I leave my garden running in the background while I do other stuff, but my snail keeps going to sleep. It's annoying. Getting another seed slot will cost $80,000, I need him picking up coins.

(Plants vs Zombies: A game I totally did not expect to get this into. I swear, it's more addictive than Peggle.)

The critical question about Steam, of course, is: given that Valve make some quite good games, why is Steam so unutterably rubbish? It's ridiculously buggy.

I just read this post about Gary, Indiana. It's interesting - speaking as someone whose prior assocation with the name "Gary, Indiana" is a vague feeling I've heard it before. I couldn't have told you where or how or why.

I was so very O.O at "garden running in the background" and "snail going to sleep" before I realised it was a game.... YES, I'm SLOW. *g*

"Gary, Indiana" is one of the songs from the musical The Music Man -- Harold teaches it to Winthrop, who likes it because there's "hardly any etheth in it".

There's a song about Gary, Indiana in the musical The Music Man (the same one that has "We've got Trouble, Right Here in River City" and "76 Trombones Led the Big Parade" in it).
