It's the darnedest thing. - Balinares. Jan 30th, 2012. It's the darnedest thing. The wonkiest thing happened this morning. In lieu of ads at the train station, there were large posters from the European Commission. The contents, paraphrased: "You have RIGHTS. If you trip is turning to nightmare, contact the Commission at this URL or call this toll-free number.". Also, this morning, for the first time ever. The train ran early. Sometimes there are such freaky. EDIT: Ok, guys, you've GOT to check this out.

Meanwhile, November. - Balinares. Nov 7th, 2011. I don't know if I've mentioned it yet, but I'm sitting out NaNoWriMo. It's not so much a decision I made as a foregone conclusion I found myself internalizing over the last few months. Last year already, my participation did not go over smoothly, not without causing minor household drama anyway, and that was with one less baby home. But this year, a tipping point has been passed, and I'm sitting this one out. Mind, it's not a matter of time. This is me try...

EF 17: fuck yeah. - Balinares

EF 17: fuck yeah. - Balinares. Aug 24th, 2011. EF 17: fuck yeah. I've noted this weird thing about EF. For some reason, the even-numbered ones always seem to work better for me than the odd-numbered ones. For instance, take this year: compared to last year, it was only. There are worse fates. :). We're talking of a sci-fi techno thriller played live with puppets. And they made it work. Kudos for the new puppet designs, and the balls to drop long established and well-loved characters. Even my own roommate.

Black, Blacker, Blackest... - Balinares

Black, Blacker, Blackest. - Balinares. Dec 6th, 2011. Black, Blacker, Blackest. Train station bookstores generally come with very low expectations. Pick up a cheap paperback, stay vaguely entertained during your two hour ride, forget about it almost right afterward. So though the back cover blurb was somewhat intriguing, it wasn't with great expectations that I picked up this novel, 'Dragonsdawn', while waiting for a train a good decade and a half ago. What's not to love. A tight group of friends soon em...

On a more light-hearted note. - Balinares. Oct 14th, 2011. On a more light-hearted note. As to why the weekend that came before the Week of Suck was awesome:. It was even larger and creamier than it looks. And the venue was a giant ball pit. With a giant screen so we could play some pony and throw balls at the bad guys. I'm not even kidding. I guess the following week was sort of allowed to suck a little, to even things out, even though it clearly pushed the boundaries. October 14th, 2011 05:52 am (UTC).
