Your Inner Nerd – Take Two

So it turns out that I am a Sci-Fi/Comic (and Fantasy) and History/Literature (can we say Lore?) nerd.  I say this is pretty close to nail on the head.    I am disappointed the quiz did not have more questions along the lines of Dungeons and Dragons or video games, but I see I tend …

D3: Surviving Hell

I have been meaning to make this post for a few days, after making an executive decision to not write at all while on my extended D3 weekend.  I am still playing WoW, and continue to do so for plenty of time here forward, but the new shiny of D3 has apparently given me a …

Rate Your Inner Nerd

Okie, after the reading the posts of both Ancient and Matty, I had to take the test.  And wow, I am really nerdy.  lol Since I do not want that to be the entirety of my first post in several days, I wanted to share something I was thinking about in the car this morning. …

D3: I Have Dyed and Gone to Heaven!

My longest gaming experience prior to WoW was Dark Age of Camelot.  I really enjoyed all of my time with that game, and I do still miss it sometimes (but not enough to pay a monthly fee anymore!). One thing that always tickled my fancy in DAoC (and hit me hard in the pocketbook) was …

D3: Beyond Beta

Above is a screenshot of what you would see upon killing the Skeleton King in the Beta.  You could play through Act 1 as many times as you wanted, but once the Skeleton King died – you basically “beat the game.”  (I have been wanting to post that screenshot, but I made myself wait until …

Machinehead [Mature]

So the other day, I randomly started thinking about some of the older short stories I used to work on, before I started writing stories about my WoW characters. I figured I would share one. Now, to keep myself from endlessly editing this story and never actually posting it (which I can totally see myself …

Learning to Say “No”

Every time I stop to think on this particular topic, it makes me think of one of my previous bosses.  He used to praise me highly for all the things I would accomplish, and especially those things that I assisted him with.  The one negative item in my performance reviews that always came up was …

RIP Jessie

We interrupt your regularly scheduled mogging and lore for an important announcement.  Last evening, one of my mother’s kitties passed away.  Her name was Jessica, but she was always Jessie. Jessie was a fierce mouser and a lover of treats.  When not batting around catnip mice or “hiding” in boxes where she seemed to feel …

The Fine Art of Creating and Managing a Pandora Station

Pandora is a wonderful tool for the music lover, especially the music lover who seeks this passion while operating various computers and handheld devices – at home, at work, and out and about. I was introduced to Pandora by Laz, and promptly became most enamored with it.  In fact, that first month, it took me …
