    Your opinion on Ukraine

    I found this video about a year ago. (It is more accurate than Winter on Fire that neglects the role of the far-right on the Maidan.) I wasn't paying much attention when the events of the Euromaidan were going on. I was using Genesect, lol. But I looked at the Maidan and subsequent events...

    Most nerdy things you have done?

    Except play competitive Pokemon or the games (but can be Pokemon related aside from that)... I have a FanGraphs T-Shirt. I prefer to analyze baseball from a detached statistical perspective and not be subject to the affection that normal fans possess. I actually bought a copy of the card that...

    Any House fans here?

    Who is your favorite female character in the show? My favorite character is Martha Masters, because she has autistic mannerism, and we share many personality traits. For instance, I never engage in small talk or use affectations; speak with blunt candor instead of being unctuous or cordial; and...

    The Twin Towers and their guards...

    I decided to play the game again ever since a hiatus from February. Certainly, the metagame has changed since Genesect was banned, but occasionally I find the challenges of team building alluring since one has to construct a team with respect to the constraints imposed by the metagame, create...

    Some meditations on the NCAA tournament and the probablistic nature of life

    I'll most likely watch the NCAA Sweet Sixteen games on Friday. The tournament is a microcosm of everyday life. As in life, so many things are probabilistic like the outcome of a given game, with no apparent meaning or significance. (The competitive drive, exhibition of athletic ability, and the...

    What are you giving up? If anything...

    I am giving up competitive battling, as I cannot watch competitive Pokemon battle or participate in one (although I haven't done the later since the morning of January 27 where I had 34 battles in a span of about five hours). Formulating various tactics and strategies and rehearsing possible...

    Doctors in the House: An Offensive Team

    Well, I recently went 26-8 during one night of laddering and had an ELO around 1450. I really do not like battling that much though, and that was my only laddering session in about two weeks and I only ladder about three times a month. As for myself, I prefer a tactical battling style, as I like...

    Thanksgiving Meals

    Because my swaggering immune system committed foul play on the beta cells in my islets, this is the first Thanksgiving, a day of gastronomic indulgence, when I cannot liberally indulge myself in carbohydrates. Even when I was not a diabetic, I still exercised much prudence too avoid gaining...

    Dungeons and Dragons a venial sin?

    Yes, this is somewhat troll thread, but it is an anecdotal recollection of a real event. I was out with a Catholic young adult group last night. I was discussing how some woman at an All Saints Day party mentioned she was into Dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games. Another woman...

    Is anyone a Catholic here?

    I am an adult convert who was confirmed on Friday May 31. I look forward towards the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Communion tomorrow, and walking to my parish on a cool, cloudy morning on Tuesday, perhaps to receive Communion again if I arrive early enough, to say a sorrowful five decades...

    A newbie offensive team

    As an introduction, I am quite different from the demographic here as I am a fairly old woman in my 20s (although I still have some of my youthful prepubescent appearance) and I was practically addicted to the English anime in college and even to this day. That's enough about me. Here's my...
