May The Fourth Be With You! It’s time to party like only an intergalactic assassin droid can. Happy Star Wars Day!

Found out on Tuesday that for the rest of this week, I am the team lead/coordinator for two different integrated project teams on two different projects, thanks to a quirk confluence of annual leave. So, I get to be the boss of two disparate things, with all the attendant rights and responsibilities (but not the […]

Today’s xkcd is just really rubbing our faces in it now by pointing out the theatrical release of The Little Mermaid is chronologically closer to the original moon landings than it is to the present day. I don’t even want to contemplate The Goonies right now.

It takes a bit of work to shake off the effects of a convention weekend. I’m not sure if it’s euphoria, stress, exhaustion, or just dust on the social interaction muscles of a misanthropic introvert, but it always makes starting the week back in the mundane world a less than appetizing proposition.

His answer is […]

Quoth on facebook (hock, ptooie!) a person I dated once upon a time many, many moons ago: “Maybe If I was drunk I’d understand ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. The World’” Which spurred the following thought in my head: Well, that’s why things between us went the way they did… A mystery I never thought much about, […]

I thought a bit about writing something about my reaction to the “spectacle” surrounding this year’s Super Bowl, though it seems, as usual, while I was dithering about in the gym and looking into a regular Monday night d20 game last evening, Amanda beat me to it. And, she pretty much mirrors what I was […]

…and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today. It’s coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach? Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you know, that, uh, that blizzard thing. That blizzard – thing. That blizzard – thing. Oh, well, here’s the […]
