We met Friday and had a good time! There was a good mix of introverts and extraverts, a lot of common ground, some good munchies, and fast friendships. I felt very quiet, which is funny since I was the common link with everyone there.
As far as the book itself? Well, there’s not much to report, […]
This morning I was in a real funk. I was mulling over the misaligned values I often aware I have, and was feeling real guilt about it. Shadowhelm had linked a clip of Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson talking to Bill Maher about “mortgaging our future”:
I was wondering where it had all […]
I just realized I haven’t even paid rent this month, I’ve been so busy. Thankfully I have a 5 day grace period. What’s worse is I missed the chance to post this. I don’t care, it’s worth it and a nice change of pace from obsessing about death and destruction. In case you’re not familiar, […]
I’m on a bit of a Jonathan Coulton kick at the moment. He’s witty, redheaded, sings, and has a beard. Yay! I’ve seen him in concert, opening for TMBG. (John Flansburgh is producing his next album, by the way.) I even just bought “Everything” from his store because I […]
Almost all of the prints are absolutely gorgeous. They’ll be perfect for the walls of the basement in the dream home.
Looky what I got! Isn’t it awesome? Some friends of mine went to a small anime convention and immediately thought of me when they saw it. So they bought it! I love surprises. In addition to the obvious, this was a nod to my half-orc, XaXa. A couple of their characters lust after XaXa mightily, […]
Today I read a Paste Magazine interview with Felicia Day. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses. She’s unconventional — beautiful, smart, witty and has gorgeous eyes and red hair! Yay! She’s a gamer nerd chick, with smooth pale luminescent skin glowing from lack of pigment and too much computer time. […]
Apparently, I’ve come of age in the blog world! I’ve won a Major Award™. Okay, maybe not, but Apollo passed along The Lemonade Award to me this week. (Sarah also won! She wants pictures of your Chuck Taylors, by the way.)
Assuming we’re all playing the Whisper Game right, The […]
A while back, I was thinking of putting up a summary of what’s happened so far in the Friday night D&D game. Then every Saturday or so, I’d put up a post-game summary. It works for some other blogs I’ve read. I know a few of you quiet ones out there are wondering what’s going […]
Renny Gleeson articulates beautifully my feelings about the current culture surrounding cellphone usage. I freaked out the other day when my kids were pretending to text each other in the middle of an otherwise normal make believe situation. It’s very common for someone to bless me out because I tend to take my time […]
