Turkey time
Although I wish a very Happy Columbus Day to my American friends, today is actually Thanksgiving Day in Canada. And, when I look at all the scary things and injustices that are going on in the world, I'm most thankful for the fact that all my worries are relatively petty ones in comparison. -
Life is good
On the whole, I'm actually doing rather well. Nothing notably good or bad has been happening lately, which is probably why I haven't posted often. I was just so amused (and annoyed) at my ability to chip my tooth while eating salad that I had to post ( Read more... ) -

Re-re-release
I've been thinking. Many of us, if not all of us, mocked George Lucas when he was continually re-releasing the original Star Wars trilogy. New scenes! New graphics! Digitally remastered! THX enough to crumble the foundations of the movie theatre! Why, we wondered, could he not just let it go ( Read more... ) -
Tweet?
My mother wants me to get on Twitter. -
Two screens, twice the fun?
I broke down and bought Chrono Trigger for the DS. I felt silly since I still own it for the PlayStation, but I know I'll get use out of it on the bus. (And the loading time of the PS version won't put me off this one ( Read more... )
