Act I: In which Emrys Awakens

"Good lord I feel miserable. If it wasn't bad enough with the ex leaving town, I'm trying to catch my sleep back up to a normal schedule and feel like I'm hung over."

Act II: In which Emrys Checks His Email

"Jesus Christ I wish these account scammers would knock it off with the fake beta invites, I'm not going to fucking fall for it."

Act III: In which Emrys Spills His Drink

"Hey, these links are legit."

Went to Milo's to pick up food tonight, and when I came back home I noticed a playing card lying face-down in the parking spot next to mine.  Kicked it over, and noticed it was the three of clubs.

Had to look around just in case Penn and Teller were there.

I'll let you look over that page for a moment.  Go ahead.

Done?  Not a laser nerd?  Let me explain.

Wicked Lasers has allegedly worked out how to create a 1W blue laser that they can sell for $200.  For those of you unfamiliar with lasers, this is a Class Four device, which covers everything from about 500mW up to the laser from Real Genius.  To give you an idea of its power:

If you point it at a piece of paper, the piece of paper will burn almost instantly.

If you point it at someone's shirt, their shirt will begin to smolder.

Watch how I soar.

(If there was ever a point in my life I needed the good old wu-wei technique of taking your hands off the wheel and just trusting the universe to work, this is it.)
