For a number of years, I've been looking into the prospect of handguns. This is of course due to the fact that I'm a weakling. There was a time when I exercised regularly, but the fact was, it was boring, messy, and too light to provide any progress. The fact remains that, like with any other attempt to improve myself, I on my own don't have the ( Read more... )

Speaking of not having friends with common interests, I may as well waffle a bit about what media I've been consuming lately. This isn't as pointless as most things I type, since arifyn actually claims that he reads these posts-although, of course, since we don't have any common interests, he doesn't have any comment, because he doesn't know any of these ( Read more... )

As I noted before, I've been planning to whine about semantic drift-specifically, in the case of loan-words between Japanese and English-for some time now. It would be easy to do a lot with the ones that go from English to Japanese (although I don't seem to remember what they're called, but I'm sure arifyn can correct me since his senior thesis was on ( Read more... )

[Well, apparently all personalities are on a one-dimensional spectrum. Oh well.]

Everyone has a personality of a cartoon character. Have you ever asked yourself what cartoon character do you most resemble ( Read more... )

As I've noted before, the only real obstacle to starting Project Homuncupunk is the fact that I can't draw. I've been far too lazy to work on that lately. One of the things that I noticed was the fact that I was just drawing random sketches, so there's no incentive to do any significant amount of work at a time. Also as I've noted before, I've been ( Read more... )

There are numerous reasons I need to get a home (of which many I can't mention in a public post), but the one that occupies my mind the most is likely to be the fact that I will have my own Internet access. I'm willing to skimp on virtually anything other than the fact that I have to be able to get at least DSL in my apartment. That means no more ( Read more... )

I was in class, but instead of paying attention, I was pro-wrestling (or perhaps ultimate-fighting) with an old acquaintance. The teacher was irritated, so I attempted to extricate myself from my opponent's deathgrip. Oddly, he seemed to have the consistency of uncooked pizza dough [no doubt due to the episode of Good Eats the night before]. Before ( Read more... )

In JPNS402, next week's activity is debate. The specific topic for which I ended up signing up was "bootlegging of music, et cetera." The reason that one stuck out to me, of course, was the mass of videos and comics I've illegally acquired from various sources over the last few years, and the fact that I never really thought too much about the ( Read more... )
