In which I take a cheap shot at the math impaired

I don’t actually have any math classes at school.  I’m a liberal arts major, which means that I had to take one (1) term of Math 111C, College Algebra, in order to get my general studies requirements out of the … Continue reading

Why are there so many shows about fangirls?

Let’s be perfectly clear: I am horribly, horribly tempted to write a whole new set of lyrics set to the tune of “Rainbow Connection“, starting with the title of this post and continuing apiece, but that is dangerously close to … Continue reading

OK, I’m taking this out of the PSP now.

After a bit over 25 hours, I’ve finally beaten every song in Project Diva on hard.   Surprisingly, Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu (“Disappearance”) only took 3 tries to beat on hard.  Like a lot of other songs, the unlocking was the … Continue reading

I don’t think I’ve ever previously tapped In Living Color as inspiration for the title of a post, and I don’t know as I will again. It honestly didn’t have that many other catchphrases that have lasted through the years, … Continue reading

One does not care to acknowledge the mistakes of one’s youth

You know / You’ve figured in some fantasies…

For some reason, I’ve had Genesis stuck in my head, and kind of an odd song choice at that.  I don’t think it was a single and I don’t ever remember hearing it on the radio, but for some reason … Continue reading

I played a REALLY short game.

Sadly, this post and the next two are in reverse chronological order, which kind of spoils the progression. Oh, well. Anyway.  After finishing Gurumin and then writing a couple of posts talking about it and Borderlands, it was a little … Continue reading
