Happy Birthday to me!
My birthday was about a week ago, and I got a Visa gift card from my wife and best friend for my birthday. I went shopping online at Teavana with the gift card and bought about a hundred dollars worth of tea and tea accessories for myself. O_O
I got a new tea cup. It's a Yixing pottery mug, which is a Chinese style that I appreciate

How does one "do" steampunk when...
How does one "do" steampunk when one is not the most creative of people? I mean, I dig steampunk aesthetic big time, but as far as making my own stuff? I'm a tard
It makes me feel sad and pathetic, you know? -
Gone to the Dark Side. At least there are cookies!
Fionn has been teaching Rocket-boy and me to play a miniature war-game called Warhammer 40,000 lately. It's one of those things where you have an army of little men on each side and try to kill your opponent's little men, based on rolling dice.

Back on the horse
Now that I'm feeling better, mentally, it's time for me to get back on the horse and back to completing my education.
Of course, this means that I need to reevaluate my current credits, the requirements for entry into the BS program that I want, as well as any CLEP tests that I can take in order to advance my standing, academically. I know that I ( Read more... ) -
You bes' RECOGNIZE!
No, I don't get my time card in on time. Big deal, I'm salary. I also work the hours that the time-card system is down overnight. I often work longer than my scheduled shift, but I don't much complain about it. After all, I get a little bonus for working overnight ( Read more... ) -
Merry Goth-mas!
Merry Goth-mas everybody! Friends of ours got me a book called "Zombie Haiku" and it's the bomb-diggety. It's such great fun!
My favorite:
Elbows bend one way
Except for this guy screaming...
His bends two ways
Joy!
