I went to the beach yesterday, and we all went to the beach today. Still have those damned tan-lines, but I think they're fading. And yesterday I wrote a good bit for the Doctor Who meets Stonehenge Apocalypse crack story, although I apparently tend towards serious and long-winded crack. *sigh*

I'm currently playing Echo Bazaar (Wikidot entry) which is a role playing game that you can only do in short little bursts (i.e. ten actions to a total of 50 per day). It's awesome, though, and this is coming from someone who's most recent experience in role playing games is Pick Your Own Adeventure...back in her wee years. But it takes place in Fallen London, so it's a bit HP Lovecraft and quirky. It's twitter-based (i.e. you log in via your twitter account). The Escapist's review describes it as:
Set in the world of Fallen London, it combines elements of tabletop gaming, Victorian England, RPGs, and social networking. Sporting a cheeky sense of humor and a Lovecraftian vibe, the game combines the addictiveness of grinding with an unusual and compelling story elements. While its browser-based gameplay is certainly quite entertaining, Echo Bazaar's real appeal lies in its robust mythology and surprisingly deep backstory, which you discover bit by tiny bit as you play. The world of Fallen London is a joy to explore, a weird and wonderful playground where clay men wrestle in pubs and you pay for your lodgings with cryptic secrets.

Come on, join up! I'll invite you over for tea or on a bank heist or whatever it is I can invite you to. Or don't, whatever, I'm just sharing the fun.

Did I mention I have a weasel? Yes I do :D

And again with the meme-as-content. Because the other option is to tell you how I opened a coconut using only a hammer and a mini-flathead screwdriver in twenty minutes [ETA: By which I mean, I totally made that cococunt coconut where did that typo come from, Frued?!? my prison bitch, and had it cracked open and completely gutted in twenty minutes) or how I'm currently re-translating everything at Internship into Spanish, which results in boredom and brief escapades into wikipedia where I learn about sky burials and The Thing and The Invisible Pink Unicorn.

Also, is 20 songs too long for a fanmix?
