'I hate six inches. Six inches is really hard.' by Kara

Late to work this morning on account of my Interbutt at home was down ... so I stayed home to get it fixed so I'd be (at least relatively) sure it'd be up when I got home.

I have to admit, though ... whenever my 'trons go down at home anymore, I'm paranoid that they've pinged me for torrenting. Does this stop me? No. Does this make me an idiot? Definitely.

As I've mentioned briefly in another rant, I've discovered that my red cabbage allergy actually applies to all sorts of cabbage. Well, at least now I know. After being rather unpleasantly ill again.

Oh, and another late-breaking link. The Co-Writer with the Longest Hair has sent me a link to this. Now, Penny Arcade did a comic about 'Gamer Grub', and I wasn't terribly bothered ... until they did this ridiculous racing thing.

Granted, general indignance does very little, especially coming from me. But really ... why encourage these people? Maybe it's just the fact that I'm too restless a person to sit playing a game so involved that a) I'll get unbearably hungry and b) I'll be so enthralled that I can't get up to make something. I'm not sure how against the general demographic it is. Now, wasabi and honey-mustard does sound tasty, but this ain't the way to get me to buy it.

I don't consider myself a 'gamer' per se (I just got a DS a few months ago and a PS2 even more recently, but it does bother me that the general view is such that companies want to market perfectly possibly-good snacks this way. It claims that it 'boosts your core gaming systems—such as visual input, cognitive processing, signal transmission and muscle reflexes.' You know what else'll do that? Eating properly. I would be annoyed at the implications, but ... well ... ordering pizza on WoW. What can I say.

If you have been, make it die.
