  • Introducing Lily, and Reconnection

    I have decided, to hell with it, and I am going to tell you where to find my latest project, because it’s kind of important.  So you can find it at https://lovelylilylives.com. My project is a virtual character named Lily.  She is a sixteen year old girl who has no memory past a year ago,…

  • Reconfiguration

    I haven’t posted here for a while.  I tried once, and I just couldn’t.  So instead, I’ll just post a bit of an update on how I’m doing, for those who might care, and we’ll just go from there. I’ve had some tooth problems for quite a while, since before COVID.  Truth is, I hate…

  • Why Science Fiction Sucks

    I have written previously about why I like science fiction.  Now let me tell you why it sucks.  And how that relates to our current political situation. I’ve always been a fan of science fiction.  I enjoy thinking about speculative technology, and like nothing more than learning about a new and heretofore unknown physical principle…

  • Daria

    A long time ago, there used to be an animated series on TV called “Daria”.  I remember when I first saw it, near when it first came out.  I couldn’t watch it.  I even got a little sick after watching it.  Maybe I was coming down with something, but maybe not.  I dunno.  It really…

  • Interstitial

    I find myself in the unusual position of not knowing what to write about. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I can find plenty of things to write about, on one level.  I have several topics that I could write on.  In fact, I just discarded a post that I thought might be a bit too… …

  • Underneath

    There is a specific genre of Sci-Fi I’ve always liked. I’ve never really liked the fantasy type where fair knights wander around on knightly errantry.  I’ve never really liked the type where someone is trying to make a social point or extrapolate the future – though those types are really impactful in their own way.…

  • The Breast Post Ever

    So WordPress tells me I’m on a 28 day streak of posting to this blog.  Yay me.  I don’t think I’m going to break that streak today.  But there’s nothing that’s really pressing on my mind.  So I thought this time I’d make a mindless post. I’m going to post about breasts.  Why not? Oh,…

  • To Fix the World

    This is going to be one of those posts that I’m going to look back on, and think “that was a pretty good post”.  And then I’m going to regret it utterly. Today, I had a bad experience at work.  My team has just been merged with another team, and both of our different teams…

  • What I Musically Love about Japanese Music

    I may be able to extract a post for Texihabara on this subject from this, but I kind of want to be a little freer here. There is something about Japanese music that fascinates me.  Well, several things, really. Babymetal has a song, “Da da dance”.  It’s an extraordinarily high energy song with lots of flaily…

  • Otaku Introspection

    I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, lately.  Big news, right?  I mean, I never do that!  Usually I just careen…  ah well.  Sarcasm is lost in this medium. Anyway, I’ve been thinking.  I sure do care far too much about how I’m perceived in some ways, don’t I?  And mostly, even how I’m perceived…
