Despite the ever-looming specter of Thanatos on the horizon, I always get caught off-guard when somebody I know of dies. Even if the person is simply a celebrity or an athlete, they often seem so much a part of life that it doesn't make sense that life could continue without them. And yet the world goes on despite the loss of Kirby Puckett ( Read more... )

Well, I'm in an intensely good mood tonight, and seeing as I haven't posted anything here for a whiles now, I decided that my LJ silence should be broken ( Read more... )

I never seem to find much will to write on this thing, and whenever I do, there isn't too much for me to talk about really.

So, I'm sitting at my computer, chatting with Andrew about this and that when James calls out from his room that Von's is burning down. Von's... MY Von's... the one with all the anime ( Read more... )

Well with James and Brandon back, we submitted a full report to the police, editing the previous one started by yours truly. Luckily, James didn't have much of anything taken; only his deck of Magic cards. Brandon's anger subsided, and we started theorizing and conjecturing just who could've done this possibly. This is when we started noticing ( Read more... )

Well, Thanksgiving Break has proved to be more eventful than I had figured, though not in a good way. Sometime from 12 PM to 8 PM, somebody broke into our place and swiped some of our stuff. This all transpired while I was at home for Thanksgiving festivities and carrying on my tradition of beating a Suikoden game over the break there. I didn't ( Read more... )
