i’m no superman

sense :: smell // Fire incense

It’s been a couple of weeks, but not of my own choosing. Most of it has had to do with the fact that the day job has been crushing me. I had expected to spend this weekend working on a bit corporate integration project I was working on at the [...]

paint it red

sense :: taste // Sumatra Mandheling

In honor of all of the snow we’ve been getting in the mid-Atlantic region in the past week or so, I post some happy looking snowbirds that are very likely CG, but still make for a gorgeous photograph. Thankfully I’m all dug out, and our worst snowstorms are almost always [...]

vanilla salt

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 [...]

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 [...]

talk to the one who gives you all the light in your eyes

sense :: hearing // Greenwheel – Breathe (although I was turned onto the song from Melissa Etheridge’s 2004 cover.)

that’s one of my favorite desktops up there – I guess I just have a thing for girls who know how to handle a blade or two.
What an amazing couple of weeks! I didn’t expressly mention it [...]

take it with no shame

sense :: hearing // U.N.K.L.E. – Bloodstain

Thanks in no small part to Rae, I’ve been diving back through my back collection of CDs, finding music that I haven’t listened to in a while. When I was in New York and at her house, she played U.N.K.L.E.’s Lonely Soul, and when I started marveling at [...]

don’t say lazy

sense :: taste // a fine Cabernet

From the Vocaloids and I to you and yours, I hope you’re having a very happy holiday season – a happy hanukkah, a merry christmas, and a very very happy new year.
Yes, I’m being a bit facetious, but I can happily say that this holiday has been absolutely [...]

russian roulette is not the same without a gun

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, [...]

classier by the moment

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 [...]

and autumn gives way to winter

sense :: taste // fresh ground guatemalan antigua coffee

It’s getting colder. Not that I mind – I tried on my winter coat for the first time since last year’s cold – the one I had left at my parents’ because it was one of the many things in my arms when I fled there in [...]

i see alice in wonderland, i see malice in sunderland

sense :: hearing // The Streets – Trust Me (remixed by Datawrong)

Stumbled on the image up there (and the wallpaper sized version if you click on it) and it reminds me to run out and pick up the next volume of Aria that was released this month. I know I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but there’s [...]

and you’re trying to remember and you’re trying to forget

sense :: smell // vanilla macadamia coffee

This week was marked by a distinct lack of sleep. The weather has definitely been turning colder and grayer and for a couple of days in there it was drizzly and icky – perfect days to stay in with a warm cup of coffee or cocoa and just get [...]

under the milky way tonight

sense :: sight // sparkling streetlights

I know I keep saying that I’m having big weeks, but this week was no exception. It was kind of a long, mundane week (except for weigh-in at the office: I’m down about 15 lbs from where I started at the beginning of the office “Biggest Loser” contest!) until everything [...]

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 [...]
