I wrote a story about 4 years ago that I'm still on speaking terms with. I wish I had more time and focus to write more. The Universe is frightening in its own intricacies on a scale larger than few minds can imagine. Yet even in that whirling madness of this vast abyss, there are similar intric...

But...but my hate boner! I need to massage it now!

So, here's what's been reported so far after watching the Boston Police news conference a few minutes ago. Two bombs exploded within 15 seconds of one another. The first explosion occurred near the finish line, near the VIP stands. Coincidentally families from Newtown were attending the even...

http://i.imgur.com/sJHqF7o.png I cannot fully grasp, let alone describe, the hell I have been thrust into. The relentless sun, the endless sea of sand, not a drop of water in sight. Every day I rise, naked, to find my way out of this torment, and every sunset I collapse, of thirst beyond thirst. I ...

i would make all the evangelions black and red because black and red are the coolest colors and because cool colors are edgy just like evangelions concepts and i think it would appea to teenagers more and fanfiction writers too because i love evangelion fanfiction and i think that we need more of it...

Comet PanSTARRS last night:


Tonight:

I added a short post about a story in this May's issue of Analog magazine (a sci-fi publication for those of you unfamiliar with the genre) by Martin L. Shoemaker. It's called "Not Close Enough" and it's full of national stereotypes and nationalism. Bleeeeeh.

I was accepted into my first choice school without a TA scholarship. :irked: Probably going to take out student loans to go there and hope I can land some extra funding so I'm not as deeply into debt by the time I'm done. What's more annoying is parents saying I've wasted this last y...

Part-time job of inventorying equipment ad cleaning out junk in the basement of my department at school is really starting to leak into my dreams. So is one professor's particularly messy room. Both collide in a single dream that can be summed up [url]with this . I think the movers were coming i...

Also, has anyone here read Crimson Labyrinth? It's the only translated novel from the author of Shinsekai Yori but I don't know how the translation holds up and judging by the original publication date (1999) it seems to be a ripoff of Battle Royale (published earlier in the sam...

That's because it's trying to imply THOSE DIRTY, VIOLENT MUSLIMS are invading the US and implementing sharia law in a situation where what happened isn't clear at all.

I finally reviewed Man Against the Future . It turns out the reason I ended up disliking the book so much was because there was a story that was so terrible I'd managed to obliterate it from my memory before I could be forced to live a lifetime with its memory. Too bad I accidentally uncovered i...

Huh. You got waaay more out of Mrs. Todd's Shortcut than I did. Not really, it's just a neat little road story. It seems like Kentucky Route Zero is sort of shaping up the same way - it's a story about roads and the chance encounters that you make along them. Which is why I mentioned th...

To quote my steam recommendation of Kentucky Route Zero: It's a nice mix of a visual novel and a point and click detective game. The story is somewhat reminiscent of Stephen King's "Mrs Todd's Shortcut". Actually, come to think of it, it just feels like Stephen King's ameri...

El oh el. I find it interesting that the double image of Mari and Asuka from the store outlines... http://blog-imgs-56.fc2.com/n/e/w/neweva/evastore_q_y_01.jpg ... isn't really explained in this film. I thought there would be some significance to the shared pose, but maybe not. Could be as simp...
