yendi(Note: We've got a major project going live this week, so I'll be scarce(r) than usual, for those who care)
1. This might be the coolest fictional map I've seen in a long time. The idea: an Earth with inverted land and water, so that 70% of the planet is now land. Very nifty.
2. Today's moment of wrong: Wonder Woman Scissors.
3. Today's other moment of wrong: Greg Maddux and his love of golden showers.
4. The Dick Cheney Emotional Chart (ganked from Making Light). I sense an LJ mood theme here.
5. Amazon's latest DVD sale consists of a bunch of $7.99 titles (47% off), including Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Das Boot, Matilda, 13 Going on 30, and Gattica. About 100 titles overall.
6. Obligatory KOL update: At level 11, with 1.8 of the quests complete (finished the Hidden City, and got the Mega Gem on my final turn of the day). The RNG has not been friendly.
7. Reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tammy212's thoughts on Dark Horse's decision to reissue the Gor novels, I have to wonder what would have happened if the books had been written fifteen years later. Would they simply have faded into the vast internet porn superstructure, never to be seen again? Would Dark Horse then have more money to spend on useful things, like bringing out Usagi Yojimbo collections faster?
8. Jerry Seinfeld will appear on the season premiere of 30 Rock! Yay! I can only hope he spikes the ratings here just like he did with his guest appearance on Dilbert. Um. Or maybe a wee bit more.
9. Shorter Vitter denial: "Sure, I might have slept with a Washington prostitute, but not with those skanks from back home." Yay, family values!
10. Finally, it's nice to see the RIAA take it on the chin again. It's something that simply can't happen often enough.
