Moore Slams V For Vendetta Movie, Pulls LoEG from DC Comics: "'They seemed to believe that the head of 20th Century Fox called me up and persuaded me to steal this screenplay, turning it into a comic book which they could then adapt back into a movie, to camouflage petty larceny.' This led to Moore giving a ten-hour deposition -- he believes he'd have suffered less if he'd 'sodomised and murdered a busload of children after giving them heroin.'" [via bOING bOING] I must say, the V movie looks a bit less compelling now.
And Kitten War, for those who haven't met their now-i-ded-from-cute quota.
Had a post written on Satyrday about the previous week and the power failure. Then Dana ate it. *sigh*

ndkid I have a temporary job doing testing at VirPack, starting tomorrow. The way the rain is coming down outside the sky may actually be falling, or I may show up tomorrow at ten to have someone say "Whoops, our bad." Guess we'll see. It'll be odd getting back to computerwork again. I can only hope that my general optimism and ebullience will carry me further than they did last time.
Been pondering Daoism, reading Raymond Smullyan's The Tao is Silent, and trying to get thoughts in order. I think that wants a post all its own, though, and probably not 'til I've finished the book.
Playing Battletech/Mechwarrior; Ross and I are running a (3025-era) mercenary company called Two Guys And A Dropship. We're in the middle of our first fight, and I suspect our light lance is in the process of getting cut to ribbons. *sigh* I have (re)learned a few things, though. Like don't shoot 'til you see the whites of their eyes, and there's no such thing as overkill.
Few are wholly dead.

Also, the C-burg Target has a bunch of remaindered hardbacks for a quarter (at least, they were a quarter on Sunday. They may be off discount and all the way up to a buck now). I got myself a book by Caroline Stevermer (half of Sorcery and Cecilia), Margaret Cho's I'm the One That I Want, and a cute photo/quotes book of Overheard At the Bookstore.
