  • Webcomic Appearances

    I failed to mention an appearance I had in a webomic recently! An old friend of mine, Robin Meyer put me in her web comic, Real Life Fiction. This used to be a regular thing for me- I appeared in a variety of friend’s webcomics in all sorts and forms. I suppose when I get…

  • the best compliment

    One day at work, where i was being my usual crazy self, a customer observed to a fellow coworker (who later told me) that I was a “character out of a movie” and “I couldn’t be real”. I stopped in my tracks after my coworker told me this after the fact- I couldn’t think of…

  • LaFonda’s Interior

    A picture of my car before I had it taken away by the tow truck from the charity. Used the AutoStitch app on my iPhone. I miss the car already- I’ll be writing a small retrospective of my time with my car. Before that, I’ll be doing a writeup of my experiences at E3, 2011!…

  • The Uncharted 2 Nametag

    My current job, working as a library clerk, requires me to have a nametag on at all times. I try to keep it on, but I was having difficulty trying to figure out a way to customize it. After going to one of the theater-demos for Uncharted 2, I finally found a way. Now, I…

  • my friends can be assholes.

    I usually find my friends to be helpful, kind people which I rely on time and time again. This is not one of those times, unfortunately. This is one of those stories that ends up on the opposite side of the spectrum. I arrived at my friend Primo’s house one Saturday evening quite hungry, as…

  • Hipstamatic

    So no real news. But I’m oddly fond of this picture. Took it using Hipstamatic app for my iPhone. The little nuggets of images I turn up just with the iPhone’s pretty fantastic lens (as long as it gets good light) has been quite fun. The variety of apps for the camera alone has been…

  • Working at a Library

    Sometimes, it drives me insane- the crowds, the complaints, the sheer amount of work- but through it all, I love working at a library. Take today, for example. A mother and her son walked into the library today, making a beeline for the video section. I took no notice when they first walked in, until…

  • My second computer

    Yesterday, I took apart my second computer to get it scrapped.   It was built by a small computer shop on Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena. It no longer exists.   I remember helping picking out the parts- a 500 mhz Pentium 3 CPU. 20 gigs of storage. Two optical drives in it. The green case,…

  • Rest in Peace, Dreamcast

    Yesterday was the date, ten years prior, that the last Sega video game console was released. 9/9/99 was the date the Dreamcast came into the world and revolutionized video games. i wrote a little story about my very first memory of my Dreamcast over at Wing Damage.com: http://bit.ly/3tjoz It’s thinking, baby.
