Where thoughts go to think.
Been a long time otaku (if you use that word in a nice way), traveled to many exotic places, been shot at in at least two, and have a habit of writing short stories to pass the time.
Hang around a bit, you might find something you like.
For fun and gaming in one, try my Elder Scrolls: Oblivion adventure logs.

I'm usually connected when I'm home.
My life has been quite crazy and stressful these past few weeks that I can safely say that this:
makes perfect sense to me. When all is said and done, I am now moving out of my current place. This move should not be happening, but I can't really control other people so I am now trying to get to a place that is at least somewhat better. Once The move is finished I'll probably have enough concentration to continue with my game log, seeing as I now have a fairly large back log of pics to use. I do need to write some more, not just for the blog but for myself. It is a good outlet for me to just let my mind go. I've been so focused on the problems and the move that I could use a bit of other worldly time to clear the clutter.
I also haven't read as much as I usually do but I have done some:

I want to ride my bicycle
A few days ago I was asked why I didn't have a Facebook account. To which I said, "I know where I am, those who I want to know know where I am. Books are for reading anyway."
Bad joke I know. SO sue me.
Shameless blog plug HERE.
So, I've been collecting many books for this year but I had gotten sidetracked after I found a box of old Manga that I haven't finished or read in a while. So, to start out my current tracking of my book challenge for the year:
Finished:
Manga:
Kamichama Karin 7volumes
Alien Nine 4 Volumes
To Heart 3 Volumes
Kashimashi 5 volumes
Books:
The Currents of Space- Isaac Asimov
The Wavering of Suzumiya Haruhi- Nagaru Tanigawa
Like Stars, Like Dust- Isaac Asimov
The Rosie Project- Graeme Simsion
Still Life- Louise Penny
Currently reading:
Visions or Sugar Plums- Janet Evanovich
Hollow City (Second novel of the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children)- Ransom Riggs
The stand out title is Hollow City. The first Peculiar Childern book was a very unique and fun and unexpected book. The photos and sketches were so bizzar at times and the was the author weaves them into the story is seemless. By the end of the first book, I could easily convince myself that the photos were really of the events in the book.
So if you haven't read the first one, do so. Then read the second and prepare for the third when Riggs finishes it.

Boogiepop doean't smile
So, it's been a while. Been busy with life. Life is always a problem. I so wish there were save points and cheat codes. Then I'd so rock at life.
I finally got the next part of me Adventure log up HERE.
A much more serious one than the last few. I know, serious, how can that be?
Other than that I've gotten off to a decent start for this years book list/challenge.
As with last year I don't really have a goal but I just want to see how many I read. Last year reached 42, the holy geek number.
Before I list me reads so far I'd like to recommend one of them.
The Rosie Project- by Graeme Simsion
The official summary:
"Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a “wonderful” husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical—most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver.
Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent—and on a quest of her own. She is looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with. Don's Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie—and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper."
When my mom recommended it to me, she spoke of how much the main character reminded her of me. Like him, I have Asperger's, though not as deep as him. Much of how he acts and many of his thoughts are very similar to my own. It is probably the best look into the mind and life of someone with Asperger's I've read. My mom has recommended it to a number of people she knows who have family members with the syndrome. And most importantly to my grandmother who is still having trouble understanding what it means to live with Asperger's. I've tried to talk to her in the past about both the difficulties it causes in everyday life and the positives like my intelligence, my ability to learn things quickly, and, for me at least, my creativity.
Apart from that connection, the story is just really fun at times and heart warming at time and blunt(like all things Asperger's are) most of the time. So give it a read if you want something different than your typical man meets woman story.

The year is over and a hell of a lot has happened to me, to many of us. I tend not to make resolutions since, well, the future is too unknown to hold to a frivolous promise that may or may not be possible.
Call me a pessimist, cause I so am, but that's just my take.
All the same, I do hope all y'all have a good year.
