Obviously there needs to be a crossover episode.

I'm reading a biography of Garibaldi. It is titled, imaginatively, Garibaldi. It's actually a pretty ripping yarn. Also depressing — if the author is to be believed, during the Uruguayan Civil War, the Blancos and Argentinians were straight up murdering prisoners of war, and the Colorados weren't much better…

I had a French Single Malt Whisky last week called Brenne. Apparently when the French make whisky, they make that whisky taste kind of like blueberries. It's nice but will throw you for a loop if you were expecting Scotch.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Vader and Luke are the same person!!!!

You can neg me all you like, I still won't sleep with you.

#NotAllMen with fedoras are MRAs!

"a visionary young writer creates a science fiction series that tells stories no one else will dare to tell"

The HR office at a former job had a motivational poster showing the Great Wall of China and a caption something like, "Many hands, one goal."

The Six-Gun Tarot. I picked it up from the library as a bit of fluff to read on the train to work. It reads like someone wrote a novel about characters from Deadlands and/or World of Darkness campaigns they'd played, and the book seems to be trying to squeeze in elements from something like a dozen different…

How subtle.

He doesn't need molded plastic to improve his physique. Pure. West.

One of the reasons I like Les Stroud is actually because he's prepared to say, "If I don't get out of here now, I might die." And then he gets out of there.

I've become a stranger to myself. I'm bald now. I've always been bald. I merely dreamt of having hair.

(That said, I did an image search for Seitan and in a lot of the pictures it's very spongy-looking. So maybe that's more common than I thought!)

I got the smoked tofu at one of the local Asian supermarkets (H-Mart). It is awesome — it is reminiscent of a smoked Gouda. If you can find some, try it!

I've been making myself miso soup on the days that I telecommute. It is very tasty and filling. Proper miso base, scallions, fresh ginger if I have any, some sort of mushroom stock (fresh mushrooms if I have some that need cooking, rehydrated shitakes if I remember to start them soaking early enough, otherwise the…

I'll have to check that out — I think it would provide a valuable counterpoint.

I'm reading The Life and Death of the Spanish Republic. It was written by a British journalist who covered Spain during the 30s and was present during the Spanish Civil war. I was expecting something fairly detached and dry, probably with a lot of footnotes, but the book is actually a very subjective, personal account…

I watched it on my Roku. When I opened the channel, it immediately began playing some video with a porn star or somesuch. Also, the rewind function worked, sort of, but it gave me zero feedback as to how far back I had scanned.
