Linkage foo

I think kay_willow was saying something like this just the other day.

Am I the only person running anything more powerful than an AppleIIE under the age of 50 with a visual acuity greater than 20/200 who has not played the Sims, either version? Or DDR? Not that I'm coordinated enough to play DDR. I'd probably just end up falling flat on my face.

I don't know whether this will make branwynelf feel any better about the hockey lockout or not. It seems kind of weird to me.

And damnit, I want to see this exposition on the art of computer viruses. Argh.

Now there will be breakfast and coffee and the weekly brainteaser (I always have coffee when I do the brainteaser, everyone knows that!) and finishing of this week's non_plot piece which I finally had a brainwave about yesterday. And the reading of Terry Pratchett. I think I'd like a nice shiny unread Terry Pratchett novel in a box with a little rubber hammer next to it (that squeaked) and a sign that said 'in case of bad day break glass'. Yes. What a fine idea.

The Things We Do For Love (non_plot challenge #34, 'confession')

This piece has been driving me nuts all week. I hate half formed ideas that keep getting away on you.
These are, incidentally, Josh's parents, when his mother was young and (by her own admission) stupid and (also by her own admission) smitten to death with the mysterious silent Chris Everett from Out West. His father is what some might call a 'man of few words'. Most men of few words look positively talkative next to this guy. On an entirely personal note, if anyone has the 10CC version of the song I stole the title from, can you let me know? I've had it in my head for two days, damnit.
