- Watch Serenity! It was really, really good.
- I heard a woman say "humendous" on the radio today. :D
- Work is going really well. I'm motivated, the project is interesting, and they are trying to get us more resources.
- I'm starting to gear up for this year's NaNoWriMo. Woo! A part of this will be to reread Outlander in order to get into the feel of a well-told story.
- I'm teaching my dog a new trick: holding a biscuit on his nose until I tell him he can have it, at which point he will flip it into the air and eat it. I'm at about 30% into it.
- Seppo's The Sims 2 Console demo was awesome. Short, but awesome. I really wish they had shown some more of the stuff you can do because it's really cool, but they obviously don't want to give too much away.
- Prison Break and Lost are sucking my life dry. There is so much tension that were I not a young spry thing, I'd be gasping for air and calling for an ambulance. I'm just glad that Rock Star: INXS finished a few weeks ago and that So You Think You Can Dance is wrapping up this week, because I need my life back.

So, 30% into the dog's training means... you put the biscuit on his nose, then he eats it?
Gearing up for NaNoWriMo, but not answering my emails about it. *sniff*
:O I don't know why, but I thought it was a "notice of intent" email. :O It's because I'm a big dumb-dumb.
The biscuit trick is at the stage where Mobi will let me bring the treat and hold it to his nose without lunging for it. Then, if he stays still, I give him the release word and give him the biscuit. If he moves for it, then I pull it away until later.
It's going to be a matter of building up time and being able to associate a word with the holding (which is going to be "hold") strongly enough that even when I take my hand off the biscuit, he stays in position and doesn't go for the treat right away.
