Err, well, I’m back in the game, anyway. Shattered Reality was down for a few days due to switching around my server, but it’s back up and running, and with a fresh new look!

Who doesn’t want to be as cool as the guy behind xkcd? In a recent blog post, he decided Ask.com’s viral marketing campaign could use a twist. To help him in his quest, I present to you the following:

THE ALGORITHM CONSTANTLY FINDS JESUS
THE ALGORITHM KILLED JEEVES
THE ALGORITHM IS BANNED IN CHINA
THE ALGORITHM IS FROM JERSEY

Thanks to Amy for the link.

I sat down to write this post four hours ago. It did not get written four hours ago. Instead, I was distracted by the new version of WordPress (v2.2). I went to download it, as I’m sure I’m overdue for an update; but before I installed it, I wanted to get it set up locally to test because I hate updating and having it end up broken. Turns out I haven’t copied this site to my local server yet, so I started doing that. Of course, that had to be problematic, so after a while of putsing around with my WAMP install, I downloaded the EVE-Online 14 day trial and became thoroughly distracted.

I have not played enough of EVE to make a solid review, but I plan to play it some more over the next week or two and really get a feel for the game. I still wish upon wishes that Guild Wars wasn’t so boring; I’ve tried time and again to get into it, but it just lacks any kind of pull (aside from a beautiful world). Star Wars Galaxies had such potential, but they killed that real quick. Asheron’s Call is dwindling away after 7 some years in the industry. I hear Vanguard is pretty good, and that LotRO is worthwhile, too. I actually watched the Grammys with someone who was (is?) working on LotRO; that was really cool. (Oblivion is still fun, but it lacks human interaction being a single player title.)

(My writing felt really forced tonight; I’m out of practice :/)

I did not get the photo pass to shoot Brand New back in March. Maybe that’s why I haven’t updated in nearly two months: my saddened state has left me feeling less that… writer-ish?

Hmm….. life’s good. Stressful parts, as always, but good nonetheless. Well, except for having strep two weeks ago. That was less than good, contradicting my aforementioned “nonetheless.”
