I live in the city. I work at a white-collar desk job. Still, I have to admit that I went to a backwater high school in a rural county. Now, I can’t say that I’m proud of it, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a part of who I am. That’s how [...]
Oh my goodness. What has Daddy done to you?! Only kidding, honey. I actually thought it would be cute to dress Izzy up like his daddy. Unfortunately, Izzy doesn’t have anything but screen prints on his shirts so I thought no shirt would be the next most appropriate thing. Oh, and my son has inherited [...]
The role of the gamemaster, at least in most tabletop RPGs, is inherently antagonistic. This isn’t to say that GMs are sadistic or evil, although many, including myself, are often (jokingly) referred to as such. Of course, the game would be boring without any opposition, and so the GM plays a very necessary role at [...]
This is a collection of pictures that I thought would be a nice group photo. The blanket is the best one. When he wears that, he runs around the room with his arms flailing around until he runs into a chair or a wall. He falls down, laughs about it, then gets back up and [...]
Ugh! Izzy has taken it upon himself to get Mommy and Daddy up in the morining by jumping out of his crib. So, I decided it was time to make it a “big boy” bed. That wasn’t the solution. Now he gets out of bed a dozen times before he finally falls asleep. And on [...]
It’s a crass but accurate classification, I think. I’ve recently refined my definition. Someone who doesn’t know something, even something that’s common sensical or obvious, is ignorant. Someone who’s sure that they’re right despite their ignorance is just plain stupid. That being established, I Stumbled around yesterday and found several prime examples of stupid people. [...]
Last week, the guys over at Search Engine Lowdown decided to write a satirical post about the Anti-Geekery League, a made-up organization out to combat geeky practices wherever they are found. JP was the first up, and it was hilarious. More significantly, however, nobody was able to answer his trivia question (which, to the best [...]
For some reason, Izzy loves to clap on his head. He thinks it’s the greatest thing next to tea. Tea is still #1 after a year. Anyway, I think this picture more or less speaks for itself. They really are a lot alike. For one, my mother-in-law used to tell me a story of my [...]
There are a lot of guilds in World of Warcraft, most of which have imaginative names. I’d have to say, though, that “Illegal Danish” is one of the kookiest I’ve heard. Of course, I’d join them in a heartbeat just for the notoriety. This is one of the machinimas that turned them into a Warcraft [...]
On the day I took this picture, my mom and brother were coming over for a visit. Hubby and I tried for an hour to get him to take a nap so he’d be ready to play when they got here. Instead Izzy had other plans. He played and played, then finally, crawled up next [...]
