Gahh! No time for any real content. Two tests next week, the game design bug has bitten me hard, now I have work, and oh my god oh my god oh my god.

In semi-real news, celebreality on VH1 blows donkey balls. “Real Chance of Love?” Gross.

In REAL news, I’m an early voter. McCain? Obama? Nope! Libertarian party, suckas!

LATE

A00ll but one of comic links on the left there are blocked at work. That’s my rotation they’re messing with! It’s only a matter of time until The Abominable Charles Christopher gets the axe and worse yet, this very site! There is a way of submitting a ticket to the appropriate people, but that just opens a can of worms I’m not willing to deal with.

The cool thing is, even if I can’t post directly, I can still email the posts in. Wait, can I? The dimly-lit corners of my brain tend to think this is the case. Fortunately, I have people on the outside to slip me contraband and what not through other cracks.

But the specific blocks aren’t really what bother me. YouTube’s block is on-again off-again, and I can understand blocking that website, I really can. If you want to save on bandwidth, boom. Cut streaming media. For awhile, some parts of Slashdot were blocked, but I think that was a case of someone not really understanding what it was.  Webcomics? That I don’t really get. I imagine one complaint would be “someone may find it objectionable.” So? I’m the one viewing it not you (them/they/etc), and it’s not pornography. Sigh. I guess I just never “got” the whole political correctness movement, or maybe I outright reject it in its current form.

Oh snap! Have you seen it!?

Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 (click for Hasbro Product page)

This Nerf gun is chain-fed.  This is all you or I need to know. MSRP $42.99.

I’ve got a modified Maverick (so the chamber pops free and the lock fully disengages) and I love it. I also have a virgin Longshot which is great too. I’d love to open it up and swap the spring out and modify the pressure canister for higher output. I wonder what could be done with this beauty of a device.

Expect me to disappear for a while…

Would you like to play a game?

Starting about November of last year, I got this painful, itchy rash on the knuckles of my hands. I blamed the new dry and cold weather for it, and left it at that. I would put cream on them every now and then, and that seemed to help a little, but it was still there.

After much nagging from Ame, I went to a dermatologist last month to get my hands looked at. As it turns out, I have these markers in my DNA that express themselves as a rash when I get too much stress. Eczema. Woo.

Oh hey, and guess what started in November? My new job. Training started late October, so I’ve officially been at this new job for a year, and this is the cause of my newly expressed eczema. I guess this skin condition really speaks to how much this job stresses me out.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I got this eczema from my dad. Besides this itchy, painful rash, I’ve always had a very mild strange skin thing on my arms and legs. It doesn’t cause any discomfort in the least, it’s just a little weird. My dad also has this stuff in the same spots on his body. Also, when I was growing up, I had strep throat infections a lot. One of the extra bonuses to having the markers for eczema is if you catch strep throat, there is a small chance of expressing a form of psoriasis. It didn’t happen every time, but again, I did catch that damn bug an awful lot as a kid, and those damned white dots appeared every now and then.

Thanks for the skin, Dad.
