Yoinked from the virtual hands of Headless Hollow, this choose-your-own-adventure is the culmination of a project I’ve been following since it first appeared on A List Apart. Bravo.
I tried (with limited success) to do something similar with my Earthdawn site. I will be updating that site very soon with all new hotness.
In a continuing effort to better myself, I will be attending the Winter Wonderland Workshop in Chicago, my first official training in stage combat since I was in high school. It is my goal to eventually become a certified Fight Director under the Society of American Fight Directors within the next five years.
The next time I can likely be certified would be at a three week conference in July in Las Vegas. While I’d love to do this, the ~$2000 price tag (not including room and board) combined with the necessity of taking so much time away from work is likely to be a bit more than I can manage.
Perhaps I can barter my web skills to offset some of the costs. Wish me luck, if you’re so inclined.
In an earth-shattering fusion of band nerdery and button-mashing glee, some high school kids make their mark.

This shaved-head tattooed guy is standing in front of an ice cream truck; that’s appropriate.

Remember those old middle school games where you would fantasize about what your life would be like? What city you would live in, what car you would drive, how many kids you would have, etc?
Well, I’m not driving a tricked out Ford Aerostar with superhero-like accoutrements. I don’t have the two kids I thought I would; the ones I do have are disappointing to say the least*. The closest I have to a pool and helicopter are a little spot of drool on my pillow in the morning and a broken clock whose hands spin too fast.
But, I was right about one thing: Vancouver is the best place in the world to live. [ via Headless Hollow ]
Don’t believe me? Don’t believe the EIU? Cast your doubting eyes on this bit of knowledge and prepare to eat crow, non-believer!
I wonder if I can claim that as a religious holiday.
* – I don’t actually have kids. Don’t call Social Services on me.
Apparently, Leeroy Jenkins has become an international star akin to Star Wars Kid. I must admit, I still find the video to be hilarious, both due to Leeroy’s spontaneous up-and-at-’em battle cry and to the seriousness expressed just before by Leeroy’s raid-mates.
I sometimes wish my name would make a good battle cry. Maybe my net-name. Steeeeeel Buuuuuddhaaaaaa!
Brian’s was spot on. Mine makes me seem more of a hermit than… wait a minute, I guess that’s fairly accurate. Brian got Power-ups, though! I want a power-up.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
UPDATE: I am a moron.
Czeltic Girl says this is OFN, but these haircut reviews made me chuckle and they should do the same for you. Besides, I need to put up something wholesome to wash the taste out of my mouth from that last post.
And the innuendo just gets worse and worse…
