After a wacky week at work and beyond, I'm back here. Hope all is well.

I usually play one video game at a time - maybe two - but its rare there's nothing in the Wii, DS, or X-Box.

Until now. I finished Galactrix (which was not as good as I hoped) and I find nothing is catching my attention. I usually do the RPG route, but nothing is sending me. Avalon Code sounds intriguing but flawed, the new-old DragonQuest games are out but I'm not sure I want to go retro, Little King's Story sounds cool but maybe a bit TOO much.

I am not in a gaming mood. This is rare for me.

So, assuming this is an irrational state - what games do YOU recommend and why?

Here.

Seventh Sanctum's technology and look is updated for the first time in years - five years in some cases. This has been an on-off activity for several months, and I'm pleased to say it's done.

It is also easier to improve, modify and update, so it's going to make maintenance and adding new things a lot easier . . .

Pretty much, yes, this is true

Whew, I just had a week with a meetup, a convention, taking my car to the shop, a dental appointment, picking up my car, taking my car BACK, and preparing for family visits.

I'm actually looking forward to this summer, despite general business, because I think I need a rest. I'm not expecting one until about May at this rate, but I'll do my best.

I've got a mixed relation with social media. I use LJ casually, I am in love with Linkedin, I use assorted feeds and groups, but I figure it's time to sit down and analyze the assorted social media options.

So besides LJ what do you use in social media? Meetup? Facebook? Something else? What's worth it - and what's easy to automate?

In not quite the way you'd expect

I've been watching Kuroshitsuji, aka "Black Butler", an interesting anime that's sort of horror/drama/action/comedy/psychology . . . thing. When your protagonist is an orphaned boy of an aristocratic family with his demon butler, you've got stuff to work with.

I can recommend the anime and to a lesser extent the manga (as I've read less) for an extremely odd combination of elements that I find quite enjoyable.

And I also want William T. Spears, worlds most organized supernatural entity, to get his own show. (Not a spoiler, but boy wait until you meet him). Stephen Colbert, we found your anime-to-live role!
