I’ve allowed myself to become completely and utterly obsessed with Warhammer Online. The past month has sort of been like that last hour of work on Friday before the weekend starts; the fabric of time slows down and forces you to endure the most excruciating hour ever, but at the same time there’s this feeling of relief in knowing that there are only a few minutes between you and 48 hours of doing whatever the fuck you want. Waiting for a release date of a game is a lot like that, with each day that passes getting you closer to...

On the Subject of Starting Over
As I go into the 6th year of owning this website and likely the 3rd year of passively wondering why I continue to pay for it, there is the occasional moment where the expense is forgiven and I actually feel the need to write. Despite it’s rarity it’s an unfortunate occurrence for everyone involved, not only for myself and the struggle it puts me through but also for those whose obscure Google searches somehow lead The People of the Internet into thinking that this site could contain any information that they actually wanted to find.

The weather here in Phoenix is finally in an official upswing, with the forecast promising that for the next week and a ½ the temperature should climb up to 80 degrees or more. I am so ready for the warm weather to get here; I’m tired of wearing coats and worrying about how my long legs make my jeans to look like high-waters when I wear sneakers. It’s this time of year that makes me feel as though I’m on a vacation every day, as ever since 2002 Phoenix was the place that I went to get away from rural...
