In my last blog entry, I had a picture in it. While addressing the comment about not getting the joke, it occurred to me that I could make a whole entry out of the response. So this entry's dedicated to you, Slota, for the inspiration... and to explain things.
"Mask or No Mask" is a reference to the British show "Deal or No Deal." While I've never seen that version, the show was imported to the US, where Howie Mandel currently hosts it. (That's his headshot in the lower right corner.)

As you may or may not recall, I had a mysterious plan for Monday; unfortunately, I've been sick since Sunday night.
Anyway, for those that have noticed (and for those that happened), I have not been taking RPG requests for the past several months. But I have decided to start taking them again. However, official topics are a different matter, as I feel they are not often needed just because they are requested.
Here's the deal. First, make sure there isn't another RPG too similar to the o
Is that obvious? Yes and no.
So you know those grocery bags you take home from the store (or any bag from most any store, for that matter)? No. Well, go shop somewhere while I talk to the people that know what I'm saying.
Anyway, those bags aren't just for holding stuff: they also double as nearly free advertising for the store you took the bag from. Think about it. What's on the outside of the bag? The store's logo.
This tells other people, "Hey, I shopped at Store X." (Store X's being
I'm such an evil Halo player.
First off, I should mention that I don't even know how to measure aggressiveness in terms of Halo 3, so I don't have a clue why anyone would say that about me. (Could someone explain how that works with Halo?) Yes, I know it applies to Xbox 360 games overall, but I haven't played any other online games since I started playing Halo 3, and that was when it changed. Maybe it was a bad match or matches for whomever reported that one, but I seriously don't know.
So for US Independence Day, I didn't see the live space shuttle launch. However, I did see Superman Returns, and it had a scene near the beginning with a space shuttle... does that count?
Anyway, that's not what I'm writing about: I'm talking about the movie. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. Most of the movie felt if it was building to this great moment that never actually happened; there was too much filler, if you will. Now I understand there's supposed to be another movie o
I finally finished all my MOCs for Brickfest, and I have decided to reveal each of them one by one each day leading up to Brickfest. (If I miss any days, expect that number of MOCs to keep up to date.) Until the time comes, just know that since there are fewer than two weeks until the event, that means there are fewer MOCs than the number of days left until the event. For those who don't know, that means there are fewer than fourteen MOCs. I won't say how many there are just yet, but when I sta
Disappear from some place for a while, and you'll have no idea what's going on when you get back. I still like to visit every now and then, but my life keeps me tired/somewhat busy, and while I enjoyed BZPower, visiting after a long absence just isn't the same as when I was more fully active with the site. My life's just not the same as it was five years ago (or even two). I work overnight in a check processing center (have been there for over a year), and I'm starting a new position at the begi
Oh, this has been such a terrible weekend, and the "festivities" aren't over yet. Our microwave fan is going out; our oven doesn't ov(?), and family computers have been wanting to not connect to the Internet.
I liked that microwave: it's lasted thirty-some odd years: I think it was a wedding gift for my parents or something like that. (That's what real technology is. Take that modern technology!) For the past several years, it's been pushing itself anyway: there were times when it just needed
So I've been asked why I use the particular sign-off I do? So I'll just take this time to explain... because I can.
Well, the copyright means the post or whatever belongs to me. If you don't know about copyright, look it up: I'm not a dictionary or legal expert. I just know what I know, and that's the truth.
As is customary, the copyright year(s) will follow after the copyright symbol. If you haven't figured it out, 1984-2006 is how long I've been around; in other words, it's how long I've
Today, my dad turns 60. We did the real celebrating on Saturday with a surprise party, which was so much fun (party was okay, but surprising him was fun). I got to see family members that I don't get to see or talk to often, and a good time was had by all... except for that slide show snafu.
Today's "festivities" are pretty much just a family thing, but I don't hate doing things with just my immediate family.
Speaking of my family, we celebrate some milestone-esque years: dad turns 60,
