I went out tonight (last night by the time you read this) to the Acme Comedy Club. I haven’t been to a comedy club in….forever? Damn. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been to one, it’s been that long. Anyway, Ian’s friend with the emcee (@ItsTheBrandi) on Twitter, and he asked if I wanted… Continue Reading
Eight years ago, the Republican Party nominated John McCain as their presidential candidate. He lost, obviously, and the Tea Party, nee the Teabaggers, were formed soon after. Ostensibly, they were for lower taxes and smaller government, but in reality, they were just pissed that a black man had won the election and was going to… Continue Reading
Yesterday was National Coming Out Day. I’m a bad bi because I didn’t know, as I didn’t know that September 23rd was Celebrate Bisexuality Day. I don’t generally care about holidays, no matter if they relate to me or not*, so I don’t keep up on all these additional ones. The only reason I knew about today’s… Continue Reading
Remember way back to last week when I gave Disney a modicum of praise for searching for a Chinese actress to play Mulan in the live-action version of the movie? I felt stupid for being so grateful, but that’s the low bar that I’ve set for Hollywood concerning Asian actors in movies. Well, I rescind… Continue Reading
I’ve never been a joiner, and I don’t particularly care for groups. I find that no matter how liberal the group, there is a core mentality to which you have to adhere in order to be embraced. Otherwise, you’re tolerated at best, coldly snubbed at worst. As anyone who has interacted with me knows, I’m… Continue Reading
It’s been two weeks since I beat Dark Souls III, and I still have feelings about it. In the meantime, I’ve started two new playthroughs, one as a cleric/pyromancer and one as a tank. A warrior to be specific. While the cleric/pyromancer is similar to my pyromancer, the warrior is completely different. I’m mostly pumping… Continue Reading
When I first heard that Disney was planning a live-action version of Mulan, my first reaction was, “They better cast an Asian person as Mulan.” I know it sounds ridiculous for me to say that because Mulan is fucking Chinese, but I wasn’t the only one as there was a petition to make sure Mulan… Continue Reading
I hate change. No, that’s not hyperbole; I really do. I eat the same food almost every day in roughly the same order. I have a morning routine that I’m trying to vary, but not with much success. When I go to sleep, I have a ritual in the way I lie down that I… Continue Reading
Hey, melee players, fuck you. I’m kidding, of course, but you’ll pardon me from being a little salty at how much shit casters get, especially from the Souls community. I would like to say up front that I know the Souls games are made to be played as a melee character, and I’ve bitched more… Continue Reading
I have a niece who is beautiful, creative, sensitive, kindhearted, and intelligent. I’ve said she’s like me, but the 2.0 version because she’s been encouraged to cultivate her artistic talents and has been doing so ever since she was little. She just graduated from Perpich Arts High School, and I couldn’t be prouder of her.… Continue Reading
