For once, an entry that’s more of a journal than just ramblings on random subjects. Yesterday, for the second time in my life—and the first time in ten years almost to the dot—I tried myself some marijuana. Specifically, an edible purchased from a legal dispensary after qualifying in an amusingly short screening process for Louisiana’s […]

Still Alive
Not the song, though it’s still a charming piece of music (along with Portal 2’s ‘Want You Gone.’) Just acknowledging it’s been ages since I’ve written anything here, let alone the plans that I had to actually work on this site. The plans still exist, but lately it’s been treading water and looking to possible […]
The Six Degrees of Gypsy Rose Blanchard
I don’t follow gossip in 90% of cases. It’s not an aversion to it really, I’m not going to pretend I’m above saucy rumors—but I have only so many hours in the day and have to try and not waste too many of them. I still do, of course. I first heard about Blanchard through […]

Why I Like Goth
Black is pretty hot. That’s the short. The long has a bit more to it than that. Ever since reading Edgar Allen Poe’s work for the first time sometime before I was 10, I felt an affinity to that nebulous and yet unmistakable subculture. What drew me in? At the time, the imagery. Poe’s writing […]
The Real World
It’s the last (visual, non-quoted) line in the movie Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ at Heaven’s Door. One of the recurring themes in the movie (and greater show arguably) is how someone can be trapped in a state where reality is more than subjective, but distorted. They see different, they hear different. Maybe to them it’s all […]
Baldur’s Gate 3 Is A Game
Early August, Baldur’s Gate 3 released and it felt like the corner of the gaming world dedicated to anything that involves swords, sorcery and the ability to make your own character erupted. Even degenerate skillers in the far corners of Old School RuneScape were gushing about this immaculate gift from the spirit of RPGs themselves. […]
The Search for Divergence
I’ve been looking for a webseries for about a week now, and while it’s hardly the longest time I’ve spent in search of lost media (looking at you, badly-dubbed-in-Russian copy of Annihilation: Earth) it’s quickly shaping up to be one of the most bizarre. The name of the webseries is Divergence, and no: as far […]
The Forgotten Notjima Game/Nazis in Vie de Marli: A Devil May Cry 2 Shallow Dive
Occasionally I like to take trips into possibility, and flex my English major muscles in the time-honored tradition of finding meaning where there is none. To start with: Devil May Cry 2 is in story primarily an exaggerated scenario of global events driven by powerful individuals operating in large NGOs, akin to a what-if scenario […]
Power Cords Are Badass
That’s not a typo; this isn’t about Chris DeGarmo’s or Jim Matheos’ killer riffs. It’s about this: Why are they badass? It’s in the name. Plug it into the wall, pop the other end into your device of choice and watch tamed lightning surge into a boxed-in chemical reaction that lets you do anything, whether […]
