I just threw up in my mouth a little when I got a myspace friend request from this movie.

= The Video Game that ate my brain. Three hours of gameplay and I still haven’t picked up a second character yet. It’s like a movie with interactive parts. Plus, the characters are cute for computer animated teenagers. I also got Marvel Ultimate Alliance for Christmas. I’m trying to stick to one game at a [...]

On Kwanzaa…

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

To the anonymous emailer who wanted me to read about how Kwanzaa is a “fake” holiday “founded by a racist.” I’m perfectly aware that Kwanzaa was created in the 1960s. I’m perfectly aware that the creator of the holiday is a controversial figure. I learned that much from the Kwanzaa Wikipedia entry. And yet, I [...]

Presents Un-wrap-up

Tuesday, December 26th, 2006

Well, Santa came and went and it was, overall, a jolly holiday. I got many fine sweaters I can wear to work, a few gift cards, and two new video games to keep myself entertained. And chocolate, there were lots of gifts this year involving chocolate. I think my family is getting back at me [...]

The man is frakking [...]

I’ll be Home for Christmas

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

I made it home. I’m back in SLC for the first time since moving in June. The little changes are surprising. The house across the street was torn down and the church across from my parent’s home is undergoing rennovations. So, I got to the airport 2 1/2 hours before my flight. While the lines [...]

Get me outta here…

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

I think I’m all packed for my flight tomorrow. It was a bit of work to get the presents into my suitcase, so I ended up switching to a dufflebag. I sent Joanna an email: Joanna, After giving it some considerable thought, my response to your phone call on Wednesday is no. I truly do [...]
