Finally saw Mad Max: Fury Road.
It was a pretty good movie, but after all the hype--and the screaming from butt-hurt man-babies--I was expecting more. The premise is pretty simple: in the post-apocalyptic future the Mad Max franchise is set in, there are a bunch of women being kept as sex slaves. Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) helps them ( Read more... ) -

It's Talia's and my 18-month anniversary today. Instead of doing anything celebratory, we're driving to Middle-Of-Nowhere, CA, so that she can take the CSET tomorrow morning.

Sometimes life is a series of hassles.
When my new phone arrived, I discovered that my current SIM card wouldn't fit into it. Fortunately, AT&T gives you new SIM cards for free... but what they didn't tell me at the store is that the SIM only carries my voice & text plan. Data does not transfer over; it resets to a pay-as-you-go plan. So not ( Read more... ) -

I've been working at my new job for three weeks now. In that time, I've averaged about four bugs a week. Some of them have been big glaring issues that anyone would have noticed; some have been little detail-oriented things that it takes a sharp, quick eye to catch. I've submitted some proofreading errors. I am, in short, settling in ( Read more... ) -

I've been watching the Spoiler Warning crew do a Let's Play of Mass Effect III, and they've soured my opinion of the trilogy somewhat. Mostly because a lot of their points are right.
First off, they articulated something I had long felt but which, evidently, nobody else agreed with: Mass Effect II was a complete and total waste of time. In the ( Read more... ) -

So, I did not get a job for Christmas... But I may have got one for New Year's.
First off, I applied to Rumble Games back in November. They shot me a questionnaire about computer hardware in early December which I filled out, and then I didn't hear from them again. Then, in January, they scheduled me for a phone interview on Wednesday the 14th ( Read more... ) -

For Valentines' Day last year, I got Talia something I thought she'd be able to get some use out of. She'd been commenting that all her jewelry was ostentatious fashion jewelry, made of plastic and typically fragile. So I got her a necklace, an amethyst heart, and I don't think she's ever taken it off since. In a similar vein, she got me things ( Read more... ) -
HERE'S that darn survey!
1. What did you do in 2014 that you'd never done before?Oyyy. Umm... Moved in with a significant other. Adopted kittens. Celebrated a 1-year anniversary (my relationship with Ruthanne did run that long, depending on how you wanna look at it, but we never celebrated it). Had to buy new pants because my waistline expanded instead of my legs. ( Read more... )
