this is supposed to be the future
I’ll save everyone some time and say that the acronym for the agency in the alt-text is DRMAICABWTNT, which means nothing. In hindsight I’m very disappointed that I didn’t come up with something better. How would the department tasked with creating clever acronyms not have one for its own name? [November 14, 2011]
purchasing items out of sympathy for the business is weird, though
See? I was into complaining about “first-world problems” before it was fashionable. #horntoot #firstwordproblems #whyamIaddingtags #thisisnottwitter [November 14, 2011]
hmph
my fish was 50% of the entire haul
it’s possible that this message was not from the Michael Jackson I am thinking of?
I’ll get a double-cheese-McRegret, please
sometimes I say "forget this" and hire joss whedon to ghostwrite
it helps if you mutter about how terrible the game is, too
Doom and Doom II are classics, but Doom3 I just can’t get into. This comic marks the last time I seriously tried. As a result of the approach I describe in the comic, I went from pretending to be annoyed to actually annoyed and stopped having any fun altogether. Also, the weapons feel wimpy. Bleh.

why do I have to be so cutting-edge and experimental
Sometimes I write about my trials and travails with putting things up on the walls, because I’ve come to realize that doing so is actually fairly important to me. It’s the way I make a space “mine”. Some people move into a new house and need to re-paint, or change the flooring or get new furniture or whatever. I put up pictures and posters.
On the other hand, when I go to places where the occupants have gone for a more “clean” or “minimal” look on the walls I just can’t help but feel that the place isn’t as comfortable or home-y as I’d like. It makes the the occupation of that place feel temporary, like visiting a friend without taking off your jacket. [November 14, 2011]
