More misc

jazzmasterson and harliquinn, the Mad Science Mix arrived yesterday :-) Will probably throw it on while cleaning house for imminent arrival of parents.

Yay octopus!

And, via silmaril, Texas has passed a law allowing schoolkids with diabetes to follow their blood sugar management plans. I think theweaselking says it best.

While waiting to meet Neil Gaiman yesterday, and reminding reynardo and sarin_girl of the 'no licking' rules, we snagged the Day of the Triffids DVD. (The BBC one that actually resembles the book, not the B-movie.) Looking forwards to watching that; I remember it scared me as a kid.

Cute Flash game

Die Anstalt (has an English option): rather sweet if odd game in which you play a psychiatrist helping toys overcome trauma. Finishing it made me feel all warm and fuzzy :-)

Edit: Also, a cute game idea: Bone Wars, 'The Game of Ruthless Paleontology'. Poor Mr. Cope; you just don't recover from a mistake like that. And I know some people here will enjoy the related illustrations (scroll to near end) of prehistoric beasties. [Edit the second: Looks like that latter link requires paid access, and apparently my work IP is already signed up. I had no idea.]
