Writing About Everything...

Been changing

Sorry I have been less than active as of late. I just got settled down in the new place and I haven't been able to do much work at all on the site. I'm glad to see it's still up and running though.

I have been working on a new project for the old Blizzard Entertainment game called Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, (the predecessor to World of Warcraft). This is a map made using the extreamlly powerful World Editor.

A Tragedy of Revolution

So, I don't know if anyone has heard about Joe Stack yet. In fact, I don't know if you will. I'm hesitant to write this here because the FBI could come a knockin' at the door. I would make it clear that I do not condone what he has done, though his reasons I can agree with very much.

Indefensible

THIS (from the "What You Think" section of the Wisconsin Stateline Opinion pages):

"Make your choice before you conceive"

"In Sunday's article 'Abortion foes rally, march to clinic site,' the real name of the rally--Defend Life Rally--is mentioned under the picture.  Also mentioned was the presence of abortion-rights supporters.

Insight

I'm willing to bet you weren't always like this. I want to know if your game is an art, a practice. Does this happen a lot? At the time, I knew it wasn't. You were the most sincere, the sweetest, the most thoughtful, and the best looking. How quickly the promises we make to strangers fade, like throwing a fistful of water at glass in June. I was honest because I'm always honest. I never seem to learn any of the lesson's that I preach about. I am tried and true and I'm always willing. I walk in to every situation with an open mind.

Just for the record...

THIS (from a kid a year younger than me's bio on that one social networking site):

"My wife and I are Christians. Rooted in that, we have committed to being content to welcome and raise as many children as the Lord gives us. Actually, we've joked since before we were married that some day we will have twenty children. God only knows what the final tally will be, though."

Sometimes people ask me why I'm in feminist classes.  Sometimes people ask me why feminism matters.

From Cover to Cover

A good book is always a good book. Rereading a tried and true novel is a rush. I get insight into things I may have missed the first few times around. At the same time, certain aspects of a story never change. I'll always be reminded of why the story made me smile, sob, or think. I could read so many stories over and over again. It's comforting and an assurance, something that will always be there for me.

"Yellow L(g)i(h)f(t)e"

Can we please slow down?
I would like
to get off.

Anywhere
is fine.

Can you please not smile like that,
I don't think you're right
in the head.

[[[GRIND]]]
...to a halt!

(smile unbroken)

yes, we'll step off here

Where to, chap?

That fine-looking drug-store?

We need three daysworth
of sleep and no, ma'am,
needles are not a problem.

Dear Lord, I am an incorrigible oaf.
I appear to have emptied nearly half
my tobacco with all the frantic
rolling between stops.

Music With Joe #8

So, it's been a while since I've done one of these. Business as usual around here, except maybe everything has been a bit crazier. Still, the real reason I've hesitated so long has been because I haven't been able to decide on a song. Reaching into the past for amazing songs (at least to me) is something I'm used to, but I wanted to do something a little more contemporary.
