barely fatal

Story: It’s my grandma’s. She collects dolls. First moment I saw this, I couldn’t help but think of at least two scenes from Star Trek where someone is put into a giant tube to be tortured, for example as seen on ENT (In a mirror, darkly) …

Update: It DOES taste like a kiwi-banana-cucumber, just as I was warned. Not very tasty. Too many hard seeds. It’s called Kiwiano.

But what the heck is it? Looks like an alien giant microbe. Apparently you can eat and is supposed to be pudding-like?! I’ll find out.

Right, where should I go? Barcelona? Orlando? Or Edinburgh? I’ve never been to Scotland and I don’t mind the crappy weather. Gotta check my bank account. Alternatively I can go flat hunting …

Steam offers Unreal Tournament 3 Black (whatever) for free this weekend. Too bad that I can download it at 100k/s only right now, geesh. I really like Steam, the weekend deals are a great idea, I can re-download my games on any PC – yes it’s DRM, but as long as there is the offline mode and you can block automatic updates, I’m okay with it. On the first weekend, Empire ran horribly slow and with graphical glitches on my ATI, two days later it suddenly changes to perfectly smooth and much faster load times – Steam had downloaded a patch. I never want to google for patches by hand again.

I’m looking forward to the Star Trek premiere on May 7th. It’s about time for some good ol’ sci-fi revival. Still wondering if I should go to FedCon in Cologne, too, pricy as it is. Could be a great event, with people from BSG, Trek, and the movie just around the corner …

Other things I gotta look into: Renting some PS 3 games, Dollhouse, BSG Season 4.5 finale, … damn, there just too much out there for a single geek to watch or play. So, I’ll either clone myself, or forget about it all and start with sports. Right. Now, where did I put that jug of stem cells…
