Typically, I hate this kind of thing. When someone dies, it’s hard to write about them, even if they were someone you never got to meet in person. But people make an impact, and sometimes it’s so big that when that person is gone, all the words and memories and feelings bubble to the surface and demand to be acknowledged. So it goes.

WORST. GEN CON. EVER. [part the second]
If you didn’t get it from the title, this is the conclusion to my Gen Con experience!
WORST. GEN CON. EVER. [part the first]
That is what I would say if I were totally lying about Gen Con 2013. I’ve actually never been to Gen Con before, so I don’t have a real frame of reference for what constitutes the worst ever. But I went this year. How’s about you read all about it, after the cut? Continue reading WORST. GEN CON. EVER. [part the first]
introducing…THE CRUSHER!
Those of you who know me in meatspace and on twitter know that I have a cat. His name is Sherbert West, after Lovecraft’s Herbert West (you know, Re-Animator!) and he is a Good Boy®. I can’t even begin to describe my feelings about this guy, but I’m still gonna attempt it! (yes this is a post about my cat) Continue reading introducing…THE CRUSHER!

the early life of a comedic genius*
I don’t exactly think I’m a funny person, but people often laugh at things I say. I can never tell if people are laughing because it’s funny, though, or if they pity me. Such is the life of a person with a strange sense of self-esteem. There’s no consistency in it. Some days, I feel pretty full of myself; other days, I’m utterly paranoid, convinced that nobody likes me everybody hates me something something worms. Anyway, this post isn’t about me, it’s about me.
crap salad (probably NSFW)
So the other night, I came home from work and promptly fell asleep on the couch for about 90 minutes. As one does. By the time I woke up, it was nearly 7:30pm, and neither mom nor I had eaten dinner, nor did we have any ideas about what to eat other than we knew we needed to eat. So we began looking through the cupboards and the pantry to see what we could make, which turned up bupkis unless we wanted to eat boxed macaroni cheese, which no. So we did the natural thing: we sat on the couch for another half-hour and did nothing about putting food in our faces until mom turned to me and said, “wanna go to McDonald’s and get some chickie nuggets?” and I was, surprisingly, all like “DEAR GOD YES.” so we went to McDonald’s.
