Breaking up with Azeroth
Well, this had to happen at one point. I guess it's as good a time as any...
I just quit WoW.
It's a strange feeling. I've been playing it for just over three years. I made a lot of good friends in the game and some of those friends are still playing.
But I'm bored with it. I'm tired of the constant need to grind - to grind Badges of Justice, to ( Read more... ) -
Slow Motion
There's a tiny portion of my mind that screams in terror at the notion of a social networking site. The thought of every girl I've ever dated being on the same network as my wife is depressing; every embarrassing thing I've ever done is out there somewhere, a simple friend-of-friend away, and only the gloss of time can wipe away the mistakes of ( Read more... ) -
Fall Out Boy in Manila - Sept 20, 2007
Sadly, I didn't get to take any photos, as security was quite tight. (I do have one photo, but it's not very good).
We were, however, upgraded to a much nicer section after it was discovered that our seats had not been booked properly by TicketNet. We were thirty feet from the stage! What a treat!
Here's the set list from last night's concert. I' ( Read more... ) -
Eat your heart out, Dave
As usual, we didn't get to take a lot of photos at my birthday party.
But I think this one makes up for all the ones we didn't take.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon
Two sleeping dogs, a beer, and some episodes of Green Wing.
Lethargy is king once more.
I have some angst I'll work out when the week starts. For now, I'm just going to enjoy my sunset in peace.

Singapore Day 3 - much delayed
S’pore, Day 3. Of the three meals in the day, the one I have come to look forward to the most is breakfast. It’s not that I don’t appreciate a hearty lunch or dinner, but that I find myself terribly unappreciative of the spices they use in preparing their food. Asian food is an epicure’s delight - full of tangy, fulsome flavor - yet I find ( Read more... ) -
Singapore, 2007
Day 1 in Singapore - well, not really: I flew in late last night, late enough that there weren't that many people in the Metro, yet not late enough that the Metro was shut down. Because I'm only expecting funds to be deposited into my account later today, cheap is the order of the day. Cabbing it here would have cost me more than $20. The Metro ( Read more... ) -
Running On Empty
A rare opportunity came to me at work today: a chance to try out the Nike iPod Sport Kit. If you haven't seen it in stores yet, well, it consists of two small parts: a little gadget that you put in your sneaker (ideally, a Nike+ compatible shoe, which has a hole in the heel you stick the gadget in) and a dongle you plug into your iPod Nano. The ( Read more... )
