Compiliing poetry.
I've been compiling poems for the poetry-oake event going on at the end of this month. It's been over 2 hours since I've started, and I'm still not done. I'd forgotten how much I've written. Definately over 100 poems. Maybe as many as 300. I'll probably try to find the date, month, or at least year each piece was written as well. -
the problem with forced factions and trade in MMOs, and how to fix both.
I've been hearing a bit about MMOs from folks from class and on the internet, and I find myself noticing the same apparent problems in the new ones as well.
By not adding a moral punishment/reward system that crosses boundaries and affects trade, MMO worlds will continue to be shallow and result in predictably boring game play, the morally lacking ( Read more... ) -
Windows 7 price points, PSP, and Nailin' Paylin.
Well, Microsoft has announced the price points for the various flavors of Windows 7, and I have to say that I think they're a bit overpriced. I do want to get Windows 7, but considering that we're in the middle of a recession/depression, it seems silly to be pricing so high ( Read more... ) -
It's a shame Apple doesn't sell OSes for PCs.
http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=15362
From the experiences I've had with Apple while doing my degree in graphics, I came to respect a number of elements of the MacOS, but like today, feel it's too bad that you can't get the Apple OS for your own PC (without hacks). Sure, there would be a few hurdles they'd have to overcome if they were ( Read more... ) -
The Cult of the individual.
"Individualism". A concept that is often idolized and worshipped in 'Merika, though I'm guessing definitions differ greatly from person to person ( Read more... ) -
Finite energy and distractability.
I've gone back to school for the summer but am already finding myself concerned about how much the pursuit of relationships may interfere with my energy and focus towards my education.
Can I even invest in much more than casual friendships? Why is it so difficult to follow rational and intellectual lines of thought rather than the impulsive and ( Read more... ) -
When it rains it pours.
Okay, I don't know why, but I suddenly have 2 or 3 attractive and interesting women expressing blatant interest in me. The part that seems awfully ironic is that I usually don't even have ONE being forthcoming about interest... now I'm in a situation where I have choices. It's really unfamiliar territory. I guess maybe I'm reaching a point in life ( Read more... ) -

Histrionic disorder... holy crap, what a terrible disorder ._.
The more research I've done into histrionic disorder, the more I'm thinking I know someone I care for that suffers from it. They've already proven to be a threat to themselves and drive intoxicated often (thus, being a threat to others and themselves). I can't do anything about it, so I've done a fair job about not worrying about it (other than a ( Read more... ) -
Worked hard, and feeling good about it.
This semester, I think I've put forth more effort than I have, and as a result, it looks like I may get "A" grades in both of my classes. I have to write a minor essay and email it to my professer by 5 pm today for the final. As long as I score a 14 (yes, fourteen) out of 100 on it, I'll get an A in my class ( Read more... )
