Keyword Roundup - August

[News] [Personal] [Site News]

Okay, I'm back from Continuum, which was a pretty decent convention. Lots of fun had by all. On another front, it looks like Lily will be in her own house by this time next week, so there may be some sort of house re-warming or something following that.

Jess has pictures of people from a recent party. If you were at that party, you might want to check them out. Much like vampires, I don't resolve properly on film. Enter at your own peril.

My wonderful StatCounter continues to inform me of the keywords people are using to reach this site. Some of them have quite obviously come to the wrong place, but I'll try to help out as best I can.

"scanner darkly actual epilogue"
Philip K Dick's fantastic novel A Scanner Darkly, recently released as a rotoscoped feature length movie directed by Richard Linklater, is an excellent book that anyone should read. However, it didn't even feature an epilogue of any sort, let alone an "actual epilogue". You may be talking about Phil Dick's rather moving Author's Note, which appears at the end of my edition (buy your own copy - it's still in copyright). Alternatively, if that doesn't do it for you, Dick's last novel Valis forms a very effective coda to A Scanner Darkly, dealing with many of the same themes with the same semi-autobiographical tone.

"dragon drool science wizardry"
This has got to be a reference to the Wizardry game series, right? I hate those things. Can anyone help out? On a related note, apparently Komodo dragons drool like crazy. Also, an old Chinese name for ambergris, lung sien hiang, means "dragon's spittle perfume" and refers to a belief that ambergris was the drool of dragons. (That sounds doubtful, but it make a good anecdote.)

"last alex the kid symbols sequence in miracle world"
Sun, waves, moon, star, sun, moon, waves, fish, star, fish. That annoyed the crap out of me, too.

"yassai mossai mp3"
Sorry, still looking for that one. Let me know if you find it. Yassai mossai! Yassai mossai! Sore sore! Sore sore! Ahem. With any luck my trip to Japan next year will take in Kiserazu province, so that should be awesome.

"super columbine high massacre rpg walkthrough"
Look, if you need a walkthrough for that game then you're taking it way too seriously. Lighten up. *sigh* But if you MUST have the goods, it looks like this page might help.

"gentlemen, to evil"
Indeed.

"lumines shrinking"
No, it's not. Don't worry. If you're bothered by this problem, try to avoid exposing your PSP on cold days.

I hope this has been helpful. Stand by for more awesome content totally not at all cribbed from my stats site in weeks to come!
