I went to my first show last night. I'm a fan of the genre but I've never had the chance to see anyone worth seeing. Much to my surprise a friend of mine mentioned that KRS-One was coming to Charlotte ( Read more... )

 My good friend Lady Otaku is getting married and trying to raise some cash to pay for it. She's raided her own anime/manga collection in an effort to offset the costs of the wedding. Please help her with her special day by bidding here:

Domino's screwed up my order, so I got 3 medium 1 topping pizzas with the wrong crust.  They are redoing my order and sending me the right pizzas.  I now have 3 extra pizzas and NO ONE to share them with.  This sucks.

With the little miss gone and a whole lot of free time on my hands, I've been retreating into music.  I've been listening to a lot of Hindu influenced Electronica such as Lumin, State of Bengal and DJ Cheb I Sabbah.  The mixture of unique vocals with electronic manipulation has been drawing my attention recently.  Kinda like a new flavor of Jazzy ( Read more... )

Every so often I come across a funny, impressive or scary video.  These are a couple of the ones that were very memorable

This one just made my jaw drop.  I'm already a fan of "Elsewhere" so when I saw some of his moves in here I flipped.  The commercial itself is a composite of several dancers, but if you're already familiar ( Read more... )

Writing in NaNoWriMo began to kindle some of that long lost creativity. Having such a logical and technical job makes it a little difficult to switch sides of the brain afterwards. I'm so geared into the Left brain mode (analytic and logical) that throwing it into the Right brain mode (creative and random) makes a very loud grinding noise. A ( Read more... )

As much as it pains me to say this, I can no longer continue with the NaNoWriMo project. My work has increased exponentially and other circumstances regarding work have caused me to pull out ( Read more... )

This NaNoWriMo has been kicking my ass and for all the wrong reasons. Instead of hitting a writer's block, I'm hitting a scheduling block. I just can't get any time to sit down and write. Writing during the week has been hell because my job has been keeping me here at all hours. Writing on the weekend is hard because I need to de-stress from ( Read more... )

It's funny how things work out. It's been eighty days since my last post. A nice round number. It's also a ridiculous number. I should have never let my writings lapse so long. Well, the beauty of this post is that I'm going to talk about something that is going to FORCE me to write every day in the month of November. For the uninitiated or ( Read more... )
