...without ever losing its roots. Get it?

I'd facepalm if this didn't seem so much like something I'd say out loud. Personally, I find wordplay hilarious, so kudos!

Reading through TV Tropes, and came across the Robespierre page (from Rasputin...which is from Hellboy...which is from Those Wacky Nazis.  I love the internet).

So reading through the Robbie (yes, I have nicknames for the French Revolution leaders.  I am a sad, sad individual ) tropes I discovered that one of them is Draco In Leather Pants.  That made my day.

Somehow I also came across Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu during this mad search through the internet.  So my tabs are currently The Blues Brothers, Robbie, the ever-lovely H.P. Lovecraft, The Thermidor, and Draco In Leather Pants.

The French Revolution + Lovecraft + Harry Potter = happy Saj.  Also = majorly geeky Saj.  But since this is a website solely dedicated to video games...I think I'm in pretty good company.  ^^

Haruhi Suzumiya vs Doctor Who? No, seriously, check near the end of that video! I knew Haruhi was chasing after Time Travelers and Aliens, but I never imagined her to seek out any fellow named "John Smith". LOL

I tried to light one of those candles that isn't a candle. Then I got laughed at. I think out there somewhere is a flameless candle CEO who is very pleased.

Oooh, and remember those birthday candles that you couldn't blow out?

[Lord J Esq]

Those darn things had my number!

[Thought]

I didn't know you had your very own number. That's pretty cool.

[Lord J Esq]

Howls yeah, it is! And that number is...seven!

[Thought]

Seven? Huh, I totally had you pinned as an eight sort of guy. It is so much more... sinistralian.

Off to my left, between me and my mocha coffee drink, is a candle. It's one of those fake candles that I tried to light the other day. With the way my mind works, knowing as it does that the coffee is in that direction, but with the candle being closer, I keep wanting to drink the candle.

This candle is really getting the best of me this week...! =D

Reading Jack Belden's work.
I must thank the translater of the book and the guy who made the html page. I rarely read books since I devote too much time in the computer world.
 
I'm currently learning blender, and this looks like a good book for beginners: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro

8 Manliest Movie Posters Ever. Proof that India's got badass artists.

Man, that's ingenious (besides the lack of toilets)! O_O

I was recently reading a news article in which I saw a photograph of the German leader speaking to the Chinese leader, who was wearing translation headphones. The thought crossed my mind, "I wonder if they both speak English." It is, after all, the lingua franca. Therein lies my amusement. "Lingua franca" is a Latin phrase which literally refers to the French language but nowadays is understood to stand for English, by which the Germans can talk to the Chinese about the Koreans.

O, Tower of Babel!
