* Installed twitterbar on both my laptop and work Firefox browsers, so I can do it more often than "when I think to check my phone and Twitter account."

* Partially that's because I'm preparing to leave tomorrow for ICC, and I want to see if I can "live blog" the convention through Twitter.

* And partially it's because there's a certain amount of strange shit that happens in my life, and I want to see how much of it I can capture.

* Planning to play G.T. a fair bit at ICC. Will probably play Jack Spade a bit, but right now it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Jack or Aspasia to be hanging around large Kindred gatherings for a long period of time.

* Picked up a couple of books this weekend - yet another anthology of Sherlock Holmes pastiches, and Night Watch by Sergey Lukyanenko - to flip through when I'm not working at ICC and on the LARP Cruise. I'll let y'all know how they are.

* Also picked up a new Xbox 360 to replace the dead one we've had for a couple of years now. Got a lot of good Gears of War action in over the weekend. Also got a Halo 3 collector Master Chief helmet and stand that I gave to Chaney as a present.

* I missed Raw last night. I'll have to catch up next week.

I enjoyed Night Watch. It's definitely something different.

I've read all three of the Watch books, and I was impressed with all of them. Very good urban fantasy with a definite WoD vibe to it. If you want to borrow Daywatch and Twilight Watch after you finish Nightwatch, let me know.


Just don't watch the movies for Day Watch and Night Watch unless you're
A) drunk
and
B) trying to waste a few hours of your life on purpose

Are we talking "Plan Nine From Outer Space" bad or "Ultraviolet" bad?

Hrm... "Plan Nine From Outer Space" bad I think. Some of the special are cool but between the two movies you end up with parts of all three books with no apparent good reason for why they mashed them all together like that.

Personally, I really liked Nightwatch *and* the movie's.

The book gave me a new lens through which to view the conceptuals for a Unified WoD game. Excellent stuff.

The movies, I thought, were a great bit of fun. They are absolutely not american films and thus have some oddities. But I thought they did a very good job.
