Friday Five

Saturday, January 29th, 2005

This week’s friday five:

What blood group are you?
You know, I’m not even sure. I know my mom told me when I asked her in junior high, but I couldn’t tell you now.

Do you give blood? Why/why not?
No. I’m […]

Jennifer Government

Thursday, January 27th, 2005

So I’m sure you’ve all seen this, but humor me. Nation States is the online game that goes along with Jennifer Government. JG is this crazy book about what would happen if corporations entirely (instead of mostly) owned the world.
Anyway, this is my nation, and this is my friend L’s nation.
Who else has […]

Ice, no snow, and photographs

Sunday, January 23rd, 2005

Well, the inclement weather never bothered to show itself. Sure, it was cold as hell. Sure, there was precipitation falling from the sky. But those things didn’t combine in the proper way to create fluffy, soft flakes falling softly to the ground. And I was sad. Sad especially because it […]

A distinct lack of weather

Friday, January 21st, 2005

The snow gods really annoy me sometimes. I went to bed last night thinking it was probably too warm, but holding out hope. The Kitten kept waking me up all night for a reason I, in my sleepy-headedness, couldn’t fathom (her food bowl was empty). I thought she was trying to tell […]

Friday Five

Friday, January 21st, 2005

An intensely introspective friday five.

Which is worse, the Burning Question ~OR~ the Painful Truth?
Burning Question, no doubt. People can come up with much worse things when left with only their idle imagination. I mean, sure, not *all* the time, but most of the time. When it’s a […]

Return of the Friday Five

Friday, January 14th, 2005

Yay! The Friday Five is back. Commence with the narcissistic question-answering:

How often do you cook at home?Well, that mostly depends on your definition of ‘cook.’ If asking K “Hey, what can I do” or washing up after is considered ‘cooking’ then I cook at home most nights. If not, well, maybe […]

Books and comics, oh my! (list meme)

Monday, January 10th, 2005

Both lists snagged from Komejo, he of the Feral Chicken cartoon, much wood-workery, and general fabulousness.
Copy this list of 10 authors. Remove the ones not on your bookshelves and replace each of them with ones that are (replaced authors are in bold).

Mark Twain
Isaac Asimov
J.R.R. Tolkien
Madeline L’Engle
Henry David Thoreau
Edgar Allen Poe
J. K. Rowling
Neil Gaiman
Sir Arthur Conan […]

Vacation, holidays, return to work, plus a new season of television.

Thursday, January 6th, 2005

The holidays totally rock, especially since the company I work for sees fit to give some folks a little extra time off around December. This year, it was pretty much the last week of December. I had a little time to burn as well, and it turned in to a fabu almost-2-week sabbatical. […]
