I think LJ and DW broke my brain a bit yesterday. Not only 'Noooooo, cyclone Yasi is ginormous and pissed off, but there were bushfires in western Victoria as well. And an author writing that they can't quit their day job because it gives them health insurance which is prohibitively expensive elsewise (stabs US healthcare system with a rusty spork. What kind of country can't take care of its ill?) And Egypt. :(

Not much of anything lately, just too much tvtropes.org. Way too much. Also, drew a map for a short story because I feel like I need more background detail to make things real, and it will be useful for terrain and being able to figure out why these two places are at war. Which I did during this week's episode of NCIS because it was boring as.

NCIS has been so disappointing this season. :( I don't think they realise that formulaic shows only work of the characters are still really interesting and their relationships are complex.

That episode wasn't even written as well as they have been in the past- none of the awesome random digressions or the playful banter or anything. Season one was craploads better, and they were still finding their footing.

Also, I heard kind of recently that the producers will take direction from the show forums. Pandering to whatever small slice of the show's audience who hold the majority view on the forums... gah.
