| 7:39 pm | I have made AMAZING DINNER. It was excellent. I made a double-batch pretty much by accident, by discovering that I had too much of X and adding more Y to compensate, but it was great. Strong suggestion: Pick a pasta sauce that does not contain ingredients that you are allergic to. Oi. But it was amazing! |

| 3:17 pm | Why I like The Dresden Files I don't remember who specifically recommended 'em, but I saw the first three books on sale as a boxed set and picked 'em up on spec. I liked those so much I went to two different bookstores to get the rest. It would have been just one and a second trip next month or something, but the only book missing from the first store was *book 4*, and I wanted to read that one next. It's fluff, it really is. Standard-grade entertainingly-written modern-magic stuff, but there's one thing that really makes Harry Dresden stand out from the rest of the good-modern-fantasy set[1]: Harry's competent. He knows what he can do, he does it, and he's not afraid of it. He isn't terrified of pulling out his Big Guns in case he loses control the way most modern-fantasy protagonists are. He's not delusional about how his powers work or about what he can or cannot do. He's sometimes overconfident or simply *wrong* about something, but there's none of the whole "we mostly don't form Megazord immediately every time because we like to give our enemies hope" shit that is depressingly common in the depths of the mire that is the subgenre. Plus, really, Dresden's a jerk. It's a selling point. [1]: This set does not include Buffy The Vampire Shagger or any of her dozen identical clones. |

| 7:12 pm | A Slice Of Life. Cameron: "In Mexico, there was a tortoise, on it's back, on the side of the road." Me, yelling at the screen: "And you weren't helping, because YOU'RE A ROBOT." These are the things that occupy my days. |

| 9:58 pm | The best show on TV, S4E08 "I'm sorry, are you being sarcastic? Canadians have trouble recognising it because we do not have a large Jewish population." |
| 2:35 pm | Dreamkiller, a review in 4 words: "Circle-strafe and shoot." For free, it's neat enough to be worth checking out. For pay? Yeah, no. I wouldn't buy this game. In fact, I've got two days left on my free trial and I'm bored. I'm not deleting it yet because I might feel the urge to play tomorrow or something. But, really, the ENTIRE GAMEPLAY is "circle-strafe and shoot", and the only things they've got to make it different are some enemies who can't be injured until you step through a portal (which, for a short time, lets you injure them but makes normal enemies invincible) and some enemies who resurrect all nearby enemies until they themselves are killed. Move to a new area following the little arrow, when it turns red stay in the current area and kill everything. When it turns green, move to the next area, rinse, repeat. It's like playing City Of Heroes single-player. |

| 10:10 am | "Dreamkiller" is free on Steam this weekend. It's an FPS game where you go into people's dreams and shoot their nightmares. I haven't played it yet (it's installing now), but for free, how bad can it be? EDIT: HOLY CRAP THE FIRST LEVEL IS FULL OF SPIDERS. Not a very complicated or original game, but entirely worth the price I paid so far. I get to run around in a really atmospheric world setting spiders on fire with my brain, or sometimes just blowing them up with a minigun or rocket launcher. And isn't that really what it's all about? |

| 8:41 am | ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} jwz speaks eloquently:Facebook changed their privacy policy, and largely screwed the pooch. Where by "the pooch" I mean "you" and by "screwed" I mean, if any of your friends ever posts a quiz result or installs any other app, the author of that quiz/app is able to get all of your Facebook details -- name, gender, city, friends, photos, pages, etc.Facebook: once again, malicious and predatory in places where MySpace is just stupid. If you've ever been dumb enough to put *anything* you don't want totally public to the entire internet on Facebook, that was dumb, but if you delete it now you *might* be able to keep your boss/ex/family/neighbours/pets from finding it. |
| 8:25 am | Guess the state! A 53-year-old woman was arrested after hitting a man in the head with a raw steak. Elsie Egan repeatedly hit him with the uncooked meat and slapped his face after he refused a piece of sliced bread. The man said he wanted a bread roll. Egan denied hitting the man with the steak but did admit to slapping him, saying she did it "so that he could learn." Poll #1497121 Guess The State! Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 55 Guess The State! |

| 2:13 pm | Kent "Duh, I Eat Poop" Hovind's "doctoral" dissertation from his mail order university, online! Gotta love a "doctoral dissertation" that opens with "Hello, my name is Kent Hovind." No, really. I'm not making that up. |
