"What, the curtains?" But I digress. Today, it was all about the annoyances, because I'll be damned if this day wasn't created for the specific purpose to get on my nerves. You always know...
It seems like it was yesterday, and yet looking back, it plays out in my mind as if it were a film I watched years ago. How strange it is that events in one's life can be incredibly personal, and...
Well, my 10,000th post has come and gone, and rather than celebrate with ASCII streamers and pixelated party favors, I decided to make it a rather quiet affair. That landmark post was actually a...
For a gay man, it seems odd that breasts have been so present in my life the last few days. It all started with my time with Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude , the first game in the series...

Understanding is not the same as agreeing, and this is as clear to me as ever. After some sincere discussion and his ever-steadfast support, I may not be happier about waiting to marry until Rich...
Well, it started out as a seemingly good night last night didn't end as I had hoped. I was happy that I had finished my Myst IV: Revelation review , and was tooling around on AIM waiting for...
Well, the travails of yellow living room walls continue, this time in the form of the border I chose to "soften the room." Well, see for yourself: I don't know whether I like it or not, but at...
OK, I suppose I have made no secret of my profound love for Katamari Damacy, but I am going to use this space to once again implore those who are missing out on this fine gaming experience to skip...
It's been a good day as a writer: not only was my review of Anarchy Online: Alien Invasion featured on the front page of the main Anarchy Online website , but my review of The Chronicles of...
Nor is Chicken Run a popular fast food restaurant in the metro DC area; that would be Chicken Out . Yet one of my coworkers unwittingly provided two doses of humor in a single day, proclaiming...

Let me say this: I almost never drink. Aside from the occasional beer or a mixed drink at a nice restaurant, I don't have much taste for alcohol. On the other hand, I have a penchant for...
In the midst of everything going on in my life, good and bad, I just moved to a new apartment, and I couldn't wait to paint, even before everything was moved. I painted the bedroom earlier this...
I'm gay. If the very mention of that information twists your brain in an uncomfortable manner, then you may not want to read this entry. I'm jealous of a 10-year-old. Sad, but true. When I...
Well, now with The Sims 2 review at IGO behind me, and a few health problems conquered, I sat down to Second Sight last night, eager to play a game I have been anticipating for most of the summer....
