Best shot I could get of newt this morning...he was all snuggled up close, and I reached over to grab the camera... he picked up on the photo-vibe, and made a run for the litter-box. (I'm not into kitty-scat photos, so that ended that.)

When I come back form the dead, I want a halo.

Kind of unusual. These appeared during the night, as I slept. I think I have an idea who did it, but I'm not sure. I did like getting a random howdy, though.

(f:god)mensa just called, they wanted me to tell you you're too creepy even for them

I wonder if they're totally random, or from someone on my friend's list. I actually had to think back, and see if I was on the potty at that time. I wasn't, but it'd have been bonus wacky if I had been.

Hee... the Scotsman is keen. I love his peg-leg that doubles as a machine-gun.

Newtie's mers won over my sweetie tonight.

speaking of freakishly cute.... this entertains me all too much. He doesn't want Trix, he wants your pointer.

Today's featured site on the Cruel Site of the Day got me thinking about music during gaming, surfing ambience, things like that.

A Estonian band called Rondellus has produced an album of classic Black Sabbath songs sung in Latin and performed in an authentic medieval manner with period instruments. Just think of "War Pigs" as a Gregorian chant.

The CD is for sale and the site includes sound samples and blah blah.

At first it struck me as funny, but you know I can't just leave anything like that.

Imagine presenting the music as passages from a Latin translation of the Necronomicon or tome of choice. If you aren't expecting Black Sabbath, the slowed tempo and radically different style can disguise the identity of the song for some time. Just the thing for a campaign involving Goths and R&R and backward masking and MK-ULTRA and Anton LaVey and Bobby Beausoleil and the whole merry gang.

parting thought before bed...night night
