My flight leaves around nine tomorrow morning and I've not yet started my Horror Fiction take-home exam. It's twelve pages of essays. Thankfully I had the foresight to take the class Pass/Fail. Still, I blame Halo 2. Which brings me to my question of the day: Is it wrong that I'm more concerned with my piss-poor target acquisition in a video game than I am...

I should be around this weekend. Drop me an email, and I'll float you my phone number. You can give me a call, and we'll see if we can't meet somewhere.
I started working out again; and, let me tell you, rowing six thousand metres on an ergonometer at seven in the morning is a painful twenty-five minutes. (I wanted to die.) Somehow I thought I'd be pulling 10K daily by Thanksgiving. Funny, Archer; you're very funny.
On an unrelated note, Seattle is just three days away. Well, the Seattle area anyway.

Did you ever apply to Clarion? And are you going to visit anyone in the Seattle area? (wink-wink) I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Drop him a line.
Edited to add: I'll have him buy you that beer I owe you.

1. The Incredibles is amazing. I haven't laughed that hard for that long at the movies in a great while. Pure superhero comic genius. If you like comic books or Pixar or laughing, do yourself a favor and go watch it.
2. I reserved Halo 2 today at lunch. Gamestop will be re-opening Monday at midnight to deliver me its anticipated goodness. The only...

1) Yes, very amazing. I watched the whole thing and my cheeks hurt by the end of it.
2) Yes, but wouldn't Halo 2 help you with your Horror Fiction take home exam?
3) Yay dinners.

A girl asked me for my number yesterday. Tonight I'm taking her out. Awesome.

Haha... I honestly can't think of a time where someone has called me by my middle name. This may be the only place where more than two people actually know it.

Yeah, I think I'm pretty much set with this one. I highly doubt I could ever do any better.
I want nothing more than to monitor Flux's Magical Realism Roundtable. Unfortunately I now have a screaming caffeine headache and am only capable of basic motor functions. My laptop's display is making me sick, too, so I'm going to sleep. I'll catch up on the action in the morning - when I've likely missed all of the tasty bits of the discussion.
G'night, NHS.

Dear CMN 631 Group,
Please do not issue a mock press release containing both "terrible incident" and "routine procedure" in the first sentence without consulting me first. Twenty percent of my grade in the course is on the line during tomorrow's presentation too, and I'd like to salvage what I can. Try not speaking. That way I might have a chance at a "B" despite...

Why does your course name contain only one word with its full compliment of letters? Is the school to in the hole to buy vowels?

You know you're a dork when you stay up until four arguing a situation from the night's D&D session.
For those of you who are curious, I've placed the tail-end of the converstation below. But be warned: the transcript has the distinct potential to baffle or bore you. Really, I suggest you stop reading now. Unless, that is, you're a fellow D&D freak and you...

What a freaking wierdo.
One of our PCs in our Star Wars game was killed for pulling a slugthrower on another PC (Dark Jedi). The Dark Jedi ended up cutting him in half. And the PC who died (a Zabrak soldier) was all like, "Well, I made a mistake, I shouldn't have pulled the gun on him."
Granted, it was completely within his right to do so, the Dark Jedi had just murdered and was looting a body that the Zabrak Soldier was trying to save.

I'm going to the fair state of Vermont for my rescheduled respite from city life. I plan to move rocks, read fireside, and drink beer all weekend. I'll probably touch my snowmobile, too. Miss me.

Well, I'm knitting a green one too.

I sense that madness is preparing to move through this city in a wave.
Update:
My apartment is still standing, there are no drunk people on my floor, and I don't think anyone was stabbed, immolated, or shot through the eye with a pepperspray pellet. I guess the city can count the night a victory, then. Still though, I don't understand what makes the college...

No need for apprentices. Sorry. Really, though, I'm not much good for learning anything except how to invent new swears as the need arises, pass for sober no matter what, and create mind-numbingly durable catch phrases.

If I were you, I'd go hide out somewhere. I have a fold out sofa you're welcome to.
I've had 6gig's album Tincan Experiment stuck in my head for over a week now. I finally caved yesterday and decided to buy it so I'd be free. Yet somehow there isn't a single copy of the damned CD anywhere in Boston. I know because I checked. It's enough to make me snarl.

songs get stuck in my head so easily. going to the mall is especially bad because you know the mall never plays good music. so i will hear 5 seconds of generic popstar a and it will be stuck in my head for days. terrible!
i'm looking forward to buying some. confrontation minis that is.
i'm working on my online portfolio now. i have the design made and everything, i just have to throw it all together now. and find the free time to do it.

Naw, it's still going to launch. It just got pushed back a couple of months. Writing for magazines isn't my real job. It's just what I do while I'm at the real job.
The Deadline Board says that I have much work to do this weekend, so I will be scarce here. I suspect the land of black and pink isn't going anywhere, though, and I'll see you on the other side of Monday. In the meantime, have a rockin' weekend, and try not to break anything while I'm gone.
And if you're a gamer, or you just...

I can't promise not to break anything; I am carving pumpkins, after all.
I wish I could be more specific as to where I work, but I have a very not-so-fun e-Stalker here on Suicide Girls, and he knows who I am and such. I refuse to change my name again, so I can't really talk about work all too much.
Being behind the mic is fun, much more fun than running boards, but after four years of weekends, it's become old.

I'm glad you liked it! I'm still trying to find someone who has read it (and understood it, unlike my family) to write an Amazon customer review, but sales seem to be strong. I read a post on a RPG forum about a Belgian gamer who travelled 75 miles just to get a copy!
