sense :: sight // Hanaji – Opening Sequence to Maria Holic
Lately I’ve been absolutely in love with a couple of different anime, although I’ve only been able to see snippets of both of them because they haven’t been widely released in the United States yet: ToraDora!, a series with a plot that could very easily [...]
sense :: hearing // Starlume – Save Our Lives
So I’m home, no travel plans in the immediate future – I’m not even entirely sure if I want to spend the money to go to PAX East if I don’t know anyone else going (although I’m sure I’d meet a ton of awesome people), but I [...]
sense :: taste // holiday toddy (rum-flavored) coffee
I’m making a note here. Huge success.
Seriously – I’d be lying if I said that my trip to New York City wasn’t the best vacation I’ve had in years, and even that might be understating how wonderful the trip was by some margin. I had an amazing time, [...]
sense :: taste // lemon pepper barramundi
It’s been a long long week, not to mention a long weekend, but I managed to finish a lot of things in the past week that I’ve been meaning to get done for months now. I’ll make another announcement tomorrow on the big news so I don’t spoil or [...]
sense :: sight // yellowing leaves
Ah, autumn. I’ve struggled for years against my nature and tried to make summer and spring my favorite seasons. They never were: I tend to have seasonal allergies, so the spring has always been a rough season in any event, and considering the romantic stigma that comes for me (which [...]
sense :: hearing // Miley Cyrus – Party In the USA
It’s been a hell of a week. Being on-call last week got me started headed into the werkweek tired as all hell, and I don’t think I managed to catch up and have a full, restful night’s sleep until last night. And even then, I [...]
sense :: taste // vanilla biscotti coffee
Otakon has come and gone, and next year’s has already been scheduled (July 30 – August 1, 2010) although I haven’t bothered to book the room yet. The photo above I took with the camera on my phone: that’s the second generation USB flash drive from the Webcomic Sparkling [...]
sense :: sight // Jam Wow
Back from Otakon – had a fabulous time and took tons of photos that I’ll retouch and upload soon, I promise. Picked up some swag, hung out with the lovely Kittyhawk of Montrose Academy and Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki and I didn’t even make a nervous fool of myself saying [...]
sense :: hearing // Dawn of the Dead – Does It Offend You, Yeah? (Station X Rmx)
Finally settling in; I mean really settling in. There’s food in the cabinets and in the fridge, cold drinks to be had, a clean floor devoid of boxes, and electronic toys all set up and shiny. I’m really finally [...]
sense :: taste // homemade sausage alfredo
This year I’m totally jazzed for the holidays. I don’t really know why, but I’m all about wine and cider and decorating and spiced coffee and giving gifts and shopping for the holidays and hearing holiday music on the radio and loading up my iPod with it (although it [...]
sense :: hearing // CSS – Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death from Above (RAC Remix)
This isn’t the first day I’ve come here, opened up the editor, and thought desperately about what I should say. There’s a lot to cover, if I wanted to do one of those historical-type posts, going back to the [...]
taste // Boterra Red Wine
This is probably one of the best Penny Arcades in a long long time. And that’s saying a lot, because I usually think they’re hilarious. Click the image to embiggen – I’m sure you can’t read the text at this size. The worst part? It’s a true story.
In other news, there’s [...]
sense :: sight // Blood + Season 2 Opening
And before I forget, something else that’s made the holidays so hectic has been my situation at the office.
So I’ve been officially promoted! (Although the raise hasn’t been applied yet) I’m now “Manager, IT Projects,” and even have a direct report now. Up to this point [...]
sense :: taste // black coffee
40 years ago today, the US Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, struck down the remaining anti-miscegenation laws in 16 states, left over from the so-called “Racial Integrity Act of 1924.”
The case was Loving v. Virginia, and the decision from the court has been known thereafter as The Loving Decision, [...]
sense :: smell // chinese food
I have to admit, I’m a fan of the Bloq. To tell the truth, I’m in love with anything made by Method, but the Method Bloq has that kind of contemporary, urban, sleek design that just draws me in, it makes me want to touch the box, to smell the [...]
