Monetizing, Sickness, and Sadness.

Let's start this off with Sadness.  Having been on www.fanfiction.net hiatus for a few years, I was very sad upon my return, early last week, to learn of one of my favorite authors passing.  Serenanna was brilliant to say the least.  Sere's fanfiction.net profile , Sere's LiveJournal

Monetizing.  TheLazyIdiot.com admin (www.thelazyidiot.com) lent me a book titled Advertising Profits From Home.  I'm about to crack it open tonight, and see what tidbits I can dig out of it.  It's not exceptionally long, and the prose seems promising.  :)  - Has anyone read this?  Any thoughts?

Sickness, I think, is my middle name.  Luckily I've found a pretty decent doctor - 3 more visits to go before I'm done for a while ... I hope. 

There will be something more exciting after this - I promise.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

"Who watches the Watchmen?"

I finally watched Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut [Blu-ray] today. I am now dying to read the graphic novel.  Having read wanted, and just now starting my voyage into V for Vendetta, I am now realizing that my love for comics really does extend beyond the manga category.  I mean, I've always loved Batman, Superman, and Spiderman - but I've been exposed to those through cartoons since I was very young.  I'd like to clarify that while I've always liked comics, it is developing into something much more.  Obsession? Love? Crazed Fanatics? 42? The number of licks to get to the Tootsie Roll Center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know.

 -Hackers

Anyone have any favorite lines from that movie? 

So, I'm going to go out on a limb and call Hackers a classic.  If for no other reason than I find it ridiculously quotable.  I don't think I could ever go wrong with "It's in that place that I put that thing that time".  And it gives me and my mom something to bond over.  Cyberpunk hacker kids saving the day sounds like a good bonding session to me :).

Anywho, I've somehow managed to get myself a flu, so I'm going to go rest. 


Check out track seven (one of my favorites):

Hello World!

My name is Emmalee, and this is my mission: geekdom. No longer a derogatory term, geek has been transformed from pocket protectors and d20's to "geek chic" and World of Warcraft (which 11 million people play). After all, without geeks, who could we count on to bring us all of those gadgets that make our lives easier, and a bit more fun? And if the statistics I hear are true, the number of Computer Science majors in US universities is decreasing - and where women are concerned, the decrease is staggering.

"But why are you telling me this?" you ask.

Simple. I'd like your help.
