Shortest Comic-Con recap ever?
While it's a little odd to see "Wonder Woman" with violet eyes, I like the fact that the Polly Pocket three-pack DC 75th Anniversary set is clearly Polly and friends playing dress-up as Batgirl, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman, not Polly Pocket interpretations of the characters, if that makes any sense.
First day back, playing massive catch-up, AND ( Read more... ) -
Comic-Con bound!
I have been crazed with Comic-Con prep, and all the journaling I have considered doing about lizards and bugs and dogs and rain hasn't happened. Mostly because of the last... just when I think I'm caught up, something happens, either a monsoon or just a thunderstorm, and poof! goes the internet.
See y'all on the far side! -
Happy Independence Day!
Been away too long from LJ again. Hope I am not suffering shallow / short attention span issues ... but must confess that it's at least in part because with limited time to be on-line socially, I tend to be on Facebook (because I am responsible for Mysterious Galaxy's FB page), and click around there long enough to use up all my allotted social ( Read more... ) -
You know you live in a small border town when...
you visit the post office, and are finally able to purchase the TV Cowboy stamps, which keep selling out. But Simpsons stamps, which came out more than a year ago, are still readily available, because your neighbors don't want "those darn new rude cartoon kids" on their mail ( Read more... ) -
Traveling to Tucson
As Jeff noted, we went to Tucson on Saturday, intending to spend a Summer Saturday evening at the Desert Museum, but not quite making it. OTOH, we had a nice semi-agendaless day. We dropped off our mixed recycling, picked up a few titles at Fantasy Comics, and finally, after what seems like years of "we should..." had lunch with friends at the ( Read more... ) -
stuuuuupid rabbit!
Dear Dogs:
Ouch. You are fortunate I love you.
Yes, there is very little room for debating that a cottontail who is only about 20 feet away and freezes in plain sight when you spot it, even when you advance slowly, seems to be declaring "Chase me, catch me, eat me!"
But Mom said, "No."
Which did not mean lunge all together for the cottontail, knocking ( Read more... ) -

A sign of Too Much Criminal Minds?
No doubt compounded by reading STILL MISSING...
I have spent too much of every single one of the last five days driving around. I realize this is a reflection of our choice of where we make our home, where nothing is close, but still...
Anyway, one one day -- Wednesday, I think? -- between driving in Douglas and driving in Bisbee, I saw a white ( Read more... ) -
It's entirely possible I am just old...
and therefore cranky.
But really, am I the only one bothered by websites and other media created with today's "helpful" programs that list any business that starts with "The" under the T section? (And "A or An" or the "A" section.) Not to mention that sorts guests alphabetically by first name rather than surname?
Sorry, but it doesn't work for me
