Here we go...

- Best story I've read today, and in recent years (provided it is true): Woman comes back to life after rigor mortis sets in. No brain activity for 17 hours? Holy shit! (Update: Some sources are saying minutes and not hours... can anyone get this story straight?)

- Looking for a cool new comic to read? Even if it's manga? I guarantee it ( Read more... )

Hey, you attending New York Comic Con? Are you a Warhammer fan? Well, I'm a Warhammer fan who wished he was going, but I can't.
(But if I get sad about this or SDCC, I just remind myself that I own a house now. The tears dry up pretty quick.)

Boom Studios has a pretty impressive line-up and signing schedule at their booth, but one thing which would ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a bit loopy and surly today. I think it's because I worked out too hard last night.

- Beat Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Again. It's been years, though, and I noticed a few things. 1) The Xbox version is more fun than the PC version. Could be a number of factors, including playing while jogging and having a controller that vibrates. 2) ( Read more... )

...in order to handle The Post-Apocalyptic Awesome!

Now I just need to find copies of the following books: Damnation Alley and Hardwired

I read both (and probably owned both) long ago. Though I never realised Hardwired was part of a series...

Time for the Chumbata Samba Dance!

(Which was funny to me and my game group when I was 15.)

So, when you are in ( Read more... )

I have a few moments... so on to some other things I have on my mind...

- Political thought: Calling John McCain a "war hero" would be like me being prison-raped and then saying I'm an expert on Women's Rights. Though I have respect for the man in regards to what he went through, the fact is he's no hero. Not in any case. A tough dude who made the ( Read more... )

I was up kinda early this morning. My lovely spousal unit got a chance to talk to me for a bit before she left for work...

Her: "So I saw that outline you wrote up while I was on the desktop earlier."
Me:  "Yeah? What did you think?"
Her: "Sometimes I wonder how I sleep next to you unarmed."
Me: "Victory."

Allow me to yabble to you two recent examples.

For some reason, a guy engaged me in conversation recently. He was probably in his mid-20s. We were making small talk and then things got kinda weird...

"So, do you think you're too young to have kids?"
"Me? No. I'm thirty-two years old."
"That's pretty young."
"It is? I was 28 when my oldest son was born."

It sure does feel good to be getting something done. What's getting done? Perhaps I will drop that little bomb soon or something. But! I can give the following hints:

1) It has nothing to do with Orcs, despite the name.
2) Yes, a gnome is involved.
3) Drake and Vance will also be working on it at various points, and Drake has already contributed spec ( Read more... )

Monday night, Sharon and I went out for our anniversary dinner to the Irish Times Pub. Sure, it's pretty touristy; but Mondays it has more locals. It's also kinda on the pricier side, but dinner was on Sharon's parents... so we kinda went crazy with t3h Foodz. We ate fresh oysters on the half-shell (oyster power!), the best Stilton & artichoke dip ( Read more... )

Not too much time to get into a "real" post, so here are some notes:

+ Today is Sharon and I's 4th wedding anniversary.

+ We are celebrating this with the second part of Drake's evaluation. In a couple of hours our home will be invaded by social workers and shrinks. Sharon tells me they are nice people. I have candies for them just in case.

+ Speaking ( Read more... )
