Previously I had written about the possibilities of time travel using the basic assumption of time being a fourth dimension, in the same sense of the three spacial directions. Today, however, I am going to approach the issues of travelling through time from an entirely different angle, where spacial dimensions are entirely irrelevant. [...]

If you are easily offended, sometimes offended, or occasionally offended by jokes involving massive historical tragedies, please do not continue reading.
I take no responsibility for any lack of respect or esteem that you may have after reading this post.
Right, so! This is a little exchange that I and a couple of my friends had in the IRC chatroom I hang out in had. I took out most irrelevant chatter, but left in the reactions of amusement (as gibberish as they may be).

Time travel. A staple of reality-bending creativity for years, time travel is possibly the most frequently misunderstood entity of the genre.

So, yesterday was a great day.
I actually made real progress on cleaning up my apartment.
The Lunacy was Black Butterfly Moon.
All the fuss and joy over the latest BPAL update had cheered me up from the previous gloom and precarious perch on the edge of another depression fit.
The weather was gorgeous
The perfume that I was wearing [...]

First, a bit of background information. There’s a perfume company that I have a bit of a fixation with, which you may or may not know. The company is Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, commonly called BPAL.
So this company has, every month, an event/update which is termed “A Little Lunacy”. It occurs with [...]

If you happen to follow my blog (or like reading archives), you’ll remember that rant I had about steampunk going mainstream and whatnot and so on, filled with ire and indignant affrontedtry (I do so love making up words).
Well, the other day I suddenly realized that I don’t care anymore. It’s not resigned apathy, [...]

For some reason I seem to have stopped posting on my blog, and I can’t for the life of me figure out exactly what changed. It seems like once again I’ve gotten myself stuck in the rut of trying to come up with something interesting to write about on here. This of course [...]
