No, I am not an Arab terrorist. No, envelopes are not addressed in Arabic. It’s really English, but written in Elvish Tengwar. (Maybe it’s a good thing I couldn’t buy the Arabic stamps like I wanted to. Apparently there’s not a large enough Muslim population here.) Though I am expecting to have postal inspectors showContinue reading “On a Return Address”

On Fog
I feel as though I live in an accursed moor. Fog lays across the land like a festering malignancy. Spectral hounds bay at the moon. Death stalks the night. I am tired of fog. Tired, tired, tired of fog. I get up in the morning, and it’s foggy. I drive to work, and it’s foggy.Continue reading “On Fog”
On Allyn's Friday Feeling
I’m feeling a bit depressed and a whole lot down. No particular reason, just how I feel this Friday night. Anyone who wants to think happy thoughts, I’ll gladly take them.
On Testing Asides
This is a test of the Asides feature of Tarski, to see how it formats.
On Last Night's House
Spoilers, obviously. The last scene made me think of Minority Report, frankly. I think we’ve entered phildickian territory, House died of his overdose, and the final scene (and everthing beyond it) is just House’s final thoughts before the end. So at this point, whatever happens doensn’t matter. It’s just a dream. That’s my story, andContinue reading “On Last Night's House”
On An "Oh, Shit" Moment
This evening I went through on-line job listings. I saw an opening that looked interesting with a non-profit poverty relief organization. Hmm, said I — this could be cool. So I started their application process. Upload the resume? Check. Fill out contact information? Check. Then they wanted to test some basic reading comprehension skills. Hmm,Continue reading “On An "Oh, Shit" Moment”
On Being a Fallen Angel
I am such a follower at six in the morning. I don’t even know what the Book of Enoch is. Take The Which Fallen Angel Would You Be QuizBrought to you by Angel August’s Abode Kokabel. Why… that sounds like “Kokomo!” Beach Boys! w00t!
On Charlie Brown Nerdiness
I stopped at the post office this evening to mail a last few Christmas cards and buy some everyday stamps. (For those playing at home, I bought a sheet of the DC Heroes stamps–you have no idea what the Supergirl stamp did for the not-girlfriend’s self-esteem.) And on the counter they had a display ofContinue reading “On Charlie Brown Nerdiness”
On a Fan-Made Age of Empires Expansion
I saw on AoE3 Heaven this afternoon that a group of enterprising Age of Empires III fans had designed an expansion for the game–Napoleonic Era. New civilizations. New units. New maps. How could I not take a look? Thusly curious, I downloaded the install file. Napoleonic Era adds several new map types, some European, someContinue reading “On a Fan-Made Age of Empires Expansion”
On Evilness
Not really a shocker: Are you Good or Evil? You are mostly Evil (80%), but still a bit Good (20%) ‘Are You Good or Evil?’(QuizGalaxy.com)
