Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've never really been a big videogame freak, but this sounds like fun:

Majesco's new Jaws Unleashed, a free-roaming hunting video game based on the hit Universal Pictures film series, lets gamers play "Bruce," the most feared predator on earth. As the intelligent shark, gamers can capsize boats, tear divers apart piece by piece, crush jet skis, gnaw apart animals and more.

In Jaws Unleashed, Bruce (the nickname given to the mechanical shark in Steven Spielberg's first Jaws movie) is upset about the infiltration of humans on his home waters. The game includes 20 missions, such as rampaging through a Sea World-like theme park, destroying a pollution-causing chemical plant and battling an orca. There are also 32 sidequests, all of which have three difficulty levels each.

Jaws Unleashed comes with a number of standard underwater and surface attacks, as well as air attacks, which means players can jump through the air to snag humans off of boats or plunge through docks. Besides Bruce's toothy mouth, the shark can use its tail like a whip and its nose as a ram and can grab victims covertly. The game also features unlockable supplementary advanced moves, such as dive-bomb splashes, corkscrew attacks and jumping "one-bite kills."

The game also features hidden collectibles, timed races and a number of challenges involving eating, destroying or stealth-killing hapless swimmers. As a bonus, the game is backed by John Williams' musical score from the original film. Jaws Unleashed is available now for Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC. Universal Pictures is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

A morsel of good news:

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Like Flea, I knew most of those from reading Regency romances.

Yeah.

It was Bob Patterson, in Accounting.

(Sorry. I actually have no idea.)

I might be too chagrined to admit the actual show... There was bad tv ending (make it a series finale and I am as putty in your bad writing hands with the emotional bits) and my tv watched it for me and I got sucked into the whole drama.

That’s okay. I was PMSing and I got choked up (white fonted for my embarassment) at the Simpsons episode where Bart and Lisa play hockey and it all comes down to the penalty shot, and Lisa skates aside for Bart to have a free shot, and he decides not to take it. And then they skate off holding hands.

Anyone here take Naproxen? I took it for the first time this morning, and I've been violently vomiting for the last hour (about every 10 minutes...oh so fun!). Do we think that's the culprit, or is it just one of my random vomiting kicks?

I take it. They warn you that it might make you nauseated if you take it on an empty stomach, but it doesn’t bother me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is Hecubus around? I need someone to tell me what to do with my hair.

Are you getting it cut? I need to cut my hair, too. If only Nick Arrojo wasn't so expensive, and, like, in New York.
