I started this journal when I was 16, and it shows. In the interest of a fresh start as well as a place to keep up with my friends during my soujurn studying in England, I've started a new journal, acrossthelake. For those of you who are interested in joining it, please friend me there and I'll friend you back.

Captain Jack Harkness, Oscar Wilde and Dream of the Endless are currently having a threesome on my desk. I'm not sure what this says about me as a person, taste in action figures aside.

Last time on The Seventh City, our heroes had determined to leave the cities by getting lost in a series of tunnels. It worked, but not quite in the way they were expecting.It all started as we emerged from the tunnels under the Seven Cities into somewhere completely different-our party wizard’s hometown of Osaka, Japan. Needless to say, we were ( Read more... )

1. Watch most of the first season of House.
2. Watch most of the first season of Jeeves and Wooster. (Note: Steps 1 and 2 are interchangeable as long as both occur ( Read more... )

On Sunday I went to my second cousin's missionary farewell at the behest of my grandmother. I had a lot of observations during the process, most of them along the lines of, "Dear lord, I'm so glad I don't make myself sit through this crap anymore," and "Rio de Janeiro? He's going to Rio?

As her English class is taught by an uptight lesbian who looks like a man and is composed of about six slightly... off-beat charter school kids, this intro usually heralds tales of interest and ( Read more... )

Once during my Hospitality class at LCB, the chef told us all that on average, a restaurant patron who had a good experience will tell three-ish of his friends, but with one who had a bad experience the figure is upped to thirteen-ish. I think the same can be very apt when dealing with blogs: so often they just become a venting ground for the ( Read more... )

Pweviously on The Seventh City: our heroes had wandered around cluelessly a lot before draining a lake into the mysterious catacombs under a Mordan factory.Needless to say, we figured that Morda at large would be pissed beyond belief and immediately booked it for Kaddath, our safe haven of sorts. It was there that we left our poor informant Nesmet ( Read more... )

The Seventh City: Part the FirstIn some capacity, we had all gotten lost. One guy was walking through an outpost of Hell. Something else had been physically misplaced and wound up somewhere completely different. My character was dancing (eventually we decided he was doing the Time Warp and jumped a little too far to the left.) Regardless, in the ( Read more... )

In hopes of a break from general angst, I’ve decided to do something I‘ve wanted to for a while: start recording the weekly 3-hour-ish blocks of distilled weird that are the meetings of my DnD group. I considered running a poll to see who would be actually interested, but eventually said to myself, “Self, when have I ever consulted my poor ( Read more... )
