Wow, I haven't been here for a while...
I've mostly been on tumblr. I kind of want to get back into blogging here. ("Back into" might be the wrong term, since I wasn't very active in the first place, but...)

My LJ is a bit like my relationship with my mother...
... in that I occasionally am obligated to mention that I'm not dead. (If I don't see people around, I tend to forget that they exist and have lives of their own. It frustrates my more social-minded relatives to no end.)
I'm still alive. College has started up again, leaving me busy and tired.
I have a tumblr now. I'm still sort of figuring out ( Read more... ) -
Semi-random City Expiriment, Part 2
Day Two of thisSo. Location 5 on the map is the building for the city's Ministry of Trade and Shipping. (It's a river city of about 170,000 people*. Let's say about half the residents are directly or indirectly connected to creating/exporting goods, and that it takes, on average, 3 people two days to create a widget. This city would be exporting ( Read more... ) -
The Semi-random City Expiriment
Some people may remember my previous posts about ContextFree. I have found yet another way to have fun with it.
I was just messing around making pretty pictures when I realized that some of the pictures vaguely resembled city maps.

Book: "The Warrior Queens"
I recently realized that my college library actually, wonder of wonders, has books in it. It took me two and half years, but I'm trying to make up for lost time.

The squirrels are creeping me out, man
I had two unsettling encounters with our campus squirrels today.
The first was right after class. A gray squirrel was walking slowly near a line of shrubbery.
I'm struggling for a way to say this that won't sound completely mad, but it was moving wrong. Most of the time, squirrels are like springs. They push foward with their back legs in order to ( Read more... ) -
Back from hiatus! Also, meme.
I have a nagging feeling that I have things I meant to post about, but I can't remember what they were right now. So right now you get an announcement about me being back in civilization. (Yay, consistent internet access!)
Well, technically, I've been in civilization for about a week, but it didn't feel real until I got back into dorms, so here's ( Read more... ) -
Gone like yesterday (cause it's just past midnight)
I've noticed that it is customary to alert one's friends-list when one will be away from the internet for some time.
I am visiting relatives for several weeks, starting the morning of the third. I should have access again by August 26th (or possibly the 19th). However, in that time, it is very unlikely I will be posting here or commenting. (In other ( Read more... ) -
State of the Lizard
Since I haven't posted anything in a while...
I'm watching my little sister this week, since Mom and Dad are both gone. This seems like a good time to point out that I don't like children and never have. My reaction to babies is "Oh. Hi, wrinkled, funny-smelling thing. please don't ask me to hold it please don't ask me to hold it..." So this week's ( Read more... ) -
The berry-dyed tunic expiriment, part 2: The Disaster
So, at almost the very same second as I clicked "Post Entry" on part 1, I heard a small explosion from the kitchen. One of the pop cans that I had been using to weigh down the cloth had exploded.
( I knew I was going to screw up SOMETHING. Now I can rest at ease, as my worst idiocy has (hopefully) passed. )
