Las Vegas is a trip. This week, I've been at a game manufacturers convention supporting Shifting Skies Games, a gaming start-up that has their first game in production. I'm just the graphic designer on the project-- not even the illustrator (read: no gamer cachet whatsoever), but the other person who... Read More
oops...i meant the game as a sports fan i know the sharp pain of an unexpected loss like that. unfortunately, i also know the lingering ache from the inevitable loss of loved ones.
It's come to my attention recently that at least one person I know who isn't an SG member comes by this journal to check up on me, but isn't able to comment. So I'm double-posting this blog to my personal site. If you're not an SG member, and you'd rather be able to comment, register over at my site and you can tell me... Read More
SETUP: One morning, you leave your house to find a slave trader from far away Stygia in your front yard. He has a gigantic black-haired Cimmerian slave named Conan for sale, and assures you that this slave was trained in the war-crafts of ancient Aquilonia.
Realizing you are looking at none other than Conan the Barbarian himself, you... Read More
well, there is this guy i hate so i would ask, not demand, but ask conan to beat him to a pulp, then buy him pizza and a dosa, tell him he can sleep on my floor if he wants till he gets back up on his feet, then be bff - best friends forever. can you dig??
I hear ya. Actually, Karen called the doc and conviced her to see me this morning. I've woken up without dizziness and my kidney doesn't hurt, so maybe I'm getting better. Still gonna go see the doc, but I at least can type without feeling nauseous.
I got an email yesterday from a buddy of mine from the Bay Area. He and I had trained together briefly a few years back at the Evolving Body Mind Kung Fu Academy; I only took a handful of classes, but he was a dedicated San Shou student for a while there, and even got some San Shou fights. Prior... Read More
Hmmmm....I've got this new fighting technique I need to show you. Okay, punch me. No no, don't pull your hand back, just leave it out there...like that. Okay so now I can grab your arm and....emph...and...you are so not doing this right. You're supposed to be on the ground now, so lay down. There, like that. Now, stay there. Don't move.
I've found that I'm a helluva good martial artist if I have either an imaginary foe, or I can position them any way I like.
OK, I've been tagged by both Sophie, and tubaart. Naturally, their lists are similar, but not identical, so I am combining their categories into one . . . MEGA . . . SUPREME . . . 'SEVEN THINGS' LIST.
Watching your boys spank Colorado was excellent, I'm sure. Hope your voice is a little weak today - what with the scouting and all. Did they take the Big 12 last night, or is it still up for grabs?
I think I love the rock chalk jayhawk chant. College fans are so rad. Really, they put NBA fans to shame in almost every possible way. Yeah, we've got DePaul and Northwestern here, but those games really don't have andything resembling the fire that it you I've seen from major programs. The crowds always seem so electric. Reminds me of what I see from European soccer and the good ol' days when the NHL was worth a damn.
The competitive energy of thousands of people is truly something to behold. In '03, I was lucky enough to have stumbled across tickets to what turned out to be the Cubs' Wild Card clinching double-header. Madness. Sheer madness. Real college programs seem to capture that big game fire on a regular basis. I'm so psyched for you that you've got it right in your back yard.
I'm no football nut, but there's been a gaping hole in Chicago sports since the departure of da Coach.
Unpopular though the choice may be, my friend - I look for the Chicago Bears to run the table at this month's NCAA tournament.
BEARS!!!
Should you ever feel compelled to hear jackass Chicago sports talk in all it's insane, biased glory (brutal accents ans all), you simply must listen to these assholes some afternoon. Someone saw fit to give these nut-jobs four (4!!!) hours of air time every afternoon. Truly frightening.
i miss you and i really want to come home. lunch time is just an hour away. i'm probably just going to want to lay down and only get up to drink tea. and then, you know, go back to the grind. but at 3:45 i have my massage appointment. hopefully that will be rockin' good.
i hope your day is going really super excellently.
First of all, let me apologize immediately for my last journal entry. I promise you, had I known what a fraud and forgery it was, I would never have posted it. I pride myself on my integrity, and I want to believe that everyone who reads this page knows that what you read here it is true like my favorite... Read More
ok. you don't have to tell me. you see, someone sent me the list of the albums you purchased. you scared now?
i happen to know you got a little thaaang for new swedish "dansband" music..
i don't want to be rude and say your taste in music sucks, but i'll add my personal comments here anyway. what's with those white haired guys? are they twins? and are they crazy? i think so.
here you got a real treat! 2 cds, 40 songs, and these guys are hott too!
i am afraid for the dude 3rd from the left. the expression on his face is just.... eww. what's going on? the title of this record is "BACK AGAIN!" and i know you, ck, are very exited about this but... help.
at least these guys look normal, but what's with that red star? are they socialists? the guys got handsome jackets i think. very.. bling bling goldy.
you just bought this one because you thought the cover was so "colorful and pretty".
Okay, you know what? I'm a little slow sometimes. Yesterday's wordy and obtuse entry is really the way I think it, but the whole thing could have been summed up like so:
"Give yourself what you want from your ideal love relationship and you'll be healthier and happier for it."
</clarity>
Remember: the people who don't give you what you need right now will die... Read More
Or Brian Timothy Kennedy?
Or Bill Templeton Kennedy?...
