At the end of every Left 4 Dead campaign, I find that, inevitably, I'll have the most friendly fire incidents out of any of my teammates. By, like, an order of magnitude. One might assume (and rightly so!) that my aim apparently just sucks, and yet I'm I'm also usually the player with the highest accuracy rating. On my last game, I had 30 friendly ( Read more... )

The toilet in the master bathroom started leaking water onto the floor today, which of course necessitated buying and installing new innards. Well, turns out the leak was coming from the rubber gasket between the tank and the bowl, so dad and I had to take the whole thing apart before putting the new stuff in. It was easy enough to separate, but ( Read more... )

OK SO YESTERDAY prismo  and I went and saw Caro Coraline and it was awesome and then we went to this weird mongolian grill restaurant and sat around for ten minutes until we realized we were supposed to serve ourselves and it was really hot and spicy and awesome and then we talked for awhile and then he talked me into buying Left 4 Dead and then I went ( Read more... )

Side7 4.0 is live! Go! Swarm it! Make it thrive once more!

Also, Maxis finally gave some info on what the new Spore expansion, Galactic Adventures, will be like, and ... man, it looks awesome, but at the same time, it's like ... couldn't they have included this in the original game?

I'll just leave this here.

Well, I assume I didn't get the job at Papa Murphy's. They gave me the runaround every time I called, and I haven't heard from them since. Back to the classifieds, I guess.

Still don't know if I got the job yet! Papa Murphy's is still doing interviews. I didn't know "pizza jerk" was such a coveted line of employment! But on the other hand, I finally got my Bamboo tablet on Monday! Oh, it's so tiny and precious and smooth and black and I just love it to itty bitty pieces! I was sketching with it all day Monday. Also, a ( Read more... )

Wish my tablet would get here. It's stuck in Portland because I have a bad habit of ordering things on Fridays and/or before holidays. G'uuuhhhhgh ( Read more... )

Oh jeez, I actually got an interview for a job at Papa Murphy's. I've been sending out applications without results for so long that I don't know what to do now.

Coffee? PAH! Child's play! Fifteen minutes of alertness followed by two hours of crash! Salt and vinegar potato chips? HELL YEAH! I'm bouncing off the walls ( Read more... )

I finally got around to buying Mass Effect a few days ago. Actually, I was on a mission for a DVI cable for my monitor. Fred Meyer doesn't carry rare goods like that, though. And it was a cold drive through deep snow just to get there, so I had to buy something, y'know?

For some reason, I was compelled to play through the game the first time as a ( Read more... )
