So...

do I see Primeval, Curse of the Golder Flower, or Children of Man? (Or even Night at the Museum?)

Celestia is my new time waster. Yay astronomy!

So, does anyone out there own/use, or know someone who owns/uses, one of those Razr phones? I've got ad upgrade possibility for $30 with a two year contract extention, and I'm tempted, but I'd like to know what some actual users think of them.

I've had Civil War songs in my head the last couple of days. It bothers me that the only decent version...

Today, I became the proud new owner of a genuine Czech army surplus air matress. Yay, I'm ready for the convention season!

Well, and also visits from the almost-not-exactly-ex, which I admit I'm not totally enthused about, but she was feeling bad about stuff, so... *shrugs* It's not worth the crap that would go down later, really. And honestly, more and more, it looks like...

So, I've recently rediscovered Jonathan Coulton.

The most twisted love song I think I've seen, complete with a WoW video. (Skullcrusher Mountain)


re: Your Brains. WoW again.


And just one more, then I'll quit abusing your blog pages. If admitted to things almost making me cry, this video is there. (WoW again. This one's called Code Monkey.)


And... I find myself tempted to try creating...

Ah, 2007! An excuse to pre-date checks by a year! Yay!

Things are blah otherwise, though I did spend a good time having my family kick my ass at Ticket to Ride. I'm looking at possibly having to start a new gaming group from scratch, as one of the guys (and one of my podcast cohosts, which I only mention because he's not reading...

I hope everybody had a happy solsticial holiday of their choice.

Mine went well, spent with family. Dealt with the sensory overload of all of the kids around. Got lots of neat stuff. Played a trivia game. Did I ever mention I like trivia?

My nieces like the Wiggles. Even though I find them entirely too manic to deal with, it does sadden me that...

Went shopping this morning. I'm sacrificing most of what I might have gotten familywise to get a new dressy shirt and jacket, mainly for a family event coming up the weekend after Christmas, but they'll be nice to wear for things otherwise, too. When I have a chance, I'll take pics after I get them (the jacket needs to be altered, so it'll be at...

I've been told I'm going shopping today. *grumble*

Busy busy busy...

I've been doing not-so-much around here recently. I've just been... oh, I don't know. Reflecting on my life? Contemplating my mortality?

I'd never met James Kim (the CNet editor who died recently trying to get help for his family, stranded in the Oregon wilderness not too long ago) but apparently he graduated from my high school the year before I did, and it's had my...

What you will find behind this link... is my favorite Holiday-related Sluggy Freelance strip.

Okay, so it's a little sophomoric. Woo hoo.

I wish retail establishments (like the one wherein I work) would play decent Christmas music, and not things like the verson of "Jingle Bells" with no consistent tempo.

And I've been feeling a general sense of unease in recent days. No real reason, just... feeling like I'm in a rut and there's not a whole lot I can do about it.

I've had a couple of songs stuck in my head the last few days, so I figured what better than to inflict them on all of you!

The first one is thanks...

Glad everyone liked my haircut.

As for finishing NaNo... well, I won't finish it for NaNo, not with one week and 40,000 words left (and too many visitors and events to prevent me from writing). I may eventually finish it, but NaNo has defeated me yet again.

Besides, I have something else I need to write in the next few days, something for a friend's...
