  • 8/26

    Odd day. I woke up this morning with every intention of chasing doxy (I need 29 more) and going to the gym. I was going to leave at 5am and knew, somehow, that I’d make my doxy quota because a new event is starting tomorrow.   It’ll be near impossible to farm them for a week.  Read more

  • Celebrity …. miscommunication

    If you’re keeping up with me at all, you probably have the correct feeling that I don’t place a whole lot of faith in the media, social media, uncredited sources, non-authority figures, or even authority figures. Yep.  I pretty much live under the assumption that everyone is lying, miscommunicating (willfully or otherwise), don’t care enough Read more

  • Example of Hypocrisy

    Hypocrisy is a big word as takes four syllables.   I think that’s four hy-poc-ri-sy… Yep…  four and I think it’s a word we’ve kind have lost or warped the meaning. We all subscribe to it to some degree. It’s like leaving a generous tip at a pricy restaurant and ignoring the panhandler outside. It’s like Read more

  • Meet Nuisance

    Jason and I kind of have a history with Nuisance. We returned home one night and saw a crying shadow in mom’s animal trap.  I was a bit surprised.  We knew it was out there, but it played with the trap and mom’s nerves.   It would play on top of the trap.   It would play Read more

    Sixth day in a row….  Yay! See, this is the kind of life I’d like.   I spend part of the day exercising or doing whatever.    The other part is writing about stuff and faffing around.    In this case, watching a couple of episodes of Zero Punctuation.   Especially the writing part.    If I Read more

  • 8/13

    My brother and I where innocently wasting time downtown. We were chasing the new spawns from Wizard Unite and working on our tasks.   We weren’t bothering anyone and just chatting amongst ourselves while looking for memos and monster books. We passed a corner that’s by Laurel’s when this pretty girl approached my baby brother.  She Read more

  • 8/12

    This is odd. It’s the last day of the term. My four students have submitted their final project and I’ve graded it.  Sure, there’s a couple of past-due assignments, but nothing major.  My inbox isn’t overflowing with sob stories or extension requests. I almost don’t know what to do.  It’s like the students actually have Read more

  • 7/26

    Have you ever had one of those days… weeks… where you’re trying to project a feeling to the significant other.     That person doesn’t acknowledge it, just doesn’t get it, or chooses to ignore it. This is more than “Hey idiot, do the dishes.” Rather, it’s like a mutual and soulful agreement that really Read more

  • 7/25

    Well, I’m all packed.    Yeah, it’s a little early, but I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.   I don’t know what’s going to happen tonight.  So, I stuffed a bunch of stuff in the suitcases. It didn’t take long.   In a way, I really never fully unpacked.  Besides, the only thing I take Read more

  • Niantic Trifecta – Ingress, Po Go, Wizards

    I think Google/Niantic owes me a lot of money.   =) I played Ingress from beta. It was a pretty significant part of my life for a while.  Jason and I went to meetings, anomalies, met with other players, and even some of the player characters.     I don’t know if I’d say it Read more
