Now that I've seen the whole thing, I'm more than a little blown away.

The New Normal is... well, much of what the critics claim: a blend of sarcastic wit and tender revelation. Sure, it eschews reality, but not for the sake of melodrama: it does so to represent something intrinsic to its cast: the whacky, weird, passionate nature of embracing ( Read more... )

First off all, let me say that one day, one day in the next few years, I hope to be able to pay someone to move my shit for me. I know the services exist, it's just a matter of being able to afford them ( Read more... )

I really, really wish publishers of RPG books would include colophons... I'd love to read about some of their design choices... what paper is the Ghost of Albion RPG printed on? Why does CthulhuTech only have numbers on the recto pages?

*le sigh*

Hey Flist,

So, for one of my classes we need to select a Non-Profit Organization, and create a fund-raising event for it. I've tentatively selected Conjecture, and, playing on its strength as a local convention in San Diego, the event would be a concert with local filkers and musicians.

Now for the problem: I know of, like, two artists/bands that are ( Read more... )

Dear Life,

Please stop with the stress.

-- Thanks

So, mid-April, a friend of mine, well aware of the fact that my job sucks and makes me hate it, sent me a posting from within her company for a Brand Manager. I'd taken a few design courses --- one for web design, one for general use of the Adobe Suite and integrating basic design elements --- and ( Read more... )

I was amused.

Also, I've begun playing City of Heroes... well, alright, I'm a Praetorian, and praying Freedom isn't released before I hit 20.

Also also, if you understood that, then we share a bond I am only slightly ashamed of...

Well, for those who are out-of-the-daily-grind-loop... which is everyone one my FList, at this point, I've moved again. I now take up a tiny amount of space in a room in a townhouse in a neighboring burb of Poway that still considers itself San Diego because it's pretentious enough without being its own city, damn it.

I have a home, a place to ( Read more... )

So, it's come to me that the only way to rid myself of Feast II and Feast III is with a proper review. But I respect my reader's stomachs and sanity. Still, some us know the allure of forbidden lore, and seek it, even when it might cost us our minds... or our lunch. (After all, why else play Call of Cthluhu?)

So...

I recently reviewed Feast (2006), and rated it as worth watching for any horror buff. It's two existing sequels, however, are not. Let me spare you details with this simple summary: few films have left me so nauseated.

That is all.

A bit late, to be sure, but my New Year's Resolution for this year is two-fold: to read one Lovecraft story per month, and also one book for leisure per month.

I've not read my Lovecraft story, and I will generally not review those stories here, as Lovecraft is a staple of most of my friends. But I will go ahead and review the other books I read.
