I'm working on an article to explain my antipsychiatry position, although I think "antipsychiatry" is a very negative term. Anyway, I took a break to burn an episode of the original Iron Chef when one my kittens decided it would be fun to play on my laptop's keyboard while I was gone. Yep, I left it alone with my cats and kittens, and guess what happened... a key and its retainer got pulled off! The key that makes the apostrophe and quotations is gone, making this post somewhat difficult when I must use them.
This is indeed a pointless post, but I've never had any of my cats steal my keyboard keys and hide them. Hopefully I find it in tact and not chewed up and spit out somewhere. If one my dogs gets hold of it, who knows what might happen to it! Maybe I'll end up holding a letter key funeral for it. Poor little keyboard, I feel helpless without it.
Anway, just decided to share this story 'cause it tickled me for some reason. I'll have to get a picture of it to post on here. Until then, bye!

Site Update!
It seems that my political articles of late have been overtaking the blog, so I've started a purely political blog called Political Retreat. I've imported all the politic-related posts from here to there, so if you're particularly interested, head on over.
In the meantime, this means that you'll probably find a lot more commentary regarding movie news, games, software, etc. on here. I know, it's not as interesting, but I'm trying to make everything as best I can. There may also be a few more personal stories, but, as I said in my introduction, it will be minimal, and it won't sound like an adventure. I know, I don't like reading about everything that happens in peoples' days either!

Update
The holidays were a hectic time for me, so I'm just on here to give a quick update and talk for a second about the highlights of Christmas this year.
First of all, I stepped on a rake, making a nice walnut-sized bump on my head. I didn't go unconscious, though, just stumbled forward and blanked for a few seconds before laughing at my stupidity. I guess I should count my lucky stars that I don't have a cracked skull, although I still have a small bump.
After that mess, I got the flu. It was a strange Illinois flu that traveled up to my safe little spot in Northern Minnesota, and I just got over it. So now you all know why I haven't been updating, and without further ado, here's some of the stuff I got for Christmas that I'll probably come back to talk about on my blogs in the future.
First of all, I recieved The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy, which is a collection of essays written by academics, professors, and pretty much anyone else with a background in philosophy, and it's all about the Zelda series. How cool is that? I've only read a bit of it, but it's been interesting so far. I probably wouldn't have picked this series to write a philosophy book about (the Chrono series, or perhaps Oblivion), but it's Zelda, so it's in my collection!
I also got a little book called Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks don't tell You, which sets out to clear up a lot of stuff that stumps people learning Japanese, and so far I like it very much. Anyone following my Genki blog will probably see this little gem show up in the future.
I got a bunch of other stuff, too, that was just awesome, but since I'm still deliberating whether or not I'll ever talk about them in the future, I won't mention them in this post.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that jazz. ...I never use that phrase.
