KITTEN!
Kittenkittenkitten!
Kitten!
If only we didn't already have two cats…
But still. Kitten!
ETA: After much deliberation, Brian and I have decided that we must go to the shelter after work to ascertain for ourselves whether this kitten is truly as cute as the picture makes it look, or if the local shelter is perpetrating a cruel [...]

Or had eyes the size of dinner plates, for that matter?
Snark aside, I'm actually really looking forward to Eternal Sonata. The art aesthetic does veer dangerously close to “cutesy” territory, but the advance buzz is that the gameplay is solid and the story interesting, which are the two biggest parts of any Japanese-style role-playing [...]

Feeling vaguely bloated and cramp-ish this morning. Hardly anything severe (I've had severe cramps before and they suck), but not particularly conducive to a sense of general well-being.
Most folk who know me are aware that I've been on one hormonal contraceptive plan or another pretty much steadily since I was 19 – contraceptive benefits [...]

I really like the pictures from this medieval-reenactment wedding – it looks like the couple involved both did their research and had lots of fun with it. I particularly like the woman's dress – it looks warm and comfortable as well as stunning. One particular bit about the description stuck out, though:

So the Schadenfreude News Network is all over Britney Spears' supposed “comeback” performance at the MTV Video Music Awards – apparently it was fairly obvious that she had no idea what she was doing. Washed-up superstar commentary aside, I've noticed a distinct theme in the descriptions of her performing: her “glassy-eyed stare”, her [...]

Not a whole lot of note has happened since Brian and I returned from PAX. Work is still more or less the same, and Juneau's still Juneau. One side-effect of the trip, though, seems to have been an affirmation of our gamer selves – I've noticed a distinct upswing in the time we've [...]
