You know, I had all kinds of things I was looking forward to talking about, but then, thanks to Malik, I came across a site chock-full o' Matrix Essays, which consumed me pretty much from 3pm-11pm. My brain now hurts. Good Night.

Tradition in the Age of Dance Dance Revolution
Okay, my insides are feeling much better today than they were yesterday. Now I like Dance Dance Revolution as much as the next person, but I think these Bemani (short for Beat Mania, the rhythm-based genre of video games made by Konami) games are getting a little out...
Betrayed by the Buffalo
I had a few things I was planning to mention today, but that was before the Flaming Buffalo's front tire desided to slip off the road, bringing the bike to an instant stop, well bringing the front tire to a stop anyway, and sending the rest of the bike and myself up...

Alley-OOP!
It's been hot as shite here lately, hovering steadily in the 90's, yet with humididty, the "feels like" temp has been in the low 100's. I was in the city for the first time since getting back from Kyoto this weekend, on my way to Canal City to check movie times, when...
