So apparently I'm prominent enough somewhere to get a mailshot from The Jerusalem International Conference on Integrative Medicine. I really don't know how I got in their sights. They don't appear to be spammers or scammers (the conference is legitimate) and they didn't try to sell me anything. Perhaps they mixed me up with completely different Graham Dawson.
Looks kind of interesting... if I were remotely medical I'd probably go. I've always wanted to visit Israel.

That's just odd. Still, definitely random and fun!

Perhaps Chris can lend you her doctor hat, and I can put together a Chief Remodulator of Brainiatrics nametag. Bring us all back some surgical gloves!

Super Mario Bros. Crossover
A remake of SMB, but you can also play as Link, Samus, Mega Man, Bill (Contra), Ryu (Ninja Gaiden) or Simon Belmont.
Pretty good, but I think it's stupid that all the other characters besides Mario can also jump on enemies to kill them (should be disabled in a later version, IMO). I mean, it's much quicker to jump on a Goomba than have to whip it like 2 or 3 times with the Vampire Killer whip.

Of course he'd have a sword of Thunderbolt Iron.
It balances out the silly tights and plumes he has to wear now that he's a knight.

Re: Random & Fun
I've actually noticed this! Couples start to write the same after a while. This would explain why I'm writing loads of gloomy, depressing stories set in near-future Sweden where everyone dies at the end...

And why I want to write fanciful space opera/science fantasy stuff. Featuring the lovely Leela.

German Genius invents The Heatball! Now he can legally sell 100 watt lightbulbs. Give that man a (non-toxic environmentally friendly carbon-neutral) cigar!

Buy Heat Balls and save the rain forest. If that is performance art, then Randall Munroe is Leonardo da Vinci, right?

Sometimes I feel like dressing up my Gaia avatar.
Feels kinda pointless since I don't actually do stuff at Gaia, so I'm putting it here.

That's just beautiful. I hope they're still up at Christmas with little lights and whatnot.
