• Apparently I missed some Highlander thing on TV that half my flist has been stabbing things over. I've found I've taken a semi-interest in shows I don't watch, just because of LJ flailing. Like, wasn't Sara(h) supposed to die last spring? Or is it this fall? What ever happened with that? Not that I watch. Just remember a few posts about it.
  
  
• Certain things in life are your personal squee. Maybe it's jumping in puddles. Or smacking snakes with your car. (I knew someone whose squee was exactly that. Ew.) Mine is making someone smile and/or laugh. I swear it's like crack to me.
  
  
• I'm not really a big computer gamer. Like, much at all. I have a brother and so I played his stuff - Doom, Hexen, Heretic, Quake and so on - but what I really liked were the Myst games. You know, the adventure puzzle games. And ever since the Myst series, I've just never found any puzzle games like that. Until now. And they're...the Nancy Drew games. SHUT UP. For ages 10 and up. JUST SHUT UP. I'm sure many people would be downright bored playing these, but I kinda like having to, for example, arrange 20 frogs which will then open a secret passageway. Clues! The last game was a bit more fun than the one I'm playing now though. Last game I got to talk to George, Bess and the Hardy Boys via cell phone all the time. This game it's nothing but Ned who is just utterly useless. *ponders if there's a "dump Ned" feature in the game*
