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

So. If you could develop a video game of the type where you're immersed in a 3-D environment (like a first-person-shooter, or FPS), what would you develop?

I ask because I downloaded this:

UDK is Unreal Engine 3 – the complete professional development framework. All the tools you need to create great games, advanced visualizations and detailed 3D simulations. The best tools in the industry are in your hands.

And I'm looking for ideas.

One idea is to create the interior of Serenity, so you could move from room to room. Of course that would be a shitload of work. Another idea is a game set in an office, where one of your goals is to avoid Tino.

Buffista lawyers and legal researchers. My Mom remembers her father filing a precedenting Veterans Benefits case in Los Angeles (Federal courts) between 1924 and 1926. Father's name was Cary Meyerson. She'd like to look up the case to figure out if it was really precedent setting or whether that part is just family legend. Am I looking for Meyerson VS. U.S. ? How would I find it, especially how would I find it if it was NOT a significant precedent, if was just routine? For that matter, once I find it, how do I tell if it was an important precedent?

I gave the cranberry sauce a try, but next time I think I'll just save that as a side and put some mustard on the sandwich. I have a very limited range of tolerance for combining sweet and savory flavors in the same mouthful, and those ingredients don't seem to fall within it.

Art Crawl!!!

Thanks, you guys.

So far, no cake - but I did have Banana Split Pancakes for uh . . . lunch.

That probably counts, right?

hee! I would so play that.

Ugh. So tiredness is setting in again. I'm a little worried that I won't make it through teaching tomorrow.

Paula Deen is making deep-fried cranberry sauce on my tv. There are so many things wrong with that I can't even begin.

I have a sudden craving for French toast. Maybe I'll make that for dinner.

I remember being a kid and thinking that when I was an adult I could eat anything I wanted for any meal—pie for lunch and so on. Now that I'm a grownup I should take advantage of that more often. Of course, sometimes what I genuinely want is salad. Not tonight, though.
