More randomness.
I sort of took today "off". We had some power surges, and I didn't feel like losing everything at random, so I rested for the afternoon, watched "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" (the new version), went shop…
Things I have learned today:a)Apparently, Roman Legion LARPing is popular. b)My perl skills, while rusty, have not fully decayed. Ph3ar my 133t regexp ski11z!c)A small buzzing insect trapped behind a wall makes noises wh…

In which Lizard hates himself.I actually managed to finish my 14 pages a bit early today, allowing me to finally do some editing on another project which needed to be turned around two days ago. Lizard then realized that…

You write fourteen pages, and whaddya get...to do another 14 pages tomorrow. It's weird how small rituals and familiarities begin to make a place feel homelike. Slowly but surely, we're learning the lay of the land. We h…
Apparently, contrary to all logic and reason, in the South, air conditioners can "freeze over", making them useless and our house into a sauna. In order to "thaw" it, we had to turn it off last night, leading to a night …
Cable modem! Heh heh...cable modem.Deadlines. Big, nasty, evil, deadlines. Back to writing.
House is starting to look like ours. Boxes are still everywhere, but we have some semblance of order. At least there's no boxes on the porch. Can't write much due to work constraints and lousy internet connection, at lea…

Extremely behind schedule, in so many different ways. Will blog more later. Maybe.
Signs You're an Uber-Nerd: You read the headline "Magic GM Gets Death Threats", and your first thought is "What idiot wrote that? Magic is a CCG, not an RPG -- there are no GMs!"
Speaking of Republican ketchup, we also have right-wing ice cream. Apparently, most of the flavours are still theoretical, but you can order some of them. Unfortunately, the overlap between "cute name" and "flavor I'd li…
Some annoying pundit back in the late 1990s -- I forget who, but I had a brief moment of fame when a flame war I was having with him spilled out into the meatspace press -- whined that the problem with the Internet was a…
