Wash with like, colors

It's SUNDAY. The last time I posted wast THURSDAY! Apparently I don't have much that I'm driven to say when nothing's gotten me upset.  Noted. So one of the things I'm in to is Shadowrun . I'm not as into it as I once was, but for a good while it was a major portion of my recreation.  I recently came across an apparently unread copy of " Born to Run " by Stephen Kenson, the first of several books covering Kellan Colt and her Adventures in the Big City.  It was pretty good. This is out of what I think of  as the 'second wave' of Shadowrun novels.  It's got a Wizkids copyright of 2005.  That was 10 years ago.  Also, it was like 10 years after I had my first introduction to the setting.  If you are new to the setting, this book makes a pretty good jumping off point.  The character is new to Seattle, so a number of things that she learns actually turn into a nice primer on the setting for a new reader.  It's pretty light and enjoyable, ...

OMG it's Thursday. I actually have nothing to whine about.  I kinda feel like something's wrong.  I'd be super excited if I was in a different timezone where I'd come home and it was already Patchmas, but I've got to wait a few hours and by then it's too late to really take advantage of it. Instead of complaining, I'll talk about a thing I'm trying to do. Have you ever heard of the Children's Miracle Network ? How about Extra-Life ? Twitch ?  I've signed up with Extra-Life to participate in their fundraising for the Children's Miracle Network and I have a Twitch stream to show my gaming on I guess.  My goal is $200, and regardless of whether I get it ahead of time I'll still be abusing myself for awhile to make a 24 hour stream of me playing something(s).  If you're interested, you can find my Twitch  stream AND my Extra-life page by searching for JayMitsuru or following those last two links.  The Twitch stream will be dead most ...

Another day more crap.  or something. I guess it's possible for a day to pass without anything significant to gripe about, but if at any point you encounter what they call "The News" you'll have something to gripe about regardless of whether or not you really thought you were paying attention. It gets kind of frustrating being in the space in between "Computers have always been a thing" and "We wouldn't even be talking about Hilary's emails if we'd just go back to paper".   At no point in my life (for the parts that I could've used one at least) was I without a computer. I used to joke that when I was born the afterbirth was an RF switch  <vintagecomputing.com>.  Despite that, I don't think I got on the internet for the first time until 1997, and then it was only occasional.  I never used myspace, missed the Napster thing entirely, and I was making and using mixtapes until I bought my first MP3 player in 2003.  Regardles...

This is my first post. My intent is to make myself feel better as a person by expressing feelings and junk. This is the internet. Everyone does it. LiveJournal is so 2002 and Facebook is super cluttered (and results in people asking me if I'm okay and worrying and junk).  I mean, I suppose I could vent to real people in meatspace, but with my lifestyle I don't ever get to the point that I trust anyone I see personally to handle some of my rants (with the obvious exception of my wife, but I feel terrible dumping baggage at her). Anyway, right now I'm sitting here making this post with a belly full of sushi from Oishi Sushi in Doha.  On Tuesdays you can get all you can eat and a large bottle of water for 150 QR.  My office occasionally declares a sushi night and we go out and make pigs of ourselves.  I've been kinda depressed lately and the food at work hasn't be particularly pleasing (plus it's kinda hot) so my portions have been smaller.  After like 30 plate...
