a game with added reality
Sunday, 27 February 2011 09:41 amOh, lord. Stv lent me his Best of Nouvelle Vague CD, and my Sunday morning is currently rendered delightful by Depeche Mode covered bossanova-style. It's giving me the giggles. Genre-bending self-consciously ironic postmodern re-interpretation ftw. Also, yet another Loot order. Sigh. But they cover "Bela Lugosi's Dead"! How can I not?
I am doing Random Linkery, just because. Also, because the Hobbit is currently asleep with his paw and head on my left wrist, nodding gently as I type, and I suspect his presence is accounting for the cat-heavy inclination of the linkage.
Now I shall go back to my Sunday morning quest, which is to discover a good, free, desktop media player which isn't Windows Media Player and which doesn't attempt to infest my hard-drive with advertising gumph as a condition of download. (VLC Player and ClickPotato, I'm looking at you with considerable disfavour). Anyone have any recommendations? It transpires that the weird distort I'm getting from my speakers is purely and simply about WMP, everything is playing perfectly through Media Player Classic, but it's a bit minimalist and doesn't seem to show playlists.

- This has to be staged. It's clearly a cynical Hollywood propaganda attempt to assist and focus the currently rather random and diverse rise of a young star. James Franco: actor, poet, artist, English Masters student, and asleep with kittens. I mean, please.

strawberryfrog, the cat/human social contract. "A human and a cat can mutually develop complex ritualized interactions that show substantial mutual understanding of each other's inclinations and preferences." Like the interplay where Hobbit, asleep on my wrist, has just woken up, bitten me, licked me lovingly, and then gone back to sleep. I feel... confused and slightly betrayed, but affectionate, which come to think of it is the characteristic of a lot of my actual romantic relationships, anyway. Hmmm. - Not about cats, as I attempt to re-assert my individuality in the face of relentless feline control. Instead, superheroes! Mightygodking talks about the sigificance of Superman. Excellent post; the ones on Lex and Lois are also worth following through.
