New Blog

I quit this blog a year ago, promising to take up the reins of a new project someday. That day is here:

http://onoccasion.wordpress.com/

Updates every Saturday.

The End

All right. Three years and 1,130 posts later, I think it's time to hang up the coat.

When I first started this blog, I posted 1) every day, and 2) a fact. For the last year or so, most of my posts have been links and pictures, and I never update on time anymore. The purpose of the blog is no longer being fulfilled and I'm clearly losing interest. The moment has come to bow out.

I might start writing another blog. If I do, I'll notify all the people I'm aware of who read this one. You are, in no particular order:

• Mandy
• Marina
• Lila
• Jim
• My parents
• Cherie
• Andy

If you'd like to be notified when I start a new writing "project," and your name isn't listed above, please post a comment at the bottom of this post or shoot me an email.

Thanks for reading!

About a year and a half ago I bought a GameCube and several games, which I proceeded to never play. I finally pulled out Resident Evil 4 the other day and, holy crap, it rocks. Notice to 360 owners: if you've got a friend to play it with, you must immediately download the Resident Evil 5 demo.

Have you ever seen one of those drawings that spells a word, and when you turn it upside down it still spells the word? Turns out those things have a name -- ambigrams.

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

After scraping the bottom of the job hunting barrel for several months and still turning up nothing, I've decided that this sums up my feelings pretty much exactly.
