It turns out that it’s rather exhausting to watch a table all weekend. When I got home Sunday night (and also for most of yesterday) I felt like this: (Coincidentally, I drew that at the con. You end up kind
Return to Sender in the Modern Era
I’ve been having a spate of wrong emails lately, Squiders. You know the ones–where someone is looking for their friend, or their business compatriot, or their lab partner, and doesn’t check to make sure they have the right email address,
So Far, So Good
Well, squiders, we’re into week 2 on my class (and Lord of the Rings Online) and I have yet to get completely sucked into the game. Part of this may be because I’m in the Shire at the moment, and

Denver Comic Con, Cosplay, and Miscellany

Interesting Notes on Japanese Religion
Here we go, as promised. So, as I mentioned on Tuesday, the Japanese people tend to be both Buddhist and Shinto(ist?). Shinto is the native Japanese religion, founded 2000+ years ago, and is a ritualistic system that believes in a
The Land of the Rising Sun
Well, Squiders, I am back from two weeks in Japan! If all went well you got regular updates and didn’t notice anything weird (aside from the posts being on time). Japan was very nice and not as much of a
