The Ways of the Wind by PM Dawn

I finally told him I'm done waiting.

I'm 32 and I have three children... I think that I deserve to be more to him than just a "girlfriend". The issue never would have become so big had he not promised a proposal.

When the semester is over, we'll talk about it further and see if wither of us feel any different.

I hope that we do, actually. I'd rather not leave him.

Either way... he'll always be my best friend... I think.

Shadowrun is Pretty Neat

My cat playing with stuff

So yeah I was pulling an all nighter over at my friend Max's house as we are apt to doing, and we decided that this would be a good time for me to learn how to play the Shadowrun Tabletop system. The character creation system was a bit hard but once we got past that it was really fun. I may actually start playing Shadowrun as my main tabletop system.

daylight savings time is fucking stupid.

so it's that time again. that time when everyone is forced to get up an hour earlier and reset their internal clocks. productivity will be lower in all industries as people adjust the time change, car wrecks will be more common, and record-keeping snafus will be common for the day in question. not to mention that everyone effected by it will be crabby for a few days.

a lot of people attribute daylight savings time to benjamin franklin. because if our founding fathers thought something was a good idea, it must be!

I thought while I was setting up the twitter and identi.ca stuff I might as well add a facebook account for SU. You can follow it at facebook.com/sublogs

Crash Into Me by the Dave Matthews Band

This semester has been absolute hell for me. I had to drop my animation course in order to spare myself the D or F I might get - which would have kicked me out of the art major program!

Now I'm scrambling to catch up in WDMD because I have a big project due Monday night and my final is Thursday. I have to pass this class (110) because 111 begins shortly after this one ends. -.-

Additionally, my Asian Art History mid-term is thursday and my midterm for Com 101 is just after spring break.

EcoFluxx 2.0 Review

"The Charade" by the Elect the Dead Symphony

EcoFluxx was another game sent to me by Looney Labs. I quite enjoyed this nature themed version of Fluxx and am glad they sent it. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to play the first version of this game so I will not be able to point out the differences between the two.

One thing I quite enjoyed was that Looney Labs sent with it a promo postcard for the card "Recycling." Recycling is a new rule card that says "Once per turn you may discard a Keeper you have on the table and Draw 3 extra cards."

What's really nice is that Looney Labs is using a new system for their postcards that uses a peel off sheet that holds the card to the post card. This means the cards don't have those punch out edges any more and can actually be used in the game. Allison from Looney Labs recommended that you peel from the side and not the corner with the new postcards to prevent possible splitting.

Updated Info on the Identi.ca and Twitter Feeds

Submitted by alex on Fri, 03/12/2010 - 01:40

So yeah twitterfeed wasn't working well so I switched to a new system. The good news is that the feeds are updated now whenever there is a new post without having to wait 30 minutes. Also under "My Account" and "Twitter Accounts" you will see an account called sublogs. Don't mess with it!

So apparently a school in Mississippi issued a memorandum stating that all couples at the prom must be of opposite gender. When a lesbian student spoke with the school's superintend to allow her to bring her girlfriend to the prom she was told she could be ejected from the prom.The ACLU and the student attempted to informally convince the school to change their stance. The school instead decided to cancel the prom.

blessed, glorious silence.

So in my quest to blog more, and my quest to spend less time on random internet sites that are bad for me , i'm going to try something new and review a book every week. i've been able to read 2-3 books a week at my top speed, so it shouldn't be too hard. i hope you all like it out there in computer land.

This week's book is On Demand by Justine Elyot . it's an adult book, and i'll try to keep this review as pg-13 as i can, but you may not want to click read more if that's not your thing.
