(Alternate title: "NERD.") Yeah. That's me. Inconsistencies in fiction bug me, and while I am much less anal about planning things out than I used to be, I was just thoroughly confused about the location of the Citadel World Negev. (Or, depending on your time frame, the failing Israeli colony Negev.) Still anal enough to do this, though: Yay for writing scifi, a grown up's excuse to play "Let's...

[10:43] Ryn Valyn: cnn.com: "How are you honoring Michael Jackson today?" [10:43] BadgerSensei: By playing Civ 4 and waging an aggressive (and successful) campaign to annihilate the Aztecs early on. [10:44] Ryn Valyn: *sniff* I'm sure... I'm sure he would have liked that. [10:44] BadgerSensei: It's a well known fact that the Aztecs hated Michael Jackson. [10:44] BadgerSensei: Pop music was against...

Welp. Feel okay. Very okay. As long as someone leaves me be, I should remain okay. I feel more strongly now that it was the right thing to do. The Boredom, however, is sinking in. The Boredom is one of two invasive moods that hit when I am newly single. (The other involves my hormones goin' nuts, and I'll leave it at that.) I'm suddenly hit with this huge reservoir of time that I didn't have before...

(Coworker throws a bottle at trash can and misses. Josh picks it up and throws it out.) Coworker A: I think Josh got an assist. Er, no, Josh got the points and I got the assist. Coworker B: Yeah, Josh got the points. Josh: o.O Coworker B: You did a good thing. That's all you need to know.

....When girls would break up with me, instead of the other way around. Broke up with Sarah. I'd been feelin' for a while that we were connecting on a fundamental level. I couldn't see myself with her forever. So I broke it off. Honorable and the best thing to do for both of us, right? Except I feel like an asshole.

Up to Season 4 in Babylon 5. It's amazing the jump in production value the show gets each season... though it's possible that I might just have gotten used to crappy FX. Either way, the Shadows are actually intimidating, the Vorlons (Well, real-Kosh. Kosh's replacement is definitely a jerk.) are still awesome. Watched To Catch a Thief with Nate and my sis today. I like Hitchcock and I like Cary Grant...

It has been a good many years since I regularly attended church. My roommate randomly suggested that I look for an Anglican church. I find this amusing, for several reasons. The last church I really felt at home in was, of all places, 800 miles away in Fort Walton Beach, FL. It was the church my ex and her family attended. I have been raised in Charismatic churches my whole life. I consider myself...
