What Is Roleplaying?
Roleplaying is making decisions from the viewpoint of a fictional character in the world in which your game takes place. That character may or may not resemble you, personality-wise, and certainly a lot of the situations in which he or she finds him- or herself will bear little resemblance to any you have encountered. You are playing that role to ( Read more... ) -
On this journal
My decision to make this journal a more regular thing does not, on the surface, appear to have lasted long. However, my intention is still to post stuff here semiregularly, and still along the same lines as discussed a few entries ago. The thing is, I don't need to do that when I'm in Winnipeg, and so it can be expected to get ignored in the summer ( Read more... ) -
Album Review: Think Floyd - Beyond Boundaries
A word, first, about reviews in general. In case it's not clear, these are always going to be reviews of work I've only quite recently been exposed to for the first time. It won't, however, necessarily be new music; indeed, for the second time, I find myself reviewing a 2000 release. It will, however, always be fairly new to me. (Fairly, because ( Read more... ) -
The Prog50

This being the case, I took a fair bit of interest in a recent poll on progarchives.com, which, if your tastes in music are anything like mine, ( Read more... ) -
There, that's better
For some reason LJ really messed up the originally intended formatting of the previous entry. It should be a lot better now. (I also slightly revised a couple of bits that didn't read so well the first time around.) -
Rebirth and Genesis
After the better part of two years of gathering dust, I have decided to revive my LiveJournal. Now 100% more dragony, and correspondingly less froggy, than before.
(I deleted the frogs altogether, though somewhat reluctantly; they clashed with the new colour scheme.)
The major impetus behind this is that I'm finding myself excited about music again, ( Read more... ) -
Stick a fork in this thing...
I think it's time to admit that, at least for the time being, I have abandoned LiveJournal. I'll still check in on my friend page every so often, but I have no plans to write more entries for the foreseeable future. Feel free to find me on Facebook! (Though I'm not really making much use of the blog-like aspects of that either.) -

The most well-attended event to come out of Willy Week was Parker Redman's memorial service ( Read more... ) -
Beer debates & Facebook
So beer debates were last night. That's when a group of Rice profs known for their sense of humour and love of alcohol get absolutely wasted then go on stage and take questions from the audience at one of the on-campus pubs.
My lungs still hurt from laughing.
Almost all of it was sex-related questions (Have you ever done it in your office? No, but I ( Read more... )
