    Some are more equal than others

    GU Comics has a problem in WoW… Early yesterday Taks received and email from Blizzard (not one of the bogus phishing ones) that her account had been suspended because of gold selling style activity on one of her characters. I rushed to change her character’s rank in Bloody Plunder so that she didn’t have open access to the guild bank. I then started working on her behalf to reclaim the account. Several hours later she was informed that her account, after investigation, had been banned. There went our carefully planned gaming night. Long story short, I went to my community…

    Do ALL the things!

    Yesterday I should have gone to a history lecture that would have netted me 5 extra credit points for just attending – no paper or ‘nuthin. I didn’t go because I stayed up until 2 am in order to buy an autographed Abney Park cd. Priorities – I has them! I regret NOTHING! I did better on the second test anyway, so I’ll just write a paper for some EC. Today though, today I do ALL THE THINGS! See, a list: Get up / shower / dressed (set the bar low!) Scoop litter boxes (note to self: need 1 more)…

    Something’s rotten in Denmark

    Here’s some interesting info on that “I Write Like” meme that’s been going around. Now, I don’t see the text he’s referring to; I guess it’s been changed. When I go to results, there’s a pop up for a “newsletter” on how to “become a better writer”. Combined with the utter bullshit results below, I say it smells.

    Hello world!

    After several stupid moves on my part, the r&j portion of my scattered blogging history is uploaded. It may even work. Mostly. I’ll find out more later.

    Welcome home, Calypso!

    So apparently we’ve both lost our minds, because we’ve just adopted a baby kitten. A baby baby kitten, she’s only about 3 weeks old. Meet Calypso! (photo credit: JustOrb) She is so tiny. You’d think, however, that she was much bigger if you heard her yelling. All the other cats look huge to me now, even skinny George. <grin> I’ll have some better pictures later, of course, once we’re all settled in. So far the other brats aren’t too bent out of shape, but that’s probably ’cause we’re keeping them separate for now. There’s been some hissing, and Jake got…

    Don't try this at home

    I finished The Gathering Storm this weekend. It was absolutely fantastic. I was drawn completely in, down to gasping and whimpering as events unfolded. It was a major rush, and I can’t wait for the last two (for reals, yo) books to come out. Pure bliss. Major kudos to Brandon Sanderson – he pulled it off beautifully. In other news, I tried to electrocute myself last Wednesday. Took out half a wall and 3 computers in the lab at school – talk about embarrassing. So, I was going to work on my project write up, using Pages, which means using…
