The Summer So Far…

I know I haven’t really posted anything lately.  I sort of fell out of the habit of blogging, and things have been a little hectic as of late.  Needles to say, I’m not entirely certain who knows what, but Julia and I have had a rather interesting summer so far.  Read on if you should …

My Wife Left Me…

There’s just no other way to say it, I guess.  She took off to Hawai’i with another man, and I’m sitting here in my apartment, all alone. I guess I should mention that the other man is her father and she’ll be back Saturday, but I’ll bet you I got you to click on the …

We Live Here Now

Did you know that I’ve never seen all of Studio 60?  This is because toward the end of the season, I wanted to hold off from experiencing the letdown of a series being canceled just as it was getting good.  And this isn’t the first time that I’ve experienced this kind of entertainment pain.  I …

Netflix’ing the Night away…

Like most new toys, one plays with them pretty incessantly upon arrival.  Christmas morning growing up, I think once all the presents were opened, the rest of the day was battle between parent and child, over getting ready for the family dinner and playing with the new toys.  Well shit, folks, you gave me the …

Baseball

I typically root for two teams: San Francisco and Cleveland. San Francisco is immediately obvious; I live in San Jose and proximity dictates that I throw my support behind the local team. Of course, I will also throw some fandom behind the A’s because sometimes when Giants baseball kills me, it’s nice to bite into …

Update and Upgrade

For those of you keeping score, we’re running 2.5, now. I just got back from SakuraCon in Seattle this weekend and experienced snow for the first time since my trip to Philly in 2005. It was a metric fuckton of fun, including conversations that bordered on the absurd as whole portions of dialogue from Aqua …

Throne

Julia and I went chair shopping over the weekend. The chair I had been using since last 2003 finally killed my back and so she and I traded chairs since I’ve been experiencing a lot of back pain while using my old one. Julia was using my even older black chair for sitting, and ever …

Giants Fan 4 Life, Bitches!

So, since pitchers and catchers have already reported for spring training, it seems appropriate to talk about death, right?  Well, I think it is.  I was browsing the ol’ livejournal friends’ list and I stumbled upon a post in the Star Trek community that said for a chunk of change, you could be buried in …

Full Speed Ahead

Although the title of this post refers to the newest fanfic project I’ve been working on, it seems like I’ve been writing at warp speed lately. In the last three weeks, I’ve cobbled together some 80,000 words, which is the equivalent of a full novel. I managed to finish the following projects: The Quarterdeck Breed …

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

So, it looks like the WGA strike is coming to an end, barring any unforeseen insanity between now and 6pm Pacific. I know the WGA didn’t get everything they wanted, but at least they got something, which is better than the nothing they were being offered before. I’m proud to say that I tried my …
