Stake out a piece of the leaf. Neil Gaiman has a short story collection coming out, and in anticipation there's this piece of randomness. Go on over, click on a square, and post a bon mot. I spent a little time going through reading what people had put up; it's fun.

Have I mentioned how amazingly awesome Guitar Hero is in my journal? I mean, awesome. I love getting my brothers into various bits of rock music. It's *such* a kick to hear the youngest one sing along to More Than A Feeling. You wield that fake guitar, strum along, nail some killer passages, and you feel ready to pick up a real one. I've also taken a shine to two of the songs in the game. One is Hey by Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives. The closest group I can compare them to is They Might Be Giants (chip off the old block, even), but the music is fun and, dammit, I want to buy their CD. The other group is Graveyard BBQ. Having listened to their Myspace offering the only song of theirs I'm fond of is the one from the game, Cheat on the Church (clicking on the link leads to a page that cues the song automatically). Very fun to play.

The new Entertainment Weekly features BSG, which is a big plus. Of course, in typical EW fashion the article is laced with spoilers. I mean, frak! And God forbid you try to avoid the spoilers in the actual words, the pics they choose to use are spoilers as well. Publicity for the show is definitely needed but stop hitting me over the head with shit I want to avoid, EW. All the time with that bloody magazine. They need a good talking to.

TNT's been playing Kill Bill 1 & 2. I'm remembering how much I loved those movies, over-the-top dialogue, stealing (homage?), and all.
