FATTYCAKES

When I first heard about Fat Princess a few months ago I thought it looked like a totally silly game that was probably more of a joke than anything. Then a few feminist blogs freaked out about it, which amused me. Then I forgot about it for a long time. Then it came out, and […]

Quite Contrary

Quite Contrary a short story about Mary Sue

It was pouring, and Mary Sue had just caused another accident. Her second this year. She had been sitting at a red arrow, focusing her attention on her iPod, when someone behind her honked. Misinterpreting the honk as “the light just turned green, so go” she tried […]

The Omegle Files: Batman Edition

It’s a matter of public record that nobody can beat up Batman. But I wondered… is there anyone Batman can’t beat up? To find out, I went to the internet’s #1 source for up-to-date factual information: Omegle.com. Surely the wisdom of randomly selected nameless strangers could help me get to the bottom of […]

Vlog #020 doesn’t exist!

Here’s a product review of the Insignia flip cam I bought: it is a fantastic piece of garbage. It keeps randomly corrupting video that I shoot so it crashes my editing software. I realize you get what you pay for, and I can live with the low-end picture and sound quality, but the thing should […]

Crystalis’s book club: A steamy romance novel.

Among the contents of my mailbox the other day (you know, various […]

I really have no idea what I was going for here.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning with what sounds like a great idea, guaranteed to be entertaining. Today I failed miserably. The idea was: go down the list of all the people I’m following on Twitter, take one word from each post in order, and see if I could make any coherent ideas out […]

Racist cop is racist, impolite.

The more this story develops the more I shake my head in despair.

If you’re allergic to tl;dr the gist of it is that someone saw a black guy in a white neighborhood and freaked out. Turns out the black guy actually lived there, though, and provided identification to that effect… but was arrested anyway […]

The guiltiest pleasure of all.

Alright, alright. It’s time to come clean. The truth is, I’m addicted to lulz.

Which is to say, I can’t get enough of Encyclopedia Dramatica.
