The good news is that the laundry is done. The bad news is that the Jeep threw a rod and the engine is blown. Estimated repair cost: $4000 (yes, that's three zeros you see there.)

I sense a sea change...
I do believe we may have finally and firmly entered the era in which people with big giant brains are considered sex symbols worth panting after. Or, at least that's what I'm choosing to believe. (Applications to seduce my brain will be accepted in written form only.)

Fred Phelps and minions decided to picket ComicCon.
To quote ComicsAlliance.com: "Simply stated: The eclectic assembly of nerdom's finest stood and delivered."

It's hoooooooot. Hot enough that I finally relocated my laptop back to my desk, which is in the room with the window a/c. I walked to the grocery store earlier today and it was ok as long as there was either a breeze or I was in the shade. Direct sunshine - not so much ( Read more... ) -
