Catsitting callout
Man, it seems like all I use LJ for these days is asking for favors.
Anyone going to be in the area and able to check in on our cats 2-3 times between Christmas and New Year's? You would be compensated for the trouble. -
Antirant
Alright, well, I just got back from Comcast, and I've been able to make sense of just about everything ( Read more... ) -
Comcast Déjà Vu
Okay, so let me preface this by saying I get déjà vu a lot -- way more often than any normal person should. But this time, I think I'm right that this exact thing has happened before, and I'm pretty damned angry about it. Note: this rant may not be as vitriolic as you've come to expect. It's a lot more explanatory in nature, and might not be as ( Read more... ) -
I'm takin' this shit VIRAL.
Hey. Quick note. My brother's dog, Duke, is in some kind of pet photo contest. Toss him a vote if you have 10 seconds to spare. And pass it along if you feel inclined. They need 1000 votes to qualify, and duplicates are discounted, so I need to exercise the breadth of my social network to really help.

Times, they are a-changin'
So it's been about 2 months since I last updated, which was to tell everyone that I got engaged. What a busy two months it's been. Shortly after the engagement was Christmas, when I flew to Georgia to spend some time with my family. I had a good time, and came back on the 24th to spend Christmas proper with Christina. We had tons of fun opening ( Read more... ) -
This week's big news
So in case I didn't get to call you (not for want of trying -- half of you didn't pick up), and you haven't yet seen my Twitter or Facebook status update about it, you should know that I proposed to Christina on Thursday night, and she said yes. We're both really excited about it, though I can't claim to match the enthusiasm that the ol' second X ( Read more... ) -
Anger and disgust
Well, since I'm up this early, I guess everyone else is still probably optimistically sleeping. But as of now, 92% of precincts have reported 51.9% yes on 8. It hasn't been called, but it's not too early to have an effect on me ( Read more... ) -
Transformers
Dear god. Let me just start by making something clear. There are few things in this world more unsettling to me than an unfinished story. I've gotten pulled into horrible TV shows and poorly designed games just to see how they end. So please do not take it lightly when I say that I just turned off Transformers maybe halfway through without the ( Read more... ) -
Mega Man 9, elaborated
So here's the thing. People who write about games for a living play a lot of games, and they have an incisive eye towards game balance factors, etc. But they're not necessarily good at games. I recall a review of Splinter Cell: Double Agent that claimed the game's new mechanism of counting any disabled enemy (killed or not) against you made it " ( Read more... ) -
Vacation and since
Yeah, I haven't really kept this up. It's been pretty crazy since we got back from Hawaii. I have videos which I'll get around to editing and posting. Christina has still photos on her Flickr. She's much more prompt about these things ( Read more... )
