This evening we’ve undergone a great storm that swept rather hastily across north Georgia. I have attempted to take some brilliant pictures, but they’re probably all blurry – we’ll see when I’m able to get the camera and its cable together. After the showers, the sky began showing little pockets of clear stars showing through… Continue reading Orion’s Omen

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Update
Amazon is showing the world premier of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie due this summer. The date slid forward to April 29th, which is really awesome. Who wanted to wait until May 6th in the first place?!? I’m eagerly anticipating this one; it looks really great!
MadLib Biographies
My friend, Jason D., sent me a chain-letter to fill out and send to a million people for good luck or something. I am against such things, but I like Jason and wish to at least better his luck. Instead of emailing everyone with my MadLib biography, I chose to post it here on my… Continue reading MadLib Biographies
Omega
Due to a privacy/confidentiality constraint, I’m not at liberty to discuss an event that occurred over the weekend. I will relate, however, a personal story. When I was 10, my brother took his own life. Henning, my brother, led a life directly opposite that of mine. That is, he was emotionally troubled and generally angry.… Continue reading Omega
T-Shirts for Sale
Although no one has actually made this shirt yet, I think it would be hugely popular in the gaming community. **UPDATE: The shirt is out: www.jinx.com
Timeout
Though I didn’t intend it, I’ve had a blogger’s block lately. I can’t find anything in my world in the last couple of days worth writing about. I can say I’m a bit under the weather, so maybe that gives me a sense of optical rectumitis on everything else. I’m also beginning to think seriously… Continue reading Timeout
Car Shopping…Again
I do this periodically just in case my car should fail miserably one day, which it should any day. I currently have a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville with 196k miles on it. That’s pretty good for an American car, even if it is a luxury sedan. I’m really excited by the Mazda3, 5-door. On the same… Continue reading Car Shopping…Again
Winter Storm 2005
[subtle sarcasm ahead] We’ve made it through the Winter Storm 2005 event, as the news likes to call it. The torrential downpour of ice and slush coated everything with a half inch of glassy ice. Quite pretty, though worthless to drive on. My vehicle is front-wheel drive, so it’s rendered useless in the great Georgian… Continue reading Winter Storm 2005
Carcinogenic Tortellini
I reached the bottom of my leftover Tortellini Gabrielle only to find a couple of small holes in the Styrofoam container in which I microwaved the pasta. I’m guessing that by ignoring the warnings of heating Styrofoam in the microwave, the plate melted a bit and was absorbed into my food. So my question now… Continue reading Carcinogenic Tortellini
I Eat Yellow Foods
It turns out that I really enjoy eating in mom & pop establishments. I sort of always knew that, but didn’t think about it much. They’re often times more expensive than bigger chains, but for what they lack in economy, they gain in service and dining pleasure. You also get a warm, fuzzy knowing that… Continue reading I Eat Yellow Foods
