In which I play video games, and you can watch!

So apparently, we have a hurricane coming? Lee is not supposed to hit directly my area directly, but over here slightly inland of Nantucket we're supposed to get a lot of rain and flooding and generally unpleasantly wet circumstances. I've once again landed in an apartment at the top of a hill, as I somehow always do, and I'm on the top floor. I'm not likely to get too soggy myself, or have to bail anything out, but I'm not really going to want to go outside for the next couple of days either. 

Fortunately, I don't need to! I'm on Twitch. I've cast the augury bones -- by which I mean I looked at a website that scrapes Twitch metadata to tell me when my audience is likely to be online -- and apparently people are most in the mood for some Ace Attorney on Saturday mornings. Fine. I can think of worse ways to spend my weekend. So, assuming the power stays on, I'm going back to playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney on Twitch at 11am this Saturday, for however long I don't get bored of it. Probably a couple hours. Come by and watch! Chat convinced me last time that I should read all the speech bubbles. By the end I started doing all the voices. I'm an actor, so sue me. 

I got sucked into a black hole of graphic design a little bit ago, so there is a landing page for the channel at http://circered.wixsite.com/ratto-moon with info, and eventually pictures of rats past and present when I remember where in the stack I put that particular external hard drive. Notable on that site is that there is, well, a Notes page -- I can't play translated things without also getting irritated and/or impressed by the translated things, and I still remember enough Japanese to go on long-winded explanations of all the stuff I spot in games.

About a week ago, I crewed a show at the studio theater for a non-profit outfit up from New York. The guys who run it are friends of our executive artistic director, and they come up two or three times a year. I like them; I dealt with them a bunch when I was at the box office, because when you're the most experienced person they have around they hand you all of the EAD's friends, and I have an unofficial standing request to work their shows even when I'm not the only crew who is both in town and not drowning in finals. One of the guys, as it turns out, is laid up with an injury right now, so the other one had to fly solo, on top of performing in the show. I ran into him coming down the stairs as I was going up, and as soon as he saw me he just lit up like, oh, it's you!  How are you are you working are you going to be my box office again! I told him I'd swapped over to doing tech and he asked if I was disappointed that I didn't get to dress up anymore. I

The mystery of "Himmmm"

By Circe -
[Note: This entry has been edited from its original publication. See here for explanation.] The gossip blogs are alight today with the breaking news that some dude who leaves a lot of comments at a site called Crazy Days And Nights  under the screen name "Himmmm" is "really" Robert Downey, Jr. Nobody has any proof, of course, and there has been no comment from RDJ -- possibly because the story is too new, possibly because it's true and he'd rather not have to lie, possibly because it's not true and he thinks it's too funny for words. Normally, I just laugh at these things, because really, who the fuck cares beyond the entertainment value? But one of the more interesting things about "Himmmm" is that he seems to have made it a point to go after people who have done Really Bad Things. He's most famous for popping in and letting other commenters play 20 Questions about who's being talked about in the most recent blind item, and  c

WARNING! Sweeping generalizations inside!

Captain Awkward -- who is one of my new favorite people, by the by -- has apparently been getting a lot of flack from her post about creepiness and how not to engage in it . I say flack specifically because it's not necessarily all directed at her personally, but when you're in the middle of a field of anti-aircraft guns all firing in random directions, you're likely to get some shrapnel in your hide whether anyone is aiming at you or not. One of the running arguments down in the comments (in her blog, in other blogs, on reddit, on the astral plane, etc.) is about whether it makes a difference whether someone is painfully socially awkward, has Asperger's or an autism spectrum disorder, or is just a boundary-free creepy fucker, whether these things are comorbid a lot, and what to do about it. I think it's really damn easy to tell the difference between them, myself. I suspect it's because I do tact about like a Panzer tank does ballet. The people who seem to
