…so he knows that other people don’t know, who should know about his secret identity? Humm, k. Interesting.  Seems overly complicated though.

blogging on the road, kinda

onefinemess | August 30, 2008

so i’m posting this from my phone in a hotel in Kirkland,Washington. It’s right by Redmond. We went to PAX for a few hours today. I got to see a bunch of people playing Starcraft II – it looked great! and saw Champions online a bit too – it looked like it played a little [...]

politics and….D&D?!

onefinemess | August 29, 2008

I’ve been waiting for an excuse to link to this blog forever.  Because I’m a geek.  And I like D&D, even if I haven’t played it in years, and think that anything after 3.0 is kinda wacky. It’s a cute post.  Enjoy! Besides..how ofter do I get to use my Politics & Gaming tags on [...]

I’ll give McCain 2 points for class: He waited until the day after to announce – it would definitely have affected the DNC news cycle I think.   However, maybe he did it immediately to be a jerk, who knows really.  I’ll just give him the benefit of the doubt for kicks.  He almost loses [...]

oh, and the Dem speeches have been pretty good too

onefinemess | August 28, 2008

I’m not a fan of Hillary’s delivery, but her speech was fairly good. Same deal with Kerry (and god he looks & sounds OLD!) – poor delivery, good speech, better than any speech of his I can recall hearing before. I caught a bit of one of the Latino (Hispanic? I forget the terminology) Caucus [...]

I realized there is an alternate interpretation to Hootie and the Blowfish’s great anthem to dopey 90s rock-pop “Only Wanna Be With You.” My Linguistics is so rusty I can’t recall the proper way to present the semantics, but basically it’s the other usage of only. Reading 1: (The one I’ve been operating under for [...]

Runaways v3

onefinemess | August 27, 2008

…is pretty lame so far. The art is anime-ish and annoying – everyone looked like they were yelling all the time (like anime). The writing…wow, I don’t think I’ve ever felt that characterizations were so incredibly, noticeably, OFF before after any writer switch.  At  least that I can remember. I mean, the bones of the [...]

whew, good thing they were white!

onefinemess | August 26, 2008

This cracks me up. This is a passage (unfortunately without citation or evidence…what the hell??) from the book I’m reading VERY SLOWLY (a history of Ethiopia): The West explained Ethiopia’s victory through sophistry.  Since racism did not permit Westerners to acknowledge that black men could vanquish whites, Europeans suddenly discovered that Ethiopians were Caucasians darkened by exposure [...]

the fourth or fifth thing

onefinemess | August 24, 2008

(you didn’t count did you!?) … is that we’re pregnant again!  Of course if you follow both of our blogs, you know this already, because Jen already posted.  So yeah, go us. Woo hoo!  I’m so glad for them (Z & #2) that they will only be 21 months apart.  I wanted them even closer [...]

the sexlympics?

Dang, I didn’t know it was like Disney World employee village all up in there. But it does make sense. But what is up with that image of a deep, deep wedgie they feature so prominently?  Ugg.
