Unlike others, I tend to think of my birthday as the most appropriate time to set my resolutions for the coming year. I mean, this is the beginning of a true new year for me. New Year’s is a little too cut and dry, and to be honest, I’m just not as introspective on New …

Life is what happens while you’re making other plans
I have finally found a log entry where using that phrase is pretty appropriate to use. Because life is definitely happened whilst making other plans. Let’s begin by examining the week that has transpired between my last entry and this one. Monday morning, immediately after work, I went home, grabbed anime DVDs, my DVD player, …

Taking Care of the Elderly
Another week gone, and yet another week to sleep through. As I get closer and closer to my birthday, I keep wondering what the hell I’m going to do for it. Should I go ahead and throw the huge bash, or just keep it simple and do some sort of dinner thing with some people. …

On Untitled #16, Gemini Birthdays, and Withdrawals
Where No One seems to be suffering some sort of long-term net problem, and unfortunately (or fortunately), I’m not really aware of the nature of the problem. It kind of sucks, not living in the same place as all the servers, but by the same token, it’s kind of nice because I’m also not suffering …

The Feeling of a Split Series
In baseball, when visiting teams come to town, they typically play a 2-4 game series with the home team at the home stadium. I think, back in ’89, I recall a 5-game series. Anyway, typically, what ends up happening is one of three outcomes: A sweep, which is either team winning all of the game …

Muse, Where For Art Thou?
I was looking at a short story I had begun two months ago, featuring a sort of Trek-like Western story. It was to be about this junior grade Security Lieutenant who was caught in bed with the daughter of his captain, and as retribution, had him assigned to a backwater planet with no law whatsoever. …

You Love Me, You Really Really Love Me!
Update: My sister and her husband made up. Crisis averted. I got everything I wanted to get accomplished today. I hooked up with my best friend, and we drove off to the Milpitas Golfland where we danced our hearts and limbs away for three and a half hours. Our knees were turned to jelly and …

What Do You Do with a Drunken Sailor?
I’m almost done with the third Alan Lewrie novel, entitled A King’s Commission. I’m trying not to read it too quickly. I’m afraid I’m going to have to say that Dewey Lambdin is Forester’s equal. Lambdin is witty and his writing keeps me wanting more. The character of Alan Lewrie really makes Hornblower look incredibly …

Music to Speed on Interstate 5 By… Part Two of Two
Last year’s little travel log was written in sort of a time-based format. Because of the detail Im narrating, Ive decided to go with a prose format, because I didn’t feel like recalling exact times which could end up being wrong. (Anime Expo) 1998: A Hamburger Odyssey By Michael D. Garcia The Annual Japanese Animation …
