destiny at its highest price

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 [...]

I am The Classy Geek.

sense :: taste // roasted chestnut coffee

Today my “Secret Project” is no longer a secret project! I’ve been working on this little side-project for months now, writing and writing and writing long-form articles and how-tos and segments and putting them all together offline and then building out the perfect design for it all, and finally, [...]

flames to dust

sense :: hearing // Nelly Furtado – All Good Things (Kaskade Remix)

It’s getting colder outside and I love it. I’ve already made full use of my investment in some long sleeved dress shirts, and I’m definitely looking forward to breaking out my woolen coats, both long and short, and feeling the chill air of the [...]

there’s an angel on my shoulder, but a devil inside my head.

sense :: hearing // Kaskade – Angel on My Shoulder

David was curious what I spent a lot of my time this weekend doing, and since I wrote my last entry while I was in the middle of if, I didn’t really wrap up what I’d been up to. In short, this was one of those [...]

when the rush comes

sense :: hearing // Metric – Gold Guns Girls

Finally have a little downtime to relax. The birthday week is coming to a close, but like I said in my last post, I have every intention of making this a jubilee year, so I’m doing a little travel planning to see friends around the country. As [...]

do you remember the time

sense :: taste // Oscar Blues Ten FIDY Imperial Stout

Big week – lots of writing to do for freelancing gigs, and big things happening at the day job. On the up-side though, at the end of the week I’ll be in a much better position to keep pushing forward. I just need to get my [...]

you could be my industry

sense :: taste // Whiff Roasters Coffee

Just in time – the day I ran out of coffee, my new order from my beloved Whiff Roasters arrived. I think it’s a good 10 bags of delicious, fresh-roasted coffee in vacuum-sealed bags from a local roaster. To be fair, they’re not THAT local, but they’re more local [...]

starts with one

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 [...]

why i even said a word in the first place

sense :: hearing Trey Lockerbie – Prove Me Wrong (feat. Madi Diaz)

So I’m putting myself on a somewhat regular blog update schedule. People only read when they know they can reliably get new content, and while I love blogging my biggest problem has always been providing new content regularly as opposed to whenever i have [...]

here comes a new challenger

sense :: hearing // Everything But the Girl – Tempermental
This one’s been brewing for the past couple of weeks; I hadn’t told anyone because I didn’t want to jinx it, but the paperwork finally came through just this afternoon. I have a new client I’ll be writing for! Want to know who it is?

This [...]

will you come alive for this?

sense :: taste // vodka & tonic

Konata looks so blushy and wary in this photo, but she’s approving nonetheless. She reminds me of how I feel at the office half the time; except probably less blushy and more rage-y. Maybe it’s a bit how I’d be after a few drinks: wary but approving. That sounds [...]

sweet and bitter

sense :: smell // steeping black tea

The most irritating thing about working late in the evening is that I’m expected to essentially work from home in the morning as well. It’s kind of like putting in a 13-hour day, only my managers like to fool themselves into thinking it’s less than work because I’m at [...]

music is my imaginary friend

sense :: hearing // CSS – Music is My Hot, Hot Sex (Kill the Noise Rmx)
I fell off of thesixtyone bandwagon for a while, but I’m getting back on. Seems there’s only so many hours in the day you can listen to music before you have to sleep. Imagine that!

It’s been too long, and [...]

and now, the linking

You know, I rather like the way the blog looks with more images in it. I should make a point to take more photos, helps break up the text a bit. Sadly, I don’t have anything to really preface this post that wouldn’t just be a sad attempt to farm an image from somewhere out [...]

who says i can’t be bored?

sense :: sight // glowing screens
The new job is anything but boring, I have to say-usually I get far too much to do at one time around here. But then there’s the odd here and there when I just have too little to do, like right now. The days can swirl past me, and I [...]
