I know several parents who swear that video games are bad news and they won’t let their kids play them. The absurdity of this argument is off the scale for a couple reasons that I won’t go into here. But BoingBoing recently posted a critique of Candy Land that changes the line of argument I take to an active criticism of games those types of parents find “good”. It’s a nice quick read.

Reuben Eating
I ate three Reubens in one day and two states yesterday. Each one was better than the last, with the last one probably being the second best Reuben I’ve ever eaten.
A Good of a Reason as any to have a Party
I went to the Black Cat last night to catch Aquarium and discovered the new couch. In addition to its incredible newsworthiness, the new couch reflects the posh youth (i.e., college kids) that now frequents the Red Room. Well, apparently the Black Cat feels the new couch is also a big-time development as they are throwing a series of “couch night” parties (for the new couch, presumably).
Here is a blurry photo of the new couch and a photo of the couch-party flyer. Enjoy.
