I’ve been particularly fidgety and restless in the past few days. So I decided to turn my misguided energy on my poor computer.
Now, in case you didn’t know, I bought myself a monster of a PC last year for my birthday. I’ll post the specs later in this post, but suffice to say, when it was bought, it was one of the most badass rigs out there baby! It still kinda is .
Anyway, I bought a bunch of stuff recently for my PC to spruce it up a bit. Bought an additional 1TB HDD (it’s a Caviar Black bitches…one of the best 7200 rpmers out there) to store all my sitcoms and...
A Riddle

Swinging elbows welt the night,
Babas make the world seem right.
Wonder filled memories fleet,
amidst emo rants and tweets.
Sunshine pierces through in cones
on houses made of bricks and stones.
Imaginary friends return again
as another week begins.

The tiger year begins.
I chew gum and resist the urge to run to a 7-11.
To buy smokes.
I check my mailbox impatiently.
Often thrice a day.
I read more Murakami.
And remember that cold rainy afternoon in Takayama, when I crept into that cozy little cafe across the road to the temple.
And ordered hot cocoa.
I should get back to reading now.
It reminds me of Japan.
It makes me feel whole.

State of mind

You sit at the edge of the world,
I am in a crater that’s no more.
Words without letters
Standing in the shadow of the door.
The moon shines down on a sleeping lizard,
Little fish rain from the sky.
Outside the window there are soldiers,
steeling themselves to die.
(Refrain)
Kafka sits in a chair by the shore,
Thinking for the pendulum that moves the world, it seems.
When your heart is closed,
The shadow of the unmoving Sphinx,
Becomes a knife that pierces your dreams.
The drowning girl’s fingers
Search for the entrance stone, and more.
Lifting the hem of her azure dress,
She gazes...

Mass Effect 2
Posted by The big poobah in Featured Articles, Games on February 1, 2010 | 2 Comments
This post is dedicated to the game that has pretty much taken over a large chunk of my life lately. It also happens to be one those games that you’d feel guilty for not buying (I know I did).
So now that I’ve absolved myself of the guilt, let me just say that the Mass Effect series have to be two of the most engrossing, amazing and fucktastically brilliant games I’ve ever played. Rarely,if ever,do sequels live up to…nay…astronomically exceed the expectations laid down by their predecessors. Mass Effect 2 builds on the incredible story laid down by Mass Effect and...
