Dad's Memorial
I meant to post this somewhere or another for reference, and now I'm getting around to it. These are the notes I slapped together at about 5:30am on the day of my dad's funeral. I adapted it as I was speaking, but this has the gist of it ( Read more... ) -
Meme- Userpic explanations
labelleizzy posted a meme wherein they were asked to write about six of their userpics. There's some more stuff about propagation, but since it's taken me a month and a half to get to this, I don't think I'll do that. I'll just say life has been full for a while ( Read more... ) -
VGC: Saints Row 4
After the previous two Saints Row games, I eventually started the most recent. I actually started it before we moved to Portland, but oddly enough, things got busy afterward. I finished it off finally a couple of weeks ago ( Read more... ) -
Pop-cultural Stuff
I finished off Rendezvous with Rama last week. It was one of my trips to work in SJ, so I had time on the plane ride and away from my computer to do reading and TV.

VGCs: FF XII & TBoUT

Hey, Kids! What Time Is It?
Yes, once again, it's hot dog time (3 days ago). And yet again, Joey Chestnut is triumphant.
And engaged.
I know you were all a-tingle with suspense. -
Our Forth of July Weekend Adventure
aelfie is in Sacramento for her final session of Waldorf teacher training (before graduating, anyway, it never stops). Her uncle's annual family pool party was Friday, so the kids and I, after spending the week with just them and me, set off for the party Friday morning. The trip was pretty smooth ( Read more... ) -
Movie Review: Star Trek Into Darkness
aelfie and I watched Star Trek Into Darkness this weekend. Sensitized by the various Cracked notes on the dualities between the first reboot and Star Wars, we were ready to see all of TV Tropes fed into the blender for this one. We were not disappointed. I will now take my inspiration from the style of Andrew Borntreger at Badmovies.org and jot down ( Read more... ) -
VGC: Far Cry 3 + Blood Dragon
Far Cry 3 is another entry in the FC series. As usual, the relation to the previous games is solely in the engine and impressive scope of the game. In this installment, you are a 20-something dude taking an adventure holiday with your brothers and friends in the South Pacific. You all stumble onto an island full of pirates and drug trafficers, ( Read more... )
