It's time to close this journal. The Web has matured a lot in the six years since I wrote my first entry here, and so have I. If I could meet the person I was back then, I think we'd get along poorly. Fortunately, men are malleable, and no-one is stuck forever with the person they are ( Read more... ) -
Green Lantern
This weekend I watched Green Lantern at my local theater. It's not the movie to end all superhero movies, but it did a few things most reviews seemed to skip over, which I thought were worth pointing out ( Read more... ) -
This was so close to being a great idea (My review of Inkheart)
(Normally my book reviews are short and not worth cross-posting from Amazon to LiveJournal, but this one might spark some interesting discussions and might entertain those who've read the book. Enjoy!)
I really liked the premise behind Inkheart: the idea that certain people have the magical ability to read characters and objects out of well-loved ( Read more... ) -
"Holmes vs. Moriarty! Aristotle vs. MASHY SPIKE PLATE!"
The semester has wrapped up, and let me tell you, it has been a ride. People are a trip. I like 'em. Lots getting done over here; I'm making excellent progress toward graduation, getting to know lots of people, and having some unforgettable experiences ( Read more... ) -
From the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
A priest, making the rounds of his parish on Easter Eve, and sprinkling holy water in the houses as is customary, came to a painter's room, where he sprinkled the water on some of his pictures. The painter turned round, somewhat angered, and asked him why this sprinkling had been bestowed on his pictures; then said the priest that it was the ( Read more... ) -
"Where...where did I go wrong? My poor hairs!"
I'm presently watching "Dennou Coil", an anime about kids who live in a town where everyone wears augmented-reality glasses which allow them to interact with a virtual "space" laid over the physical one. It's a very unique premise for a TV show; as anime goes, this one's pretty good.
Anyway, in episode 12, [EPISODE SPOILERS FOLLOW] after ( Read more... ) -
Cooking with James
Step 1: Resolve that this year, you're going to make use of the Crock-Pot you purchased on a whim when you moved into your apartment four months ago and which hasn't been so much as plugged in since.
Step 2: Find some Crock-Pot recipes online. Pick one that looks easy:

Sit up straight or the Devil will steal your backbone and lash you with it for the rest of eternity.
Those of you who aren't following me on dA or Twitter have likely been entirely unaware of how extraordinarily productive I've been over the last few months! This post should get you caught up. ( Cut for graphics ) -
Three things that Mass Effect 2 taught me about life
Life at college is good! I'm gradually making friends and avoiding the mistakes that I made the first time around. I'm starting a D&D group on campus this Saturday--extremely excited about that; will keep you apprised.
I'm on my third playthrough of Mass Effect 2, which is probably a record for any videogame. It's surprising how much depth ( Read more... ) -
Fic: Sealed Memories [Mass Effect 2]
For my second playthrough of the Mass Effect games, I created a female Shepard with the "Sole Survivor" background. While Sherp Shepard, my first character, is a straight avatar of me, for the new character I decided to come up with a firm background and psychology and try to role-play what she would do in each situation. And, wouldn't you know ( Read more... )
