(Untitled)
It has been brought to my attention that I have been tardy with posting. This entry will rectify that situation. As I grow older I find life sweeps me up in its sometimes monotonous arms. I blink myself awake, and find that three months has passed. I remember my grandfather often remarking on the swiftness of time, but never thought much about ( Read more... ) -
Pet Sounds
Growing up, my mother made us keep our dogs outside. They were never allowed in the house. The closest compromise would be when it was cold they were allowed in the kitchen which was then barricaded off from the rest of the house. My mother wasn't being cruel. She just comes from an era in which people believe animals should be outside. With ( Read more... ) -
Reflections fo What Life Used to Be...
Or possibly what I want it to be. This month marks two years since I graduated with my Masters in Library and Information Science. Two years of unemployment. Until this point in my life I've been successful in all my endeavors (with the exception of things athletic or math related). When adversity has shown its face I've soldiered forth.

The Weirdness
While PAX East was a rollicking good time there was a bit of weirdness. I waited in line with my friends around four hours for the doors to open on Friday so we could grab seats for Wil Wheaton's keynote speech. I've found that conventions of this sort have a lot of waiting around in ques. We made good use of the time playing with Magic starter ( Read more... ) -
PAX East
A little over a week ago, I attended PAX East in Boston. For those of you who are unawares, PAX stands for the Penny Arcade Game Expo. Penny Arcade is a webcomic about gaming, and each year Gabe and Tyco (the authors/artists) put on PAX in Seattle. This year they opted to give the east coast a whirl as well as the usual west coast. It was ( Read more... ) -
Jesus Died for Somebody's Sins But Not Mine...
All of my friends changed their major at least once in college. I did not because since the age of seven I wanted to be a writer. Not a journalist, but a writer. Through the duration of my undergraduate years I wrote short stories. I was good, but I ensnared in the idea that publication meant validation of my potential. I forgot abut "art ( Read more... ) -
2010
I keep saying 2010 is going to be my year. That has yet to happen. When I was kid I assumed we'd be living on the moon at this point. I know most kids thought that, but I seriously believed due to having an older brother heavily into science fiction. Space: 1999 was a destination not a lame tv show for me. I really wanted to live on the moon ( Read more... ) -
Showdown at Herald Square
I have a great relationship with my family. I have a great relationship with The Girl. I have a great relationship with my friends. I do not have a great relationship with The Girl's family. There are two things going on here: 1) The Girl is the middle child they write all those YA books about 2) even though it's been four and a half years they ( Read more... ) -
Knowledge is Power
Thursdays here in Connecticut is game night. I enjoy these evening of geeky fun immensely. It's nice to have found friends of a feather in regard to a love of most things Whedon, Star Wars, and geekiness in general. This past Thursday, we played Bang! which is a Wild West game in which the outlaws try to kill the Sheriff. That is the basic ( Read more... ) -
