Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 30. And here is a picture of me buying a Playstation Plus card. (Or rather, bringing it home.) I’m not much for New Years resolutions. And also I failed out of the 365 Project a month in. But yesterday I made a birthday resolution. For the next…

The Anti-Anti List for February 19, 2014
The other day I listened to Beck’s new album. I was obsessed with Beck circa age 15. I lost touch a little in the Midnight Vultures era, but later realized that I get a little happier than usual every time a Beck song comes on, whether its Hell Yes or Devil’s Haircut or even Lost…
What I Brought to Pax Prime – Makeup Bag
I have now decided to grace my blog with my presence to bring you another long-promised (though maybe not awaited) packing for Pax video. This is everything in my meant-to-be-minimalist makeup (and hair product, and etc.) bag. In the end I think I could have pared it down a little, but I didn’t ever seriously…
Pax Prime Travel- Airport Looks, Day and Night
I’m currently in Seattle for Pax Prime. I haven’t actually seen any Seattle yet, as I’m still in the airport. My flight came in last night, and I slept here. I feel remarkably better than expected today, due to a combination of finding a flat bench to sleep on and taking the time to clean…
Zeno Clash – Same Game, Different Player
I just picked back up Zeno Clash, a game which I loved in spite of myself originally, but failed to complete on my first play through. I had started it circa 2009 or 2010, but then it, like most of the games I was playing, fell by the wayside when I got a job as…
Confessions of a Bad Friend Crush
I think that I might have an internet crush on Herey at Rhymes With Fairy , because her posts always elicit a response from me. When I read her Why Can’t We Be Friends? – about “friend crushes” and how hard it can be to turn them into actual friendships, I felt a bit ashamed. I think…
Liebsterfest.
As I mentioned previously, I have been nominated for a Liebster Award by Kelley from Another Novel Read. This is my first blog award ever, so I don’t even care if she nominated me mostly because we have similar taste in hair and a constitution that even Wowriot can’t kill. 🙂 Now, there is no…
The Day in Photos – February 23: Filming, Gaming, Playing, and Drawing
It was one of those weekends in which my accomplishments didn’t quite live up to my ambitions. I have about four or five “intellectual” posts half written in my head, but so much kept going on that I didn’t get anything really, actually written. But I did take the time to write up this lame excuse. In…
Valentine’s Day for Dorks
So its Valentine’s Day, but you still want to make sure everyone knows you’re a dork? Good news! There are plenty of options out there that will allows you fulfill your love interest’s holiday expectation without being smooth, sophisticated, or overly dignified. I decided to write a series…
Street Style in Guild Wars 2 (The Bastard Child of Two Unrelated Hobbies)
Occasionally, I like to combine two things that I like, whether they are usually done together or not. Today’s project: video games and street style. I’ve always been a screenshot taker; I still have a huge folder documenting my World of Warcraft life that I won’t delete. I’ve also always liked using unsophisticated cameras to…
I Love Them Now Don’t Give Them Special Treatment – In Praise of The Hairpin’s Girl Talk
Yesterday I discovered The Hairpin’s Girl Talk feature, starting with the Nathan Drake edition. I’m not a Nathan Drake super fan, but even before I read any others, I was pretty smitten with Girl Talk. Not because its video games + boys + intended for a female audience, which I guess is cool in…
The Perception of Beauty and Beastliness
“In your eyes, I perceive… both the look of a beauty and the look of a beast. Be mindful not to bring about your own end, my dear!” So says the Chrono Cross fortune teller to Kid, my favorite character in one of my favorite games. I thought about this quote every time after that when I felt…
