    It seems to be working. There's just that slightly worrying smell that could either be extremely burnt croissant.. or burnt wiring. I can't quite figure which...

    I agreed to dog sit for my sister. What I ended up with was an overlarge, rambunctious german shepard that decided to whine, paw me, and do the jiggy-jiggy dance to go out in the garden roughly every 30-40 minutes through the night. And of course he actually needed to pee every time, so it's not like I could easily ignore him from then on. Of course, that had me somewhat stumble-minded in the morning, so I put the kettle on for a cup of tea, decided to nuke a croissant, went to the toilet..and came back to find I'd put the croissant in for 2 minutes instead of 20 seconds..and I'd grabbed one of the plates with the metal rim to put it on.....

    Well, frankly the whole thing is set up by several variant cultures from quite different backgrounds that have a few hundred years of history driving the various elements. Okay, to be fair, it's more like a millennia and some loose change of history driving it all. Sure, the last 20 years of global politics are much more distinct in shaping it, but a lot of the slow, grinding, driving forces have been laid down for a whole heap of time.

    Hitman Agent 47 It was surprisingly good for a game-to-movie adaption. As a stand alone action flick I'd rate it. It has some fairly well done characters, a bit of tension, and some nicely choreographed action sequences, plus a couple of small twists just to add to it.

    I once read a Star Wars novel set after the original trilogy. They killed Chewbacca, and I threw it in the trash after that. Yes, the whole.. New Order setting and the Yuuzhan Vong was very.. offputting. They had some interesting ideas, but as a whole that part of the EU got very warped and messy. Frankly, the Thrawn Trilogy, some of the Jedi Academy related series, and a few others were pretty damn good. Just there were a lot more flawed than polished gems that did turn up.

    And for the other dissonance.. the Westboro Baptist Church are also joining in on the hate of said clerk.. They're hammering her for not having repented adultery and that she should get back to her first husband because if she was a good and devout Christian she wouldn't be living in sin with another man..since a true Christian wouldn't recognise divorce or remarriage while the first husband is alive.

    Mancy means divination by means of something. So, can you tell the future from corpses? If I recall well enough, it was originally nigromancy, and was more on the art of communication and divination using the deceased. The zombies and animating the dead came later...

    For the fun ending to my weekend, I went online to check my bank stuff and deal with monthly bills.. and found out that despite being repeatedly told that I would get 8 weeks of the Carers Allowance paid following the death of the person I cared for (thus giving me some time to reorganise my life) in fact they stopped paying it the moment I told them my mother had died. So I have three weeks of missing funds. So I'm foreseeing the joys of starting my week tomorrow with government bureaucracy and phone calls....

    Now, did I glance at a wrong headline or has the clerk now claimed they shouldn't be able to send her to an all woman jail because "they" are trying to break her will, because those jails are full of lesbians? The things that social media newsfeeds stream across that you really try to avoid paying attention to.....
