I went to Sin City and got drunk off my tree. When I was in Zimbabwe, I discovered the wonders that is gin & tonics. I’d had them before, but never really appreciated them. It took being in a place where they were often out of vodka, out of rum, and the beer was good, [...]

You know, maybe migraine’s aren’t so bad after all.

I know, it’s rare, unusual, and probably wouldn’t happen again in the same way… But this scares the hypochondriac in me all to hell: Imagine going to the doctor for a severe migraine and ending up with your right arm amputated. That’s what happened to Diana Levine when her doctor injected her with Phenergan, it [...]

The plague has hit Casa de Awesome Loft. (That’s its spanish name…) Yesterday, Nick & I both woke up feeling like we’d been hit by several two ton trucks. He was sneezy and coughy and sore throaty (his voice sounds like someone else, is very entertaining), I felt like someone had snuck into our room [...]

I am often reminded as to why I dislike Other People. Yes, this is about Lich King, and a couple of eye-rolling pick up groups (hereby known as “pugs”). If you’re not into this sort of thing… don’t read it. You can skip the namecalling this time around. I like video games. I like MMORPG’s. [...]

So I got to thinking about sick days. I take a lot of them, unfortunately. I suffer from chronic migraines, and as mentioned [...]

Evidently the UK courts don’t know the difference between reality & fantasy. Oddly, I was having a conversation with a coworker about this recently: Do computer generated images of minors count as child porn? My take: No, not at all. The reason child porn is so offensive, to me, is the pain & suffering caused [...]

My Nana would have been 94 yesterday. Hmm. Still miss her. In honor of Nana, Mom was going to buy some christmas cake at the craft market. However, they only took cash, and Mom only had debit… there’s a bank machine, but also in honor of Nana, she refused to pay the $2.50 they’d charge [...]
