Somewhere, in the box of shameful records hidden in the attic, is an ICP album.

Take him to… Detroit!

Did you find Children of Dune (book, rather than mini-series) in any way comprehensible? I really struggled with that one, at least the first time through (second time I think I just went with it).

'Fraid not. I don't think I've seen the Graham Norton show in about 15 years. Was Cumberbatch good on it? And does Graham Norton still have a running joke about "Betty's Tongue"?

@avclub-ec26fc2eb2b75aece19c70392dc744c2:disqus - unless you have a PS3, of course. (Ok, to be fair, games work to start with on the PS3, just some of them start getting really glitchy towards the endgame. I'm looking at you Fallouts 3 and New Vegas).

That's a quiet week and weekend with very little pop culture?

I really like "Foundations" but found "Pumpkin Soup" so desperately irritating that I never paid any more attention. Sounds like that may have been a mistake.

I've spent many, many hours of my life on Civ 2 (including, recently, that Eternal War thing that made the news) but never moved on to the later ones. Civ 5 might be the one to make me take the leap.

I went on a Northern England train-based pub crawl. Many ales were consumed.
