If, like me, you have a sceptical take on things, you could do a lot worse than to subscribe to What's New.

Seeking unstable woman for drama driven love/hate relationship

Ok, so about three of you demanded it.

Here is a Salon article on the portrayal of homosexuality in computer games - particularly in massively multiplayer ones. Sparked by the internal discussions by the creators of Lord of the Rings Online over whether to allow same-sex marriages, but taking in some other interesting stuff too.

If you like the whole "electronic music" thing then you could do a lot worse than check out Tam's mixes here.

octopoid_horror tagged me for this back in February, and I'm finally working my way back through my emails to that point...

Guilt	What is yours?	Explain yourself
Culinary:	KFC	I can't help it. There's something about the smell that calls to me. Not that I give in often, or that it ever lives up to it. But Mmmmmmm.
Literary:	None	Don't think I have any of this. I'm the guy sat happily at work with both The Economist and The Series of Unfortunate Events on my desk.
Audiovisual:	Babylon 5	Yes, the first season's not great. Yes, chunks of it are cheesy beyond measure. Yes, the special effects are dated. But I own it in a great big box set and some day I'm going to get a few people together and watch the whole damn thing over a few weeks.
Musical:	Spiceworld	I love it. My flatmate Hal played it a lot back in, ooh, 1997, and I became addicted. It's such a fantastic cheesy album.
Celebrity:	Jennifer Aniston	Like all wrong-thinking people I vaccilated endlessly over which of the Friends women I'd pick, but it wasn't until I saw Office Space and The Good Girl that I fell for Jennifer Aniston.
