As a side note, I do like the new Black Cat, though. No better a space for clubbing, but a good place for small shows. Downstairs is very closed in, one might say intimate if one spoke in the third person. Upstairs is a little bigger (and needs better bartenders) but has some good tables in the back, which lets you see over the crowd (since the stage isn't that high, it all works out.)

And courtesy Magistrate, my RPG connection, a rant by John Wick on how he'd improve d20.
Just yesterday, I was wondering about how evolution was continuing, since we have such an active hand in biology these days, and then the Straight Dope mentions their previous article on it. I love Cecil!
Tonight: Nation. Finally. I'm pretending I don't feel sick, because I don't wanna miss it again.
