Dullness Continues
A quiet day of starting on a script for the kid’s comic (y’know, the one for the Singapore kid’s magazine, it’s still got a few installments left to it before completion), playing me some Rogue Galaxy and walking a block down to the nearby Dentist’s office to ask for an appointment on a looooooooong [...]
The Last Week Without
Today was spent almost entirely in the neighborhood, doing errands like handling banking matters, a little bit more shopping for the Wife and the usual supply runs for groceries and cat necessities.
However, at least one bit of good news finally surfaced. A call to the movers to check on the status [...]
More Dullness
Just a shopping day for the Wife and many girly things like purses, scarves and cosmetics were picked up while I looked on, baffled and lost at the complexity of a Girl’s World. Especially when it came to cosmetics…

To whit; despite the fact that Suspect Video [...]
Semi-Work Day
Things were kind of, sort of done, although no real actual writing was accomplished. A bit of shopping, an interesting prospect of continuing work on an existing project (heck, at least that’ll pay the rent…) but most intriguing of all, an offer of a freelance job. From IGN–#1 gaming geek site–of all [...]
The First HD(ish) Game
Although we actually have a few games capable of being displayed at the lowest possible settings for High Definition (that being 480p) none of those games are actually HERE, since they were packed away along the The Rest Of The Stuff on the boat from Singapore to North America. At this [...]
