Watching: Pretty Little Liars on Netflix. It's a guilty pleasure.

I just picked it back up after a ridiculous hiatus (I hadn't played since 2010, according to my save files) and it's amazing.

Plus there's the fiasco that is the early vision quest... All three factions have a quest when you're getting started, to unlock your magical potential by reliving the experiences of a woman caught up in a magical calamity in Tokyo. This psychic vision is induced by an NPC in your faction, and the method is unique to each secret society.
Illuminati: "We will induce a vision using DRUGS and MAD SCIENCE!"
Me: "Heh. Awesome."
Templars: "We will trigger a vision using the rantings of a MAGICAL HOMELESS PERSON!"
Me: "Um, okay..."
Dragon: "We will induce a vision using ORAL SEX from a MAGIC HOOKER!"
Me: "Oh, for... SERIOUSLY, GAME? F**KING SERIOUSLY?!"
So.... yeah.... but ASIDE from that, quite engaging. I enjoy the puzzle and logic and stealth elements that are a refreshing change of pace from the usual MMO mechanisms, and the dialogue, while occasionally overlong, is involving and clever and well acted. I'll probably cancel my subscription when Mists of Pandaria comes out, though, and just renew it once in a while for a month or two when I need a change of pace. My friends and my Roleplay community are all in WoW, I'm never going to escape.

We're also watching Battlestar Galactica - I've seen it all, but she hasn't. We're almost halfway through season three! :3

I haven't read to Kill A Mocking Bird, so I've kind of started reading it and I'm also reading Pyramids by Pratchett. More interested in reading the Odyssey and Pratchett's guard series. After these two I think I'll go back to non-fiction for a while(or at least pick up 1 to 1) and I've had Sexual Fluidity by Diamond on my list for a while, also The Female Thing (can't remember if I cared for the sample though.)

Trying to re-read Dune but it feels odd on the screen instead of a hardback... "Spawn of a Lizard!" is still one of the best insults ever.
Playing Bubble Witch Saga and Marvel's Avengers Alliance on FB. Lazy geek is lazy.

Watching: Neon Genesis Evangelion, OMG, it's like Thunderbirds but with angst as well as amazing machinery! Loving it.
