Time Warner decided to change our IP so the site went down while the new IP propagated to the DNS servers. If the IP address changes again in the future, jessie.homeip.net generally comes back faster than jessieferguson.com although they both point to the same thing. Just FYI.

Worst… Ending… EVER….

28 September, 2004 (00:00) | Anime

Okay, okay. Maybe not worst EVER, but it definitely did not fall into either “massive bloodshed” or “fuzzy happy love for everyone” which were really the only two endings I wanted to see. For those of you who are confused, I am referring to the ending episode of InuYasha. Yes, it’s over. [...]

So, with the addition of Fable into our Xbox collection, my daily routine has changed from “work, eat, sleep” to “work, eat, play Fable, play Fable, play Fable, oh crap! it’s 2 AM, well… ok, one more second, play Fable…” This has consequently changed the “work” portion of the day into the “sleep” [...]

Ode to Oracle

Oh beloved Oracle, why do you torment me so?
Your joins are so long,
And your queries so slow.
As I sit and I wait, oh so patiently,
You giggle and laugh and cackle with glee.

See what boredom does to [...]

Evil Plot to Steal Your Money
No, it’s not my evil plot to steal your money, although that would be good too. It’s the plot of the movie, gaming, and anime empire to suck you dry as quickly as possible. It seems that the cosmos have aligned and everyone wants an even larger chunk [...]
