Read about 70 pages of Wizard and Glass (book 4 of King's Dark Tower series) before realizing that I might just want to go back and read books 1-3 again first, since I read those over 13 years ago, I only remember the scantiest details, and the prologue's recap only helped a little.. I just feel like I'm missing out on too much of the story.

Innnteresting little game from sylvie, Tontie--it's like Whack-a-Mole, only with a lot more variation and it gets a lot more difficult. Don't even try it if you don't have a numeric keypad. :)

From K5 via gingerdc9: Nick Berg's Killing: 50 Fishy Circumstances, Contradictory Claims, and Videotape Anomalies. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I'm definitely cynical when it comes to politics and the media, and this is definitely food for thought..

Joe Rocket's customer service was very fast and very helpful today. Rather than return my new jacket to the store for warranty service to replace one of the snaps, I emailed them asking if I could just get replacement snaps instead--and not only did they reply within an hour and agree to it, they offered to reimburse tailor fees with a submitted receipt if I had to have a tailor attach it!

I don't have a real numeric keypad, what with having a laptop and all. But then, I also haven't been able to get past level 9

I lose as soon as the little hit-relocating huts show up, and I wouldn't make it to level 2 without a numeric keypad--though most laptops do have a num keypad ability built into the keyboard as a special function.

i have that, but it's kindof a pain to use because it's slanty and not freestanding and whatnot

True, but as long as you can go by position and not number, it's still better than the line of keys, IMO.
