Permadeath

(Or Sun Tzu’s Fart of War) It always bothers me when I’m playing a video game, how the NPC’s are so blasé about their dead friends. They wander around like nothing happened, meanwhile they are standing in a pool of

I Need To Get Out More (or Been There; Done That)

So, I’m not what you’d call a seasoned traveler. In fact I haven’t been anywhere for a while. My passport expired about the same time as Kurt Cobain did. (What? Too soon?) It certainly wasn’t from a lack of desire.

Where Does the Time Go? (or Pause, Rewind, Replay)

I’ve just realized it’s been a week since I posted something. Sometimes I just can’t believe how fast the hours and days go by. And before you ask – no, this is not a self-indulgent, my life is so amazing,

Glutton for Punishment (or My Inner Dialogue Part 3)

So, I’m talking to myself and I say, “Hey, me.” [silence] “Cut it out. I know you’re there.” [silence] “Fine. I’ll just sing sea chanties until you answer me.” “Wait. What? Sorry, I was just thinking to myself.” “I didn’t

Random Acts of Mindless (Or What Was I Thinking?)

So, there are two kinds of people in the world. There is the guy who stands at the subway platform, looks at his watch, and worries that he’s going to be late. And there’s the guy who looks at the

Going To The Movies (Or What Has It Gots In Its Pocketses, Precious)

So I haven’t been to an actual movie theatre in ages. I think the last movie I went out to see was Men in Black. The first one. Yeah, that long ago. It’s not that I don’t like going to

Time Management (or Sometimes a Police Box is Just a Police Box)

So I didn’t post anything on Sunday as I had originally planned. It wasn’t that I was sick or tired (although I was a little of both), but mostly because I spent the entire weekend playing video games. There were

Winning the lottery (or it never hurts to ask)

So what would you do with a million dollars? I’m not asking for myself, unfortunately. It was just a question that I ask when I buy the occasional lottery ticket. I think it’s less about wish-fulfillment than it is a

Social Media and the Nature of Friendship (or Stop Poking Me, I Hardly Know You)

The big problem with living in an age where everyone is plugged into everyone else’s business is that everyone is plugged into everyone else’s business. So far there seem to be two competing models for the online experience. On the
