Addictive house building game.

I am currently addicted to Mansion Impossible. It's a house market game where you have to try to buy/sell houses as fast as possible to get enough money to buy the 10mil mansion.

Definitely more interesting than Url Adex, which is a stock market-like game where you can buy and sell URLs. Kathy, thought you might like it though -- if you don't have enough math stuff to do during your daily life anyway! Everyone else, link'll cite me as a referral if you use it, but it's honestly a very slow-moving game. Or maybe I just chose bad URLs.

Wow, LJ. Why do the Russians get the dangerous gifts?

If you have no clue what I'm talking about, click here for a helpful comment that shows all the ultra-cool v-gifts that Russian users have.

Poison and grenades, wow! Perfect for a country with civil unrest.

I actually think the poison is kinda cool. It's emo-tastic. But it seems weird that if it's not appopriate for the US brand of livejournal, it's okay for Russian livejournal and that el-jay would let their trademark be diluted like that anyway.

Davis Square is now on my Back to Boston yay list!

I'll be back in Boston by the 2nd of September and dude, Davis Square just hopped right to the top of my flist of places to go (apart from Harvard Square so that I can pick up my comics fix, of course). Why?

Well, because of this wank, wherein an idiot suggests opening a hair salon for men along the lines of hooters in a Davis Square comm and the members don't react happily. In the b0ston comm, where the guy posts again about the idea, people also think it's stupid and someone even sarcastically suggests Davis Square. XD

It even hits the b0ston snark comm, and the post on the Red Sox comm has killer tags.

*grinning like a wild thing* Best comment to the entire mess was this one, reproduced in full below:

It's a sorry state of affairs in this country when the lure of titties is necessary to get men to groom properly.

That said, I think Davis would likely be a nightmare choice of location for a business like this. It's the wrong crowd. Since you don't know the area, its only fair to tell you that heterosexuality is far from universal in this neighborhood. We have a very strong representation of gay, lesbian, bi, transgendered, polyamorous, pagan, geek and everything else that doesn't fall smack into the mainstream. Which is not to say there aren't heterosexual men here who like boobies. There are. But there are a lot of women who like 'em, too.

Honestly, I would skip all of Somerville, all of Cambridge, and probably most of Boston except Kenmore and the Fenway area. Someone said Nashua, and that's probably a good bet. You also might do well out in the Route 1 area, where there are a lot of sports bars and strip malls where what you're doing could work out well.

I spend enough time feeling rather dismayed to be American that it's fantastic when something happens that makes me gleeful to be a Bostonian. XDDDD
