Oh blogging, I kind of miss when all my friends blogged and we fed off of each other's creativity and drama and posted daily. I'm not pining for all of that anguish that came with those days, but times are a lot less busy now. Still we go out and hang out with a friend or two, but there's no constant interaction like high school. I do like the ( Read more... )

This castle conflicts me. The shadows hunt me, but my lantern is both comfort...and bait. I aroused the suspicion of a walking potato sack by rummaging for lantern fuel in a closet, when it approached misshapen demonic features revealed themselves. I sprinted away, dashing into room after room, then dashing into an ajar door. Turning swiftly to ( Read more... )

We lie in dark times, where all men shave. This is obviously the plot of East Coast fat cat patsies, who want to disguise their scheming by not having beards to stroke. Without beard-stroking, it was once thought, scheming was impossible. Not so with special bearded servants to serve as surrogate man-manes. A depraved act from diseased minds, no ( Read more... )

The recent debacle over map moderation concerning Starcraft II is a natural side-effect of the longterm plan for the game, another side-effect of which is the mundanity and unpolished nature of the single player campaign narrative. Blizzard has decided that the focus of the game shall be the multiplayer. To this end it is only natural that they ( Read more... )

There's so many festivals around in Seattle, really wish I had the spare change to check them out. I also expensively discovered that I only like guacamole when presented deeply nestled in the midst of burritos. I have to wonder if it's the association with burritos that has been convincing me I like the stuff. But by itself, or on chips, I am not ( Read more... )

It kind of looks like we've finally caught a lucky break! You see, since we moved in during renovation, we got a staggering discount. That renovation has since ended, so the worrying conclusion is that the discount would, as well. Looks like that's not to be, we've impressed ourselves on the landlord as upstanding folk, and been extended a very ( Read more... )

I am so glad that Blizzard has recanted their decision to lay bare the full names of everyone who posts on their forums. The people who argue that it's not a big deal, that none of us are important enough to stalk, 12-32% of women and 4-17% of men are stalked during their lifetime. 200,000 Americans are victims of stalking right now. A famous ( Read more... )

This laptop is passively annoying. Somehow having a battery attached to it means that even plugging it into a wall is not enough to keep it on, but taking it out means wall-power is good enough. Snooty battery. Then, the keyboard seems to go wonky and spit out ESC repeatedly to the computer, but only once a day. Finally, Microsoft seems to have ( Read more... )

I'm fascinated that the UK politicians appear to misdirect mudslinging and harsh criticism through their affiliated newspapers, instead of being seen spitting vitriol themselves. It elevates the dignity of officials in a zero-sum fashion by equally denigrating the newspaperman. Although, that sort of politicizing and demogoguery (sic) has taken ( Read more... )

I had felt the scratching on my jaw and it annoyed me, so I felt an urge to shave. I did so, with a new razor even. Then, later, I felt annoyed at my jaw and felt the urge to shave, but when I ran my hand over my cheek, it was smooth and not bothering me. My dissatisfaction had outlived the cause, without lessening ( Read more... )
