games which I still feel strongly about

Deus Ex (the real one, not the Invisible Whore crapfest)

Counterstrike (1.6 and Source)

Fallout 2 (I've never been able to play the original, because I played 2 first and can't tolerate 1's engine)

Planescape: Torment

One thing I'm immensely grateful for is that I can and will forward this link to my boss, and he will be able to appreciate it.

my favoritest hobby


1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
13. I will never put off tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (The Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized.

Fun with html

This is a strike-through.

UPDATE: the tag for strike-throughs is just 'strike' inside the pointy bracket thingies.

Re: Email

Ok, let's try this again.

FIRST!!1!

My intent here is to record my memories and thoughts. When I try to remember things that happened to me, I can never seem to remember much of it; what little I do is amorphous and barely tangible recollection. It's also an exercise in self-discipline, as the last time I tried to blog, I was too lazy to do more than one post. Finally, I talk to myself too much, and, having a parent with serious mental illness who does the same, I hope to give it an outlet here instead of pacing the house muttering like said parent.
