Back on Tylenol Again!

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 13 April 2011 · 54 views

I thought my brain swelling problem or whatever the heck it is might finally be over, but I've had to go back on Tylenol again the past couple of days. I don't like the idea of living on Tylenol. I wish the problem would go away and stay away. It's hard to stay awake when that stupid head squeezing pressure headache that isn't...

A person with . . .

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 02 April 2011 · 55 views

The PC way to talk now is to say "people with" or "a person with." For example, you're not autistic, you're a person with autism. And you're not an 'aspie,' you're a person with Asperger's Syndrome. Here are more examples:

I don't have post-concussion syndrome, so why am I sleepy?

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 14 March 2011 · 144 views

For at least a week now, I've been tired and sleepy. I can sleep for 6 to 8 hours at night and still want to sleep another 6 or more hours (in a row or in segments throughout the day). I thought the problem might be related to the fall I had in January when I had a slight concussion with the usual temporary...

I finally got to see 3D TV yesterday

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff, TV_and_Movie_Related_Topics 05 March 2011 · 56 views

If you've been to the Ulterior Interior page on my web site, you probably know that I don't see in 3D. The only difference I see when I close one eye is that my field of view isn't as wide. I had glasses that contained 'partial prisms'...

The Stupidity of Shameless (Showtime)

Posted by Random Terrain, in TV_and_Movie_Related_Topics 28 February 2011 · 43 views

The big sister on Shameless cries over her demeaning jobs and acts like the weight of the world is on her shoulders. She seems to think that stealing is perfectly fine, but someone freely giving her money is below contempt. "Don't you dare give me money, but I'll steal it from you when you're not looking" seems to be a...

Plastic wrap was better in the 1970s

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 23 February 2011 · 43 views

According to Wikipedia, there's a good reason why most plastic wrap is completely useless now:

http://en.wikipedia....ki/Plastic_wrap

It was the magical properties of unhealthy PVC that made plastic wrap stick to everything. Plastic wrap was so good back in the 1970s that you could probably rip off a long piece, wrap one end around a tree...

I fell on the ice and got temporary amnesia

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 13 January 2011 · 90 views

I've only seen characters with amnesia on fictional TV shows and movies, but today I got to experience it for real. It took about 30 minutes to start remembering what happened, then I remembered even more within the next hour or two. Below is what happened to me this afternoon. (By the time I got around to finishing this, it was almost 1 in...

The TV show V lost a viewer

Posted by Random Terrain, in TV_and_Movie_Related_Topics 11 January 2011 · 33 views

I missed the first episode of the second season, but I figured it would be on the ABC on-demand channel or on the Internet. Wrong. Doesn't seem to be anywhere. Now the second episode is going to be on, but I'm not watching it before I see the first episode, so screw 'em.

I guess I'll watch the...

Goodbye batari Basic

Posted by Random Terrain, in batari_Basic_(Atari_2600), Personal_Stuff 30 October 2010 · 40 views

"Goodbye batari Basic" is what I seem to say too many times because of distractions, procrastination, and various other things. This time I got pulled away from the game I was working on by a free download of Fable 2 for the Xbox 360, then I had a tooth pulled almost a week ago (25th of October) and the antibiotics are making me...

Probably Losing Internet for a Couple of Months (Time-Warner Won't Make a Deal)

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 19 October 2010 · 77 views

Everything got behind because of the car needing to be fixed. Time-Warner wants $273 by the 26th of October and they won't take half now and half on November 1st. They say it's their 'policy' to turn everything off if they don't have what they're asking for by the 26th. Unless something magical happens, I probably...

Say this to your wife or girlfriend or both

Start slow, then say it faster and faster:

Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files (Can't Tell a Spider Web from a Ghost)

Posted by Random Terrain, in TV_and_Movie_Related_Topics 19 August 2010 · 100 views

The main guy on Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files is supposedly a former FBI agent. If we can use this episode as an example of his powers of observation, I think we might know why he's a former FBI agent. They showed a clip of someone walking in the dark near some trees and...

Change your vibration, change your life (The Law of Attraction)

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 13 August 2010 · 34 views

I keep hearing how The Secret is just rehashed self-help garbage. Same old stuff that only puts money in the pockets of charlatans instead of improving your life or making you rich. Well, if you live in a country like the USA, there's a good chance that you already are rich. Watch...

Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade

Posted by Random Terrain, in TV_and_Movie_Related_Topics 16 June 2010 · 86 views

Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade was on one of the Showtime channels the other day, so I recorded it with my DVR and finally got around to watching it. Parts of it reminded me of something you'd see on Saturday Night Live. It's hard to believe that people could...

My Favorite Firefox Add-ons (2010)

Posted by Random Terrain, in Internet_Related 14 June 2010 · 40 views

I have tried various Firefox add-ons over the years, but the only ones I have kept are these:

NoScript
Only allows scripts to run on web sites that you trust. It also ends up working like an ad blocker most of the time, so...

Getting excited about Dave & Buster's

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 04 June 2010 · 36 views

I've never been to Dave & Buster's and I might end up hating it, but it looks like I might have some fun there:

From where I live, the closest amusement park is Carowinds. I've been there 3 or 4 times over the years and I always feel like I wasted my money, especially since they don't have a...

The Evil of Outside

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 01 June 2010 · 35 views

The evil of outside isn't as bad now, so although I cough a little when I go out, I won't cough up a lung or rip a gaping hole in my throat that might attract werewolves.

I'm starting to feel like I have more energy, so now maybe I can get back to working on the batari Basic page and getting some work done on my stupid...

Me and My Shadow (Peter Pan Records)

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 22 May 2010 · 131 views

I had this record when I was 3 or 4 years old. The record below sounds a little warped or something, but it's still nice that someone posted this old memory at...

Shadow Complex

Posted by Random Terrain, in Xbox 360 05 May 2010 · 34 views

Shadow Complex

After turning all of the question marks on the map to dots, I still didn't have everything. It became clear that I was either gullible for trusting a game map or the people who made the game were cheaters. Why have any question marks on the map if you're not going to have all of...

1600 Microsoft Points!

1600 Microsoft Points!

I got a 1600 Microsoft Points card as a semi-late birthday present tonight. Now I'll be able to get Shadow Complex or something else that might be good.


Update:
