Had weird dreams today. Stuff about super heroes driving semi-trucks across country because all the real truckers had been killed off by some deadly virus. And then my neighbors using Japanese paper laterns to direct the pack of vicious velociraptors through our yard instead of their own, and the cats watching through the front livingroom window ( Read more... )

For Christmas this year, I asked Dino for a new camera. I wanted a step-up from the usual point-and-shoot models, something "almost professional" is what I said. And we independantly both did some research on what was available and the different features. Apparently we both also came to the same conclusion on what would be perfect for me, so I ( Read more... )

Talking about Takuya's younger brother in a comment to laridian in this post, got me to thinking about Ye Olde Sims, from when I first started playing the game not long after it was released. I went hunting for a picture of Takuya's brother - Kanau - and found all sorts of fun things ( Read more... )

Any of the gamers on my flist interested in Tabula Rasa? When Dino signed up with NCsoft to play CoX, he was given the option to try out the beta for it, but he didn't because he didn't really have the extra time, but he said it looked pretty interesting, and he looked up some information about it. When we were in Best Buy last weekend, we saw ( Read more... )

I think the nature of the dream I had during my nap this afternoon suggests that I've been playing way too much CoX this weekend. And watching Dino play way too much Driver: Parallel Lines. Alas, I never did find out why Heat Lightning and Kederren got arrested, but the team souping up the 70s era Ford Mustang and using it to smash through the ( Read more... )

I haven't been updating much lately, have I? Well, since I am in the middle of a Sims game back-up and can't do much else until it's done (that's a lie, there's lots of other things I could be doing but... meh... ), then I shall do a Life Update.

I've discovered that I think waaaaay too much when I write. As a result, it takes me forever to write anything. Seriously. About two pages of writing tonight took me something close to 3 hours. This is why it takes me months to post anything! I really need to do something about this. Work on my stream of consciousness process or some junk, ( Read more... )

I'm going to blame insomnia. I'm still having a difficult time sleeping for longer than 4 hours at a pop, and let me tell you something - it really sucks. Especially on class days. Especially with an instructor who not only drones, but also shows us endless dry videos. Now, don't get me wrong - I like history a great deal. But this instructor ( Read more... )
