Resetting The Clock
Waking up and going to bed at bizarre hours continues. This is largely due to the fact that the In-Laws will be making their first visit to Toronto in a week or so, and it would be inconvenient at best if we were conked out and unable to show them around during [...]
Gamerz Rite The Guudest!11 ZOMG LOLZ!11
Today I got my free copy–or should I say login name and password for a PDF download–of The Videogame Style Guide and Reference Manual. It is supposed to be a reference book for aspiring game journalists that provides the same kind of definitive rules as Strunk & White’s Elements [...]
More Stories
A typical Monday in the Annex with some perfect weather (that is to say, warm enough to walk around with a jacket, but not warm enough to actually break a sweat). All the usual stops were made, Beguiling, Suspect Video, a resupply of coffee and some groceries. I still haven’t finished that [...]
Quiet Sunday
Not much happening today, aside from some minor insomnia that resulted in bedtime at a very odd hour, and a little bit of work. Some of the script for the second Liquid City story was written, a little bit of Hanger 18 was played (and failed. Repeatedly. MAN, those final solos [...]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!
SCREW YOU, REVEREND, YOU ARE DONE.
And then, in a fit of Perfect Irony, I went straight into the encore, riding the high of Finally Finishing That God Damn Song, and played YYZ.
It must be some kind of sign that I finished it on my first try. It’s horribly appropriate anyway, since this the first [...]
Middle Of The Week Pleasantness
It’s not like anything particularly good happened today, it just played as most days have since we arrived in Toronto; quiet, relaxed and generally enjoyable. Living in Toronto–especially now, with the tree lined streets actually being lined with green, leafy trees–feels almost like a permanent vacation in some respects. [...]
Oh YEAH.
