Just some stuff rattling around in my head; with only a few re-runs from the twitter feed:

♦ – As strange as it sounds, I am coming to believe that LEGO Rock Band is a better game than Rock Band 2.

♦ – My new favorite Southern Colloquial expression is definitely “getting down to the gnat’s ass.”

♦ – There aren’t many things funnier or cuter than watching a three-year-old singing Parry Gripp’s “Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom” in Rock Band

♦ – Totally against home aquarist conventional wisdom, I seem to have bred ghost shrimp in a tank full of hungry fish.

♦ – Attentive readers will not be surprised to learn we played a bunch of Rock Band this weekend.

♦ – That Tea Party demonstration I passed in the car on Sunday afternoon was kind of amusing in it’s whiteness and oldness. Also, I doubt they could discuss with any depth the Constitution their signs say they’re such big fans of.

♦ – The dictionary may say that “architect” can be used as a verb, but that doesn’t mean I’d recommend it.

♦ – Animaniacs couldn’t have existed without the Marx Bros. Irrefutable evidence of this conjecture may be found in Duck Soup.

♦ -I picked up the new Gamma World release using 4E rules a few weeks back; haven’t played it yet, but the rules allow you play as, among other things, a PC that is a swarm of kittens possessing a single sentient distributed intelligence (and in fact, uses this as an example in the rulebook). If you do not think this is one of the coolest things ever, there’s something wrong with you.

♦ – Tonight, I will finish a book that has been hanging around in my unfinished pile for far too long. It presents a vaguely interesting concept, though finishing it became more a challenge of endurance than a desire to actually see the plot and character arcs resolved.

♦ – Some day soon, I hope to decide on which hotel in this general region will receive my repeat custom for the next several months. The decision will likely be weighted greatly toward how the renovated fitness center in one of the finalists turns out next week.

♦ – I think this post will probably fall under more topic categories than any other post I’ve ever written here. To contribute to that record, here’s a link to new internet classic .
