Long story short, I lost my password a long time ago and was too lazy to recover it (until just now). I still lurk, but never post, which might be the saddest thing I've ever written.

By the way, h ...

My resolutions for last year:

1. Hesitate less
2. Exercise
3. Be Punctual

I do hesitate much less than I did a year ago, although I still find myself wandering around my hou ...

i have a lot of pets, so this is going to be a big post. :X

my newest cat, syd. or sid. doesn't really matter which.

Crysis, according to what i've read from the developers, is meant to be so graphically dense that essentially no consumer computer will be able to run it at full tilt at an acceptable frame rate. I gu ...

I'm with you on this one. I just got the Orange Box for my 360 and Portal is freaking brilliant. I was an hour late to work the other day, just because I got so wrapped up in beating it.

in the spirit of the steam community group thread, i'm making an xbox live gamertag thread. would be fun to waste time with some fellow sijuners.

mine is worlk.

on a side note, got the halo 3, a ...

i thought zodiac was one of the best movies I've seen in years. The director has a serious case of OCD; seriously, there wasn't a hair out of place in that movie, not a wasted line of dialogue. Quite ...

Flash memory is practically indestructible. I've read that you can soak them in soda overnight and they'll still work. They're resistant to extreme temperature, humidity, etc. I'm pretty sure you can ...

Usually bugs don't.. bug me. But this is a visage purely from hell.

Found him in my garden last week or so. Seriously, wtf god?

i've been gone, wandering the wilds of the internet, lurking on the worst forums (4chan) and the best (the straight dope's message board is a modern salon). Coming back to sijun was like cresting a cr ...

It was pretty much what I expected it to be, if not a little underwhelming. But, I thought about it on the way home and came up with the conclusion that one hour and a half movie can't possibly compet ...

Well, fantasy is scorned in general (even Tolkien) as teen fare, and the Harry Potter series is one of the absolute teensiest. I guess it's sort of elitism, but it's also just that I should be reading ...

I've actually skipped reading all of the books in lieu of just watching the movies. That way, I figure the movies won't be ruined by any nagging thoughts of "the book was better!"

Plus, I ...

It's alway so great having you around, sweetums. No one else writes so forcefully that he or she sounds like they're spanking the whole forum at once. It's especially terrific when you completely miss ...

I feel terrible for this local graffiti artist/muralist/urban renewalist/whatever. See, he got a $20,000 grant from the NEA to paint this 150-foot long wall that bordered the south side of a community ...

Just curious, why do all of you Americans use the European sizes? I had to check the European section of Wacom's site just to see what you guys were talking about. I've got an A6 (4" x 5"), ...

yeah, no kidding synnical. I always thought the point was for aircraft to stay away from power lines. It must take steady nerves to hover like that for so long.

Wow, this was the first I had heard about John McTiernan's legal troubles. I haven't had any success finding out if he's actually in prison, though. This kind of saddens me; McTiernan is one of my fav ...

Jimmy: My tender heart is rent asunder by what's happened to Die Hard the Fourth. The director of freaking Underworld instead of John McTiernan? PG-13, for Christ's sake?

I was entertained by it, and I'm a pretty fair movie snob. There weren't any great moments like when Spidey got his mojo back in 2, but it was better than average popcorn fare.

I can't figure out ...

Very nice paintings. I wanted you to prove that you were in charge of multi-billion dollar contracts, and not some kid with delusions of grandeur.

Multi-billion, huh? Which ones? I wasn't even aware that there were "art projects" with billion dollar budgets. Let's see some proof.

I know I shouldn't press the button, but I can't help myself.

jordan is my best friend. i can joke about whatever i want with her lol

I'm sure you can. Just checking to see if her parents knew. ...

So, uh, do the parents of this fifteen year-old girl know you go around making jokes about raping her on the internet?

Unless you actually meant that you were the 15 year-old girl crying in the sho ...

Astronomy is one of my deeply secret and altogether consuming passions. If people just ditched that bullshit astrology, world peace would ensue. There is no more humbling thought than to place oneself ...

What really amazes me about extrasolar planet discoveries is that they can figure out size, orbit speed, atmospheric and geological composition (and arguably the presence of organic matter), and proba ...

That's funny, Fred. A lot of the big shows on TV right now came from Europe. American Idol's the big one, but there's also Fear Factor, Big Brother, Deal or No Deal, The Office, Extreme makeover: Home ...

Why do you hate myspace? Seems like it would be right up your alley. Bad poetry, namedropping, ridiculous internet machismo, bizarre forums posts written as blog entries, etc. But I'm just fanning the ...

I'm not worried. Iran probably has fissile material and has promised to make good on their threats of using it. Since that therefore makes them a legitimate threat, the most probable course of action ...

I was watching Maury Povich the other day and this couple came on. They were deeply in love and already had a kid together. Before they got married, though, they had one nagging doubt: they thought th ...
