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 [...]

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 [...]

a long time coming

sense :: taste // chicken wings
Well, among other things, the election is over (with stupendously happy results), I had a nerve wracking but overall positive trip to the doctor, and now I’m looking forward to another major milestone: World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King comes out this coming Thursday!
I’m a dork, I [...]

happy loving day

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, [...]

all over the place

sense :: smell // sesame oil
Things haven’t been quite as frenetic as they had been, but what has been going on has been sufficiently mind-encompassing that I’ve hardly had time to think, much less put those thoughts into anything remotely resembling a coherent sentence. Regardless, the thoughts have been swirling around in my head, waiting [...]

someone plug me in, i need to recharge

sense :: taste // fresh coffee
I’ve been a pretty busy boy, like I’ve been saying. The trouble is when you wake up on a morning like today and really really wish you could work from home (which I could, I just don’t like calling in to say it, feels like I’m copping out on the [...]

poets and sunglasses

sense :: taste // Peach Tea
Halloween came and went, and Raevyn surprised me with a Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney pumpkin, of which I’ll provide photos of shortly, I promise, and some treats and goodies from the Halloween party that she went to. I was a homebody that night, staying at werk late to bond with [...]

clearing the fog

sense :: smell // moist soil
So upon doing my civic duty on the 12th of September (which was primary day around these parts, so after werk Raevyn and I headed out to vote) I subsequently felt much much better about myself-it was nice being a part of the political process, and even nicer supporting the [...]

dangerous times

sense :: smell // chinese food
Sadly, the chinese food isn’t mine, the ladies I share an office with ordered chinese. They did ask if I wanted to order with them, which was nice enough.
That’s okay, I’m planning on going out for lunch. Where, however, is the next-and natural-question. No clue, but I usually have [...]

painter of somethin’

sense :: sight // new desks
We had a lovely three day weekend, injuries aside. We took Friday off to sleep in and put together our new desks and tv stand for the computer room that we had purchased from Ikea earlier in the week, and after assembling our desks and tv stand and finding out [...]

purple darkness is love

sense :: sight // purple curtains
Our new bedroom curtains are love. I mean seriously; they’re insulated deep purple and heavy fabric, so absolutely no light comes in through the windows. Glorious-I can finally sleep in the mornings-now that the sun rises pretty close to our bedroom windows, it’s nice to know that even with the [...]
