The toilet seat was down…
There should be no reason for the toilet seat to be down; he certainly hadn’t put it down. He lived alone and, when you live alone you can leave the toilet seat in whatever position you see fit. There was a time when the seat was always down (unless he forgot - an act the invited extreme overreaction,) but those days had long since passed.
But the toilet seat was...

The Birthday Post - Welcome to 3.0
It is currently 1:30am here in middle America. It will be significantly later by the time I finish this post, and later still by the time you actually read it, but right now its 1:30am on July 13th, 2010; my 29th birthday.
When I decided to start blogging again I wanted to avoid posts that delved into my personal life. To most, my life is as uninteresting as the guy they sit next to on the bus,...

The Horror of Horror
This is a topic near and dear to my heart. Horror has ever been, and will continue to be, my favorite member of the genre pantheon, and I’m tired of seeing its definition and flavor watered down and applied to everything. Let me help you see the truth.
It seems to me that horror has been distilled to mean anything scary, from aliens to ax-murderers. This is incorrect. “Scary” is...

The Line Between Fan and Fiction
I don’t know if you have seen this or not, but Blizzard is running a creative writing contest. The long and short of it is that you submit a story based on one of their universes, they read it, and if they like it YOU WIN. What you win is largely unimportant (to me anyway) but the opportunity to flex the creative muscle muscle is always appealing to me.
There are, of course, problems with...

Yes, We Can
My friends would never describe me as an emotional person. Irrational, Irritable, and (occasionally (maybe)) crazy but never emotional. So the revelation that I was very close to tears watching Obama’s acceptance speech tonight will probably come as a bit of a surprise. Hell, I was surprised. Love or hate Obama what you witnessed tonight is something you will tell your children about and...

Teaching Old Dogs
It’s been a while since I have actually learned something new in regards to computers. Sure, when I switched over to using a Mac almost exclusively I certainly had to adapt, but I wouldn’t call that actual learning. My brain didn’t absorb any new knowledge; it simply transformed and shaped old knowledge until it was compatible with my new platform. Nothing i do in OSX is anything...

Youth Movement
It’s dark in this room. To my left I can hear Plachs snoring softly on the couch. Behind me, Chester sleeps soundly in his room (with the door locked to prevent any nutsonface attacks from Joe) and beyond that, Joe sleeps while Arrested Development plays on his TV. So what am I doing awake at this hour? Originally I was going to write (I do that now thank you very much) but I found myself...

Zeros And Ones
One of the things I dread in life is going to the movies. Don’t get me wrong; I thoroughly enjoy seeing a movie as God intended, but that isn’t the portion of the movie-going experience that frightens me. I fear the post-coital Q&A session that inevitably follows. Five words is all it takes to invoke one of those rare situations where I am void of intelligent thought (you roll...

Nightmares
The mind is a funny thing. When you are young it’s all about what’s hiding in the dark. Your mind is so new and unexperienced that you don’t know what is hiding where you cannot see. Your imagination betrays you and starts concocting all manner of terrible shit that could possibly be lingering under your bed. Then your subconscious gets in on the fun and suddenly those...

New Years Resolutions...
It’s been a while since we spoke last. I will skip the pleasantries because I assume your answers will be “Fine” and “No, nothing new.” Oddly enough, those are my answers as well. Writing you ask? Well, it’s been so long since we talked that I’m sure you are expecting my opus to be complete. Hell, I’ve had a year to complete it; surely that was enough...

Something real quick
Sorry for the lack of updates - been a busy few weeks. For those of you looking for a quick update: No writing to speak of but a lot of Windwaker. For now you should all read this. It’s one of the best articles I have read and may earn The Wiikly a spot in the links section (a true honor indeed.) Fish Out

The Blogger Beta Is Buggy As Shit
I’m going to bed because I am tired of trying to understand the reason the blogger beta (to which my account was moved automatically this evening) insists on double and triple posting my posts even after I delete them and republish the entire blog. If there are double posts of this or any other entry you know now that it isn’t because I’m an idiot. Maybe this is why they call it...

It's Long - But I Allude To Sex Twice!
I’ve never had anything good to say about the Zelda games. Since the beginning of time I have beat a total of 2 Zelda games: Zelda 2 - The Adventure of Link (mario+elves+shooting sword - who the fuck didn’t love this game) and Four Swords (had to justify the purchase of the gba link cable… and I got to call io_burn a “loot-whoring fuckwit” which is always a plus.) ...
