Yay, Dylan!

GH vs. RB:

Avatars. The female ones in GH are borderline offensive to completely offensive.

HUD: You can't see as many notes in GH, so you don't have a chance to see the upcoming patterns and get your finger position ready. It's also harder to see the rhythm, so you (meaning "I") end up having to play mostly by ear. Which isn't so hot at lower levels when not all the notes in the song are there to be played.

I also have a hard time watching the notes and still being able to see my Star Power level. And I can't use the damn accuracy tracker for love or money.

And I hate the GH controller a lot more than the RB one. Which is probably another whole rant.

I'm a Hard/Expert player on RB and only a Hard on GH, which is pretty much equivalent to Expert on RB.

Good parts: the songs for GH are *guitar* songs - you're rarely playing hours of rhythm guitar. And I can't think of another good part. Oh, some of the "camera work" is more fun.

How is there no Law and Order? That just seems wrong. I thought that was a rule!

Go, Dylan!

Dylan! Very awesome way to treat your parents, kiddo.

I know, me too! But no USA either, and TNT is showing basketball. BOO!

Go Dylan!

Yay Dylan!

meara, I meant to say earlier that your boss is annoying me. Of course you aren't engaged. That shit is BORING. Also, repetitive. Also, also, he should shut it.

Thanks Kristin!

Is it bad that I'm very sad "Made of Honor" doesn't come out THIS weekend, so I can't see it while I'm marooned in Indy? BOO. Likelihood I will see it when I go home is very low, but this weekend i would totally go.

I want to see Smart People, Leatherheads, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Especially the last one. I keep hearing great things about it.

For those I will point you at the Vampire Kisses series (silly name, great books) and the Morganville Vampires series (written by the same woman who writes the Weather Warden books, which I have not yet read).

Cheers! I'll look for the former - am already picking up the latter, and they remind me powerfully of a short story Rebecca Lizard was working on for the Great Never Completed Bitch Porn Anthology, back in the day.

But the thing is, in relation to Aimee's topic, that it's Twilight that's getting all the publicity, at least in my bookshops, and being wolfed down and talked about by the kids, and getting a movie made. Which, from the teacherly pov, is kind of 'aargh'-making. Glad to hear that the subsequent books get better, though.

(Between Twilight and the TV show Moonlight, (hell, let's add Angel's creepy lolly-sucking-wee-Buffy-stalking ways in there too) I'm finding myself powerfully tempted to write something involving a hot vampire who doesn't get all lustful and icky over girls he really should see as children, and who is genuinely aghast to find the teen girls trying to get in his pants. You know, one who ACTS like he's well over 80 and no longer interested in shagging, and sees the 17 year old as a kid. A crotchety vampire.

I hate being sick. I turn into such a whiny child. I want my mommy to make me PB&J cut up into tiny little squares (she called them "pops") and Campbell's vegetable soup with extra added veggies.
