One down, four to go.

Have you ever been working on a project, attempted to save it… only to lose all of your work? I did, this morning. A couple of hours’ work went down the tubes when I wound up overwriting some files that I’d been working on. *braincramp* I was able to recreate the files fairly easily, but I was still annoyed at having to do so. (And I did discover what I had done incorrectly that caused me to overwrite the files… so that I hopefully won’t make that mistake again.)

Tonight was an extra session of D&D. Our party ventured into the tower of a wizard. A wizard with a BIG axe to grind against our party’s benefactor and one of our party members… who, by a not-so-strange twist of genetic fate, is our benefactor’s daughter. But, in the words of Bill Murray’s Dr. Peter Venkman: “We came. We saw. We kicked its ass.” And no one died.

    riptalon writes “Dan Brown, the author of The Da Vinci Code, is being sued in the UK for using ideas from a previous non fiction book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail in his novel. The Bangkok Post states that ‘The question the court is facing is whether you can copyright an idea, a conjecture.'”

  • I was listening to music at work this afternoon and had a horrible image pop into my head: Bobby Darin’s Rockin’ Robin came into the shuffled mp3 lineup. I had gotten about halfway through the song when the image of Teen Titans Robin and Raven (both of whose namesakes are birds that are mentioned in the song) popped into my head. Swing dancing. Together. It was sad…. and a little scary. Even worse: It took me a couple of minutes to stop chuckling about it.
  • I saw this quiz in ‘ journal and was intrigued. I took it and came up with:
