The Gentlemens’ Haberdashery

I keep mentioning a list of things I was going to buy after I finally got myself out of my credit card money hole.  I figured I’d put it somewhere, especially now that all my money isn’t earmarked for something in particular. (more…)

Yeah, I’m doing this.

The (bucket) list:

-My house

-Megan’s House

-The Moon (it will never happen)

-Canada (he’ll claim he has but he hasn’t)

-The shower (I watched him go a whole summer shower free but scat filled)

-A bistro (this one could be wrong, I’ll be honest)

-Two bistros (Feeling confident on this one though)

-Two bistros at once  (well, he almost accomplished this by quantum tunneling through two connected Bistros)

-The Rockwall in Trees Gym (Seriously, does he ever work out?)

-His girlfriends house (this one is low, I know.  No pride from this corner)

-Russia (admittedly far away)

Annnnd that’s it for now.  Hopefully by the end of this weekend he can cross some of those off.

So I bought a car. I mean, it’s kind of a car. (more…)

I haven’t posted an update in a while, so here is this.  I know some of you complain that you don’t know enough about what’s happening in my life (read:  one of you complains that you don’t know enough about what’s happening in my life), so here’s a (fairly) thorough update (parenthetical statement).

(more…)

I saw Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist today.  This is convenient, because now when people ask me what kind of girls I’m into, I have a single example to which to refer them.  The Norah character is basically awesome and it is sad that she isn’t a real person.  I am okay with the level of patheticness pining after a fictional woman brings me.

… is sitting around me as I speak. I can itemize it, if you’d like. If you don’t like, you can get bent. (more…)

Every six months seems to be a good span for these things, eh? Anyway, self-imposed internet deadlines are ridiculous. Here are more short movie reviews that no one cares about. Christ, the movies from this update I watched more than a year ago. For reference, including these ones, there are 217 movies on the list. (more…)

So some of you might notice that when I am away on AIM, it often says HC, or hc, or Harvard Calls.  It might be perplexing, but the most astute of you will realize that this tends to coincide with when I sleep.  The basic gist is this:  When I was a freshman, I was taking a nap.  During my nap, I had a dream where my phone kept ringing.  In my dream, I answered it, and it turned out to be the “Harvard Collegiate Dictionary”, asking me about something or the other.  It turned out my phone really was ringing, and I eventually woke up and answered it.  Long story short, the concept of the Harvard dictionary calling me became the impetus for “Harvard Calls”, my code phrase for “I am sleeping.”  So now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Teaching myself html through an amazing tutorial at www.echoecho.com.  Definitely worth checking out if you had any desire to learn html, javascript, css, flash, etc.  The tutorials are relevant, easily approachable, and come self equipped with quizzes that, while you may feel silly taking, help cement what you are reading.  Please though, for gods sake, don’t take my page as an example of what comes from reading their site.  What I am doing right now is splashing up each new lesson at some place on my site to make sure I know how to do it.  I would never suggest taking it as an example.

More to come.

Some of you might know that for the past dozen months or so, I’ve been working on-and-off on an amateur computer game. You can read about it on its new page right here at TGH.  In general, I’ve been far more interested in doing stuff with this recently, so I’ve gotten quite a bit of the underlying architecture done.  Still very little visible content, but all the background stuff is falling into place.  Soon you might even be able to target another ship!  And maybe shoot at it!
