Last week's episode of Studio 60 was made more inneresting by the realization that Sarah Paulson is gay. Because, well gay makes everything more inneresting. So says I.

Also, Shut Up and Sing was made slightly more inneresting by the realization that Natalie Maines is married to the guy who plays Nathan in Heroes. FYI, ( Shut Up and Sing gets a thumbs up )

Finally, hello, I'm a geek. I'm not ashamed to be squeeful about this. Seriously.

OK. More coffee.

Go here for info about the Netease "Fantasy of the Journey to the West" online protest/debacle. It's interesting.

...'cause I finally finished Morrowind. Rec me a game, preferably available on Xbox. RPGs preferred but not necessary.

It's Monday, but at least it's the afternoon. I have no idea where my day went but it can stay there. I'm in no hurry to get it back. :b

I had a revelation on Sunday. bobamster and I weren't able to surf, due to poor conditions. I was quite sad, as you might imagine, and lamented the winter weather. Then I realized that many people who surf when it's warm then go snowboarding when it's cold. And I thought Hey, that's what I should do! I should learn to snowboard!

(Go ahead, you can laugh.)

wafflelips said that the conversion is final, I am now a California Girl.

Had lots of Geek Fun this weekend. Played a crazy amount of FFXI. Leveled. Started playing in parties (many thanks to chumm for the lift, the pies, and the How to Play a Mage chat before). Going to the Dunes to find a party reminded me of the first time I went to a club. You have to look interesting, be visible, and hope ohpleaseohplease that someone wants to hook up with you. Except you get to kill monsters.

On Friday, I heard from Slimey D that Hirsute Playa was thinking of asking me out. To his credit, Slimey just smiled and said "You don't wanna do that." Thanks to the Slimey one for having my back on that.

So how's your weekend?

I was instructed by the Sick One that I really should have bought an Xbox for her Christmas present, and why didn't I run out and fix that? So I did. Insane. One store was completely filled with stupid shoppers and had run out of the Xbox hardware, so I drove to another part of town. They had the hardware which I purchased with all due haste. I was also hit on by the cashier, who seemed terribly pleased that "a girl" was buying an Xbox for herself. I left the store before he could propose.

Now I realize that I never should have bought it. The damned thing is far too addictive. Holy mackerel!
