Jul. 5th, 2007 10:02 am1. Review will probably go up very late tonight, since we'll be packing and then attending Readercon.
2. I finally hit level 13 in KOL. Let me say that the revised NS seems to be fucking unbeatable. It's gotten so hard, I've considered dropping HC. Anyone have any good tips?
3. Lanark, one of my favorite novels, is 25 years old! It also appears to be back out of print, which just sucks.
4. Looks like my Mets are back to being ugly. No way can they survive a July that's anything like their June.
5. Sex and the City: The Movie. Why? I mean, the show wrapped everything up, and, frankly, the tv format is infinitely better for storytelling anyway. What fans have actually been "clamoring" for this?
6. Lisa Simpson for president! I'd vote for her, but I don't think she meets the minimum age requirement.
7. Today is National Workaholics Day. I, however, am on vacation. Damn me and my non-patriotic tendency to undermine holidays!
8. Speaking of patriotism, the USA has reclaimed the Hot Dog title!
9. Disney recycles their cells! Granted, they're likely really recycling reference poses, but it's still fascinating.

Also, I've met multiple women that have either moved here under the premise that their life was going to be like the show or that they've been living here and they'd want their life to be exactly like the show; it's their aspiration.
Color me disgusted.
