How Long a Minute Is...
Dad invited me out to breakfast with him, so I dressed and cleaned up faster than I had all week. Once we got there though, I realized I needed to drain the lizard REAL bad. Trouble is, this particular eatery only has bathrooms large enough for one - or in this case, a father-son team. After five minutes, I figured 'boys will be boys.' After ten ( Read more... ) -
Brightly-Lit Dream
I appear to be driving home from somewhere late at night... possibly our lakeside cottage. Somehow I know the total drive is an hour or less. As I'm rounding the curve, I spot a small yet brightly-lit casino right next to the road. I park nearby, not entirely sure where I'm supposed to park, and approach the entrance. Out front, there are two hot ( Read more... ) -
Manipulating Desire
I've realized something I was dimly aware of for a while. As long as I stay in bed (regardless of whether I'm about to sleep or have already slept) I don't have the urge (or desire... not sure which word fits best) to play vidjamagames. It's easy enough to figure out WHY this is: my dreams might not outweigh videogames in terms of sheer ( Read more... ) -
Horror Dream
Rather unsettling series of dreams. A recurring theme was being chased (or rather, haunted) by a tough-guy motorcyclist. He behaved like Freddy or Jason, combining ghostly powers with surprising strength and endurance. The weird thing was, he was constantly being dogged by his old goth-ish girlfriend, who was responsible for killing him in the ( Read more... ) -

Asda Story Unfolds
I downloaded another mumorpurger, this time at Luke's request. Seems like a watered-down version of WoW with anime-inspired graphics, but you can't fault free. It's called Asda Story. Why? Who knows. We liken it to the title of a soap opera: "As the world turns, as the turd whirls, Asda Story unfolds..." It took me a while to determine the right ( Read more... ) -
Brain Waves
Found a little artsy game called The Sense of Connectedness. You control the path electric pulses take as they travel through a brain, and the background noise (I wouldn't call it music) is procedurally generated based on the nodes touched, which occurs at a steady tempo. You progress by first discovering, then lighting up various portions of the ( Read more... ) -

I've started practicing the piano again. I was trying random chords and notes based on the "Call Lee Free!" slogan, and I somehow segued into the owl's theme from Majora's Mask. I am now determined to learn how to play more than the first eight bars... but I still need to go work out and follow up on job apps at the mall. Stuff to DOOOO ( Read more... ) -

Ugh. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I really need to reactivate the timer on my television so that it turns itself on for about twenty minutes each morning. Hopefully, that will divert my attention toward whatever's on the screen (ideally, a loud music video from VH1) instead of whatever I was just dreaming about. I mean sleeping in isn't so devestating ( Read more... ) -

Mom just got super-pissed at Dad because she didn't belive that whatever Xmas card stuff Dad was working on and preparing to print out wasn't relevant to whatever Mom wanted to discuss alongside him on the living room couch. Mom's ready to go somewhere RIGHT NOW and Dad has to go somewhere else in about an hour... I dunno. It's like I'm watching my ( Read more... )
