		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve observed character flaws in some of the main characters on LOST:

Kate cannot stop running;
Sawyer has a death wish;
Charlie is an addict (obviously);
Locke&#8217;s has an what seems to be an inferiority complex (pride causing him to overcompensate);

Hurley believes he&#8217;s bad luck.

Which one of these characters do you identify with?

I recently read that discomfort during study helps &#8220;wake up&#8221; the left-brain. Can&#8217;t hurt (though it is uncomfortable). Alternating between overt slouching and supreme posture, I study under the lone overhead light in the kitchen.

		<description><![CDATA[Wizards &#38; Warriors, developed by Rare, LTD and published by Acclaim Entertainment in 1987. This game was amazing. I didn&#8217;t think it would be that good upon first glance. The guy&#8217;s helmet looked retarded (yes, fuck your political correctness, I used the word &#8220;retarded&#8221; in its colloquial sense). In fact I didn&#8217;t like it when [...]]]></description>

De-serve. If I serve anyone it&#8217;s myself. I thought this much was clear.
Snake Fang Strike.
Backed into a corner, enraged, I coil. Lost, despairing, angry. Spinning, slipping, falling. Crashing.
