FIRE IN THE HOLE

Yesterday’s plans got derailed because of A FIRE IN THE BUILDING. oop. Incredibly, there was no fire alarm. This is mindblowing. My roommate and I have spent the past year being super-diligent and coming outside at 2 am in our pajamas every time some jackass decides to pull the fire alarm for kicks....

prelude to ruin: the best-laid plans

Every day I feel like I'm not doing enough. I have all these things I want to do and I wind up doing none of them. I guess that's better than not wanting to do anything at all, but it's still not great. Where does all the time go? HGR suggested I make a list of things to do so I have concrete goals ...

the great return

The day is finally at hand: I'm going back to the office. Twelve months ago, I would have been overjoyed at the prospect. Now that I've settled into home life, it mostly seems like a pain. That's just how it goes, I guess. Catching the train in the morning was not quite as smooth as I would’ve like...

day on the town

Went downtown with my roommate. "I hate this city," he said. It makes me sad that the things I love about the city are the things he hates. I love it because it's big and bustling and lively. He says it's noisy and crowded and chaotic. He also hates walking everywhere. But he didn't want to take an ...

there's always a gift shop

There were severe thunderstorms in the forecast today, so hiking was off the table. R.M. remained safely ensconced in the hotel room. For the rest of us, Mom had an idea: We could tour a college! This is peak Mom, but the rest of us had no better ideas. It did sound better than most colleges. Berea ...

small waterfall, large spaghetti

Traveling with parents presents its own challenges. For instance, Mom is very concerned about Mom Things (tm). I mentioned the holes in my pants and she was like bloo bloo bloo bloo!! She insisted we go to Walmart yesterday to try on new pants. The offerings were pretty meager so here I am still in ...

First, Black Cherry Bomb grew up and began her career as stalker for Ravenlight/Megalovania. She replaces Lucky Taro...

summer's boon

Google keeps sending me photo slideshows from the Croatia trip two years ago, like "Hey! Remember when you went on summer vacation? Wasn't that cool?" But it's finally time for another vacation! We're going on a hiking trip in Kentucky. My roommate was flabbergasted when I told him about it. "Do you...

tacos, hammerwatch, and thordan's triumph

Last month, numbers, Dante, HGR, and I played Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos (the tacos game). It was originally numbers' idea. "This might be cool as a new Hammerwatch-ish kinda thing to play?" he said. It turned out not to be particularly good, but we still had fun with it. HGR played ranger, but he...
