Lou's home sick today. Said he has spent about 20 minutes awake, in increments, today when he called for me to bring him home some Sprite and N'ice.

Turns out Artemis wouldn't let him cover up his face. She's done this before. Any time Lou accidentally or purposefully pulled the blankets up over his face, she came over and reached out her paw and patted his face, or his head, or his hand. Basically making a nuisance of herself until he uncovered his face, then she's okay.

Annoying? Maybe. Cute as all hell? Sure. She wants to make sure her human is alive and well and BREATHING.

Deal with it, sick boy.

Cassandra Claire has written very amusing "secret diaries" of the Fellowship of the Ring characters.

Be warned, they're slashy, though very funny. Don't take them seriously, and start at the bottom to get all the references.

Spotted on Dave's blog, though Cassandra's Harry Potter fanfic is a recent favorite of mine. I'm still not done with Draco Sinister, though I'm going slowly and savoring it, because I know that she's not done with the follow-up, Draco Veritas, yet.

Cassie has new entries in her Very Secret LotR diaries. Merry's made me laugh hysterically out loud, and Gimli's (which I read a few days ago) had me from the Grr. Argh.

This is just too funny for words. Read the whole thing. Go on. You know you want to.

My Very Secret MacOSX Diary

This was posted on Slashdot while I was on vacation, and I only found via a MacSlash comment and reading that person's weblog.

Sauron's diary. It may be the last one she writes until The Two Towers comes out. Suspect she is burning out, other duties being neglected.

But still....

Go Cassie!

You know you've been playing/watching too much FFX when...

In the Thunder Plains, you run about and try to dodge lightning by hitting the X key before the bolt strikes. You can tell when the bolt is going to strike because the whole screen flashes white for a split second. In order to get one of the items needed to fully release the power of Lulu's legendary weapon, you need to dodge 200 consecutive lightning bolts.

Lou spent some time in the Plains tonight, trying to get Kimahri's legendary weapon, and got 10 consecutive dodges, without really trying. But when he started to try, he didn't do much better.

It's raining outside. There has been occasional lightning.

I looked at him after one of the flashes outside. He looked back at me, and grinned.

But I don't think he hit the X button.

This is just one of the strangest things I've ever seen.

I do not want to be misconstrued here...I am not saying that Christians are loonies. I'm saying that it's articles like this that can make others think Christians have no idea what they're talking about.

So, I was browsing my blog list, and noted that Wil Wheaton is recommending the SE of LotR:FotR. I click on it, just to see the cost. $25.99, not bad.

Then I scroll down the page. Now, just undeneath the "Customers who bought this DVD also bought:" section, I really pay attention to the next section.

"Customers who wear clothes also shop for:"

I had noted that Amazon was selling clothes before. I've seen this section, with its link to Clean Underwear. But I'd never read the header for the section.

I do assume that nudists may also buy from Amazon (the Internet is great for those who live clothing-free/clothing-optional), but I'd just never seen them so obviously excluded by Amazon before.

And hey, maybe nudists BUY clothes for their friends and relatives from Amazon's affiliated stores. This could be false promotion here. Amazon needs to tread carefully, it does.

6. Speaking of Orcs...

The Orcs were obviously stolen from PC game maker Blizzard and its Warcraft series. Too bad Blizzard is apparently too scared to sue New Line over it.

8. Gold: The Stretchy Element.

The ring, which is seen to be at least two inches in diameter at the beginning to fit the polish sausage-sized finger of Sauron, suddenly fits Frodo's child-sized finger later. I guess this movie takes place in a world where rings magically change sizes on their own.

Now I'm certain I should be taping InuYasha on Adult Swim.

At least for the bumps. Because according to what I heard, this was on a recent bump:

"Basically the Tetsiga transforms from a Katana to a Falchion,
that means that its damage increases from 1d10 to 2d8
and its threat range goes to 18-20
if you know what that means
you have a problem"

I've been taping Witch Hunter Robin (it's FINALLY gotten good, but I've missed so many episodes for a variety of reasons, I'm hoping they rerun it after it's done this run), and gotten Lou hooked on Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and Sealab: 2021.

And then there is the fact that InuYasha is a half-demon, and the NPC in Lou's ATD game is a half-demon named Yasha. *chuckles*

By the way, the shark would win.

And so would the astronauts.

I already knew that Curt Schilling, the Red Sox new ace pitcher, was a pretty neat guy. I mean, he owns Multi-Man Publishing, which publishes Advanced Squad Leader. And he's doing some really funny Dunkin Donuts commercials. Hearing him practice saying "Wicked Hard" in a New England/Boston accent is quite amusing.

And now, thanks to /., I find that last year he got two home runs scored on him because he killed a former teammate's Everquest character.

I think I'm going to have to fork over the cash to go to a Sox game this year. When Curt's pitching, of course.

This morning, Lou went out to get his car inspected and the oil changed. I stayed home, and just before Lou got back, I switched the station from Teen Titans (which had just fininshed) to Baby Animals and their Fuzzy Friends on the local PBS station. It's cute, a great fundraiser for PBS no doubt, and the classical music is soothing.

Lou comes in, and after some chatter and an attempt to find Artemis (successful), he sits down in his chair and pulls out the laptop. I've got my laptop on, and am checking LJ, occasionally looking up at the TV.

And finally, in the last five minutes of the program, my eye catches on Athena. Sitting in front of the TV, her head swiveled up, to look at it.

She's watching the TV. Literally. Watching the baby animals frolick about, turning her head only when they change from one segment to another, and then goes back to watching. And listening.

I tried really hard to contain my laughter. My first instinct is to pop up and grab the digital camera I borrowed from work. But I know that will disturb her, and she'll likely stop watching so intently. I hold in the laughter while pointing her out to Lou, who sees what I see. And eventually, the program ends and I let loose with chuckles that make my eyes water.

Eventually, she gives up since the baby animals aren't coming back, and wanders off.

But now I'm wondering...should I Replay this or find out if it's available on DVD, so I can buy it for my cat??
