Steal This Blog!

It’s kind of amazing how much unemployment has ruined my creativity.  I used to be this overflowing font of imagination, but in the last year, I’ve barely painted, not really thought up any ideas for stories or games, and haven’t actually sat down to play RPGs with my friends at all.
I used to think that […]

I think I’m done whining about the tax holiday nonsense.  I just wish it didn’t get so much exposure.  If it’s a bad idea, the news outlets should have some experts on, talking about how bad it is.  Instead, they just say that McCain and Clinton want the holiday, and Obama doesn’t.  No real depth, […]

I got my first real paycheck in many months today.  It was barely enough for my car payment, which is past due.  I have been working in a bakery for over a month, now, and I generally have been having a good time.  The people are all right, a motley bunch of pirates and vagrants, […]

I made contact with actress Felicia Day this week.  She’s known really only for some very fringe independent stuff like The Guild and a few episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in my recollection.  She’s been in some indie films and a handful of other television series, but nothing I can remember watching.  I was […]
