"Black people can’t talk to white people about race anymore. There’s really nothing left to say. There are libraries full of books, interviews, essays, lectures, and symposia. If people want to learn about their own country and its history, it is not incumbent on black people to talk to them about it. It is not our responsibility to educate them ( Read more... ) -
Just a note
I really wish LJ notes could be used across the internet. Since such awesomeness is yet to exist I'm making a note here to remind myself to never purchase anything with Scott Lobdell's name on it. Anyone who is fearful of the word "racism" getting too much usage is not someone I want to throw my money at ( Read more... ) -

I've been making my way through Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares on Netflix and I can't for the life of me understand why people with no background in business or management would think they have what it takes to open up a restaurant. It's quite baffling! Many of the individuals didn't even run the restaurant, they would leave it in the hands of other ( Read more... ) -
Excuse me as I rant about DA2 again
So I'm reading this article about Aveline and how she's written so well and I had to stop halfway through because, no, she's not, no character in Dragon Age 2 is written well. People, can we please take time to analyze DA2's writing critically and not get pulled in by all the dramatics. Because that's what DA2 is filled with, soap opera styled ( Read more... ) -

Watched the Legacy walk through today and I have to admit it's winning me over. One of the downfalls of DA2 was the gameplay. The villains phasing into existence out of nowhere was super annoying and did ruin tactical play. I also like that Legacy isn't similar to a ME2 DLC where there's no party interaction. While they could get away with that in ( Read more... ) -
The sexism, it burns!
Oh, yeah, you know what's super special awesome about DA2? The twins. Bethany is the kind sister and Carver is the jealous brother. There's no way those roles could have been reversed, especially since we all know that sisters have to be nice and sweet and brothers have to be obnoxious jerks. Why would Bethany be jealous of Hawke, anyway? Girls don ( Read more... ) -
Back to Kirkwall
Dragon Age 2 was godawful, but in an effort to build a stronger analysis when I speak or write about its flaws I'm playing it again. I'm trying to understand why females seem to be drawn to the game. I think this might have something to do with the one dimensional characters. Fenris never moves beyond being a slave, Anders is a terrorist, Aveline ( Read more... ) -
In the middle of watching Trapped in the Closet
Hahahahaha, I'm totally in love with this hip hopera. IN LOVE I SAY. I remember having one of my English professors glorfying it (man that was so looong ago) and here I am a few years later and I totally get his enthusiasm. -
I have this Dragon Age comic idea that won't leave me alone.
The main players are Cailan, young Cousland, and Alistair. It's stupid, corny and sweet but that's okay because I like stupid, corny and sweet. I've wanted to draw something for awhile that would touch on my Cousland's hero worship of Cailan, not where it sprouted from but a brief moment exhibiting her adoration which would segue into her ( Read more... ) -
In one of those moods
The type where if I know you're wrong I'm not going to just laugh silently to myself but I have to expose you're stupidity ( Read more... )
