I feel peculiar. I feel good, but it’s peculiar for me to feel good. I’m not used to it. I’m not very skilled at handling it. It’s rather like meeting a fawn in the woods. It’s beautiful, and you want to keep looking, but you know that at any moment it could run off, and you’ll never see it again. Like holding a soap bubble in your hand. Afraid to move because...

Internet Vacation
As of now I am starting an Internet Vacation. That’s a vacation from the internet, not a vacation on the internet.

An incicive commentary on the dangers of political persecution — with fart jokes. Lots and lots of fart jokes.
Proof, if any was ever needed, that fart jokes can be hella classy if you know how.

Making Video Games
I have always been interested in video game design. Often I’ve been playing a game and noted what I would do differently, or a feature that I would like to see more prevalently. Last week I read the Wikipedia article on video game design.
The article mentions the program Game Maker. It sounded solid, so I decided to check it out. I like it. It’s easy for a novice like me to use, but...

Giant Isopod Replaces Fish's Tongue →
Don’t click this unless you want to see it. It’s gross. I don’t mind too much, since I love parasites (because I am a giant nerd), but some people’s delicate fancy baby sensibilities might get hurt if they ever see a bug ever.
I giant isopod is basically a rolly-polly, but in larger version than your puny mortal mind can comprehend. Or something.

Watch as Spike Jonze dresses up as a “wild thing” and scares a little kid. He’s like the world’s most brilliant drunk uncle. (Jonze revealed at end.)
This is fucking incredible. In the good way.

WatchKanye West is a fucking asshole. Taylor is such a sweet girl, she is literally the last person to deserve this kind of abuse.
Just want to give her a big hug.

Prozac
Over the years, I have been prescribed a number of SSRIs in the treatment of my Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Over half a dozen. None of them have worked. The last one made my psoriasis flare up something awful. So it’s understandable that after that, I would want to wait a bit before starting on a new one. I did just that, and after about a year and a half decided it was time. This was...

We are VERY disappointed in you, Light Yagami
I am watching Death Note for the first time. Someone just died. If you have seen Death Note, then I think you know to whom I am referring. If you have not seen it, then I don’t want to spoil it for you.
Needless to say, I am VERY disappointed in a young man named Light Yagami. That boy only wanted your friendship, Light!

Comic-Can't
I wish I was going to Comic-Con. I had plenty of opportunity to book a pass back before they sold out, like a whole year. And money was never an issue; I seem to find that stuff like Alice finds cake.
No, the issue getting in my way is my extreme anxiety. I didn’t think that I would have the gumption to deal with transportation, wading through crowds, interacting with fellow humans,...

Waistcoats, coast to coast.
I saw some kick-ass waistcoats the other day at the store, but I decided not to buy any, as I am aware that I am not yet in the “waistcoat” period of my life. I’m glad to posess this awareness, and it has gotten me out of many a potential Problem in the past.
When it’s time, though… Waistcoats! Believe it!
Research on Wikipedia reveals that no difference exists...

Fuss! Aptly named, again!
I’m the sort of person who doesn’t complain about a problem if it meets certain criteria. Like if it will reflect poorly on me, or if it betrays some kind of weakness, or generally makes me sound like a whiny baby.
But is it okay to meta-complain? To complain about having a problem, but then not say what it is? Or is this merely extremely retarded?

Donut Shop
One time in High School, I was listening to a friend of mine tell a story. It went like this.
My friend was on the wrestling team, and they went to a meet, which I guess was out in the middle of nowhere? And he and another guy on the team went to a donut shop. There was a girl behind the counter.
Before they could buy any donuts, the girl’s boyfriend pulled up outside in his car, and she...

"What's this?" sang Jack Skellington.
Oh, look. I have a Tumblr. Hipster cred: sustained. I’m gonna go listen to a Brian Eno album to get some more XP.
