When my mother was here last during my medical crisis, I foolishly decided to show her the Sword Form. Why? Because I was drugged up and thought it would be a good idea. Why? Stop questioning me! I don’t know. I honestly don’t. It’s because I love my weapons so much and maybe I wanted… Continue Reading
It’s interesting thet things that get left unsaid. When I talk about my medical crisis, for example, I have no problems saying taht I was in a coma for a week, but I don’t like to mention what actually happened. Why? Because it seems…almost like bragging? I’m not sure exactly why. It’s partly because, and… Continue Reading
I’ve been watching a lot of reaction videos to Tim Minchin songs lately. Why? Because! I’ve been into Tim for decades and I thought he was pretty niche. Well, he was. He’s gotten bigger (and, sadly, more conservative not in politics, maybe, but in ideas) over the years. My favorite to watch is White Wine… Continue Reading
Yes, we’re talking about family gaain. It’s the holiday sesaon, which can make or break a family. There are so many expectiatons during this time that rarely get met. I honestly believe that if people just chilled the fuck out and thought, “We’ll hang and have fun no matter what”, so much family drama would… Continue Reading
Back when the country was debating marriage equality (called same-sex marriageat the time), there was a meta-debate raging about the ‘tone’ of queers as we argued for our basic civil rights. And, yes, I am framing it in a deliberate way beacause I rail against the notion of neutrality when it comes to the issue.… Continue Reading
Last night, I was talking to my mom. My father had been in a minor fender bender while in a taxi, which is bad, yes, but he didn’t even need to go to the hospital. Still, I was properly sympathetic because it’s scary to be in any kind of car accident for most people. Me,… Continue Reading
Since writing about Yak 0 (Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio), I have not gone back to it. I feel like I should and I have had several people tell me that I need to get through chapter four before making a decision. I read on the Google that Majima shows up in chapter three and he’s… Continue Reading
One phrase that is guaranteed to send me into an instant rage is “But if you reverse the _____ (genders, sexual orientations, races, etc.), then people would be up in arms about it!” I hate it with the intensity of a thousand suns. Why? Because it strips all context from a situation. “A woman can… Continue Reading
It’s the most bogus time of the year. I know that’s not how the song goes, but bite me. I’m in a bad mood today because Regions Hospital just called and told me that the echocardiogram and heart doc visit I have been trying to plan for the last two months and had finally managed… Continue Reading
I have a huge pile of shame as do most (if not all) gamers. Especially on PC, it’s too easy to go to Steam and pick up ten games at a dollar each. They have sales all the damn time. I just bought Steelrising (Spiders) and Judgment (Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio) in the Autumn Sale… Continue Reading
