Goodbyes.
I’ve been putting this post off for a while now. Well, that’s not entirely correct, but it’s honestly long overdue. I knew I’d want to write this about a year ago, and well, this is it.

One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people.
I sometimes quote this to people There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people. – Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica (imdb) painfully relevant, consideringContinue reading “One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people.”
Visit Russia.
Why are we not going there more? In a country covering nine time zones and one-sixth of the world’s land mass, stretching from the Pacific to the Baltic, from the Arctic to the Central Asian deserts, from near-medieval villages where people still draw water from wooden wells by hand, through single-factory towns and back toContinue reading “Visit Russia.”

H.R. Giger died today.
A sad day. Joining in on the chorus of sad Giger fans. It’s sad news, I wouldn’t have minded meeting the man some day and I’ve been planning on buying Giger art for a while now, but I’m guessing they will become unaffordable instead of just expensive, soon. I’m still very happy I went toContinue reading “H.R. Giger died today.”
On a train, not entirely sure the doors will open when I get to where I’m going.
On a train. Again. Last 3 wagons will not open where I’m going. When asking the conductor dude seconds after the automated message, he first looked befuddled.
