Because ten billion years' time is so fragile
I updated the "Currently" listing on the sidebar, and I wanted to mention here Now and Then, Here and There (review, also linked on sidebar). I've seen it several times over the last few years, but I rarely see it mentioned by many folks. I'm not hard-core into anime, but I do enjoy it and poke around the interweb occasionally looking for new titles, but I only heard about NTHT when Jason brought home the series from the video store.
It's a good story, and I really like the look of the animation (and hey, Shu is kind ofa hottie well drawn character, if I were into that type of thing). Characters are conflicted, and motivated. They make sense in the world they inhabit, and the issues with which they deal are treated well. No easy resolutions. I was very suprised by how much I cared what the characters, even the quote-unquote bad guys, were facing. It ranks up there with Whedonverse in characterization. It's worth a look if you have even a mild interest in anime.

With my luck, they'd get Tori Spelling.
I'm certain that I've expressed some, um, negative feelings concerning Tori Spelling many times in this blog, even if a search only reveals a single example. I'm guessing that all of the others have been made without mentioning her by name. Dammit, I KNOW I've done it many, many times! It's Tori Spelling, for pete's sake!
Anyway, all this just so I can say that my estimation of Tori Spelling has risen over the last year or two. I'm not saying that she's great. Just saying that she... isn't that bad. and also that I think she will probably get better.
Here's the part where I talk about and link to stuff about dead cute fluffy animals to distract everyone from anything that may have come before.

Now wait... why is Canadian bacon the official state pork product?
I haven't been following the EU Constitution thingie at all until I started reading up on it over the last few days, and I'm not at all edumucated enough on the subject to form an opinion on whether it should be approved or not, but I am certainly excited by all of this. Historicity, plain and simple.
But why do I keep thinking of it in terms of games like Civilization, Alpha Centauri and Birth of the Federation, games of which I am an avid fan?

Serenity
Mildly spoilery... Blogcritics.org: Serenity: You Can't Stop the Signal
Had a Serenity dream last night, one in which the cast decided to dress as characters from other sci-fi shows while they went around harassing people who said negative things about Serenity. It was kind of fun, until it devolved into this Saw-meets-Survivor things that was really scary.

Hiya. Remember me?
Until last week, it had been more than six months since I last posted, and before that, it had been more than a year. I just haven't had the desire to post without Buffy to obsess over. About the same time, I lost my job, and didn't have the interest in surfing like I used to, so no more linkage either.
I still have nothing to obsess over, and I still don't poke around the interweb like I once did, but I thought I'd give this blogging thing a try again, if for no other reason than to be able to look back one day (as I'm doing now with everything I'd blogged before) and think to myself, "Holy crap, what the hell was wrong with me? Did I bump my noggin that much?
I'm gonna see if this will hold my interest without the glue of Buffy.
I've already posted a few days, but where do I go from here? (ha! Buffy still makes a showing!) How about an update:
First, I was laid off from the mighty TVGuide as scheduled. No biggie. I enjoyed some time off before I started seriously seeking employment again. It was nice. Restful. I got to spend a lot of time with Jason, which was new. Our schedules had always been opposites. I worked weekdays, he worked evenings and weekends. Usually, we only had two or three days where we could really spend time together.
So, it turns out, Jason and I really do like each other.
After five months of slackerness, I took a temp position at a company that, among other things, provides billing and customer care for the largest electric REP in Texas. I did intend it to be a temp job, but it paid better than any other job I'd had, and it turns out that I have a knack for it. I eventually let them hire me on full time. Where I still am. *sob*
For brevity, a few bullet points:
One hottie Republican with a soul.
one bundle of Pure Evil that I ADORE
a Crazy Aunt
one spikey-haired guy with a sense of humor even more juvenile than mine
a strong-willed, cynical pragmatist with whom I'm destined to battle, Pokemon style
another Republican, this one balancing youthful optimism with 'I just don't give a fuck' (and he too is a hottie)
a gamer-geek who's profane vocabulary seems only to include various names for female body parts (another hottie)
the boyfriend's family...
oy, falling prey to that Emmy's thank you speech thing where I'm askeered to leave anyone out. If I keep going this list will be too long to blog. It's enough to know that these and others have had a lasting, positive impact on me. I am glad to have crossed paths with each of them, even if I may one day have to crush them while I'm ruling the world with an iron fist. tsk tsk.

For brevity, a few bullet points:
- TiVO! I should have listened to Max so much sooner. All the crap TV out there I never have to see!
- back pain gone! Figured out that it wasn't my back, it was my computer chair. I don't feel like myself without the constant pain.
- Smashed up the car. Head-on collision. went to the hospital with dizziness, blurred vision and nausea. Two MRIs later, the doc says that I just have a sinus infection.
- Jason and I moved from the apartment we'd been in for almost four years. Only things I miss about it are the in-apartment washer and dryer and the Starbucks within walking distance.

It's all MINE!
I have it listed on the left as one of my 'Currently Reading', so I'll also mention that Noblesse Oblige: The Book of Houses is the last book I needed to complete my Changeling gaming collection! Huzzah!
So sad we've no more time together
The new guy at work that I referred to last week is gone already. He went out and found himself a real job, the goob.
Now what am I supposed to look at?
Now what am I supposed to look at?
All the little things
Still messing around with hammering out little things... I'm hopeful that I will continue blogging after I've got the template worked out the way I want ^_^
