So this movie called The Cabin in the Woods came out recently, and tons of my friends -- people I love, respect and have many of the same opinions on entertainment -- are thrilled to see it, and are also telling me I need to see it. I know Joss is involved with it (love him). I know Drew Goddard is involved in it (adore him). I know Amy Acker is in ( Read more... )

I stopped by LJ today to reference an old post as to why I've not seen a lot of movies, and I was wondering, are y'all still using this thing? I mean most of my little rants are on Facebook and crap now, and I have a focus space game blog called Space Game Junkie where much of my blogging happens, but I've not felt compelled to write here in ages.

We all have milestones in our lives...moments when our lives may change, for better or for worse, that we'll always remember. For me, the entire year of 2006 was pretty much one huge milestone made up of several very important events that have changed my life for the better, and I realized the other day that it's been five years since that decisive ( Read more... )

So today I'm getting my apartment bug bombed to deal with roaches and pantry bugs. Nicole yesterday helped me take everything out of the kitchen cabinets and the bedroom closets, which wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. I, on the other hand, was worried about my male tuxedo cat, Harry, who is very skittish and loves to hide under my bed.

We ( Read more... )

Twelve years ago, I began what would be one of the greatest journeys of my life. I began writing for a small online video game magazine, unpaid and in my spare time. I loved it. I dedicated as much of time time and energy as I could. I pretty much lived and breathed video games, and writing about them. Eventually this led to a full-time gig as a ( Read more... )

Sigh, today was a really weird day. T'was my last day at work after being told I was going to be laid off two weeks ago, so I was feeling really emotional. In the midst of that had to go to an interview (which I'm not sure about, since one of the two interviewers had "concerns" about my abilities which are fairly focused). It wasn't easy going to ( Read more... )

Hey kids, if y'all are in the LA area, then let me invite you to our third annual charity screening of Dr. Horrible and The Guild on Saturday, October 30th! Click here for more info and to buy tickets! Hope to see you there. :)

So it's been about two years since I got my last tattoo (December, 2008), and I think it's time to get my next one, so I've already got it planned out. Thanks to the help of a Chinese calligrapher that my friend Erika -- who has nearly two dozen tattoos her own self -- recommended, I've now got the proper symbols for the following words:

• Serenity
• ( Read more... )

So I've not posted here in a while, sadly. I could blame it on the instant gratification-ness of Twitter and Facebook, but that's not it really? LJ is more, I think, for longer, more detailed posts that go beyond mere character limits, and lately I just felt like I've not had much to say. Not sure why, I'm a pretty chatty fellow, but lately I've ( Read more... )

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you know I've been gushing about my new 2008 Honda Fit Sport (named the Resolute) which I got last Thursday after returning the Sentra back to Nissan, so I felt the need to write one big blog post to just get it all out there. ;) I've driven the thing allll over SoCal, from the south bay to the Valley, and ( Read more... )
