I'm reading an article on the internet about hiring, not firing.

Infinite Jest, Infinite Jest, Infinite Jest. It's the only one you need on there. It kept me enthralled for four months. It is worth it. (If they have space limits for Kindle storage though—I don't know if they give you doc files or something fancier—take care. It's 1079 pages long.)

Sleep's good but in the brief stirrings for sustenance may I suggest these um....things that look like perogis but are stuffed with pink sakura-flavored stuff with an applesauce-like texture? that are popular right now. I mean okay sure, they're empty calories, but so, so good. And they won't be around much longer I…

With regard to the DSiWare shop, does it then stamp a region on a system previously cross-regional? If I were to by my DSi in Japan, where I currently live, and use the DSiWare shop here, would I still be able to use the upcoming NA shop upon my return?

@Magnum_PI: Perhaps there will be hills.

"but, since this is fan fiction, I mean, yeah, probably a he"

In my four-mat room. While trying not to become claustrophobic. But the whole screen-as-window-to-outside-world thing only works for so long.

Best Valentine I ever received was from a shit-broke boy who folded old copies of White Dwarf (the diorama pages, therefore the green ones) and a neon pink If You Smoke Pot We Will Catch You friendly warning slip from the University into an origami rose+stem+leaves. This from someone who could not braid three strings…

Wow, you remember Westwood? Legend of Kyrandia for the win...

I don't know, it could be someone paying someone to pump some other persons' economic ego so the shares stop dropping? Not that a newspaper article is the most brilliant way to do that, but you know, in moments of panic...

@Xer0Ph0kus: Really? I stopped playing shortly before the 7th edition came out. What happened?

"No one can out-manuever the wily Skaven."

Oh, I wish I had a console at my disposal on which to play this—but alas, anything bigger than a breadbox got left behind when I left the country. My sister has Persona 3, though, and will no doubt have 4 by the time I return, and this very much makes me want to hunker down for a good few weeks with either game. …

Pointing to the E-rating? Because saying "Islam is the light" even if the baby did in fact verifiably say that mucks with it? The E rating?

Yes, I was going to say, as I suppose has been said, Revolutionary Road was fantastically necessary. And The Reader, while it hasn't opened here yet, very much impressed those I know who've seen it.

I know zilch when it comes to corporate arenas, so if someone could enlighten me...what are the nitty gritty details of the problems that would result of an on-time release?
