Work is starting to get heavy again. I’m actually at work, now, to do some testing. As a result, I’m missing CardCaptors (a.k.a. Card Captor Sakura). :pout: I’ve been terribly behind on doing stuff for my About.com BeOS site, and with working today, I won’t be able to get much done on that. Maybe on Sunday, but I like to take that as a day of rest. Arg. I’m spending some time fiddling […]

Well, I had a great time with Brennen and Saalon this weekend. We came up with a fantastic idea for a massively-multiplayer online world that would be way too ambitious for us to be able to fund. But we’ll probably put together a design document and post it somewhere. We also got the chance to watch Project A-Ko, Galaxy Quest, and Tenchi Muyo in Love together, all of which we enjoyed. […]

It’s time once again for your favorite game show, Spot the Looney. Now our first segment comes from an online description of the latest issue of the magazine FHM: In an age when 10-year-old kids use the F-word more often than Joe Pesci in “Goodfellas,” America’s innocence seems to have gone the way of the dodo bird. FHM is here to tell you that innocence isn’t extinct; rather, actress Alicia Silverstone […]

A new episode of NieA Under 7 is up. Also check out this guy’s page; I don’t know who it is, but s/he draws like Yoshitoshi Abe. Beautiful stuff. I went to work yesterday, along with practically everyone else on PERMS. This is not a good sign. I’m planning to have a little talk with the head of PERMS tomorrow. We had a lovely dinner last night; […]

Oft have I caught, upon a fitful breeze,Fragments of far-off melodies,With ear not coveting the whole,A part so charmed the pensive soul.While a dark storm before my sightWas yielding, on a mountain heightLoose vapours have I watched, that wonPrismatic colours from the sun— William Wordsworth (1770

Had a long phone conversation with Saalon last night, about writing among other things. We agreed that we’re both kind of scared about fiction writing right now. It’s like we don’t know exactly how to approach things. We’re trying to find our voice, and trying to get back into writing after a (comparatively) long hiatus. I’ve decided that I what I need to do is […]

It was back to work today after a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend. I am still a little angry at myself over yesterday afternoon, though: I decided to watch afternoon cartoons, and ended up watching TV for a good seven hours. It’s amazing how easy it is to get sucked in by the television. Or the Great Glass Teat, as AICN‘s Moriarty likes to call it. However, I used the opportunity to watch some of The 1900 House, a show […]

Just finished an excellent book named Tommy and Me by Ben Stein. Check out my review on my Read Books page. Saalon came down with some sort of nasty cold/flu combination, and thus didn’t drive here for the weekend. It worked out well, though; I’ve gotten a lot of things done, and he can come in two weeks. Even better, last night we cooked up the idea of Brennen coming too. […]

I was about to excuse my lack of updates by saying that nothing really interesting has happened lately, but whenever I say that I end up having a monster update describing all sorts of things. Nothing interesting has happened in my side garden, except that I bought that portable fireplace/grill through the internet, and it arrived on Tuesday. The fireplace, not the internet. It looks good, too. We put one of those store-bought […]

Well, today was devoted mostly to chores. My parents are still away, which has been pleasant. Not that I dislike their company; far from it. Rather, it’s nice to just be alone and have to take care of onesself. No interruptions (or very few). I ran out to Home Depot around noon, then stopped in at a nearby Friendly’s for lunch. Big mistake. Turns out they were having a spot […]
