I've been playing and replaying the first few levels of Deus Ex: The Conspiracy for ten hour stretches over the past four days because unfortunately, the gameplay is not completely open-ended as claimed. Any secondary objective, body augmentation or weapon mod that is missed cannot be backtracked to from a certain point, and the fact that they ( Read more... )

Rather than watch anime as planned, Linda, Pat and I watched Monster at the Coliseum by Square One last night. It was really quite good, with lots of sticky morals and human characters, but there was something bothering me throughout. In the words of the recently resurrected Filthy Critic, "Fat girls are okay too, says Hollywood, but we won't hire ( Read more... )

It's two hours 'till dawn, and I'm cold and alone. It's times like these when I feel compelled ro re-examine my life, and ask the real questions. Who am I? What does the world think of me? As always, Google provides all the answers ( Read more... )

Julius the tobacco man was finally in today, but I've discovered a peculiar new trend in his behaviour- he wears nothing under his open-collared tobacconist smock anymore. I think it's time to start stocking up ( Read more... )

Last night at work some girl told me the fortress of clothing I'd donned to combat the bitter cold combined to make me resemble a nazi. I had to spend the rest of my shift looking out for her and goose-stepping with my arm outstretched whenever she came within view. My arm hurts. Upon arriving home I set about culling my links folder and came ( Read more... )

We decided to meet and do our usual thing at Charles' place, but his sister turned out to have ( Read more... )

This weather is just rediculous. A few hours ago I opened my window, geared my fan to capacity, and lay down with one thin blanket to speed up the process of nodding off, (I sleep easier in cold conditions) but it looks like these efforts to remain cool on 29th of Fucking December weren't up to the task, because I find myself waking up bathed in ( Read more... )

As a christmas present to you all, I finally sat my ass down and signed up for a new Hotmail account so that those in search of me won't have to haunt my workplace or smell my apartment building. Microsoft didn't make it easy for me, rejecting an elephantine list of name submissions including (in sequential order ( Read more... )

I'm wrapping christmas presents in bed. So far I've wrapped the presents that will belong to Linda and her three young relatives whose names I forget, because those people are the most likely to attempt to grab a premature peek. I also wrapped a box of Midol to give to a mega turbo harpy I work with ( Read more... )
