We're coming for you Fuji-San
So at the beginning of the week the wife and I watched Toradora, a romantic comedy about people meeting, falling in love, and enjoying the rest of their life. It really is a great series. I love it, and would recommend it. When it was over, it set off a massive wave of depression in me. It is weird how sometimes the most innocuous (or even ( Read more... ) -
Weekend!
This was one of those busy weekends that went quick, where Laura and I were socially active. Sometimes we don’t have those weekends, sometimes we don’t even want to leave our house. Of course than there are weekends like this weekend, where we are go, Go , GO!!!!
We saw Evil Dead on Friday with Bex and Ganz. All the things you heard about it are ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I was thinking that I could start off this piece by complain about the Game of Thrones premiere last night…I did that.
Last weekend I was at Zenkaikon running panels like nobody’s business. See the schedule in the post below. Although, I did not run ALL THE PANELS!!!!! I think as a group we did maybe 11 or 12 between us. I was on 4 or 5 that were ( Read more... ) -
The Monster Under the Bed
Everyone fell off to sleep, leaving Alayna the last one awake. If that is what you could call it. Awake, asleep, these terms didn’t quite apply anymore. She never needed sleep. During the day she could, and often would, fall into something that resembled a coma, but that wasn’t sleep. Those times when she fell unconscious, when she was most ( Read more... ) -
A Week of Batshit
So I spent all of last week in bed, at least when I wasn’t at work. My life last week consisted of getting up, going to work, coming home and trying to sleep off the cold that I somehow acquired over the weekend. Gabi held out until Wednesday of last week before she went down in flames as well. I felt like a complete crud because of that, mostly ( Read more... ) -
I Felt Like I Was at University Today
DOA 3 and DOA 2 hardcore came out while I was in college. I played those games a lot. I also worked on campus, and spent a lot of time in North Philadelphia. My wife recently got a job in North Philly, not two blocks south of our university. I’ve also been playing a lot of DOA 5 recently. When I drove her into work this morning, before coming to ( Read more... ) -
Console Cycle…
So in a year we’ll be staring down the barrel of a new console cycle. I guess technically we are already in the midst of it with the Wii-U. Never the less, for the purposes of this post, I will refer to the Xbox 360, the PS3 and the Wii as the current cycle. This is one thing I do like about consoles. They seem to reboot every few years, giving ( Read more... ) -
Math, Science, and Authordom.
Over on the World Policy Institute’s website Neal Stephenson has a great piece in regards to the unfortunate decline of science in the west. It focuses some points on the job of the science fiction author in regards to creating the vision for big ideas, to give our scientists and engineers the muse so that the “big stuff gets done.” It is an ( Read more... ) -

Happy Fasnacht Day!
It is Shrove Tuesday and for those of you who are of the Christian faith, this is the day where you get to gorge before giving up something for Lent. It is around this time of year that I make my traditional joke of, when I was fourteen I gave up organized religion for Lent one year and it improved my life so much that I forgot to go back to it ( Read more... )
