Golden Egg

2009-10-23T07:49:54Z

Recently, I've been a lot more thankful for everything I have in life. I made a resolve a few months ago to stop complaining at work (harder than I thought honestly -- some of the stuff that goes in the ICU really tests me sometimes) and try to li...

「世界の終わりが始まりだった」

2009-10-12T05:44:44Z

As a child, I'd played lots of video games an unfortunate side effect of being cousin to a game addict. RPGs had always been my personal form of heroin though -- my favorite one being the Final Fantasy series. I think it was VII that really ho...

My favorite books lay in a bookshelf in my old bedroom at my mom's house. They're easily tucked away with a simple sliding mechanism that hides them behind the headboard area of my bed. The only permanent fixtures in this series of books are th...

Soothing Sounds

2009-10-08T05:00:40Z

I bought a netbook cooling pad a few days ago. I often use my laptop the way you see in the photo above. The hum of the cooling plate against the wood sounds a little bit like a quieter version of the sound you hear as you're flying in a plane. I...

Agent Orange

2009-10-05T15:29:23Z

I used to have recurring nightmares on almost a daily basis after I finished college. It used to be the same few ones -- one about a flying French midget (ridiculous, I know), one of running from a killer in a 'trap' house, or ones where I'd be he...

"It's like riding a bike!"

2009-09-14T16:32:16Z

For my mom's 59th birthday this year, I got her a new bike. She'd been complaining about how Watson, our 4 year old Beagle, loves to run but that she just couldn't keep up. Mom had been musing about which kind of bike to get, but never pulled thro...

A Hostel Is Not a Place to Get Sleep

2009-09-04T13:20:05Z

One of my favorite things to do while traveling abroad is hostel. I really had no opinion of hostelling the first few times I did it -- I never saw that movie, and I didn't have friends who were into travel enough to do it. Most of my friends ...

New Lease On Life

2009-08-24T03:42:04Z

I started blogging again as a means of trying to have a more creative hobby than video gaming. All that carpal tunnel action from playing Rock Band isn't healthy! And thanks to Kyle's fantastic new theme (pictured above! -- I can't believe it!) I'...

Soundtrack of My Life - Part III

2008-12-17T11:14:51Z

I can't post the years after this.... since, by a freak of nature, or rather this computer, I lost the subsequent playlists when I was copying and pasting. I hate myself right now, but in a few weeks I'll probably find a way to compile them all ov...
