I’m not going to go into any detail about what has happened since my last post. I actually finished all of my Christmas shopping on time; it was finished on Christmas Eve, just in time for the main event. Overall, Christmas was pleasant and quite relaxing. I received a good percentage of the items on [...]

The game is not MOH: Frontline. That part is simple enough. While Frontline presented a big leap forward in graphics and attention to detail, Rising Sun makes only modest steps in the right direction. One reason for this may be the terrible rendering of trees and other fauna when viewed closely. While horizon-distance and even [...]

I forgot to mention that when Annie and I were Christmas shopping at the Selinsgrove Mall, we heard a 20-something shoe salesman in the Bon-Ton tell his female coworker, “I saw this girl the other night and she was, like, retardedly hot.” Way to go, Slick.

I saw a commercial last night advertising Chaser, an unusual pill that will “prevent hangovers.” They said to take two pills for every three alcoholic beverages that you drink. This is just what we need: a pill to get rid of the effects of alcohol abuse–that way, you can drink yourself drunk and not have [...]

I followed an interesting remaindered link from Kottke.org to a page that discloses the caffeine content of everyday foods and drugs. It’s interesting to see that one dose of Excedrin has more caffeine in it than a single dose of regular-strength No-Doz. That really wasn’t that surprising to me, since I knew that caffeine has [...]
