I Have a Girlfriend
So, Annie and I were talking on Skype, like we have a few times a week, every week since Fan Expo over forty days ago, and we were joking around, like we normally do. After some shy flirtations, the discussion of our relationship status came up. One of her close…

New Phone Purchased
I am now the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S3. For those of you that follow this blog, you’ll know that this decision has weighed heavily on me. This afternoon, I walked into Bell at the Rideau Shopping Centre, and was helped by a really nice guy that set me…

Short Stories
I really enjoy writing short stories. It frustrates me to no end that there are stories on this site without an ending. I get a great deal of pride looking at the Dawn of the Decline short story I did for Barry, and I really want to do more of…

Geeky Conventions in 2013?
So, having gone to three geeky events this year, Ottawa ComicCon, Fan Expo Toronto, and Montreal ComicCon, will I be heading back to any of these next year? My experiences at each were very different, but I can say that it will all depend on where I am living. I…

Quick Weight Loss Update
So, I am out of the 280’s in terms of my weight. I’ve been fluctuating all over the 270’s for the last month or so, getting as low as 273 pounds at one point. I am a bit higher than that today, but I’m doing well. My hope is that…

My Phone Died
So my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000m) has taken a lot of abuse, but has died. It won’t boot at all. It won’t even load the battery charging indicator. I tried to push stock firmware to it, and no luck. It is officially dead. I could get Bell to send it…
