This blog entry is pretty challenging for me. Vegetarianism, once I got over the initial hurdles, was an easy choice because it felt like a simple means of living out parts of my ethics in regards to exploitation, and it didn't take that much effort. Approaching the problems surrounding the exploitation of the human labor involved in producing ( Read more... )

Last night, yurodivuie and I had a sort of "working dinner" at the Sunlight Cafe (great vegetarian food, but not quite as vegan-friendly as one would generally hope) as we prepared the imminent Exalted one-shot that we'll be running soon in Dallas. As David pointed out, one shots are often more difficult than ongoing games to prepare for, especially when ( Read more... )

Life continues and things occur. Most of them are boring are to read about.

Saturday night I wrangled together a significant portion of my local friends for a three week late birthday celebration. We had dinner at the Capitol Hill Tea Pot Vegetarian House, a vegan Chinese food restaurant that specializes in Buddhist-style fake meat cooking. ( Read more... )

Yesterday I turned 26.

The first thing I did after waking was immediately open the box my parents sent to me, which had been taunting me from its perch on top of my sumo for the past five days. From them I received the second season of Veronica Mars (to replace my ill-gotten divx copies) and the soundtrack to Haibane Renmei.

On Tuesday, we played our bi-weekly game of Adventure!, a 20's pulp game of globe-trotting adventure. Much of the session was spent with our characters in Constantinople and other parts ( Read more... )

I saw Lucky Number Sleven with the usual crew last night. The movie was quite good. I had expected a more frantic, Guy Ritchie-style movie, but instead got a very modern but more evenly-paced crime caper in the vein of the The Usual Suspects. The highlight of the movie, by far, was Lucy Liu, who played a sweet, funny, cute character completely ( Read more... )

Saturday: I got away from work at noon and decided to forego the Best Buy run and just buy groceries. I then spent the rest of the day playing City of Villains, watching dvds, and reading. Not bad at all.

Sunday: I slept in and then opened the box o' stuff my parents sent me. For my big breakfast (you have to eat a big breakfast on Christmas; ( Read more... )

I've long been a fan of fruit-based beverages. In fact, I've been known to say from time to time that I consider the fresh fruit smoothie to be one of mankinds greatest accomplishments. Over the last few weeks, though, I've become increasingly obsessed with juice, weighing and balancing such factors as price, flavor, texture, nutritional value, ( Read more... )

It's been quite a while since I posted here, mostly because I can't access LJ from work anymore. However, I finally remembered to check the process for posting via email, and here I am. I'm assuming this whole post is going to be full of typing errors and broken html tags that I won't really notice until I get home and can actually look at how ( Read more... )
