My mother died nine years ago last October. Though she was far from faultless, she was the only member of my family I could trust in the slightest. I'd already been through hell the first time she was supposed to die; maybe that was so I wouldn't end up there when she actually died.

By our actions, other people place us at a point on...

Danielle, if you haven't seen it already, go back one.

Ahem.

Once upon a time, in a town not far enough away, I saw the cover of a video in a rental store. Some guy holding up a sword, mouth open, eyes closed, as if he was experiencing... something. The word 'Highlander' was plastered in sharp letters across the top. I wanted to see it....

This is the result of... I forget whose blog. Maybe I'll remember later.

I'm in a pale, boring room. The people I'm sharing it with are decidedly less than both. They are uniformed natives of this country. Two carry automatic weapons. The third has a pistol on his belt. This last man is the one that's been yelling at me for about half an hour...

Of all my new year resolutions, the only one I've upheld is that I've been cooking more often for myself. Rather sad, but at least I'm better fed. There's only so much cold food you can eat during cold weather before your belly freezes over. Hm, I need a toaster that can accomodate baps...

The Burning Crusade approaches. Last night - technically, at least -...

I've incurred a little American ire, this weekend. Unmitigated hyperbole, gross generalisation, stereotyping, over-zealous neo-conservatism, pedantic and pathetic... hm, maybe more than a little.

My first thought is that sarcasm has become my primary mode of communication. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but it may be, especially when the topic involves religion or politics. I first became aware of my overuse...

Tonight, being the fourth of January in the year two thousand and seven, Obtena Br'Ator, night elf of the Argent Dawn (EU) server, has slain the black dragon Onyxia; and received Eskhandar's Collar to boot.

Okay, I think I've figured out my new year resolutions.

1. Write more regularly.
2. Cook more regularly.
3. Houseclean more regularly.
4. Comment on new SG sets... more regularly...
5. Get my life back.

I think I have MMOs to blame for losing what life I had. EQ was the first, got hooked, added SWG - I should have learned something from the fact...

It's over, and frankly I'm surprised I had to eat at all yesterday. The goose was that good. It was a big lunch, and stuff like bread and cheese for dinner, after which I konked out until I went home. There was red wine during the meal, and real Russian vodka before and after. It was one of those things where you don't have fun...

Chistmas Shopping, part 1, all done. I'll go earlier tomorrow to get the CDs and DVDs. I just couldn't stand those queues. If queues are the judge, three quarters of all Christmas presents will come from record stores. Frankly, I'm glad I know at least one person who still reads books.

It's so cold, I have to warm up before fondling myself.

Edited to add:...

So, I keep getting this Christmas card.

That's my address on it, sure enough. But the names... the names are wrong. For starters, there should only be one name, because I'm alone here. But my name is not either of these. It's not the Mr. name, and it certainly isn't the Mrs. name. So I write 'not at this address' on the front of the...
