shadowkatYou know, I actually prefer my video game theory to the actuality. Because that is solvable.
According to this article from The Moscow Times: http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/state-blamed-in-livejournal-attack/434552.html
The DDOS attacks on LJ are due to political in-fighting in Russia. The intent is to drive the network offline completely.
Oh also in tv news - the tv show Justified along with The Good Wife won Peabody Awards this year. And tonight's episode of Justified has gotten rave reviews. Seriously? If you are a fan of Terriers, Breaking Bad, The Shield, Deadwood or anything within that trope - you should try Justified. The second season is better than the first and is relying on a real story - The Harlan County War, which had a few films done of it.

In book news? I'm getting bored of Laughter of the Dead Kings - nothing is happening, the characters are just jumping from place to place and not even in an interesting fashion. So annoying. I know how this book should have been written, how it could have been made interesting - but the writer clearly has burned out. Making me wonder where her editor was? Asleep? She has three no make that five potentially interesting characters that she's doing nothing with. Ugh. Thank god, I only bought it for the Kindle - was cheap - $7, I think. And easy to get rid of, once I'm through. E-readers were made for books like this.

Also, Elmore Leonard is involved now - which is great news,
Leonard wrote the original short story, and is the master of this particular trope, I actually think he had a hand in creating it.
