I had a dream a night or two ago, which in presentation was not unlike a first-person action/puzzle game, such as Portal. Unremarkably, it took place in a large research facility, which was being evacuated due to some disastrous mishap. Throughout most of the dream, the precise nature of what was going on remained vague, though our efforts to ( Read more... ) -

I woke up at 5 AM this morning to find that my roommate's rabbit had not been adequately confined. As is her custom, she had celebrated her freedom by making her way into my room and relieving herself directly in front of (not in) the cat's litter box. After cleaning up the mess, I went back to bed. And dreamed of changing litter boxes for the next ( Read more... ) -

Recluse mode is something I slip into a bit too easily for my liking, but it's also comforting to be all holed up, with just a cat and the internet for company. After a good three or four years spent in more-or- ( Read more... ) -
I went into town to get new dress shoes
By the time I realized that I was in Boston, all dressed up and wearing a purple shirt, on the day of the Gay Pride parade, it had already been over for two hours. So I went to the theatre and watched Kung Fu Panda, which was surprisingly good. Jack Black was occasionally annoying as the title character, but Dustin Hoffman was perfect as his ( Read more... ) -
For those of you playing along at home
I finally quit my job today. Those of you who know me, know that I have been pretty fed up with this job -- I worked as a lead salesperson/shipping manager for a music store -- for quite some time now. I had been hoping that the new boss would change things; he's certainly made many promises about how once he is confirmed as store manager, wages ( Read more... )
