Macklemore
When I first found Dir en grey, I came to the realization that the technique of art really doesn’t matter as long as it’s done well. As much as people deride rap and hip-hop for not being music, I realized that I just probably hadn’t heard any particularly -good- hip-hop or rap. Well, now I can say that I have, because Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is seriously amazing.

An interesting revelation
So, throughout almost the entire break, I’ve been struggling to put down my thoughts on Mass Effect 3 (yeah, this blog is kinda getting flooded with Mass Effect, isn’t it). I’d rocketed past the 1,700 word mark and I still didn’t feel like I had written anything that was worth reading. I kept going back, finding more that I wanted to say, adding in more little moments...

Mass Effect (spoilers)
Procrastinating and thought I should just post this, as its been sitting in my drafts for ages. Probably should study some more stat…
My stomach felt like it was shriveling up into a tiny pit, a Singularity charge that pulled all my feelings of guilt into one, unbearable point. As I watched the Normandy fly off, I knew the expanding mushroom cloud behind the ship included the atomized...

Rant that I just need to get out
Well, it looks like I failed at the daily writing thing again… But that aside, I just need to get this damn weight off of my chest, probably at the expense of sounding like some whiny emo kid going ‘bawwww my parents don’t understand me.’
My parents don’t understand why I’m spending so much time on DnD, while at the same time telling me I never finish anything...

Cracks
There was something strange happening to the ground around you. Bits of land seemed to be shifting, suddenly and unpredictably, before reverting to normal position. You noticed the rocks and trees seemingly phasing through the ground at points, which is extremely unsettling, as you are rather used to solid objects acting as such. While you can’t quite put a finger on what it is, this is...
NPC: The Doctor
Doctor slumped over the keyboard of his computer. How long had it been since he had more than one or two hours of sleep? Rubbing his bleary eyes, he squinted, trying to refocus the lines of code covering his screen into some semblance of order.
Usually, a ~ATH program should be simple and short, but this was a special case. Hundreds… thousands… millions of lines swam into view. ...
NPC: The Badger Lord
Silence reigned in the hall of the Lord of the land; save for the crackling of the torches throwing relief onto the soot-stained walls, the packed chamber didn’t make a sound. The Badger Lord paced at the head of the room. Deep in thought, he turned from his subjects to face the tapestries hanging on the wall behind him. The five symbols of the Heroes of legend positively shone as the only...
Time to finally christen this mess...
So, I’ve had this blog name for a few months now I think? I intended it to be a place were I could just practice writing, so I could grind that axe, or at least keep it relatively sharp. That idea kinda died after, oh, about 30 minutes of creating a tumblr. But I think I’ll take it up again, for the sake of something more constructive to do with my time. I’ll post something...
