    Fish n’ Chips

    Breaded lies in baskets, surrounded by salty, starchy intestine-cloggers. As the fancy Brit refers to it, “fish ‘n chips”, or, to the Americans, “fish ‘n chips”. These are some things I hate. Others are cauliflower, electric scooters backing up road traffic, and British boy bands. I also dislike being blamed for other people’s problems. It’s…

    Better

    As you increase a skill, others may fall to be wayside, especially if most of your time and energy is spent on learning the new one.

    Something Rotten

    In case you haven’t noticed how disappointing my posts are compared to their delicious titles, my style of writing currently requires no forethought or planning, and involves me thinking of the first cool phrase, jotting it down, and then summoning the rest of the post forcefully and with little heed to actual writing techniques.

    The Inquest

    He stood apart from the rest. Tall, handsome, and yet- there was something unlikeable. Something which, on the surface, may have seemed harmless and benevolent, but deep down, in the darkness and silence, was truly sinister.  No one ever invited Fat Wally to the Pies Or Poodles? Canine Grooming Competition again.

    Uncanny Valley

    If you look hard enough, work hard enough, dream enough, live enough– you’ll probably be taken advantage of. The roughest people don’t have the same fears as the coziest. I’ll  most likely die before humanity finally faces its own inequality issues and actually decides to deal with them. Don’t count out the down-and-outs; they come back swinging. My father…

    Why You Should Use a Password Manager

    As the Internet gets more complicated, and reports of illegal database hacks become more prevalent, stronger and increasingly complicated passwords are no longer unnecessary. Through some simple social engineering or more advanced network cracking, clever trolls or criminals could gain access to your entire digital life, trash your precious photo or document libraries, and hold…

    My Friend, The Tyrant

    Who’s the worst person you know? Besides you, of course. It’s most likely someone in power, an authority figure in your life. Chances are you feel they’re incompetent in their job, interact poorly with others, or behave towards you in a demeaning and disparaging way.

    Almost Ready

    I’m almost done with the new site theme. It’s been a wild few weeks of Googling, learning blips and blorps of PHP and WordPress, getting real familiar with “The Loop”, and basically trying to make sure my code is functional first, and beautiful after. I’ll show you a preview! I like it very much, and am looking forward to…

    Leap

    As someone who knows someone with a Leap Year birthday, I understand the daily struggle…nay, the bi-daily struggle, that arises from such a difficult life. When your baby brother, who is two years younger than you, celebrates his 38th birthday, while you are only on your 9th, it becomes a struggle for sanity, for peace. To…
