Look what you’ve all done to Steam. Look at it!

This is what happens when the hottest titles on Steam go on sale for ridiculous prices. Hell, even the ones you’ve never heard of. “What is this “The Pipe?” Adventure game…looks European. A little odd. How much is it? $1.24? Shit, sold!”

Well, actually I was lulled into complacence by cracked.com. Here I had all kinds of thoughts on a stupid ad I saw at a bus bench, but no, I’ve just spent two hours reading top 10 lists about badass presidents and insane laws and manly names and guilty pleasures.

Shit. Oh well, it’s coming soon anyway!

For the first time in a month, I don’t have any homework to do. After falling behind by a week due to E. Coli and missing the first day of class before that, I’ve been catching up since then, particularly since one of my classes ended up with two due dates per week, one of which I missed of course last week, but it wasn’t enough to really hurt my grade.

Now I have nothing to do. My papers are done and the upcoming homework for the week isn’t posted. Since I’ve got two more classes starting next week every instinct I have is telling me I have homework to do, something is due now, something must be done. They’re wrong. Nothing.

I don’t know how to feel about that, just that I now feel restless.

This post brought to you by Spider-Man:Reign. If you haven’t read it, don’t. Just know Mary Jane dies of cancer. From Peter’s radioactive semen.

Really.

Spider-jizz, Spider-jizz,

Radioactive Spider-jizz!

Is it green? I don’t know.

But I hear in the dark it glows!

Look out!

Here comes the Spider-jizz!

I need to be less polychronic for once. Waking up from noon to 2 pm makes it hard to remember to do a post here in what seems to be a relatively early point in my day.

Five geek social fallacies. Read ‘em, learn ‘em, avoid ‘em. I’ve seen more good groups utterly collapse because of these five social myths so many of us fall victim to.

It’s a Steam sale again, and just like the January sale this one is utter madness. One day sales, deep discounts, and all the best games for bottom barrel prices. Telltale Complete packs for $50, THQ complete packs for the same, 33% off anything Ubisoft.

Say goodbye to your money.

Phoenix summer is a special kind of hot. Yes, it’s a dry heat. No, it doesn’t make a difference at 110 degrees with the sun beating down on you due to lack of cloud cover. I have all kinds of things I need to do, and any other point in the year or most other places on Earth, I could do them all in a day.

But Phoenix heat is that special kind where once you go to the bank, or refill a CO2 cylinder, or visit Target, you’re done for a few hours. It’s already too god damn hot to do anything after 30 minutes of exposure, particularly when your car is a solid 130 degrees when you get in, and the ignition can cause a first or second degree burn.

I think it’s time to bring old fashioned driving gloves back in style, at least for a few months. We’ll cut the “can’t hold onto the wheel, ow ow ow ow” wrecks by half, and I wouldn’t have to spend quite as much time in the house.

when u said patience is required exactly how much do u waite 4 the install?

I’m pretty sure it speaks for itself.

One of my classes, a health and wellness class, just had me take a general wellness/health/esteem inventory.

I failed, and I’m sad now. I think the point of the test was to reinforce feeling good or to point out how I can feel better, but instead it just gave me sarcasm. “Are you really trying?”

To be fair, I’m not sure this is the best test. Mandatory religion, assuming I both have a job and it’s not one I picked out of desperation, and way too much focus on self-esteem. But I failed, and the self-esteem score is probably lower as a result of harsh external judgment.
