Nah, I'll probably quit with the two-word titles. That is, assuming I post here again. You can always find journals online that people have up and abandoned with no sign of coming back. I didn't want to leave this old journal hanging. I haven't posted in a long time, and this may be the last post I make in here. This journal served its purpose well ( Read more... )

Hmm. Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I've been playing it nearly every spare hour I've had since it came out. Some thoughts follow. These are just my opinions, so don't take them too seriously. This entry turned out somewhat bigger than I imagined, so be prepared to read a bit.

Well, Super Smash Bros. Brawl finally made it stateside. Gamestop had an official midnight release Saturday night. I went in a bit early around 10 p.m. and paid up my copy. I'd actually reserved two copies, somehow -- probably had something to do with when the release date changed way back when -- but, a woman who hadn't pre-ordered was glad to buy ( Read more... )

Windy nights are just perfect. I can hear the wind rushing over houses and rustling the leaves of trees. I can even hear the gentle ringing of wind chimes in the distance. Sometimes, when it's a real clear night, the moon and the stars shine brilliantly against the dark blue night sky. Add in the rollicking sound of the wind and a chorus of wind ( Read more... )

Apparently there was a shooting at UALR earlier Wednesday afternoon. A couple of guys pulled up in a gold-colored car, shot a guy, and peeled off. Even more astonishing than the shooting is that it was in broad daylight, in full view of the entire university tennis team. No word on the victim's condition right now, other than he had surgery and is ( Read more... )

I commissioned an artist on the Web to sketch and color some of the characters I've come up with, after all these years. Many of you know I have almost nothing to show for my work, save a rough character sheet, a few e-mails, and various scribblings. That content, or lack of it, isn't the issue here. I was lying awake in bed one night recently and ( Read more... )

So, it's a new year. This may be the first year for me in which it doesn't feel new. I'll have to get used to writing a new number, sure, but that's about it. For me, time is running together. Everything feels like a continuation, instead of another beginning. Oh well. For the record, I had a nice winter break. I brought in a pair of B's and an A ( Read more... )

Borrowed from Hachi:

Go to Wikipedia and hit 'random article' 17 times. The first is your band name, the next your album, and the rest your tracklist.

The real world corrupts. It's not necessarily a bad place, but it's a rough place. Some of your best years really will be in grade school and college, because the burden of responsibility isn't suddenly thrust upon you. Being accountable for your actions isn't the rough part of life, really. Setting goals and reaching them is the easy part. It's ( Read more... )

Just a few main points to cover for everyone. I'm in the final stretch for this semester, and I've got big assignments I've neglected -- go figure. So, I'll be buckling down and focusing entirely on them for the next couple of weeks or so. No World of Warcraft, no matter how addictive it is. No Super Mario Galaxy, which almost made me tear up upon ( Read more... )
