Friday
The work week is over.
On to the weekend at hand!
Selah.

Post-work hijinks included the traditional Friday trip to Borders with , and . My new drawing is coming along decently; I’d post a picture of it but I’m drawing it in non-photo blue pencil – nothing would show up. *shrug* I’ll post it when it’s done.

  • Why does this (the last item on the list) not surprise me?
  • Windows crash statistic
  • In-vitro fertilization – 25 years later (or… “Happy Birthday, Louise Brown!”)
  • and I were discussing movie casting this afternoon. We touched on the fact that it’s more important to stay true to the nature of a character than to attempt to live up to the standards and expectations of every fanboy (and fangirl) in the target audience. Case in point: The Kingpin in Daredevil, as portrayed by Michael Clarke Duncan. In the movie, he was Black; in the comics (for the past umpteen years), he’s Caucasian. *shrug* To me, the change didn’t matter… as long as he was the same ruthless bastard that we’ve come to know and love through the years. Mr. Duncan did a great job with the role. I mentioned to her that many years ago – when the first rumors of bringing X-Men to the silver screen were being bandied about – I had another casting idea that was also against the norm: Louis Gossett, Jr. as Professor X.
  • Craisins!
  • Who knew that cats fought going to sleep (okay… lying in a corner and falling asleep) almost as much as children do?
  • Amusement! This almost makes me want to post my “Men on Bikes” send-up of Will Smith’s Men in Black again.

Namaste.
