Defense Department Opposed Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment
I'm an old, old, old, school girl SNL fan, back when Al was a writer. I've been following this dude for about thirty years now, and I'm always interested to see where he's going. But even without him, I would be interested in this story. What he's proposing seems common sense and yet receives criticism. I am stunned.

Plus, the mock website rocks.

SPOILER: Dark Reign Mystery Reveal At The Atomik Level
What can I say? Marvel suckered me in with Dark Reign.

Do Anything 021 by Warren Ellis
and
Paper Nets
I love Warren Ellis. I do.

Pope makes it easier for Anglicans to convert
So, let me get this straight. If you're Anglican Church has a gay bishop and you all want to become Catholic, it is now cool and groovy with the Holy Roman Catholic Church? Dang.

Nasa's rocket roll-out complete
I can't believe this is a one shot deal.

Keeping Point-and-Click Adventures Alive
I can remember playing "Day of the Tentacle" with my boy and laughing my butt off. We loved playing that game!

Whedon Vs. Shelley: Now It Can Be Told!
Joss Whedon and John Byrne? Holy fuck! I must get me to a comic book shop!

SPOILERS: More Asgardian Heroes for Thor?
I am so into being spoiled for the movie Thor.

Wil Wheaton: The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary
Wil talks about his Big Bang Theory episode

My son presents his senior project tomorrow. For his senior project, my son chose the task of writing a video game. He tried to run it on my husband's computer as a test and it failed. He panicked, but I suggested that there may be a way to export the program instead of saving it. However, my son found through the RPG VX program's help file that he needed RGSS-RTP (a runtime type program) in order to distribute the game. We downloaded it (hurray for free downloads!) and ran it.

The program installation screens where in Japanese. Thankfully, arrows and "N"s lead through the install on his thumb drive. He was able to play his game off the thumb drive. I saw my son's first ever video game he created.

Shut up. I am not crying.

Anyway, I'm so proud of him I am about to burst. My little boy's all grown up. Here's hoping he can make enough video games after college to pay off his loans.

Apparently, I like rebellion in any form because this is my favorite news story of the week:

Angry bored octopus goes wilding

Ghostbusters Game Is So Lifelike, It's Spooky - I may need to get because I only saw the movie 15+ times in the theatre.

Deal: Amazon’s 15 Days 15 Deals TV on DVD Sale!

Mario Party 7: turns me into the filthiest-mouth pirate on the planet. I said "fuck" so many times in a row that I believe I set a whole new speed record for swearing when Bowser swapped our coins for the opposing team's. Tonight, I sincerely hope to dream about chopping up that old mushroom man to saute for a pizza. "Her-HER this, motherfucker!"

*shakes head* I am such a bad example for the boy. Of course, I don't believe he could breathe the entire ten rounds for laughing.

"Now you know why I yell, Mom. This game cheats."

"I know! This game can suck my butt dry and choke on the kernels!"

Keep me away from all video games and children while playing video games. I don't play them right (which suddenly makes me want to dig out Fable again. I managed to have the male hero marry to different men in two different towns. I was a bad, gay hero).

Gold-farmers beat ad-ban by spelling URL in dead gnomes

From Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing: World of Warcraft has banned ads for "gold farmers" who sell virtual gold and artifacts for real money. The farmers have retailiated by slaying gnomes and arranging them on the ground to spell out the URLs of their gold-farms. Check out the video of it, complete with Benny Hill music.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

I spend so much of my days lost in stories. I daydream way too much. Finally, I've decided to drop whatever I'm doing and write some of these down, even just snatches and quips. I don't know why. Maybe it will help.

I want breakfast tacos.



I cannot wait for this week's Doctor Who. Seriously, I'm sitting here thinking about the new episode.

If I run into any problems tomorrow, I am going naked to the wedding. That's it.

I love my State.

What would cause WordPad to add random question marks to an XML document?

I want a Wii and the new Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End game.

You know. I can't quiet climb on the "Yay! She's going back to jail" bandwagon because I just want her to go away. I never want to hear another word about her ever again.

This is so wrong that I haven't the words:


voided_space? lordgloria? Have you seen this?

Have I mentioned I want breakfast tacos?

I'm not exactly sure why that man is in that position considering the circumstances, but I need it for my kitchen.

A book my son needs to add to his summer reading list.

A little crude, but a funny mash-up: Goonies of the Caribbean.

fiere had this in her journal. I had to steal it. Yes, because it's the cherry on the top of the stupid cake.

OMG. I wish I had time to do stuff like this. This is awesome. Do the Right Thing using the old Fisher Price Sesame Street playset.

Hey, here's the bonus of global warming: more marketable property.

Why Google Maps rock - man caught peeing by roadside

Now. Sit down. Put your drink down. I'm going to show you one of the coolest things:

Super Cool Pic

Read the credits. Click to start. Click and hold near the center of the picture. Move your cursor towards one of the sides.

...I've avoided the Sims crack up to now.

Then I saw this.

In a rather adorable, boyish glee, my husband has brought out the boy's Playstation 360.

I believe I'm going to loose the big screen television.

Hubby and I were invited to the Second Saturday Stroll presented by the merchants of Cocoa Village. Most of the shops stayed open late, offering treats to entice patrons in. Plus, The Cocoa Village Playhouse had a performance of Thoroughly Modern Minnie tonight as well. We had a lovely time wandering about, watching people, seeing new things. We spent a great deal of time chatting with the owners of the new Magic Shop. Lovely, intelligent people.

I think if I could move closer to the Village, I would be much happier down here.

Plus, I had a glass of wine, champagne and a cherry favored cigarette for free. Hi.



Toga bought a pet. Gromit (the wolf) she trained, but Snack (the cat) doesn't do battle. Snack doesn't fight or run for help when Gromit is trapped in a well. She comes with her own cat carrier for safety during battle or long travel.

Hee hee hee. Toga is very happy with her growing family.

So, Toga put Cutesy in a stable and went off after a new pet: a young ravenger wolf. After three tries, she tamed the rebellious black wolf. Unfortunately, she found her meat stores running low. Immediately, she went off in search of game to feed her new pet. What she ran across was....

( ...disturbing. )

Oh, and Toga and Gromit were cursed into looking like undead ghost pirates tonight too. Luckily that wore off.

Tonight, the mighty Toga saved her people from a three story tall demon (she had help, thankfully) and closed the portal from the Outlands. She also defeated an undead dragon (by herself).

*grins*

( Click here for a new picture )

The talbert is from her people in thanks. She has a signet ring as well. Last we left our hero, she rests in Ironforge, in the hand of the Dwarves.

( Click here to see the gratitude of Toga's People )

Yes, that's a cape you see. Toga has a pretty, silk cape. *bounces* Hee.

And before you say anything, hubby's the elf, not me. I'm the horned creature with the mutate pet.

( World of Warcraft imagry below the cut )

Damn blood elves. *shakes fist*

Oh, and this is so true.

The male Blood Elf dances like Napoleon Dynamite.

That is all.
