Thought I’d take a little break from the self-focused opines and blatherings to do something a little more fun. So on that note, I present my selections for the top ten sci-fi bands. Feel free to add your own or share your list! 10. Daft Punk – While their music isn’t all specifically sci-fi, their »
A lot of people have fond memories of their childhood, and spend a lot of their adult life trying to recapture their youth; attempting to regress back to the time where someone else fixed all of their problems and they could just play, avoid dealing with things, and not have to worry about a thing. »
I can’t sleep. Why? Because I’m paranoid. Paranoia isn’t healthy. Paranoia erodes (this would make a great band name). But after traumatic events, your brain cannot always process information normally or rationally, so when it sees/hears/thinks something that ordinarily would be processed/filtered in a rational way, it may respond and react in totally abnormal ways, »
One of my biggest pet peeves is being insulted and/or having lies spread about me. It’s immature, it’s unproductive, and it is one of the sneakiest ways to bully and abuse someone there is. Demeaning names aren’t cute or funny, but what’s more amazing is how people respond when you tell them you don’t want »
I’m overwhelmed by all of the support and encouragement I’ve gotten since posting about my experiences yesterday. It means so much to me, and really does help. Typically I deal with things by getting into some sort of non-human mode, where I shut off my emotions and feelings and put on the ‘stiff upper lip,’ »

Well, admittedly it’s not my usual MO. I’m a very private and contained person usually and put on masks to blend in with others and hide »
A lot has been said about the ongoing ‘war’ between Apple and Adobe (with Apple refusing Adobe’s Flash player on its mobile devices). Emotions run high, words like ‘open’ are flung about like monkey poo, and everyone seems to be able to spout an opinion on it, so… me too. First of all, I think »
Is our future society doomed because of our increased inability to see beyond ourselves? »
So, we’ve ended the naughts and moved on to the respectable and grown-up sounding double digits. We’re now in the age of space colonies and hovercars, aliens hanging about*, and underwater cities, and we’d better enjoy them since we’re all dying in two years… Or maybe that’s just the imaginings of modern-day sci-fi, where everything »
So, 2009. Quite a year. It began in a state of flux; I was laid off of my job in late January, found out that the state of Virginia was messing up my credit by making up liens I never owed (this still has not really been resolved; they marked them as ‘Paid’ rather than removing them), my HOA alleged I owed them money for violations that were fixed years »
