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…)

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).

… 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…)

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.

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!

I got a phone call this morning, and it would appear that the firm in Greensburg I interviewed with a couple weeks ago really wants me to come aboard.  I tried to play it a little coy and told her I’d take a couple days to consider it, but the only thing to really consider is when I’m going to start/where I’m going to live.  Attention Greensburg buds: I am coming back.

This is what I spend most of my time doing lately:

Well, I haven’t posted in quite some time, as per normal, so I suppose it’s time for a state of the BGreman address. (more…)

Shane said that.  Shane cannot sing.  Not if his very life depended on it.  We got Rock Band.  And it is awesome.  I played for about 13 hours today, and my upper arm and thigh are pretty sore, but I’m pretty damn decent at drums.  I managed to unlink my right hand and thigh, and am making some real rhythmic progress.

In other news, I am dirt poor.  Find me a job.
