Gah! Of the 173 photos from an acquaintance's trip to Comic Con only two TWO!! of them were of stricly comic-book related material, and of those two I doubt he and any clue, based on the caption, that one was of a woman in, what might have been, a Lucretia Mongfish costume, and the other was of a pirate rat (not quite sure what that was from, but ( Read more... )

It was cooler this morning. Yea! That opened up all kinds of possibilities for what to do this morning, or so I thought. That's interesting, my left knee hurts; this is new. Maybe I will take a break from running this morning. I will go wash the car instead...or not, it seems both of my tenants are parked behind me. It is street sweeping day, even ( Read more... )

Early to rise, and early in the sack..or something like that for me these days. And I was never much of a late-night follower anyway. I usually don't find Carson, Letterman, Leno, etc. funny enough to bother with. But this is pure genius. Bless Bill Shatner for having absolutely no shame.

I miss being in San Diego this weekend. I loved going down for Comic Con. I loved looking at the art and the costumes. And the freaks.

Because I should be sorting books, not thinking about them!

To wit: "Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you. They should be the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Tag 15 friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing what books my friends choose. Accept that ( Read more... )

"My dear fellow if you have managed to complicate things by (everyone relying on you and) forming a sentimental attachment in less than a week, then I doubt there is anything I can do for you. You sir, are a romantic, and I suspect the condition is incurable ( Read more... )

I have overdue library books. I always have overdue library books. It is just a state of being for me. I had spent the morning playing way too much Bejeweled Blitz while trying to whine, beg, and plead for mercy from my cruel finacers! (ok, there might have been a strident tone used here and there, and I really shouldn't have called her a " ( Read more... )

"Armstrong is on the moon. Neil Armstrong, a 38-year-old American, standing on the surface of the moon this July 20th, 1969," Cronkite told the nation as Armstrong delivered his historic line: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Mr. Cronkite you left a few days too soon.

Just a jumble from my journal...

This seems to be especially applicable to credit cards. It was my own fault; I let thinking about way too many other things distract me from doing what needs to be done. Once again my luck seems to be holding. Amex was warm and fuzzy about the whole thing. Camille couldn't have been more friendly, and had nothing ( Read more... )
