Yet another WoW-related post

kelly | December 12, 2005

so i piqued hans’ and ryan’s curiosity enough that they picked up trial passes as well. i grabbed another trial to play along (cuz the full version won’t arrive until 12/22 at the earliest). to play together as newbies, we started out in the dwarf/gnome area. we logged 4+ hours in a [...]

seriously

kelly | December 11, 2005

i think scott adams has my office bugged, or maybe one of my cohorts in california. the first 1/2 of this comic has been my life over the past 3-4 weeks, only it ends with “yeah, well, suck it up.”
seriously, we’re supposed to be done by now, and the client is insisting we [...]

look what i found!

(a brief conversation had during a trivial pursuit game. the question in question was something like “name the Clinton cabinet member who something something’d…”)
“what was that scary looking woman’s name?”
“which woman?”
“you know. the scary looking one.”
“…you mean the one that looked like a man?”
“yes!”
“um…janet reno.”
“yes! that one!”

november: a month in review

kelly | December 1, 2005

well, nanowrimo was not the success i had wanted it to be. i realized early on that the level of commitment necessary to actually pull off 50k words in 30 days was not something i could deliver on. it means 2-3 hours per day of serious writing, with larger sessions on the weekends. [...]
