  • Weird-Ass Summer

    I was pessimistic about this summer being awesome. Yet somehow, its starting to defy all the expectations of the 9-5 job, single-small-town way. Two big things:– I’ve discovered gymnastics.– I’m going to live in Toronto for two weeks at the end (I know defies the conditions at the beginning) I feel much fitter/less shitty than…

  • Chapter Confusion (spontaneous rant)

    Heres another thing about video games. I’m currently in the midst of playing a few, I find its good to keep a few going at the same time for interest. They are: Dreamfall: Longest Journey and Opposing, and some others. Anyway, I’m also reading a bunch of books. I’m reading Foucalt’s Pendulum specifically, the thickest,…

  • Half-Life 2: Episode 2 Review

    Holy crap. I just finished HL2:E1 a few seconds ago, and I’m going to say it was fantastic. I took tons of screenshots, and I’m going to play this again, of course, with the Valve commentary, but, for now, here’s the review. I’m going to be incredibly critical because there’s really no other way to…

  • HEAT

    It doesn’t make much of a difference which side of the bars you’re on – you still feel the heat. —————————————————– My eyes peer out from my personal shadow; the guard leaning against the wall is relaxed. He is slowly melting. The whole place sweats, including the walls. I remember some moaning, some time ago,…

  • Last Night

    Bread Baking Improv Party Last Night.Jim made bread.I brought 6 pounds of watermelon. We played very difficult charades, which someone compared to how if accountants were to have a party, they would get together on a really difficult case, and just end up working at the party. I just finished a math exam.

  • I have a robot obsession

    I was going to write something about the bipolar street performer I met last night who told me that he had a 90% chance of committing suicide. Then, I was going to write about the representation of computer games in recent films. But… …I decided it would be much more fun to talk about robots.…
