I got the gaming bug fierce. I might have to bust out some Xbox.

The new fall season used to be cool, you know? You had great new shows to look forward to, nights spent in the tube glow of TV.

That’s all gone now. We have some new shows, but we watch them when we will because of TiVo or BitTorrent. Seasons are, more and more, becoming meaningless. The networks are slowly realizing this. When they grab this idea then, maybe, maybe, they will get the message.

The viewer dictates content.

Look I knew this a couple of years ago but it is only really coming home now. Every girl that I look in a movie and think ‘wow, she’s hot’ is actually young enough to be my daughter (if I had any). That is an odd disconnect, I’m my head I am like 23 at the oldest. Body informs differently.

Still, I’m never going to look at hot chicks the same way again.

*sigh*

Hey gang I’ve got a newish MacBook with bluetooth mouse and office software I am trying to sell. It has hardly been used. I am asking $750 for it.

I re-read Max Brook’s ‘World War Z’ last weekend. I loved the book way more the second time. If you haven’t read it and like horror fiction I couldn’t reccomend it highly enough. It is not just a great book about zombies, it is a great book about how people respond to and succeed or fail in the face of serious catastrophe.

It has moments of sadness, horror and triumph that is just not to be missed. I really look forward to what Max will do next.

I watched Dr. Horrible for the umpteenth time and got something that was probably obvious to you all but unevaluated. This is very much a coming of age story. Doc gets every thing he wants, Billy is banished (almost, almost). Where does he go though from there? The things that made him want to rule; his frustration, his anger…those were tied to his humanity (Billy) those got burned away when Penny died. So now he just wants to rule to rule. Just madness control for control sake.

So where does that leave ol’ Doc? We see at the end of the series there is still some sparks of Billy left. I’m really interested to see where the crew goes forward with this one. I hope Billy wins.

I’m making a habanero salsa that will be pure distilled Satan in a jar. It will bring forth blazing wickedness on this earth and nations shall tremble.

I’m having a joyus bout of insomnia weekend. Dearest girlfriend pointed out the Tim Burton-esque dark circles under my eyes. The cool part would be if I was doing something productive with this wakefulness, the obvious part is that I am not.

I’m twittering. You can find me there, unsuprisingly, as Kaosdevice.

While I like iO9 man they have some stupid ideas over there now and then. Check out the thread on rebooting Farscape ‘darker’ for example. This isn’t a jealousy thing or anything, but I think RevSF is every bit as good a website as those guys. Unfortunately Rev isn’t part of the Gawker network and doesn’t have that wonderful flux o’cash that (and advertising) brings.

I don’t know if Rev should adopt advertising (in fact I don’t know their stance on it at all). I do know that a lot of talented people give their time freely to provide articles, posts, blogs and so forth to the place. I know I’ve had article ideas but a combination of lifestuff, laziness and lollygaggery has derailed me (I’ve had some RPG reviews I’ve meant to write). Maybe I should knock that off and pitch in.

Still, would RevSF work under the business model?
