I can get up to level 50, but it's darn hard to stay there!

ETA: I have a few words where I'd dispute the definition... they've got one that's close, but definitely not a cigar, listed as the right definition. (Gramayre is not necromancy, thank you very much...) But on the whole it's quite enlightening.

*still giggling*

Over at fanthropology they posted a link to a very random pairing generator. Here. Then they suggested that we defend some of the pairings we cam up with...

And I ended up drabbling...


( Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park) / Spock (Star Trek) )

( Jane Drew (The Dark is Rising) / Qui-Gon Jinn (Star Wars) )

I've been doing them as "Cross Sums" forever, and I've worked out a nifty little chart to help solve them, and I'll explain it if anyone's interested. I was going to send it to Will Shortz, and complain about how easy his book was, but the submission box wouldn't take my message. So there, bleah.

I am absolutely frantic and I have no clue why. Are there any memes running around you want me to do? Spam? Silly things that could serve as distractions?

I'll probably add more as I go along.

And it's all serai1's fault. She posted a couple of videos here and then figured out that the children were chanting "Pythagoras Switch". Then I searched the term at YouTube and found lots more gadgets. They're curiously soothing to watch.

Of course, having watched a bunch of gadgets I decided to click on the Algorithm March... The ninjas are a nice touch.

And then there's this.

*wanders off singing Japanese badly*

ETA: It appears to be a generic Youtube addiction. Found some Dave Allen too.

And another funny video. This one is elendiari's fault.

today is the last day of the diet... the last day I go without any kind of thyroid supplement... I slept nearly twelve hours last night, and I've already napped once and the hours stretch before me like... like... hours and hours and hours...

Spam me! I need things to do which require very few braincells, but kill a lot of time.

Or someone is...

Doomy doom doom!
