There’s a week-to-week countdown we all do prior to major events. Sometimes we call it T-minus whatever, and other times we simply say, one day left. In my world, I call the week before a con, “week zero.” Literally, the intention is to put forth that this is the zero week, there are no more …

Anime Expo 2003: Day Two
Day Two: Torture Chairs I got a completely late start this morning. I had intended to wake up at 7am, so I could take Timmy down to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. I found it funny that we’d yet to enjoy breakfast over in the restaurant downstairs once since we’ve been here, and here we …

Kinou wa boku no tanjyoubi desu…
As the subject says, yesterday was my birthday. I’m now twenty-seven years old, though I honestly did not feel it much. It was kind of an interesting day, filled with meals, drinks, and other assorted activities. I find a certain sense of timing in the fact that I did a little personal exploration the day …

I’m Captain of this Ship, now Shut the Fuck Up!
The appropriate amount of time has passed between then and now. It’s time to finally write up a little bit of commentary on recent events. However, since the following rant may have very little relevance to many people, read on only if you understand the context. Otherwise, do not, because it is not going to …

A Rare Protected Post…
A lot of strange things have been happening over the course of the week, and I can’t get an overriding problem out of my mind. It’s been pretty present since last December, and it has a lot to do with the fact that I made a choice then that I may be questioning have been …

Rant: Where do you draw the line?
It’s pretty fair to say that in the past, we’ve all been burnt by previous relationships. In fact, that’s why we refer to them as previous. If we’re no longer within them, then obviously something went wrong. It’s something of a rare occurance when you have a relationship that parts amicably. Either you mutually just …

The Jack Bull
I’m something of a self-proclaimed movie buff. I sort of inherited a dear love for motion pictures from my mother, who is yet another one of the so-called experts in film. Though my knowledge is admittedly a little more contemporary than hers, but it was because of my mother that I have a healthy knowledge …

War, Personal Opinions, and the Death of Free Speech
I’ve actually been holding off on my opinions about the invasion of Iraq and the bombing of Baghdad, mostly because I’ve been having such strong feelings about the precipitation of such an action as well as the consequences. What with all the discussion and the twenty-four hour media blitz-like coverage, it’s utterly impossible to avoid …

Adjustments
I really love my job. I spoke with my boss tonight, and he was incredibly sympathetic to my concerns about working at eBay, saying that he would do whatever was necessary to help me out if I should need it. And without firing me, which is a major plus. That kind of support you just …

Sleepless Sports Night, part two
But this time, I am very pleased to say, it did not happen to me. While I was at work yesterday, I called home and spoke with Todd, whom I was asking if we needed groceries. While we were talking, I had remembered that the night before, I stayed up for four hours watching Sports …
