As I feared, the onset of uni has meant that I have lost the energy to come up with witty, profound posts for you every night. I suppose I had a good run this month, looking back over previous posts I am amazed I had so much to write about.

There's an interesting Flash game here with the pointed anti-Bush stance (heck, the game is called the "Anti-Bush video game"), which is interesting to me because it's a video game with a message (albeit the video game aspect ain't all that great, it's more a cloak for the message). Now, I'm not supporting or dismissing the quality of this message, but I find interesting to think that video games are now being used as a medium through which views are shared, for that used to be the realm of the printed press, television and film. It's kinda neat to think how far the net has gone, ya know? Perhaps you won't find this very remarkable at all, gentle reader, but for some reason this video game reminded me of how far it has come.

I had a nice big screenshot from Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic all ready to be display here, but I accidentally removed it, by which I mean that I took another screenshot of something else, thereby removing it (curse Windows' one-item clipboard!). Ah well, I'll have an interesting one for you soon, perhaps showing off the true power of the dark side. Not that there would be any point, of course, but it would be purely for my own entertainment.

I must apologize for the fact that this post is largely useless. I normally hate posting just for posting, but I feel oddly compelled to do so. EDIT: One more of my foibles is unearthed. I saw that this para was worded such that the word "so" appeared on a line all by itself. I realized then that I couldn't sleep if I didn't change this. Sometimes, I truly think I am an obsessive compulsive. I have an ancient memory associated with OCD actually, perhaps I'll share it with you next time.

it's nice to hear from you; profound and witty posts are a bonus.. the dear aditya behind the posts are always there and that's what makes them better than reading.. *pause* chaucer. *longer pause* I'm gonna regret dissing chaucer

why do people call them disorders? I mean, what kind of 'normal' are 'they' comparing 'them' to? and who decides who 'they' get to be anyway? if 'they' were 'them' then 'they' would be the ones with disorders. cept society is too fat and heavy to turn all the way around like that.

*shrug* I don't know what I mean.. it's the leg.. really.
