Oh, Assassin's Creed...
I just finished AC: Revelations. Enjoyable overall, I guess. Definitely pretty.
I feel like continuing to the next game is an obligation, rather than something I really want to do. I can’t quite articulate why. Maybe playing the three huge games within relatively quick succession has made me jaded to what makes the series compelling… which I may have lost sight of. I guess I should...

WonderCon was fairly chill and a lot of fun. Got a picture with the kind and beautiful face model of Samara/Morinth (will post next) in my Shepard costume and she signed my Mass Effect art book, watched some new footage from Pacific Rim (want to see more!), hung out with friends, went to a fairly thoughtful panel on LGBT subtext in popular media, then laughed as the MC of the Masquerade tried to...

Anonymous asked: Just wanted to say, thanks so much for posting the Babylon 5 costume pictures. Amazing to see them so up close. I knew they were detailed, but seeing them like this really brings it home. Wow... I linked to your post over at the JMS News forums. Thanks again, Matt (aka Ubik on JMS News)

frellingaround asked: Yes, I'd really love to see all the photos of the B5 costumes if you could share them! It was a real delight to see the pictures you posted and what a wonderful experience that must've been!

Oh yeah, I definitely want to do a Scary Willow costume, but not sure if I want to do Vampire or Veiny.

The dog days are over… for now. [[MORE]]
On Saturday I returned the dog to his foster mom and I’m glad I did. She was disappointed, but understanding. I, on the other hand, am intensely relieved. It took me a week to finally accurately state how I feel: I’m completely not ready for a dog. I have a new job, live in a new neighborhood, and I’m alone in my own place. I need to establish...
I adopted a dog last Sunday.

While he’s adorable and all, I’m worried I’m not a good fit right now. I live by myself in a one-bedroom apartment, and I work 10-11 hour days, potentially longer as work ramps up. A dog is a pet for a family, with a house and a yard and with kids who will fall in love with ‘em and learn responsibility. If not a family than at least...

I wonder what it’s like to fall in love, and to have that love returned.

Tonight I said goodbye to my brown rat, Kahlua. When I first visited the breeder to pick out a pair of rats, she made herself comfortable in my sleeve. She loved to explore; if I didn’t keep an eye on here when she was out to play, she would always dive into the couch, or to make her way to the mess of cords behind the TV. She will always have a place in my heart and in the hood of my...

I’ve been watching Xena: Warrior Princess on Netflix (never watched it when it was on TV) and I just finished Season 4.
I just have one thing to say…
AND I LOVE IT
I now have internet at my new place!
Today I started the move into my new apartment! I’m still missing most of my furniture and non-essentials (books, DVDs, trinkets, etc), but I have the more important stuff, mainly my bed, work clothes, and kitchen supplies.
The Internet won’t be set up until Wednesday at the earliest, so until then I have my phone and coffee shops. As tired as I am, I’m in a pretty good mood. I...

I’m trying to defeat Robert de Sable’s goons (and then eventually him, I’ve only actually fought him maybe 4 times) but I am just having an awful time with it. I’m getting to the point in frustration and time-wasting where I wonder if it is even worth all the effort or if I should just look up the cutscenes on YouTube…

I went grocery shopping with my mom today for Thanksgiving stuff and right away we encountered a mini-crisis.
The store was out of turkeys. No fresh. No frozen. None at any of the chain’s other local locations. The two butchers loading up the racks with other meat told us like they had told lots of other people (we were surprised they didn’t have any signs), so we were worried this...

I have had an interesting month, and for at least a little while longer it will continue to be interesting.
Due to a series of personal issues with my current job and location (see my ‘Young’s Fucking Modulus’ tag), a few months ago I started seeking other employment. Well, I found it.
I gave my two weeks, which lead to today as the last day. I will start at my new position in...
