You may also know me from my four-plus years as an associate editor at Destructoid.

I’m a stickler for proper English — grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. — so if you see any mistakes in my writing, let me know. And if you see mistakes elsewhere, let me know, because I’ll want to point them out here and laugh (à la English Fail Blog). I might even put some on The Grammar Nazi, a Tumblr that I contribute to.

You can contact me at samit [dot] sarkar [at] gmail [dot] com, or on Twitter (see below). I’m also on Facebook.</description><title>Mere Musings</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @samit)</generator><link>http://samit.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Maybe I won’t wait six and a half years to play this!</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1333ae63bdc7ec14b3f8b315fb8577dc/tumblr_mn87cyOylb1qzo6cio1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe I won’t wait six and a half years to play this!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samit.tumblr.com/post/51110758394</link><guid>http://samit.tumblr.com/post/51110758394</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 20:43:46 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Plants really make their presence known in springtime</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d2af2ec4499277eb8ff0ce389286dfb9/tumblr_mn86leTiOn1qzo6cio1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plants really make their presence known in springtime&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samit.tumblr.com/post/51109508863</link><guid>http://samit.tumblr.com/post/51109508863</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 20:27:14 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>I don’t understand the faux wood cardboard box, but...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3c55c4ffe9c1ec32efd870b9bc7fdc46/tumblr_mn6jgq1JL51qzo6cio1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don’t understand the faux wood cardboard box, but whatever, IT’S HERE&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samit.tumblr.com/post/51043201162</link><guid>http://samit.tumblr.com/post/51043201162</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 23:10:02 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>maxscoville:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have my own show! I recommend a variety of pop-culture media in the same vein as a particular video game, and I pretend I’m a teacher! It’s like a hip gritty reboot of Reading Rainbow for the 21st century, to get the damn teens to try some new things instead of just shooting things in their Xstation 360s.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;(Reblog this or I will go homeless and die.)&lt;/p&gt;

I think once you let go of that idea, then first off you stop seeing yourself as the most important thing in your narrative, you see yourself as more of a component. There’s no art to my story. There’s no like, climax or anticlimax… so trying to find where things connected or what’s ‘in my arc’ didn’t make a lot of sense. And once I let go of that — cause that was a big thing for me in high school and college — I think I started having more success or became happier.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;Justin McElroy &lt;a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/1/4279674/im-still-here-back-online-after-a-year-without-the-internet" target="_blank"&gt;in the little documentary&lt;/a&gt; The Verge made about Paul Miller’s year without the internet (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://christinefriar.com/" target="_blank"&gt;christinefriar&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
