February 2, 2009: Assorted miscellany
Here's an addendum to today's Monday Music. I mention it here because it's a complete 180 from noir or soundscapes. Still great, though.
I found out today that Google had deceived me (horrors! and after the every-site-is-harmful debacle, too!) and the songless* Bullet & Snowfox site isn't the real one. Or maybe it is. I don't know. But there's another one, with the full versions of the songs on their webisode.
If I didn't officially crown them the spiritual successors to Shut Up Stella, I'm doing it now. I cannot listen to "Little Liar" without getting out of my chair, dancing, jumping around, and looking pretty ridiculous. (Good thing I'm writing this from home and not in the coffee shop!) Considering I've been in the funk of all funks lately, this is quite the accomplishment.
* It's not technically songless anymore. It's got "Get Into Heaven" on it now. I am confused.

- I apparently used the tag "lieature" somewhere on this blog. This irritates me just enough to mention, but not enough to go fix.
- I'm in the middle of watching The 10th Kingdom (I finished the first disc of the 3-disc set the other day). I really like it so far, even if certain characters, given a choice, always do the dumbest possible thing. I'm looking at you, Tony.
- A bit disappointed that Wikipedia came down on its blueful node. I mean, I saw it coming as soon as I got to it in the first place, but still. At least it didn't get vandalized.
I still need to resist the urge to keep poking around chapter 1 of Blue Lacuna. It didn't help that the game called me a newcomer for poking too little. As a story/puzzle sorter, it's spot-on, but as a newcomer/expert sorter, it doesn't work. It called Emily Short a newcomer, enough said.
Newcomer or not, I'm amazed at the sheer depth of implementation I'm uncovering. The writing's not bad either. I'll have more coherent thoughts when I see more of it.
