"new rant here"

Thursday - March 17, 2005

(it seems that many people took serious offense to my slightly irritated 'new rant here' comments from earlier. I apologize if you were offended by it. That wasn't it's purpose, i was just expressing some frustration with people getting on my case about not having updated my rant recently. I'm finding it more and more true that i have to be very careful what i put in my 'rant' space, and careful is something someone drama prone as myself is good at.)

i'll try to write something worthy of this space this weekend.

Oh, as of 3am EST, the forums are still down. It seems that Nayuki has decided that she deserves to curl up in her covers, lock the door and pout. There will be someone working on it tonight, so it might be up by morning.

"Vox populi"

Friday - March 18, 2005

[Dom] - 07:00:00 - [link here]

So as a random, silly thing I want to do, I think I'm going to put out a poll for rant topics for Monday. I have a few ideas I want to poke at, and while I have plenty of time to do them all, they're kind of lengthy. I figure, the weekend is the best time to write these up, and the weekday rants will be about shorter, more random things--and since I have five of them, I want to figure out which I should prioritize. So next Monday, would you like to me to ramble about:

1) My odd fascination with Japanese singers and voice actresses who started out working in hentai games and such, and didn't change their names when making the transition to clean work?

2) My thoughts over the last year of playing MMORPGs, and growing from rank newbie to not-quite-noob?

3) My continuing urge to punch someone in the stomach, for no apparent reason and with no real grudge against anyone?

4) Stories from and thoughts on Greg Dean's wedding, and my continuing transition from being a student to this "real world" thing other people immerse themselves in?

5) Thoughts on sports, including (but not limited to) the current congressional steroid hearings, why I'm not watching March Madness, and my platonic man-crush on Jeff Tedford?

The poll's on the forums--click here to vote.
