I saw Watchmen last night, at the 4:30 show. I was on an adrenaline high from the get go till 30 minutes after the movie was over (at which point I was wiped out beyond reason).

Recently, I've been giving some thought to the David Sirlin article series, 'Playing To Win'.  Sirlin makes a number of points in the articles- I'll summarize them here, for ease of discussion (heh, as though anyone reads this thing...). The links to the full articles- including the third, which makes the same point I make- are included at the ( Read more... )

I call myself Maxwell Hydragyrum. I work as more or less a jack-of-all-trades, but the sign on my door brands me as a private investigator- although I also do great party planning. On the morning of the day on which this tale takes place, I was ruminating on my family- and it's a very large one, believe me. We're originally from the Mediterranean ( Read more... )

I dunno how many of you people even read my entries on your friends page anymore, but it's useful for the purposes of announcements ( Read more... )

It's kinda weird. I finished the last Harry Potter book last night.  The book was alright, with one phenomenal chapter near the end.  I would say that the entire book would be worth reading, even if it were evenly mediocre, for that one chapter.  That aside, though, it got me thinking ( Read more... )
