A few minutes ago I shed a tear. Two in fact. Tears of joy. I honestly cannot recall the last time that happened. Was it something wonderful I ate? Or maybe I cried when laughing with a friend? The first draft of my novel is finished. 124 873 words. I can finally play Battlefield 3 … Continue reading Finished
As most of you have noticed there a "Live" section of this website where you can see a direct stream from my webcam. A lot of people message me on facebook saying it's always offline and if it, on rare occasions, is online it's just an empty chair. The truth is - I'm invisible. When … Continue reading Questions about the Live stream
Today I received a Japanese cover sleeve for the PS3 (and 360) game Dark Souls. It is signed by Hidetaki Miyazaki who is the direction of the game. Happy times! Hidetaki Miyazaki's signature from the bottom right corner. Full Japanese cover of the game. Picture from inside the sleeve. - F … Continue reading Signed Dark Souls Sleeve
There is a reason I haven't published anything for a few days. Namely because it was my birthday yesterday and I spent the whole weekend celebrating (and recovering)! All of yesterday was spent answering over a hundred calls, texts, and various messages. Never realized getting older took so much effort! So now I'm back in … Continue reading Happy Birthday to me!
So, it finally happened. I have written over 400 pages. Even though it feels like a momentous achievement there is more to be done! Four more major events need to happen so it might, unfortunately, be up to another 100 pages before I call the first draft complete. That would bring me back to 80% … Continue reading 99% Complete
The iPhone 4S has been announced and so far the internet community is enraged. Well, not me, of course. I am a bit disappointed with the hardware specs but the iPhone was never known for that to begin with. No Apple products are. They are know for their software. Since the old iPhones can upgrade … Continue reading iPhone 4S, Siri, and Denise
As you all know - I love food. I worship it religiously and sometimes find it more seducing than a woman's body. At times I can spend a day just eating. Literally. Today I had lunch with my sister. This is what I ate: Next time I go there I'll make sure to finish at … Continue reading Food – Oh, what sweet seductions you possess!
Just came across this clip on Youtube and felt I had to share it. From the description of the video: The left clip is a segment of the movie that the subject viewed while in the magnet. The right clip shows the reconstruction of this movie from brain activity measured using fMRI. The reconstruction was obtained using … Continue reading Amazing mind-read technology!
After reading this post on the blog Chasing Moonlight I decided to post some (two) pictures of my workspace! And the heart of it all! My computer. It's brand new (and so is the screen and mouse). Was sooo close to getting an iMac but decided on building my own machine instead. Next computer will, without … Continue reading My Workspace!
I wanted to publish a post about Mass Effect 2 today but since that would make five non-literature posts in a row I decided to give you a brief update instead. The work on Project 2, my debut novel, is going really well. Though I am afraid I will go beyond the 400 page limited … Continue reading Project 2 update!
