Gamers have lives! And if they run out of them, they best hope they'll have a continue left.

  1. They took the phone. O_O

    by , 07-29-2014 at 10:13 AM (This can be a foot to the lame.)
    So, as I exited the taxi, I performed my usual check. Nope, nothing has been left behind. Good. I bend over to retrieve my backpack from the back seat and leave. The taxi drives away.

    Seconds later, I realise my phone is not in my pocket. "Piss," think I, with some embarrassment at my own ineptitude. I don't mind too much, but I did like the number.

    This morning, a friend of mine calls the phone. Turns out some people have found it and picked it up! That's ...
  2. ToraTravels: no bangin' in Bangkok (january 2014)

    Bangkok is similar to many Chinese cities. It’s a massive sprawl of ugly apartment buildings and expressways casting the streets in their shadows. It’s still dark at 5 am in the morning after I leave the diesel train and hop into a tuk-tuk, a motorcycle with a ittle carriage welded to the back, for a fast ride towards Khao San Road, the one of the most disgusting places in the world. By the time I get there the sun is illuminating the street and the few old white dudes with their arm around a hooker ...

  3. The other Half

    by , 06-06-2014 at 12:16 AM (Formalhaut: Moonlighting)

    I've sort of let my blog go somewhat, and I didn't really like many of the entries I wrote in it, so I deleted the vast majority of them (I'm left with three now).

    So what's been going on in my life then since my last blog entry? Frankly, a whole bloody heap. Probably the most obvious thing was University this year. After nine months, my first year is finally over and objectively, it ...

  4. Mondays



    It's not mondays I hate. It's my job on mondays. It's the busiest day of the week. I have a bunch of angry people who are frustrated cause we were closed on the weekend so everyone and their dog has to call in. Plus it's the beginning of the month so they all have to call in for that too. People tend to get paid at the beginning/end of the month so they all call in to pay their ...

  5. Tennessee

    I will be spending a weekend in Eastern Tennessee at some point and I was wondering what kind of affordable things there are to do in the area. Any suggestions?

  6. ToraTravels: A-party-heid in Israel

    My last night in Tel Aviv happened to be on Israel’s Independence day, which is on a different date every year. From what I knew before about Goa parties, LSD and MDMA, the Israelis love to party and the night of Independence Day confirmed this idea. Tel Aviv was going crazy. Similar to Memorial Days and Victory Days in Europe, the previous day is one of mourning en remembrance of the dead, and in the morning they sound the air alarms in commemoration. The next day is one of celebration. From what ...

  7. ToraTravels: Shenanigans in Sarajevo with wild dogs, nice food and a lack of purpose

    After a visit to Prague and Milan, I find myself in the formerly war-torn Yugoslavia, hoping to find human drama and a good round of fresh ideas. What I found instead were dogs, Turkish food, American tourists and cheap cappuccinos. Going with a more structured format this time!

  8. Frustrated Writer Present

    Yeah, yeah, I know. Frustrated writer is so original.

    Technically, I write pretty regularly when it comes to my reviews, but when it comes to the fiction I used to write I've fallen back quite a bit. I was working on a novel, even made it as far as chapter nine, but then I got burnt out and never went back to it. The last time I saw something through to the end that wasn't a review was an old Harry Potter fanfic I wrote in a notebook pencil and all before I even had a computer. Somehow, ...
  9. ToraTravels: 7 Days in Tibet

    After a drunk New Year's Eve in Guiyang, which ended in a fellow Eoffer's bed, my next stop is Chongqing, yet another megacity you've never heard of. I've been told that the girls are hot.

    What I found instead was another smoggy, grey industrial mass with Chinese people scurrying around with huge bags on their backs. The city was built on a very hilly landscape and roads are sparse, which means the workers have to go up and down ...
  10. 59 Reviews

    In honor of the big six. O. I'm coming to on the 7th I thought I'd go ahead and link to all of the reviews I've done in the past three years. I figured it'd be all right to do in a blog since I saw shion link to hers before. Let me know what you do think if you do take the time to read any of them. Feedback is always welcome and I don't get enough of it.
