Halloween was yesterday - I did very little for it, but had a good time anyway! I enjoyed the radio stations having an excuse to play the Ghostbusters theme on the radio. I bought a bag of candy I was almost certain wouldn't be needed, and my theories were proven true - which means I'll probably be using it to barter for my character's life at my ( Read more... )

Having returned from my (relatively brief) absence with a meme, of all things, I decided it might be good to put up something of substance.

So... life. I've been doing a sizable amount of reading lately. I've started making use of libraries again (rather than buying books I don't need whenever I feel the craving for a good story.) I've been ( Read more... )

 I am confident I will know dorks who find this PDF interesting. I am happy to say I don't understand most of the math going on in there, but seeing this sort of study down with this sort of subject matter really does seem the height of dorkdom, and I can appreciate that.

Back from DragonCon!

Despite the convention starting off with some snags, between poor organization and some unpleasant gaming, things turned around by the end of the weekend - one of the advantages to having so much going on packed into a reasonably small amount of time.

This was the first year I flew, rather than driving down. That was somewhat ( Read more... )

I've been catching up on a number of Discworld books (the Tiffany Aching series) that had somehow thus far escaped my notice. And as I've been reading through them, I've come to realize that Terry Pratchett is a really good writer.

Now, this seems an odd realization to be arriving at, or at least one that seems to have come late, considering the ( Read more... )

I realized, with some surprise, that this has been an altogether disheartening year for my hobbies, at least thus far. My interest in WoW has been steadily declining, and I've discovered myself disappointed with the game on pretty much every level. I have become disillusioned with the raiding paradigm, I have become frustrated with the mechanics ( Read more... )

I've spent a downright sizable portion of this week seeing movies - and, surprisingly, it has been time well-spent. Saw the Bourne Ultimatum first, and it was a good solid movie, filled with action and asskicking, and occasionally hard-to-follow-but-still-enjoyable fight scenes. Then I saw the Simpsons, which really did bring me back to the days ( Read more... )

I recieved this spam e-mail yesterday, which came with a photo for some online Canadian pharmacy:

A ta'veren might have caused all those weddings.

"As soon as Lord Agelmar heard what had happened, he ordered that no one was to be allowed to leave the keep without his personal permission. How does he love me.
This is the simplest method of infecting ( Read more... )

I am currently burnt-out, bone-dry, dull-eyed exhausted. I am in that state where I am simultaneously immensely tired, but my mind is also racing a thousand miles a second. Everything seems far more amusing than it should be. Constantly closing my eyes while I type this post seems a perfectly logical act. Sleep seems very far away, yet my head ( Read more... )
