Warning: Warcraft stuff. Specifically, Naxxramas. In describing the Heigan fight in Naxxaramas, I said “There’s no enrage timer, so technically you can down this boss with just a tank and a healer… but it’ll take forever.” Well, we proved it: 19 minutes later, with both tanks & one healer still alive, Heigan finally died. The [...]

So Nick forwarded me an early review of his soon-to-be-released game from Penny Arcade: I snared the demo for Skate’s second outing, on next-gen systems at least, and while it has a good aroma (defined here as a kind of ineffable “vibe”) I still can’t make heads or fucking tails of this control scheme. I [...]
Who the tudor are you?

Alrighty, so Who the Tudor Are You? amused me. I’ve seen a couple of episodes of the Tudors, and really should watch more (must get laptop fixed so I can watch TV while playing warcraft…) Anyway, so this site decides who you’d be if you lived in Tudor times. If I put down that I [...]

For Christmas, Justice received a rather large cow femur. This is a tradition (well, I’ve bought her one for the two Christmasses we’ve been together, anyway — that’s a tradition, right?) we have, and it usually lasts her til May or so (…or at least, it did last year.) She hasn’t shown a lot of [...]

So … I used to be really depressed, right? Yeah, fine, and I don’t really want to talk about it. Let’s just say that my early 20s were something akin to hell, I just about killed myself on several occasions, and I didn’t like it. While I wouldn’t call myself clinically depressed anymore (heck, my [...]

So I’ve come across tiltshiftmaker.com a few places recently, and finally decided to try it myself. And sure enough, it’s pretty awesome. I made this (original here) from a picture I took from the top of the John Hancock tower in downtown Chicago a few years ago: …and this, from a picture of a burned [...]

Sometimes I talk about the boy

So, sometimes I talk about Nick. Who knew? Anyway, I occasionally read Dooce, and while I’m not really the mommy-blogging type, I’ve been reading her blog since BEFORE it was a mommy-blog, and fuck it, I like her writing style. So she does these “momversations” with some other mommy-bloggers, and some of them are pretty [...]
I can see clearly now, my glasses are fixed

I figured since I broke my glasses (ok, technically, since NICK broke my glasses, the dirty bastard) I may as well get my eyes checked before I replace them. Good news: I have healthy eyeballs. Sure, they can’t see shit, but more importantly, they can’t see shit any worse or better than they could a [...]
Oooh, dat girl got TAGGED

(I don’t even know what that means…) Er, anyway, so apparently I’ve been tagged by the illustrious Kimli to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. Theoretically, I’m then supposed to choose 25 people to be tagged, but I don’t do that sort of thing, so instead you merely [...]
