Month: August 2005

  • What was before came after.

    Here’s something to ponder: If you had your memories removed, then lived a number of years as an essentially new person, then had your previous life’s memories restored, what would that be like? Which set of memories would “come first” when you thought back on your life? Would it be the most recent life, or the most distant life even though you only remembered it after you’d already lived a wholly different life?

    As George Carlin once joked, “These are the thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools.” Heh.

  • Wandering in a daze…

    Today was a bit hazy. Why no, I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep last night. Sleeping away seven hours or so out of the middle of the day sort of screwed with that a bit. This is why I’m going to bed at about 9:30 instead of my usual time of… er… later. Ahem.

    Tomorrow I’ll have something more coherent, and maybe even interesting, to post. Tonight, however, I’m just letting you know I’m still alive. Until tomorrow, then, I bid you good night!

  • Blogathon 2005: The Finish Line

    Blogathon 2005 is over. I made it. So did a bunch of other brave, foolish, wacky souls. Go, us! And now, bed. Good night… or day, whichever you prefer. Don’t nobody go tryin’ to wake me, y’hear?

    I’ll tidy up the ring and webcam code and other stuff… later. Like, Monday later. It’ll keep.

  • Almost there? Really?

    I don’t know about you… okay, I may not even know you… but if you’re anything like me (namely flat out exhausted) you’re looking forward to crossing the Blogathon finish line.

    But hey, I did it. I raised somewhere in the area of $150 (there were at least two “premature donations” that didn’t get sponsorship credit), and I stayed awake long enough to do it. Another half hour and I can go to bed. Luckily, bed is about three feet away. Heh.

    After the finish-line post, you won’t see me again until some time Monday. I’m sure you’ll manage. See ya!

  • CoH Roster: Mute Aunt

    We don’t know if she has much to say, but we know that Mute Aunt is proving effective and useful as a contributing hero in Paragon City. Her mutant abilities are manifested as kinetic powers and radiation blasts, and she’s currently at Security Level 23.


    Here we see her metallic skin…


    …and here, her chitinous skin with insect-style cape.

  • CoH Roster: ProPaine

    ProPaine is a young man who enjoys lighting a fire under evildoers. This Controller is currently only at Security Level 8.


    Big and conspicuous, this costume reads “Danger” to even the most clueless of criminals.
