Time-sink warning!
In the vain hope that sharing a time-sink with the interwebs will somehow stop me wasting my own time, I present to you my most recently-discovered procrastination enablers:
- Flight of the Hamsters. I think I’m probably the last person in the blogosphere to link to this game, but it’s bizarrely addictive. The fact that the music is the Ride of the Valkyries makes it even funnier.
- The Television Tropes Wiki, a compendium of familiar devices, characters, dialogue conventions and the like, not limited to TV. It’s adding all kinds of useful phrases to my vocabulary, like MacGuffin Delivery Service, Applied Phlebotinum, and, of course, It Was His Sled. (Via Feminist SF – The Blog!)
Well, you are the first person who has told *me* about Flight of the Hamsters, and I must admit to being intensely amused. Though Der Fliegende Hamster could *not* have been what Wagner intended…
