Programmer

February 9th, 2010

I need a programmer to work on a game, so I figure I might as well try using my blog. I’m working on a top-down 2D action game for the Google Android platform. It’s controlled by the touch screen and it has a fixed camera (the player moves from room to room rather [...]

Yay.

January 31st, 2010

I live in Brooklyn! Hell yes. There’s nothing more satisfying than having a place to live after not having one for two months. And that place is New York. So hell yes. I have my own room, I have an air mattress and pillows and sheets and blankets, I have [...]

Brooklyn.

January 23rd, 2010

I just got an apartment (well, a room in an apartment). It’s in Brooklyn, it’s pretty cheap, and I get to move in at the beginning of February. Yay. Now I feel like I really live here.

The Art of Morality

January 11th, 2010

I just figured out the nature of good and evil. Time to celebrate with a blueberry muffin.
Morality (good and evil) is one of humanity’s great works of art (yes, there are multiple moralities, but run with the singular for now). It hits home for most of us, but like all art, some of [...]

The Sun’s Fury

January 6th, 2010

I wrote another one. It’s not as good, but it’s also less gay than the last one.
The Sun’s Fury
by Lucas McCain
An angry bloom of yellow light surrounds the burning sun.
Though tempered by the night’s respite, her rage is never done.
His Earthen face of rock and dust reflects her angry light,
His heart, once overcome by [...]

Bride of the Moon

December 31st, 2009

I wrote a poem. Ain’t I a nancy boy. Here goes:
Bride of the Moon
by Lucas McCain (that’s my pen name)
Alone, at peace, she bathed on the shore,
the shallows and deeps were her own.
Her skin aglow with the silver she wore,
a gift from the moon as he shone.
And such the moon as he was, [...]

Manly.

December 21st, 2009

Today I did the manliest work I’ve done in years: I shoveled icy snow.  That shit is hard.  There was a thick layer of packed, solid, icy snow built up outside the restaurant, so they had me take a snow shovel and break it up and shovel it to the curb.  I had to keep [...]

Every song ever that uses the words “this club” is grounds for execution of its lyricist. Exceptions include using club to mean a big, blunt object meant for bashing folks upside the head, or if the word “club” is followed by the word “house.”
Moving on. Being a busboy is hard. It’s a [...]

500 Years Later.

December 18th, 2009

Hey y’all.  How long has it been?  500 years, give or take 499.5?  Anyway, hey again if anyone is reading.  Sorry I took so long to update, I just went through a pretty shitty spell of depression and came out not feeling like writing anything bloggy.
But things are different!  My life is different.  Two weeks [...]

Feeding my spider.

August 24th, 2009

I just killed a fly for the first time in a while. A while, I believe, because I’ve got a little spider living in one of my windows. It comes out through a gap in the seal every now and then and catches flies, then brings them back to its little house and [...]
