Because who has time to blog when there are mutants to decapitate and robot factories to explore? Probably the best adventure/RPG game ever released on a console. Seriously, I think that’s the reason. Blame Google Bart for telling me how good it was in the first place. bkd

Speaking of places I used to live, the place I used to live, from 2000-04, is for sale: http://www.redfin.com/CA/Mission-Viejo/26292-Los-Viveros-92691/unit-166-A/home/18547846 My old kitchen in all its glory (except that it’s yellow now). Asking price is only $100K less than I sold it for in 2004. Ouch. From the signs on the windows in the photos on [...]

The odd thing about looking at the below list of moves is that it leaves me realizing how many places I *haven’t* lived and makes me feel like I’m probably missing out on a lot of residence-oriented experiences. And that I should maybe try out some more options. 2009 – Moved from Mission Viejo (by [...]

And I’m now really tired of carrying stuff. Big thx out to DLF and DDF/DLF-Prime (whatever she’s going by these days). It was, actually, better than being at work for the last three days. Huh. And as a result of the move $1,150 cash will be falling from the ceiling of my new bedroom every [...]

How am I — how is *anyone* — supposed to trust this guy to be an objective arbiter of good-bad when he lacks the self-awareness to openly address is inadequacies? Plainly, *plainly*, someone who “knows” whether someone has been bad or good during the course of a given year *should* also know what gifts said [...]

I’d put a link in this post to the photos section, but I don’t want your link-hunting skills to atrophy. bkd

Went camping in Death Valley last weekend. Camped for two whole nights — an adult personal best! The lowest point in North America. Yes, that pot hole right there. Pros: The roller coaster roads, featuring many inversions. Taking the Emigrant Road way back to civilization — brilliantly washed out and steep. My new flannel-lined sleeping [...]

I’ve had this dream like three times in the last couple months: I’m on vacation. The vacation’s a week long. It’s day six and I realize I haven’t done anything yet and I start getting panicky about how I can cram enough into the last two days of the vacation to not feel like I [...]

A little unfair in that, in fact, I’m surprised they included so many novels that I don’t think suck. Also unfair in that I’m not sure I can confidently name more than 15-20 novels that, in my mind, don’t suck. And that I haven’t read most of the list. Ah well. I also appreciated Game [...]

Best sporting event ever. Well, not counting the MNF game, which, arguably, *was* the best sporting event ever. That I attended. Although the ’90 BYU-Miami game was pretty amazing also. And the USA-Costa Rica World Cup qualifier. But, yeah. Comparisons are hard. And sporting events are better when the right team wins. Assuming JL ever [...]
