Lasers and mirrors

Technophilia

I heard about this game a long time ago (damn you Metafilter), but I didn’t get around to playing it till this week. Oh. My. Goofness. I am addicted. Addicted! And I’m determined to get through all the levels. I was so stumped by level 17, I found some spoilers. Shh!

I just finished watching the premieres of Desperate Housewives and The West Wing. The Gilmore Girls premiere was two weeks ago, and only Law & Order: Criminal Intent is the only premiere of that family I have yet to catch. (I’ll watch it on USA.)

So let me get all meta and bore you with my opinions of these premieres.
