head start concerning the flash fiction, so that part shouldn't give me any troubles getting this all started and in gear.
There you have it, my first 'Short-Update-Madness' in the new format, this time mainly focused on the blog itself. Concerning the stuff I'm working on... 'Loner's Peak' is going strong, with all the re-editing and rewriting as I go through stuff written a few days ago. Still I'm only barely half-way through it (yeah that's how much time I wasted already... at least it feels that way for me... darn it... I probably need a deadline as I currently don't have one).
I also got a single page for the first chapter of 'Nightingale' done on an evening I just couldn't really come to a rest. And why not directly write it down? For safe-keeping or whatever...
I still do not plan on working on those two projects simultaneously though - and I really need to get 'Loner's Peak' done.
That should be all for just now.
As always thanks for reading!

A night (with)out (all the dreamy-weamy stuff)
Five days and roughly 10,000 to 11,000 words later I can say without feeling too lazy: 'Loner's Peak' is growing nicely. And I don't see this stopping anytime soon.
As the plot of the story develops ... and I end up with another night of insomnia, my head starts running off into different other directions, successfully keeping me from focusing too much onto one story, which is - in fact - a good thing.
I came up with a few lines for stories following up after the 'trilogy'. It's a shame I still don't have a name for them as a whole, but yeah... sooner or later I'll find one I like. It's only a matter of time.
But we can't just leave it all behind every time like this guy did last night, can we?
*~*
[..]
[..]
*~*
But I guess this is a somewhat different and... well, more difficult case all in all when compared with the pathetic little insomniac streaks I sometimes have.
Something totally different: Now that the story progresses like this, it will be harder to find excerpts to post without including too many spoilers. I'll be trying to prevent this kind of "over-sharing" as good as possible, but still give a short peak onto the story from time to time.
Related to that I'm currently looking into getting a schedule started, trying to get this site here a little bit more organized and stuff, ya know? So look forward to that. My beloved 'short-update-madness' will definitely be a part of it.
But that's once again all for just now.
As always thanks for reading.

Shirley also was there later on. Had her usual shift with the usual people sitting at her bar.
She didn’t look quite as happy to see me at first, but as normally she opened up as the evening progressed. Even did her usual show after getting an over-the-edge tip from someone, raising the top. Sure gets people fired up, buying more, giving even larger tips... She knows she’ll get none from me though. And she stopped tryin’ on that a long while ago.
I don’t have the money... [..]

The Veil of Secrecy drops...
...like the curtain made of lead that he/she/it is (and tragically hits the participants feet).
Let's make this a part of the short-update-madness series in which I give you an idea of what we had in mind for these secret-ridden summer holidays and of what it turned out to be.
First the interesting part - what we wanted to do:
The original plan was something alongside this: taking bus or train to Oberwiesenthal (southern Saxony, Germany - near the Fichtelberg for those interested in foreign(?) geography) and then walking to Kap Arkona (the northern-most piece of land of Rügen (large Island north of Germany) in about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks time.
This would have summed up to about 540 km (roughly 335 miles) on foot.
What happened:
Neither the weather nor the health of the participants seemed to agree to this little venture of ours, so despite the thorough preparations that had been made for this trip - we decided to cancel it after a few days time. For the better of all - or something on the lines of that.
What came after the first failure:
Waves of depression... nah... just kidding - we were a bit down for a few days, as it usually is when facing defeat like this, especially after the high hopes that we had for this whole thing, but we quickly came up with a new idea.
What it turned out to become:
We chose a different means of travel - the by far easier sounding one: car ... BUT ... it really only sounds easier.
So now we are going about the length of a daily route we had in mind by car and are having a good look at the local sights. Although the really interesting, or rather the really depressing thing about this all is how godforsaken some regions turn out to be...
I'm sitting here, just after having finished breakfast in a small... well... tiny village in midst of Brandenburg, roughly 40 km north of Berlin and yeah... You could say there is nothing around here. Just a big cloud of nothing.
To be fair south of Berlin was worse - and it's kinda funny when finding out that a road which is even found on larger road maps turns out to be nothing but a way made of sand and clay leading through a forest (and yes - it really was the right track - it even had the signs pointing out this thing was supposed to be the right road)... so good times to be had by all
On the bright side of it all - this way I've got a lot more time to go through my previously done writing and to get on to new stuff. I finished a timeline for the events previous to the storyline of Loner's Peak yesterday and I intend to upload this in a few days, or at the latest when I'm back home again.
There ya go and there I go for now.
Thanks for reading, I'm off for the day. Onwards! TO THE NORTH! *smacks the none-existing horse*
As always thanks for reading.

P.S.: Internet connection too slow to upload a new kitteh... maybe in a few days or so...

Dabbling with things unknown to me...
... or well, at least I don't really have too much insight in.
Therefore... SING TO ME MY MINIONS! *aaaaaahhhhhhh*
So after having finished whining, I've decided to have a look at something totally different today, which being ... you guessed it ...music. And believe me I can't read notes nor even hit a single one when trying to sing, though due to my auditory nature listening to it is something dear and important to me (...can't stand total silence for most of the time).
What made me come up with this was my recent discovery of the 30 Day Song Challenge Facebook page. So I had a look at the rules page, came up with a list of fitting songs and started posting away. Unfortunately I won't be able to keep it up for the full 30 days, because I probably won't be able to access the interwebs for a few weeks in the nearer future (details on that coming soon). But 'sometimes-smart' lil' me came up with the perfect solution for my problem.
I'll just post the list right here (with links to y/t hoping they'll work for most of you).
For everybody's enjoyment - or whatever you might call it.
Yet a word of warning beforehand: there are some songs from german bands, sometimes with german lyrics, but yeah... live with it and give them a chance.
Here we go:
I'd like to note that I'm usually not that into live vids or recordings, still Youtube.com's not that cooperative when you're living in Germany so sadly I had to pick a few for the list. Except for the live performance of H.I.M. which you'll find in the list - that one's on purpose.
There you go, feel free to start arguing with be about my choises or my taste in music in general if you wish so. Regardless I'd like to say: Kudos to all the artists out there just doing what they want to do and being successful while sticking with it.
I hope you enjoyed this little venture into my taste of music with a lot of songs that actually mean quite a lot to me on most parts.
This would be all for now. And now I'll be getting back to watching the dreamhack coverage as well as the myths and legends that lie dormant within the holy scrolls of marketing management. I've got a test heading towards my way at the end of the week and it should be better to be prepared for that.
More writing stuff once I've got a little bit more time for it. (Which should be rather sooner then later.)
As always, thanks for reading.
Marc, the over-encumbered
P.S.: Moar kittez commin' - hopefully less dead-looking this time.
more seemingly unrelated song-quotes
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".

Hur-bloody-ray
Yes, it's about blood today - my own to be fair.
(I like its color O_o")
No no, nothing too serious, just the usual, which could probably be anything when coming from my mouth (or my fingers typing in this particular case).
Anyways... Pentecost/Whitsun is almost over and with it the weekend. My mother came visiting me together with my little precious aka 'my' cat for these few days and we had a great time ^^ Except for that one moment right at the start when the lil' kitty-cat assaulted my right arm and tried to ripe it to shreds apparently.
I'm still not totally sure what tripped her off at that particular moment but yeah... she turned "normal" during the same evening. But never mind, as I said she's been back to sweet-kitty-mode in no time and the wounds all closed up nicely, now healing away like... *insert stupid flying joke here* or som'thin'. Besides... I manage to cut myself even on raw spaghetti, so...
Yeah ... well that was my weekend. The current chapter's done for 'Loner's Peak' and I'll be getting back to working on it once I don't feel as tired anymore. (The sweet kitty decided to go ahead and wake me almost every hour that one night. It's incredible how loud such a little creature can get if she wants your attention... especially around 3 a.m.)
Uuuuh...let's add that location thingy for added shenanigans... trying new stuff - yeah!
And that's all for now, hope you're all having a great day.
As always thanks for reading,
Marc the freshly scarred due to mad kitty
P.S.: My little desktop-ghoul will be taking care of a new kitty picture for everybody's delight.
P.P.S.: Not his best shot ever, but Ratcarver agreed on the image being posted.

Yeah ... well that was my weekend. The current chapter's done for 'Loner's Peak' and I'll be getting back to working on it once I don't feel as tired anymore. (The sweet kitty decided to go ahead and wake me almost every hour that one night. It's incredible how loud such a little creature can get if she wants your attention... especially around 3 a.m.)
Uuuuh...let's add that location thingy for added shenanigans... trying new stuff - yeah!
And that's all for now, hope you're all having a great day.
As always thanks for reading,
Marc the freshly scarred due to mad kitty
P.S.: My little desktop-ghoul will be taking care of a new kitty picture for everybody's delight.
P.P.S.: Not his best shot ever, but Ratcarver agreed on the image being posted.

Hunting for... er... whatever
...and other shenanigans
Yeah, getting along with hunting for a part-time job, but nothing too exciting to tell you about all that, merely one of the many daring endeavours or whatever you want to call it, that's on my list.
Sadly I'm still a bit under the weather (in this case quite literally) as the current ongoing climate changes from warm to stormy to cloudy to warm again and back to cold and cloudy yet again don't seem to mix well with myself suffering from migraine with an aura.
But meh... it could be worse. The actuall headaches shouldn't start before ... next September, I guess? I kinda got a rather consitent scedule for those. Yet the many side-effects keep on haunting me when the weather conditions start to get all jumpy like during the past weeks. And they truly are persistant...
Concerning "Loner's Peak" I got around to finishing the current chapter yesterday. (not even 12.000 words so far in total :<)
Nevertheless I have for you a short excerpt from the text. Not too much, just a few lines:
***
I already know that I’m going to have to sit around for probably over an hour to come once I arrive at my destination. Another pointless hoop that they let us jump through for nothing but their sole amusement, as they watch from somewhere afar how we blindly follow their orders without ever asking.

Then again... that’s not true.
Once... a rather long time ago, a few years, maybe five or six, somebody asked. It was during the first few weeks that I was on the job. That guy, barely as young as I was. A bit too blunt for his own good and just as new as myself. But my instincts served me right...
He got shot on the spot. Or rather... executed.
A bullet straight to the head. Not much of a fuzz. Quick, but not as clean as they had hoped for. I can’t even recall his name. Only the image of the crimson gushing towards the rest of us.
Since then nobody ever asked again. But I guess sooner or later somebody will be dumb enough to do so. Once this dying memory has been discarded completely. Or at least the people bearing it. The only thing I’m sure of... it won’t be me.

As usual, feel free to comment on this little scrap of text, but keep in mind it's still only a first draft and also please spare me on the "The grammars not right!" and "Those aren't complete sentences!". I'm aware of that and I can assure you... it is indeed intended.
Now finally before I return back to the aether itself... I can't get rid of it! That song's stuck in my head... Damn you Youtube!
As always, thanks for reading,
Marc, the... whatever.
