The House That Silence Built

The CW's Reaper has been picked up for a second season of 13 episodes.

Eli Stone is also coming back for a second season.

This, another season of Supernatural, and more Pushing Daisies...a good turn out for series I liked this year.

Which probably just means Dollhouse will be screwed with on whole new levels to balance the scales next year, I'm sure.

Okay this post is uber-geeky. You've been warned.

There's an interesting Lost theory I read about... it sounded retarded but after a few week's thought I've kind of grown on it.
In unrelated news, I've found the creepiest product logo ever.
They're pretty tasty macaroons but this guy's gunna give me nightmares.

In other news, I think I'm sick and have allergies at the same time.

Triangle by Sounds from the Ground is really fantastic. That is all.

Someday, somehow, I will use this image in a game:



It's an active volcano in southern Chile, engulfed by an electrical storm.  At least, that's the conventionally accepted explanation.  I'm pretty sure any GM worth his dicebag can come up with something more interesting/sinister/awesome.

(Additional, less spectacular pictures here)

I'm still in the process of reading Inside Straight, the new-ish "Wild Cards" novel.  There's a lot to like in it.  But parts of it don't sit well with me and it took a while for me to put my finger on it.  Namely, it's the fact that much of the story so far revolves around "American Hero," a reality TV show where teams of Aces live together, face contrived challenges, and vote people off each week.

I hate such shows.  Despise them, frankly.  They hit a number of hot buttons for me, namely feelings of never being good enough to hang with the cool kids.

I'm going to stick with the book, because it's going in interesting places now that a number of characters are in Egypt, but I'm not going to feel less dirty about it.

"I'm not a big letter-writing campaign person, but a line has been crossed when the BBC starts taking away cute knitted dolls that look like Doctor Who monsters. Apparently some kind of copyright nonsense inspired a wanker at BBC legal to force the nice knitter at Mazzmatazz to remove all the cool patterns posted there for people who wanted to make plush animals out of the Ood (at left) and several others. Let remind you that the Ood are born with their brains in their hands, sing psychically, and have already been oppressed enough by humans. Now I am deprived of these cute yarn monsters and I am angry. Please write to the BBC and complain."

It's been far too long since I used this tag, just because:

A mix of Fables and Proverbs:

1. A grasshopper once said to a centipede: "My dear Miss Centipede, I love the way you dance. But however do you do it, with so many legs?"
   
   "It's simple, really," she answered. "First, I move this leg, and then... No, wait, Maybe it's this leg, or is it this one? ... Oh, dear -- oops!" And she fell over. -- (a kid I was tutoring in reading, years ago, read something like that to me out of a book. I forget the full context)



2. Make sure you're in with your equals, before you fall out with your superiors. -- Jewish Proverb



3. If you believe everything you read, you'd better not read. -- Japanese Proverb



4. A few friends were traveling along the road by the sea, and saw what they thought was a great ship, sailing far off on the horizen. So they climbed to a high point so they could see it come in, hoping for excitement. As it drew closer, they said to each other: "No, it's just a small boat." And when it finally came in to the beach, it turned out to be just a bundle of sticks. "Well," said one, "that was a waste of time." -- Aesop's fable, retold by me.



5. The world will come to an end, but music and love will endure -- Gaelic saying, loosely translated.
