We decided to test our werewolf skills on the Isle of Skye (near the Talisker distillery), with TimeLady baaing to the local sheep, and atakdog howling at them, seeing who got more of a reaction. Results below. (apologies for not having spliced the videos)

yes, someone got me this for my bday. i thought it smelled horrible, but mixed with a little cran and ice it wasn't a bad drink (and did taste a lot like iced tea)


nice sheep/wolf off TL/Atak. i think you had that last one. although, that last one looked injured too, so maybe it was just dying (and not interested).

also: what do you think of the pregnant-belly-by-week photo updates on facebook?

does this creep anyone else out?

Everything about facebook creeps me out but I also believe corn is an evil alien intelligence and civilization was a mistake.

And, no, the bf did not get me into Civ. I've been playing it for years in all its forms, even the ick that was Civ 3.

One thing I found enjoyable was setting the game to the easiest setting, smallest map, and then trying to kill everyone off before 1 AD. Once you get the hang of it, it's not too hard, but some of the things you have to do aren't readily apparent the first time through.
