09:52 pm [Link]	At the behest of someone whose name sounds like 'Hat trick StromStrom' So uh, updates. Yeah. I only do this because I care. Yes. That's it. "You are most like the Answertron 2000, coldhearted and mean. All you seem to care about is the destruction of mankind." Which PA character are you? (Leave a comment)

02:45 pm [Link]	Look! Another Update! Haha! I win! Okay, so I haven't updated this in months. But this was just too damned funny to not link people to. See, we have a few pirated DVDs from China, one of them being the movie 'Last Samurai'. Now these pirates will stick random english on the covers to make it look nice. Sometimes with disasterous results. Take a look at the quote at the bottom here. I'm not sure if they actually captured the essence of the film completely and accurately with that statement since I've not seen the movie, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. And yes, this is a real box! (1 comment \| Leave a comment)

02:50 pm [Link]	It's for a story! I don't suppose anyone who happens to see this knows of someone who is well versed in geology/cavern ecology? More specifically, someone who might be familiar with low-tech/ancient and/or modern methods of topographical 3d mapping? No? Shucks. Okay. How about two more links for your amusement then? Bipartisan insults fly, from the inevitable, to the really really long. For those of you who'd rather shun the ongoings of politics, here's a VW Ball for your amusement. (Leave a comment)

10:24 pm [Link]	I am alive! Okay, so I haven't updated in four months. That's because I don't DO things that are interesting. I'm still not doing anything interesting. But just to show that I'm not dead, here in random fashion is a snippet of something I've been trying to write. It's probably confusing as hell. Not like I've got anything else interesting to post. Not that this is interesting in the first place. Flowing Water and its swift rivers, the blood that envelops, and permeates from above. Painting Stone and its winding tunnels, the house of life, separating Sky and Water. Endless Sky and its powerful brilliance, the perpetually shining, arising from the Heavens beneath. In this, only Man must remain uneternal. -Traditional Ixantl verse The Domine named Sihwar had just hurled the last of the mason workers from the cliff edge when the ashen sky below flared with blinding fire. For a brief moment, only the pain in his eyes concerned him. All seemed caught in a moment of silence. He soaked in the cleansing energies, ignoring the gasps and fumbles of the guards nearby. Someone spoke out and interrupted his rapture. “My Lord Domine, we are finished here. The winds will begin soon.” Already the light from below had begun to fade. He turned around and opened his eyes to see panicked men, hastily gathering a variety of tools and bundles to take into the tunnel mouth. Sihwar sighed and glared at the offending guard. “And what is wrong with our moment here, on the boundary of stone and sky? In the name of the Pale Kel, we have finished the first step in a mighty deed. Should we not bask in Its glory?” “Domine Sihwar, my faith remains ever constant. But should we linger too long in the season of Flare, we shall be swept down to join those who fell into Its embrace.” The Domine shifted back around, and gazed out into the distance. For as far as he could see into the haze, he saw spires of stone stretching from endless rock above, massive and riddled with small black holes that were the marks of carven tunnel mouths and windows. The marks of cities, whose peoples were undoubtedly hiding from the coming storm. He saw waterfalls rushing downward from the stone above. But what brought him the most joy lay below. A sea of light.

08:12 pm [Link]	Another Minor Update It has also come to my attention, that I am not a ninja. Why the hell not?! (4 comments \| Leave a comment)
02:18 am [Link]	Minor Update The fact that people actually read this (presumably for fun, or out of sheer boredom) really scares me. That is all. (1 comment \| Leave a comment)

01:40 am [Link]	So which end do I aim with? Went to the IMA for the archery club's open shoot. I'd only picked up a bow and arrow once before, and that was for an hour in Cub Scouts. As you can probably already derive, I couldn't remember squat. Well with some guidance from more-experienced persons who were in the club, in a matter of hours I went from missing with every single arrow, to hitting the bullseye sometimes, and then back to not hitting anything at all. Oh well, maybe if I work at it some more. And I do intend to do so because access to the club-only shoots every Monday and Wednesday night only costs $10 for a year. Watch me do something semi-physically strenuous! Tremble, for I'm pretty sure winged porcine creatures will soon dominate the skies from now on. Which is why of course archery is a good skill to pick up. You sure don't want to be defenseless against flying demon pigs, do you? (2 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:32 pm [Link]	Useless Post Number Two I am encouraged by others to update. So this is it! I honestly don't know what to put here. Had my first six straight hours of class on Wednesday. Three hours of that is Physics-related classes. Good thing there's only another eight weeks of it left. I've begun work on a little project with Thomas, which involves ePublishing pen-and-paper RPG books. Nothing set in stone yet, but I've grown rather attached to one possible launch product that is heavily inspired by a certain 80s cult classic involving glowing frisbee weapons. Prepare for lots of puns. Hm, people like weird links, yes? I'll just rip something off of Memepool. How about a paper camera? (2 comments \| Leave a comment)

07:25 pm [Link]	What is this 'LiveJournal' you speak of? I got myself one you bastards. Happy now? I suppose random bemusements of mine will grace this place from time-to-time. Like this. It looks enthusiastic does it not? Consider it to be expressing my own vaguely defined feelings. (3 comments \| Leave a comment)
