This just in: senseless destruction may lead to nakedness.

[active_apathy]

All is well, really, apart from the whole ennui thing yesterday. So, we have some observations, because I don't really have much to make into an actual post. Plus, it's warm. *melts*

inthatcantina, in which I play not_a_committee, lives again. And: it's fun. As much crack as ever, including screwing with the whiny jedi's mind. I'm also tempted to recycle a couple of my not_a_committee icons for general LJ use. Also, Shonda Rhimes has a lot to answer for. 'Seriously' is starting to find its way into my everyday speech, much like gorram and shiny did with Firefly. Seriously.

I finally got around to fixing the voice post bug in my layout, which was forked from an earlier version of Flexible Squares. I've half a mind to remake this layout by adding my own code into a fresh, up-to-date copy of Flexible Squares: the benefit of this approach is valuable S2 coding practice for when I start coding my own completely new layout. Also, I'm considering changing my web design tag into some more meaningful tags, including things for tricky stuff, HTML, CSS, accessibility, browser issues, things like that.

one_bullet_left had a link to an addictive wordgame. Neither she nor I are responsible for the results of clicking on that link, and any new addicts will only have themselves to blame.

Based on desperate TV experimentation last night, cricket is exactly as boring as I remember it. In fact, it'd take some fairly extreme measures to make it interesting. Dinosaurs, maybe.

Somewhere on the Interwebbernets, they recommend playing Trauma Center with a second stylus held in the off hand, for things like poking the buttons for the instruments or for injecting the patient with stuff faster. It works surprisingly well; I can get through the valve replacement in about 58 seconds that way. There's still some time to be saved there, but that can wait.

It looks like there's definitely going to be a game of Nomic happening at some point in the not-too-distant future. I'll make a comm when I have a name for one, and then people can join, and then we can play. This, of course, is good news for those interested in playing. There'll be an announcement when the comm is made.

I went searching for some of my old 600seconds posts a couple of days back, and I might as well repost the links here. I found two of them: this one, and this one, and then kept going through another two months of posts but found no more. There's also some Planescape, and that's it up until the end of July. I'll look through the rest of 2005 later; I thought I wrote more than that. Oh well. Also, there's plenty of fandom stuff in the 2005 posts, so ryttu3k, Doctor Who/Torchwood fic should be fine.

Also, I think I might be a little bored; while I was searching for my 600seconds stuff I absently coloured in an old bus ticket red, and just now I've unpicked a whole t-shirt hem one loose thread at a time. I'm picking apart the material itself now; if I keep going at this rate, it'll devolve into some kind of weird unweaving striptease, with me eventually left naked next to a pile of dissociated threads, a couple of bits of wire and some bits of paper coloured in with a red pen.

And... that's about all I can think of to post for the moment. If nakedness by way of senseless destruction does happen, I'll let you know.

If you had example tags after the word "like" they're not showing up.

Instrument switching on the Wii is so much easier. You use the analog stick on the nunchuk to do it, while the wiimote is your actual pointer. Whee.

Mmmm... Naked Linda...

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Oops. And therein lies the value of proofreading.

And I'm fine with instrument switching on the DS now; my one lasting complaint is with dealing with anything under the ECG display.

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

That Planescape piece is really very good. I'd be tempted to incorporate it into my campaign somehow, but it should really be the focus of an entire campaign rather than just a subplot in mine.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

It was a good prompt. I've always liked the idea of Mechanus - it's one of my favourite planes (though the Cipher in me prefers Elysium) - and I just loved the thought of the cog that drives it moving so gently, and just... ticking.

It fits with other ideas I kinda like, like Arborea coming from a single seed, or Pandemonium being the eternal echo of the wings of a long-dead butterfly, or an Elysium born of just one smile, or a creature, infinitely mysterious, who weaves around her an inescapable Cage. It all just fits.

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

Baator the first treachery and the Abyss a lone murder?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Limbo, from the first fall of a die or knucklebone or such. Acheron, a broken weapon left to rust.

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

Arborea the first laugh in jest, Bytopia the first home fire.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Ysgard, a valorous last breath. Arcadia, the first rule.

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

Mount Celestia, the first pardon. The Gray Waste, the first suicide.

I will attempt to comment in a manner later that, you know, actually involves reading the entry in detail (stupid short tea breaks!), but I just wanted you to know I am currently 'borrowing' the first episode of The Dresden Files right now. All the folks who have seen it said it's great - if you come up with a postage solution, let me know :)

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

There was an ep on the SciFi channel here in the States last night. Was it the premiere? I watched a bit of it but forgot to tape it. :(

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

It was the premiere. I love the books, so I'm hoping for good things from the series.

[raptor-au.livejournal.com]

It was indeed. If you still haven't seen it, it should be available on one of the many borrowing sites on the net ;)

oh good lord...

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

If nakedness by way of senseless destruction does happen, I'll let you know.

Please, please do. By way of voice post.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Alas, no. There was, however, a brief interlude of naked in the course of slipping into something a little more comfortable.

Does that help?

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

::sigh:: A bit.


But only a bit.

[leila82.livejournal.com]

'Seriously' has just about replaced 'like' as my filler term, and it's all Shonda's fault. That's just one of the many things I'm ticked at her about. I mean, seriously?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I feel your pain. And with Grey's fanfriends, you even get into the whole

"xyz sentence. Seriously."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously."

thing. And apparently, I have no Grey's icon, but I'm thinking of making a Trauma Center crossover one.

[tears-of-nienna.livejournal.com]

I just lost an hour to that word game. I hope you are happy.

...and I keep playing. This is worse than Bejeweled, and I mean that in the best possible way.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I know! And then it calls you a living dictionary, and then you just have to keep playing to see if you can do it again, and there's just no end.

[tears-of-nienna.livejournal.com]

Living dictionary? Yeah, I'm still happy to get out of the "Good Reader" level.

And I have to go to class and I don't want to, I want to play this until it gives me validation.

[tears-of-nienna.livejournal.com]

Okay. Hit Journeyman. It was a fluke, but it's enough. XD

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Hooray! And when you get back from class, it'll be there. Waiting.

[tears-of-nienna.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, I just got Grand Master.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure I've had that puzzle before. But. *SQUEE*

Yeah. I am never getting any more work done ever.

[fireflyfailure.livejournal.com]

i was stupid.
i saw the warning.
i clicked.
i am now addicted.
woe is me....
XD

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I think you should call the nomic community after a pun like cryptoNomicon or something. Nomical, astronomic, gnomic, nomicide, anatonomic...

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Nomicide! You win! And it's free! Freeeeeeeeee!

Um, whee. *is excited* *pouncehug*

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Gnomicide is when you spray mortein on your garden gnomes...

*falls over*

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Also, do you know how annoying it is to discover an addictive game INVOLVING CLICKING when my mouse is being a bitch and I have to double click everything, except sometimes?
