Just thought I'd share this around.

The Hero Machine

Check it out.  It's a fun little design-a-character that allows you to choose from dozens of options in all sorts of categories (all pieces of costume, hair, background, animal companion, auras, and hand weapons/props, and so on).  For the roleplayers out there that can't draw for the life of them ( Read more... )

As a Canadian, and as pretty much everyone who might read this is Canadian, this post might be kind of pointless.  But I'd like to take a minute to talk about the U.S. Presidential primaries, and specifically about Barack Obama.

I'm not sure how much people who read this follow U.S. politics.  I do, though, and for a couple of reasons.  Partially, ( Read more... )

Long post warning (edit: yes, I know its not actually that long...extended a bit from the original though)

This weekend, on Sunday morning, my brother Greg's wife, Erin, gave birth to a baby girl.  Her name is Claire.  Visited them yesterday in the hospital.  I would say she is cute, but I don't really have standards to compare her with, as I've ( Read more... )

Another long post...not because of any great happenings or events of staggering importance, but just cause I want to babble on for a while...beware.

Last Friday I saw 1408 with

Back from the cottage.  Actually, got back Monday, but thats unimportant.

Had a good time up there.  The weather wasn't as warm as I would have liked, and it also kept raining on and off.  This prevented swimming from being an enjoyable activity.  However, I was able to basically relax all weekend long.  Also got some good reading time in, which I ( Read more... )

I'm stuck in a rut, and it getting me down.  The last couple weeks, I've done pretty much nothing apart from a bit of work, video games, and internet.  The only shining exception to this was

Just finished my last exam this afternoon, so I can finally relax...or not, cause I have enough other things to do that are stressing me out a bit.

However, exams first.  The one I had on Saturday was a real bastard.  The teacher switched the terms from the study sheet we got, or at least made them different enough to be a headache.  So, out of the ( Read more... )

This last week has been...interesting.  Actually, less interesting (although it was to me), just really busy combined with a lack of sleep.

Last Wednesday I had my grading in karate for green belt.  Passed, though I missed the belt ceremony because I forgot to set my alarm when I was having a nap this Monday.  I also damaged my foot enough to make ( Read more... )

Time again for the monthly posting.  I keep trying to post more often, but I always forget.

School is blah.  Its pretty boring right now, just finishing up with the last few essays before exams.  Was in Ottawa a couple weeks ago for a model UN, which was a grand old time.  It was less stressful and more fun than I thought it would be.  Unfortunately ( Read more... )

First post in two months.  Don't know why, but I haven't really felt like writing anything, despite everything thats been going on.  This may be a long one, so I'll cut it for convenience.

School has been going fairly well so far.  Got an A- in a project I threw together at the last minute, and in which I expected maybe a B- or worse.  Haven't ( Read more... )
