OK, OK, photos of weird Japanese fast food aren’t that exciting.  I’ll try not to do this too often. But it snowed yesterday.  It’s bloody cold.  I cannot be faulted for looking through vacation photos from August in an effort … Continue reading →

When wiki no worky

Posted on November 26, 2007 by baudattitude

These Tombs, they won’t raid themselves.

Posted on November 22, 2007 by baudattitude

I shouldn’t be doing any gaming at the moment. I have finals coming up in two weeks and the JLPT3 in 8 days. Still… I have been packing on a lot of stress, and there’s only so much hitting the … Continue reading →

I think I’ve made my position very clear on just how I feel about being pandered to:  I’m in favor of it. From the searches that bring people to this site – I’m not alone here.  People come here looking … Continue reading →
