I need to get back to experimenting with Blood Bowl. Haven't in a couple of months.

An Adventure in Space and Time. The dramatization of Doctor Who's beginnings, the first female producer and the first indian director in the BBC, along with William Hartnell's journey as the first doctor. Some interesting bits and pieces, they made the initial scripts and stuff very fast, background things, but focused on the characters of the people involved.

Just having a late night nibble of a mini stollen slice. Trying to decide why they're so more-ish.

Punting along on web design stuff. Trying to create the css scaffolding to have 5 divs : header, footer, left, right and center, but of course the moment I try to put in the center everything goes weird. Tried to use % for all the height and width stuff rather then firm px, but that's bouncing oddly as it goes. Someone advised me to learn how to use bootstrap to help me get into this, but that's a major info-dump of stuff I have no real knowledge about, so I'd be guestimating with it rather then learning anything. Of coruse, getting interrupted on that to sort out mom's drugs, and errands needed to be done around the village and shopping to be picked up.. Edit: Hm, and my sister's boiler has apparently gone wrong, and the repairmen can't get out till the 5th of December.. Throw in her hob has blown, and she hasn't got an electric kettle.. I don't think she's quite set up for the chill of winter that's frosting the days here.

Working my way through various lessons on html and css web fundamentals and wotnot on Codeacademy. Seeing just how much will stick.

Feeling a little out of time at the moment. I was stuck in that loop of half wake up, half doze off during the early hours of the morning, hit that point where I started going "Yeesh, how long till my alarm goes off and I have to get up?" and then as the dozing in and out continued I struggled to check the time... and found it was actually about two hours passed when my alarm would have been going off.

The thing with Ender's Game is that it started life as a short story, got turned into a novella, then some years later a full novel.. So it was fairly easy to trim it back to being a screenplay suitable for a film. There's what, three books as such that make up Ender's trilogy, and then the rest of the books focus on the other characters don't they? Bean's perspective and what happened on Earth after the war and such like.

Because I'm ruggedly handsome and childishly exuberant?

With the 2nd episode you have a lot more banter. Dorian making fun of his partner, Dorian setting up an online dating profile for his partner, Dorian scanning his partners testicles and offering advice because "you're backed up and you need to get laid."

Almost Human. Some potential interest to the world, plus a show that manages to get in lines like "Don't scan my testicles. Ever." While the sci-fi tends to be interesting ideas but with chunks of implausibility and near-Fringe like science.. I'd say this show is really going to come down to the relationship back and forth of the two main leads, Urban and Ealy.

I find myself procrastinating throughout the day. Ah well. At least I've sorted out a few house hold tasks and needed things, even if I haven't pushed proper work along much.

Well had a crappy night that took bloody hours to fall asleep, then kept half-waking up, before fully waking up too damn early for my comfort. Now I'm staring at the day with a general "ug" approach.

hm, I have to admit, I haven't really been tempted by the new Batman game. Origins just seems to be the same old stuff recycled without anything actually new added to the mix to make it interesting.

Hm, I'm not sure quite how to take this, but for any fans of David Weber's Honorverse stories out there.. as part and parcel of the potential movie plans, they're talking games as well. From the author's infodump the other month I'll be curious as to what sort of non iOS/Android game they might be poking around at to produce..

It can be entertaining when authors post potential snippets from future books.

Hm, as I recall, if you've unlocked him once via playthrough, you can use credits/cartel coins to unlock him for any other character on that legacy at any point. So you could potentially get access to him at earlier levels if you don't want to have the hassle of dealing with the somewhat annoying search and find hunt for parts. I think that's the biggest shame, the Heroic (2+) parts of that quest line are pretty damn good for story and atmosphere, but the locate parts is annoying as all get-out.
