The Inevitable New Year’s Post
So here it is, New Year’s Eve, and once again, for the fourth straight year in a row, I am NOT writing out a hateful, spite-filled mass e-mail that insults all my friends and indulges in my once a year explosion of venom and envy over the fact that they are [...]
Again With The Shitty Kitty
Except in this case it was one of those rare occasions when I actually remember my dreams. In this case, a dream about the fact that one of our cats, Uno, had a thick pile of crap seemingly attached to her bottom like a skirt, and where ever she ran [...]
Still. Not. Legal.
Okay, so it looks like my Employment Pass has NOT been approved after all. This is a bit annoying. After getting the letter saying the EP was approved, I headed on down to my all time favorite place in the world, the Ministry of Manpower, aka, MOM, to once [...]
Getting Stuff Back
Now that the move is something like two weeks away, people are slowly either receiving things from us that we are trying to get rid of, or giving things back we had borrowed. Case in point, Battlestar Galactica DVDs. I first saw the new BSG when a friend over here loaned me his [...]
We Interrupt Your Daily Blog
Because, well… an earthquake has ripped through Taiwan and thus knocked out the main fiberoptic cable that made it possible for people in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore to surf North American sights within a sane period of time.
So yes, Internet access is extremely limited for those of us still [...]
Nowhere Is Still Going Somewhere
Just veeeeeeery sloooooowly. The sketchy artwork to the left (clickable as usual for enlargement) is a rendering of Fen, one of the main characters of the story. Yes, he is an Elf with a katana. No I am not going to explain why, not here. There’s a fairly lengthy [...]
The New Digs
The Wife, for whatever reason, got it into her head to make my blog more “proper,” as in something that looked like it was owned and about a genuine, interesting human being. As opposed to a giant geek. This is the end result. It is quite snazzy looking, I think, [...]
The Most Pathetic Christmas Eve Of All
Spent with the Wife, talking, eating pizza, being happy together, discussing future projects online, possibly watching bad, BAD movies (or dinosaurs), and doing Super-Uber-Nerd-Geek-Loser things like working on websites, writing TV scripts or, most losery of all, reorganizing a blog thanks to the new tag functions that Blogger has [...]
Game Tunes! Japanese Girls! Super Cute Violin Go Go Go!
The girl on the left, believe it or not, is an enormously talented violinist by the name of Ayako Ishikawa. But tonight all that dozens of heavy set geeks thought as they drooled over her was “Gee… I wish that super cute violinist [...]
When It’s Not Yours
This is something that has been weighing in with less-than- heavy, but slightly-more-than-medium impact on my thoughts of late. The reason will probably be abudantly clear in a few months (ah, hindsight, how obvious you are), but for now, let’s just play in generalities.
I’m talking about Fan Fiction. That is, [...]
