@BlueTyson Really? What’s it called?

@charlesatan Right, but also… Moura Budberg? Like, wow. Andrea Lynn tears her to bits in _Shadow Lovers: The Last Affairs of HG Wells_…

I usually don’t twitter posts, but this one on Korean internet/gaming moral panic in media/government seems popular: http://is.gd/b4u9B

Yes, this is research for a story, but more importantly: my Uni has HG Wells in Love in the stacks. WTF?

Who knew: HG Wells’ love/sex life makes for interesting, if wince-inducing, reading.

@nkjemisin Ha, well, it certainly didn’t start well! I’m basically glad one can’t get that channel here.

@TheWilliamG Well, I never played Neverwinter Nights, but online gaming is different than tabletop, more suited to that kind of thing.

@TheWilliamG Ha, with the right group, there’s very little of that. But sometimes, oh man… yeah.

Missing the days of GMing Wraith: The Oblivion all of a sudden. Hm. Gonna brew some IPA today. And laundry.

@jeremiahtolbert 🙂 You’re way better than merely average, homeslice.

@jeremiahtolbert only briefly?

@captJayway Don’t know the phrase. 지정사=That state where all my students become zombies, that lasts about a week? Midterms week state?

@captJayway Hmm. I’ll try brew up some IPA tomorrow. Likely won’t be ready for mid-April, but could be ready for late April. Possibly…

@captJayway I should have more new beer in a month or so, and it’ll be worth the wait!

@captJayway Yeah, DMs in English are shorter. 🙂 Less info. Sounds cool. Hmmm. were you thinking of this summer, or sooner?

@JamesTurnbull Never seen Blake’s 7, but I can report similarly vivid memories of things like Dukes of Hazzard and Twilight Zone…

@captJayway 고마워요! BTW DM 봤어요?

“One should be careful when drawing life lessons from science fiction stories,” was my response. 🙂

“I learned that intelligence doesn’t matter and I don’t need to just study hard, instead I need friends and jokes and fun in my life.” Er…

Btw when I taught “Flowers for Algernon” today and asked, “What did you learn from this story” (meaning writing technique) the answer was…

(No, no, I don’t think saving cans will help. Hydroponics? Um… dubious. Hellllloooooo tropics!)

Snowing again? Hmmm. Time to start saving cans and mastering hydroponics before the next ice age hits.

@maureenmcq Hahaha Dog koan. Ah, the memories.

@CarolineYoachim Yup. The most recent one had this whole kicking tendency developed, too, along with wriggling. Fun to make him dance,but…

@CarolineYoachim For me, it was the prospect of DROPPING a baby that formed by deepest fear about holding one.

@CarolineYoachim Ah. Well, the babies I’ve played with were less fresh off the… shelf? … but I never had that particular fear! 🙂

@CS_sean True. But one suspects the news never gets as far as the fatcats and their cigar-smoke soaked offices.

@CarolineYoachim Wow, that’s a scary but also very particularized fear. Any chance baby books played a role? Mine are more ambiguous.

@StevenWard @CS_sean But it’s mostly KT’s fault, so… argh!

@CS_sean @StevenWard Exactly. I don’t understand why they don’t want my money. Well, not all their fault. National telecom regulations too.

@sarahcalderwood Because of Korea? My first attempt detailed here: http://www.gordsellar.com/2010/03/20/getting-an-iphone-part-i/

SHINE excerpt — my story! : “Sarging Rasmussen: A Report by Organic” http://bit.ly/csK0ac

And will be heading into Seoul again, this time to pick up a book and some foreign (ie. real) cheese.

Tons of wild hops, also. Wow, hops selection is so much broader now.

Yay, my homebrew stuff arrived today! I think I shall make myself a batch of IPA tomorrow morning… jaggery IPA!

@StevenWard Though, to be honest, I suppose there are other people I could ask for help.

@StevenWard No idea. Not sure it’ll be practicable for a while… the person who’s said she’ll help me is overseas for a while now.

@TheWilliamG exactly…

@TheWilliamG if I could read my email, the subway would be tolerable. Seriously. 🙂

@KateSherrod Indeed. I thinnk I shall cuss him out on my website sooner or later. Though I really blame/curse Rona Jaffe. http://is.gd/aO9WU

@TheWilliamG I like the interface and the 3G and got used to my iPod, and other smartphones here are crap. *shrug* Never played iPod PacMan.

Did it before once. Unemployed rocker friend was a lower credit risk than I, a mere professor. Hmmm.

Will be getting iPhone, just, probably, piggybacking on a Korean’s account, because it’s cheaper and less headache.

Well, maybe I’m getting old, but I don’t feel like fighting anymore. Foreigners getting iPhones too ridiculously convoluted. So dumb.

@KateSherrod ha, in mockery I hope? Curse you, Young Tom Hanks, for doing that horrid film.

@captJayway Ooops, retweeted, but yeah, it was good times. 🙂

@CarolineYoachim (I mean, scared to touch in case I break “it”…)

@CarolineYoachim I feel that way about babies…

Watching MAZES & MONSTERS while I work. Early D&D Moral Panic film. Weirdly, it got the idiotically oppressive parents right. Hmmmm.
