In 'hmm' news, the James SA Corey book series, the Captives War, is being adapted for TV. You may recognise JSAC as the creators of the Expanse. I read the first book a few months ago and it was good, but didn't really click for me. The basic premise, here's a planet full of humans doing its thing. Aliens invade and take people useful to another planet, tell them to do their useful thing for us now. The focus is on a group of scientists. Somewhat inspired by the Book of Daniel from the Bible. It isn't just people staring into microscopes for half the book, there's also the usual interpersonal drama and trying to understand exactly what's expected of them. Anyway, I'm somewhat curious at this stage, but I haven't quite bought into the hype. A project to watch.

If it was up to me, I'd be tempted to use the racer. Good thing it isn't. :)

Interesting! Might be worth a watch. I like the satire we got, but there's certainly room for multiple interpretations.

If you want a somewhat faithful adaptation of the book, go watch Aliens. If you want to see Verhoeven make fun of nazis, watch Starship Troopers. No, I've never seen the TV series, sequel, or games.

"Romans go home."

It's a great tune, but I still can't find any desire to actually go see the movie.

One I like is defeating biometric scanners. Like, putting the person's hand on the scanner after they've been killed, or removing someone's eyeball. Macabre, but it always makes me smile. Of course, I've also seen bits of wire jammed into important sockets or making a mask of someone's face. It's all good fun.

Yeah, boxing day here. I have a while to consider it.

I'm more interested in primates than Robbie Williams, so I'm actually considering this. Not sure the monkey angle is enough, though.

There's a public bathroom I often use. Recently it's started playing classical music. I recognise the William Tell Overture and Beethoven's 5th symphony. So far I haven't been able to sync up with the soundtrack, but it's only a matter of time...

I play games, though I'm not a woman and and I'm generally a pretty antisocial gamer. Good luck with it, though!

Kurn has gone to Sto-vo-kor. RIP Tony Todd, age 69. Far too soon.

Birthday went well! Gift most appreciated! Purely by coincidence, now I know what to get my sister for christmas. One down...

Mexican metal band Cemican have a 45 minute live set up! Really a show worth watching. Not often you see human sacrifice on stage. Also, is that Tom Araya from Slayer in the audience around 21.30? So very cool.

He's not the best, but I just want some action!
