Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! My sisters and I have established a tradition of cooking Thanksgiving dinner for our family. We split up the task and each take a couple of dishes. At first, we just replicated our family’s regular Thanksgiving menu. Last year, we each tried a couple of changes... Continue »

It’s been a while. Apparently there was some political fallout in my family after the election, and I was warned not to be too… cheery. In fact, my sister was informed that her Facebook status upset an aunt. But as far as I know, no older relatives check this site. And [...] Continue »

Fallout is one of my favorite game series of all time. It just has an amazing blend of action, story, and humor. I love that the game is so open - yes, there is an overarching plotline, but how you get to the end is entirely up to you. You can be [...] Continue »
A Strength Most Don’t Possess

I tend to give people a hard time about brand-whoring. I mean, I can appreciate that a certain company has a higher quality of product, but I don’t believe in buying anything solely because of the label that’s on it. That’s part of why I hate a lot of product placement and brands... Continue »

Halloween is almost upon us, so here’s a little something to help people get into the spirit. That first link is a pretty cool site. It lists all the ghost stories submitted by readings, and they are organized by location, so that you can go check them out. It doesn’t seem to get updat... Continue »
A Freak Like Me

Saw this unreleased Toy Story trailer and thought it was pretty awesome - It’s cool how they even got the lips to sync up, like in the GI Joe Parody PSAs - But in all seriousness, I really wish Pixar could make movies for more mature audiences. No, I’m not asking for CG porn. I [...... Continue »

I always find stats interesting, so this cool beer article really caught my interest. For those of you too lazy to click through to the source, let me hit you with the graphs: Maybe it’s because I just haven’t been feeling the party scene lately, and this is a good rationalization for m...

Mouth To Mouth

So last Friday was the six-month marker, and I forgot to mention my decision to everyone. It’s basically what I had talked about already… I’ll continue being vegetarian, but will make exception if I know that the meat came from an animal that was raised and slaughtered humanely. ... Continue »

A while back, I mentioned setting up Beryl on my laptop. Unfortunately, when Beryl merged back with the Compiz project, something broke and I couldn’t get it to work again. Until today. I heard about a new program for Ubuntu I wanted to try, but it only worked if you could enable Desktop Eff... Continue »

I just started using this new program called Dropbox. It’s the simplest way I’ve found to keep your files synchronized between multiple computers, and it works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. On each computer that you install it, a “Dropbox” folder is created. Just copy the fil... Continue »

My days have been filled with reading and watching TV lately. Premiere season is starting on TV… some interesting new shows I’m checking out as well as good shows returning. On the reading front, I’ve been alternating between finishing the non-fiction assigned reading I had for PO... Continue »
Mechanical Ape

A couple of weeks ago, when I went down to LA, I had the oddest problem with my cell phone. When my aunts or my cousin tried to call me, I didn’t receive any notification on my end, and they said the phone always went straight to an error message. My other cousin [...] Continue »
Takes Me Nowhere

I was watching the Colbert Report the other day, and his guest on the show was GM’s Vice Chairman Lutz to talk about the Chevy Volt. I have to say, everything I hear about this car makes me not want to get it. If you haven’t heard about it, the Volt is GM’s [...] Continue »
