So Sleepy...

Finding that Special Someone
Tristan, our Himalayan, is in love.
With a poodle.
Yes, this is the same cat that hid away under our dining room table for a whole year. The cat that will run in terror, smack up against walls, and keep going until he's wedged behind something, when guests come over. The one that smashed through our Christmas tree one year during a party. The cat ( Read more... ) -
Dracula: The Un-dead
Absolutely awful. One of the worst books I've ever read. And yes, that is saying something. My friends here know I slogged through two of the Twilight books and I will tolerate a lot in the hopes of things improving. (Why I read two of Twilight - I thought maybe things would get better in the second. Oh, how very wrong I was.)
For something that ( Read more... ) -
Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror
Originally released in 1996, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars was remade for the DS/Wii in 2009, the "Director's Cut" then put out on the Mac, PC, and mobile devices. New artwork was done by Dave Gibbons (artist responsible for drawing Watchmen). It's essentially the same game but Nicole Collard is playable and some of the puzzles have been ( Read more... ) -
Civilization V
After playing two games of Civilization V, I figured I'd sit down and write a bit about it. I played it WAY too much in the past three days and managed to give myself a migraine from staring at a computer screen for too long. Note to self: never do that again.
This is mostly for felis_ultharus 's benefit as I know he's a big fan of Civilization IV and might ( Read more... ) -
Such a Computer Game Whore
Never had a system before this one that really allowed me to get into computer games. Sure, I had a few games here or there but I had to be careful about what I could pick up as it probably wouldn't run on my system. Mostly, I played those TSR gold box sets.
Steam has completely taken over my childish glee towards computer games. It started out ( Read more... ) -
Scary
Hieronymus Bosch is and always will be the scariest artist in my book. His paintings give me the creeps like no other. The times I've seen some of his paintings in person, I feel like demons are sneaking behind me for the rest of the day. -
Artistic Influences - Drawings and Paintings
We all have them and here are mine, as far as drawing goes. I'd say the two artistic art movements that I am heavily influenced by are the ukiyo-e prints (Yoshitoshi, Utamaro, Hokusai, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, and the various images depicting Otani Oniji) of the Edo period and Art Nouveau (which, well, was influenced by ukiyo-e.) I've always been ( Read more... ) -
