Timelies folks. Monday the 13th is usually an unlucky day (whereas Friday the 13th is usually good).

I need this game [link] and so does anyone who likes A Series of Unfortunate Events or similar. It's just too bad Gorey died before doing the art for it.

Oh, I saw that in the games store the other day. I may need to take another look.

Hey billytea! After you mentioned War of the Ring I checked it out, and went ahead and bought it. I have to say it looks pretty cool. I mean, with 200 miniature figures designed by John Howe, you can't go wrong!

So thanks for the rec, even if it was unintentional.

Oh, that does look fun!

Shameless picspam from Lily's bath at the usual location: [link]

CuteLily! Mal has Kryp the Bat also. It was his first stuffed animal. Now he's got about 10 that he's marshalling into a force for world conquest.

I can't get over Lilybean's HAIR! It's gorgeous!

I was put off by the "Southern" accent. Also, I'm really tired of the "she's really good at her job but she's messy and has body image problems" thing.

The food thing started bugging me. I don't know from Southern accents farther than Kentucky, so I just wank that stuff.

I was distracted from the plot in The Closer by an almost maddening need to brush Kyra Sedgewick's hair out of her face.

From the promo, I think that That she gets an LA makeover and they straighten the hair. So I think this gets better next week. I figured out the crime earlier than DH this time, so that may have added to my enthusiasm. That hardly ever happens at our house.

Cindy. VM reruns start tonight. *poke, poke*

Did you take Denise up on her offer by the way?

Good morning, all. Despite my living nowhere near the exciting explosions and power outage of Central Sq., I came home to no power as well. It went out at 7:45, and I listened to the game on walkman with candles on the kitchen table, and went to bed early.

I woke up at 5, sweating like a soda can, and still no power. There is no happier noise at 5:30 than the noise of a big truck beep beep beeping as it back sup to get into position to fix the one tiny problem in the wires that is keeping your block powerless.

Verdict on the freezer: everything OK, cross fingers.

I think this is interesting:

Tom Cruise's beliefs in Scientology are based on misinformation, according to US showbiz magazine Entertainment Weekly - after editors checked facts from a recent interview with the movie star. Just weeks after accusing Brooke Shields of being "misinformed" after she championed anti-depressants for helping her deal with post-partum depression, Cruise made a couple of sweeping statements to Entertainment Weekly reporter Benjamin Svetkey. The writer chose to check Cruise's comments and found out he wasn't accurate. Supporting Scientology claims that psychiatry is "a Nazi science", Cruise stated, "Jung (Carl Jung, the father of modern psychiatry) was an editor for the Nazi papers during World War Two," which the magazine's researchers discovered is untrue, according to the New York Center For Jungian Studies. The movie star continued, "Look at the experimentation the Nazis did with electric shock and drugging. Look at the drug methadone. That was originally called Adolophine. It was named after Adolf Hitler." The magazine also questions Cruise on this point, explaining, "According to the Dictionary Of Drugs And Medications... this is an urban legend."

Not the bit where Tom's on crack -- old news. But the bit where EW is actually fact checking a Scientology story, and I wonder if they're going to publish the results? Didn't Scientology used have an effective lock on entertainment media? Like a well-managed hand of steel?

What happened? What's changing?

Ever since that episode of Milenium, things have been different.
