I got dumped via IM from the other end of the house once, does that say anything about what the world has come to?

technology makes you stupid
It's been over 80 for the last few days, and I'm going up to Portland for the rest of this week to see my sister, so I took advantage of the warm weather and went for a run yesterday afternoon. My brain quickly tuned out and started working on this story I'm about to publish, so my feet went the...
The family always smiled and nodded regarding Wil's smurf-collection at first. However, as the years went on and he never seemed to get around to adding Smurfette to the collection, "Creepy Uncle Willy" stopped being asked to the family holidays.

This is crying out for a caption. I'll choose my favorite, and send something neat* to whoever writes it. Submissions open throughout the weekend, one per person, and can only be left as comments here (it's too difficult to track on Twitter or via e-mail). *definition of 'neat' will be at my s...
It doesn't happen nearly as often anymore, but for years I could set off security alarms in the larger stores just by walking through them. Not having any merchandise or anything like that, just me walking through the gate-thingies. Oh yeah, that could be fun at a crowded best buy during busy shopping seasons. It was actually something of a running joke, what the odds would be for each time exiting a store.

Number of years back a buddy of mine took a car to sears to have a new tire put on (I think, it's been a good while), and as it turned out they kinda forgot to do a silly little thing like put the lugnuts back on... wheel fell off in the parking lot. Yeah, they don't get my money either.

Yes, but if wacky parallel universe me properly posted in response to bizarro Wil the consequences would be dire indeed.
Still, nothin wrong with the right kinda nerd pile-on. Just sayin.

I'll admit that the big R was my first experience there, I think it comes from being a few years younger and having the benefit of a bit more penetration into the culture by the time we rolled around. However, I'm looking over onto my shelf right now at the metal box from that weird Akira re-release and the big box of remastered Macross from AnimeIgo... okay I'm a huge dork.

The future is not a straight line. It is filled with many crossroads.
If you're of a certain age, do you remember the first time you saw AKIRA, or any of the Dirty Pair or original Macross cartoons? Coming from a steady diet of Hannah Barbera cartoons, it was like trading a transistor radio for a high-end stereo or seeing the grand canyon with my own eyes. The cin...

Because I am too busy for a proper post, I offer a very brief trip report: I went to Seattle at the end of last week, where I not only got to spend three days with my friends from Penny Arcade, I finally got to take a tour of the Wizards of the Coast offices after years of being invited to check...

While you're out doing your last minute holiday shopping, you may happen upon a little device known as The Slap Chop. You may have seen it on TV, and you may have heard that it purports to: "Chop up vegetables, nuts, & fruits, quickly and easily" with just a few simple slaps. And who doesn't lik...
And this is exactly why I would take the hell out of this class. I'm suddenly in a position to need algebra and such once more... yeah, I am so embarrassed by how much I have lost.

In for.. okay, well it's not actually much but I'm not even working right now and I scraped up some dough. If I can, none of y'all have an excuse not to throw at least a few bucks towards a good cause.
It is worth noting that our shelter rescue cat "helped" me enter my card information at the donation site. She was ever so helpful.

Okay fine, I'll stop... sheesh. Some people. But for the record, I really do think that having the info out there that a person is a mass murderer and has a fondness for 4-legged-fun just adds character. You know, just sayin.
