05:30 pm [Link]	pleasedon'tsuckpleasedon'tsuckpleasedon'tsuck My personal-favorite show starting with alien gibberish chanting (yes, more favorite than Farscape) to be remade/rebooted/sequeled (it's not clear). If this goes as well as the BSG reboot, I'll finally get to wear my own version of Emily's actually-very-terrifying Halloween costume. Sadly, this has been a dream of mine for more than a decade, but no one would have gotten it. Current Mood: bouncy Tags: syfy, things that i love, tv (4 comments \| Leave a comment)

05:43 pm [Link]	Why We're Incommunicado negativeq started feeling sickish on Thursday. By Friday evening she felt terrible. Yesterday, her doc said it's possibly pig plague (though likely not), gave her a course of Tamiflu, and sent her home with instructions to stay there. So right as my back feels better, I'm under a suggested self-quarantine for at least the weekend, and if I feel bad at all am not to go to work tomorrow. It's probably a good thing we wound up canceling Saturday's plan. (2 comments \| Leave a comment)

12:49 am [Link]	Old Familiar Faces With Inu-Yasha finally over, Rumiko Takahashi is writing Rin-ne (which, ht to erinfinnegan is available free at her US website). We're only four chapters in, so I'm not really able to review it, but I can say some things about it. it is clearly a Takahashi-drawn manga. Very much so. It bears certain similarities to Bleach, at least so far. Consider, however, how different the start of Bleach was to everything that went after. I still find cheapskate gags funny.

12:28 am [Link]	Something unlikely to be cryptic. As I have mentioned to some of you, I co-have a foodblog. I haven't linked it yet because the co-author didn't post until tonight, but GastronoNY is now past the soft-open stage and is ready for reading. Come by and comment, won't you?

07:20 pm [Link]	Good News/Bad News Good: Either the previous resident never once used the oven or it was freshly installed for us. Bad: I didn't realize that, so I didn't check for the manual. As a result, while roasting my chicken, I semi-broiled the manual. Bad smell, some carbon stuck to the lower part of the broiler pan, but no serious damage.

Warming TBA. Current Mood: exhausted Tags: housing, moving, so so tired (6 comments \| Leave a comment)

05:10 pm [Link]	DAMN IT This IS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR A FEVER. ARRRRGH. ETA: The worst part is, besides an apparently high fever, all I have is a tiny bit of throat scratch and a little bit of tiredness (not even THAT tired), both of which are completely expected after I spent the day getting out large dusty objects, beneath which resided dust bunnies from the dawn of time. I would have gone on with my day had Q not been shocked by the temperature of my skin and redness of my face. I wonder if this started yesterday -- I felt extremely warm all day, not feverish, just hot. I know that I like things a little cooler than most, but usually people respond to my being uncomfortably hot by agreeing it's maybe a little warm, but not unpleasant, while yesterday the response was universally complete disagreement. ETFA: I have no idea what this was. Within 2.5 hours, I was feeling noticeably better, I was less red, and my fever was down. Half an hour after that, I suddenly broke into a sweat, and have felt fine since then. What the FUCK causes a six-to-eight-hour fever?

11:44 am [Link]	Hey, look at that. I watch Criminal Intent as background noise, and I try and catch all of In Plain Sight, but I had no idea that the latter was a spin-off of the former. Tags: i found something, tv (2 comments \| Leave a comment)

04:02 pm [Link]	Greatest Website In History http://educate-yourself.org/ At first glance, it's just your average conspiracy + homeopathy site. But look deeper, and it's so much more than that! All the loons are talking about chemtrails, but how many are talking about Sylphs cleaning up after them (who may or may not, I can't really decipher it, come from the outer solar system)? Lots of sites will propose homeopathic cures, often including hazardous amounts of various shiny metals, but how many will offer you alchemical recipes, or suggest that bacteria are actively transmuting base metals into gold? It's just wonderful Current Mood: amused Tags: i found something (2 comments \| Leave a comment)

12:30 pm [Link]	Career and Residence As some of you know, I've had job issues lately, as well as housing issues. After careful deliberation, I have accepted a paid internship at the Reason Foundation. It doesn't pay a lot, but it will cover my expenses, allow me to work on important policy issues (I expect to do a lot of the research for amicus briefs, and I'm told I can anticipate writing one or two, as well as a credited article in Reason Magazine by the end of the year), and with luck lead to a better-paying fellowship either there or at the Cato Institute or Heritage Foundation. Of course, this will necessitate a move, but I've always wanted to move to beautiful Los Angeles. I'm not sure, but I think I'll be able to afford a car (I'm thinking an Explorer), and something with a nice lawn for a dog to play in. Of course, moving, especially cross-country, can be expensive, but since I'm not obligated to pay taxes to the illegal government of Baquack Hussein ibn-Osama, that's going to be fine. Talk to you all from the west coast!

09:04 pm [Link]	Joy Burger Bar Very good. VERY good. Moist but not drippy, good tasty buns, a variety of toppings available, including some house-made sauces that are very flavorful (I suggest the chimichurri). Good atmosphere for a burger joint, very friendly staff (owner is running the register), Coke in glass bottles and nigh-undrinkable shakes (as in, might as well get a spoon), and really incredible fries round it out. I recommend it. 100th and Lex. Current Mood: contemplative Tags: food, i found something (1 comment \| Leave a comment)

10:26 pm [Link]	Post of infinite hate So the grand finale of the show is a handful of white guys, mostly old, looking at the "Natives" and joking about breeding with them. And again, when the decision is made to abandon their physical culture, technology, and displace the current inhabitants of ReallyEarthThisTime, it's still a mostly male planning-group. Yes, tell me again how this show is arguably non-racist, non-misogynistic, or non-ageist. Oh, and as to the interminable denouement? Fuck it. It's a litany of the bad choices everyone made before the apocalypse, and it's not explanatory, just embarrassing -- for the characters, the actors, and the creators. I'm honestly trying to come up with my usual post-BSG-I-actually-watched attempt-at-comedy post, but nothin' doin'. The thing fucking makes fun of itself, and what little isn't second-to-second self-parody is just so infuriating as film making and politics that I can't seem to bring myself to engage with it in any mode but angry disdain. As it actually ends, the one ray of hope is that given the hominids we saw, they're SO FAR BEFORE the agricultural revolution that they obviously all die out within a decade or two, century at most, and the non-invading hominids actually get their chance, rather than being replaced by obnoxious space-perverts. OK ACTUAL ENDING IS AN ANTI-ROBOT MONTAGE! ANTI-ROBOT MONTAGE! Current Mood: aggravated Tags: bsg, so angry, tv (61 comments \| Leave a comment)
