I think the preferred term is “gaming,” but I don’t feel the need to whitewash it. I am a kwalitee monger.

Tonight, I was struck by an urge to JFDI. For a long time, I’ve wanted a better way to organize my Netflix queue. There used to be Netflix Freak, which was decent, but cost money, and I think it went away. I think it had other problems, I just can’t remember anymore.

I really like the Venture Brothers. The show has only fifteen episodes, and I have a TiVo. This should make it easy to see all of them. Ha!

I had a weird dream last night. I was writing test code for mailing list software – which is what I’ve been doing at work – and somehow found myself engaging in a game based on list subscribers. It would have had to be a computer game, you’d think, but instead it was more like soccer. You’d reach down into a manhole, pull out a subscriber, and position them. There was a limit as to how many subscribers you could put on your side of the pitch. While setting up my side, I found out a weird little exception: orphan children counted for less than a full person, so you could really line the goal line with them.

This looks really cool, and like something that I’d really enjoy playing around with, but I can’t imagine dropping a hundred bucks on it, especially if I can’t get a free trial first!

Today, we made it through three more episodes of Six Feet Under. They were good. We also watched The Man with the Screaming Brain. Actually, I watched it. Gloria watched most of it, but then wisely decided to go read instead. It’s a lousy movie, and I’m sort of depressed by that. I did make some progress on some other things, though.

We went out to dinner with my parents tonight. We went to Nawab, the local Indian place. They had coupons for two-for-one entrees, which said, “Cannot be combined with other coupons. One coupon per person per visit.” The waitress would only take one coupon, though, saying that the “cannot be combined” meant that only one coupone could be used for the entire party of four. This totally blew. My mom was treating, so she got stuck for an extra twelve bucks or so.

I keep forgeting this, and every time I need to know I look here before resorting to Google. So, to save myself a step in the future:

Today was pretty relaxed, as Saturdays should be. We split a chocolate coconut milkshake, walked around downtown just a little, and came home to do some DVD watching. First we watched disc two of season two of Dead Like Me. It bugs me that they cancelled this show, especially because I’m assuming that the last episode won’t wrap things up. (Please don’t tell me, thanks.)

There is not a good terminal for use with Mac OS X, as far as I can tell.
