you want me to do what to my recycling?

onefinemess | June 29, 2008

OK, so this week we got a little note in one of our recycling bins telling us that they won’t take glass/plastic that hasn’t been “cleaned”.
SRSLY!??
Let me get this straight:

I’m spending extra time filtering out my TRASH, and carrying out 4 bins instead of ONE.
I’m PAYING you to pick up this stuff which you are [...]

update

onefinemess | June 27, 2008

So, yeah, haven’t posted much lately.  I don’t have a whole lot of time to write, and what I have had this last week was spent working on a small guide for City of Villains – for the Crab Soldier archetype I mentioned in a previous post.
Anyway, if you’re curious about that kind of thing, [...]

06/26/08 – Avengers week!

onefinemess | June 26, 2008

There was yet another Avengers title in my box:
Avengers: The Initiative 14: Unlike Hannibal Tabu,  I really enjoyed this issue.  In fact, I may actually read it again (pssst, that’s really high praise from me, I rarely read something more than once inside 5 years).  While I agree that Triathlon’s (sp?) sudden moniker change to [...]

06/25/08 – recent comics

onefinemess | June 25, 2008

Final Crisis 2 – I’m sure there’s a reason one of the evil gods is the spitting image of Al Sharpton.  I like the writing in what Morrison is doing here, but much of the rest of the DC world feels “off”.  I think maybe he’s not meant to write mainstream books…everything he does has [...]

D&D: 4th ed

onefinemess | June 21, 2008

So I noticed the new books out in a B&N over in the Clackamas Town Center/Mall last week or so, and barely had time to skim it, but it looked interested.  It “looked” like the streamlined things and made them much more accessible to newcomers, as well as highlighting the leveling curve and “making each [...]

Wow.  That is horrible.

Friday links

Psssst, your whiteness is showing.
Man, they can already snoop on quantum encryption.  That took no time at all.  Like, less than no time.
This actually kind of inspired me and made me proud of California (no, it’s not the gay marriage thing!  But that’s true there too of course).  I never thought Arnold would actually make [...]

Penny Arcade vs. ccgs

onefinemess | June 17, 2008

Check out today’s comic.
Now, I don’t play the WoW ccg, NOR WILL I EVER, but I still understand the frustration.  Magic has some combos like this but happily I’ve never ran into them.

Songs about pets

onefinemess | June 16, 2008

For some reason the other day I got to thinking about bands that write songs about their pets. Probably because I was listening to the Weakerthans at some point. Oh yeah! It was because I was doing that little blog about them…so anyway, here’s the song in question and a couple [...]
