I fixed my PS2's DRE problem (and didn't even require a tiny screwdriver), so I can actually PLAY my PSX/PS2 games again. Go me! Stressful week, not going to go into it. It was just... stressful. I need some fiberfill for ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/09/19/i-wonder-about-me/ Blech. Car problems. Our little 1992 Toyota Corolla seems to be having an ignition issue: it looks like the solenoid is on its last legs. See, when you turn the key to crank the engine, most of the time you get a click-click sound from under the hood and nothing ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/09/12/no-vroom/ So they're firing up the large hadron collider (which I always say as "hardon" in my head, haw haw). Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I'm half-expecting a Half-Life sort of scenario akin to when you push the sample into the testing chamber array. Resonance cascades? Temporal rifts? Opening ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/09/09/black-mesa/ So I have trouble keeping up with peoples' LJs. Essentially what I have to do since I never actually LOOK at my friends page because I don't actually USE livejournal anymore is add RSS bookmarks for every LJ or community I find interesting enough to look at and go by ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/09/05/convenienceless/ Sometimes I worry about myself. I worry about the fact I enjoy drawing horrible creatures that make people go, "Wow, that's scary/strange/gross/horrifying." But I do love it so~ And Nate said to me yesterday (well, technically it was the day before yesterday) after he got his 1920's dapper gentleman haircut, "Hey, ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/09/02/fish-heads/ My awesome Tensor full-spectrum floor lamp's bulb finally died. I've had the thing for approximately 3-4 years now, so I guess it was about time for the bulb to bite the dust. Unfortunately, those particular bulbs do not tend to run especially cheap and I'm out of regular energy saving ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/08/30/in-the-dark/ As I mentioned before, I roleplay online. I was previously doing it at Roleplay Gateway, but Nate and I decided we weren't a good fit there and decided to move operations to a smaller venue until we figured out just how we were gonna swing our project. Kind of like ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/08/27/junkpunk-and-sketchdump/ It seems my mouse might be on its last legs. For some reason, the left click tends to wonk out fairly often and even if I only click once, or hold it down, it will take it upon itself to automatically double click, which leads to frustrating results. I've been having ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/08/20/click/ Today marks our (meaning Nate and I) six year anniversary. There's been a lot of growth, a lot of stress, hardship, triumph and joy. We're not officially married yet, that will come eventually, but we love each other regardless. Here's looking forward to many more anniversaries to come. We endeavor ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/08/17/six-years/ That's what I received yesterday: a cardboard tube. What was inside? Well, that requires a tiny backstory... Once upon a time (back in June of this year), I joined a little site called Roleplay Gateway. Yes, now it's time for me to admit my horribly shameful secret... I do text-based roleplay. ... http://blog.skogul.net/2008/08/15/a-tube-in-the-mail/
