A Story by a Nok Ja

This masterpiece was constructed by the Nok Ja poet Vuu ʄOkʘ͡qu and is estimated to have been written sometime within the fifteenth century, Earth Time. It has since been translated into English by J.W. Grabbs and I Ætha. What you see here is the Grabbs version, who opted to roughly translate the language so that it would mach more contemporary terms so that it would be more understandable to contemporary human audiences. There is some controversy over the use of his translation in school books,

The 85th Academy Awards

This is the first year I've ever bothered to watch the Academy Awards Ceremony. Part of this is because I have been following Spielberg's Lincoln for quite some time. I have a great reverence for Spielberg, and to anticipate him doing a biopic of one of the greatest presidents with Daniel Day-Lewis was a worthy wait. Then I saw the advertisements, and I instantly knew that it was going to be a powerhouse performance. I watched the movie, and it was the first time in a while that I have been

What Is Art?

Perhaps art can be partially defined as sentient effort to make any given surroundings more aesthetically pleasing.   Your Honor, Emperor Kraggh

Country Music

I'm not huge into country music, but it's probably from lack of exposure since leaving my farming community. I wouldn't mind moving back someday and getting back into their music, though. In the meantime, my favorite country is easily Johnny Cash, my father's favorite and arguably the greatest legend of the genre, and I like a few other iconic country songs that you've probably heard of even if you're not into country music. Here are a baker's dozen of them. A Boy Named Sue (I've decided to memo

Poster Girl

When I revisited my old hometown college there was a poster up on the walls for a choir group called the Canons. It was a very simple poster with some information and a picture of a very pretty girl on the front (she had short hair, which is an uncommon fashion among girls that I personally find very attractive), except for some reason her wonderful features were covered by a big circle-slash NO sign. That kind of annoyed me and I wondered why it was there, so I read the headline that went wit

5th Most Beautiful Female Character

5 - Becky Conner   I feel ashamed. I just called Darlene my favorite character from Roseanne, and I feel sorry when all the guys ignored her and went after her sister instead, but then go ahead rank said sister higher on the hierarchy of beauty!   However, Becky is the reason why on that fateful night when I turned on the television to Roseanne for the first time I stayed on that channel. The first thing that ran through my head? "She's lovely." It was season three and she had a bowl cut

What if everyone has Asperger's Syndrome?

I had a dream last night that everyone in the world had Asperger's Syndrome. I was sitting down at a table with several of the popular kids back in high school, and the difference was striking. Overall, though, it was almost impossible to imagine this world. I dunno. Hey, I'm not the only person with Asperger's Syndrome on this site. Has anyone else ever wondered about such a hypothetical world?   24601

Immigration and Name Change

If I were a rich man (da ba de ba de ba de ba de ba de ba de ba dum) I would be a sponsor for a few thousand people trying to immigrate to America, although because I'm someone eccentric, there would a a certain condition. Lately, I've been offering several friends to pay for all of the expenses should they legally change their last names to "Skywalker."   So anyway, in the age-old tradition of Americanizing the surnames of immigrants, if I could pay ten thousand people to change their last nam

The LEGO Movie Review

The LEGO Movie turned out to be what I wanted it to be, which is good. The problem is, how to I begin to explain what my hopes for this film were? Well first, I certainly wanted something that felt definitive, something that wasn't just a LEGO movie but The LEGO Movie. It fit the part by having a good story that expertly mixed together a dramatic narrative with plenty of comic relief. And trust me, there was plenty of comic relief. There were so many jokes in this movie I would have to watc

Tbrpg Social Structures

This entry furthers, to some extent, the advice given in this blog entry by Robo.   A Text Based Role Playing Game, often abridged to TBRPGs and RPGs, is a unique "game" where people write about characters who are able to interact with each other. It's basically storytelling through more than one storyteller. Sometimes the storytellers know the direction of their stories, sometimes they don't.   RPGs have all the elements of a community, and like all communities, they often encounter the probl

Vote On My Name Change

Okay, I've never done this before, but the idea came to mind. Basically, I was considering changing my title temporarily to something that doesn't include the term Emperor. I will be making the switch on December 12. Here are the options.   Keep it at "Emperor Kraggh" Kaiser Kraggh President Kraggh Kraggh Der Führer Χρυσός Kraggh Kraggh II Kraggh   Vote away.   Your Honor, Emperor Kraggh

My Ideal World

People will be able to buy AK-47s at drive-thru windows.   Rich people will have access to nuclear missiles.   Work weeks will last for 80 hours with no overtime pay or benefits.   ESTJs will rule the world. ENTPs will be their loyal lackeys, advisers, and courtroom jesters.   Slavery will be reinstated, and it will be implemented on all of the ISFJs and ESFJs. ISFPs and ESFPs won't be enslaved, but will still be second-class citizens like the Irish back in the good ol' 1800's.   The Purge will

Where-wolf!

Fine, fine, I'll just go ahead and skip the rant so you can see the next picture.   2.   WHERE ARE THEY?       . . .WERE ARE THEY?   But wait, there's more...   3.   WHERE'S THE TRIGGER? WHERE IS IT?   Now, a recent announcement was made, oh, a month or so ago, that Goyer and Snyder intend on expanding upon Man of Steel with a Superman vs. Batman kind of sequel, and since this whole expanded DC cinematic uni

The Roommate Connection

This doesn't come as a surprise to me, since I've seen it happen to others and people who have experienced it have told me that you feel as if you've known someone your entire after a few hours of being their roommate, but nevertheless, this is still the first time I have actually experienced it for myself as a reality instead of just an idea.   It's not the same as high school friendships. Heck, what is? The relationships I had in high school were built over the course of eight years, spannin

The Avengers Sucked

The Avengers sucked. Not that it was bad in and of itself, but it's totally not what the hype is making it out to be. Plus, it's not even a superhero film, and all I got was this espionage nonsense. It's only redeeming feature was that it featured Christopher Lee.   Now let's see if if a title like this doesn't catch anyone's attention.   Your Honor, Emperor Kraggh

Ask Kraggh

I'd like to thank Dokuma for the idea and for not putting a copyright on it. For this week's theme, there's really no choice, given the current events stirring at the hearts of the community. This is to be dedicated to BIONICLE.   Your Honor, Emperor Kraggh

Thor: The Dark World

The movie lives up to the trailers, and Loki, thank Odin, is better than ever.   The Dark World solves many of the problems I had with the first movie in the Thor series, which was a thurrough "meh." It also avoids many of the problems in Iron Man 3, in which Tony Stark didn't spend much time as his alter ego and the villain was a disappointment. So what did it get right? The Dark World takes place on an epic scope, spanning many battle locations and featuring a lot of destruction. There was

Understood Friendship Policy

It's a common scenario for many BZPers. Strangers will commonly add you to their friends list, and they don't even explain why, let alone acknowledge you much afterwords, like you'd think that a person wanting to be your friend would. In the end, they are still strangers.   There's a tip in the CoT TBRPG guide that encourages RPG owners to require people to PM character sheets to them before joining. I don't know how, but it's somehow supposed to make it more likely for people to join the RPG

The Kitilik Flag

As the athletes of the 31st Olympiad walk into the stadium bearing their nation's flags, I've thought about the elements of good flags, and my attempts to design good flags according to these principles. I do a lot of worldbuilding, which includes designing flags and other symbols for the cultures of my stories. As far as flags go, this is probably my best. It follows every good design principle.         It's simple enough that a child can draw it from memory, and even get the exact proportions

5G flip phones

I said that I would wait until the next Big Thing before upgrading everything of mine wholesale to the Apple ecosystem. After asking a lot of people at Best Buy, I've decided that the thing I'll wait for will be the eventual 6G network. So basically, it will probably be around 2030 when I upgrade to Apple.   Also, I discovered that while 2G and 3G are being phased out of service in the next year or two, there are some 4G (and inevitably, 5G) flip phones. That's right, my father can still hold

New Math

If I am going to set precedent and post a video on this blog, there is one and only one video on all of Youtube worthy of being the proverbial golden spike.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfCJgC2zezw   One day, I promise, I will write a song stylistically similar to this dedicated to the derivation of the quadratic formula. And I will use it as a love song to flirt with the woman of my dreams.   24601

The Benefits of Self-Expression

Here's a post in response to this entry. I thought it was worth reposting as its own entry. These thoughts are incomplete, by the way, so feel free to add to them.   I think you're just better able to express your thoughts. It doesn't make you a different person: you just find that you have a different way of interacting between environments. I don't see myself as being different people between my blog and my regular life either, just that I've found more than one way of expressing myself
