…or something like that.

<< Rewind <<
Yesterday was a lazy day.

We slept in. That’s a good start to any weekend. After we had all showered and thinned the blood in our caffeinestreams, we met and for lunch at Cafe Med. Afterwards, we – minus Nyx – headed to Fat Cats, where and I finally had our bowling showdown. Neither of us has bowled in about a month, so we were about even there. I won all three games – the second game was in doubt until the tenth frame.

and Cain hadn’t seen Star Wars: Episode III, so the four of us headed to Larryland: South – which will henceforth be known as: “Larryland: Central” – to see Revenge of the Sith. And, once again, I missed seeing the Millennium Falcon. And a Star Destroyer on Kashyyyk. How in the Nine Hells does one miss a ship THAT big?! Twice!? *GRR*

After the movie, we came back to the house for a bit and then it was on to Cheers for breakfast. The majority of The Singles didn’t show up, but the crowd was still good enough for some prime people-watching. The Machete Guy was there, too. Sans machete. I also made a couple of new shakes: French Silk for me and Peanut Butter Cup for Nyx – she and Nox stopped in for breakfast. I liked mine; she said that hers was good. And all was right with the world.

Today started off slowly and lazily. I got up around 11:00, everyone else was still sleeping. Being the magnanimous type, I decided not to blast them out of bed with Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyrie. Instead, I opted to come down the HALO Command Center and chill out for a while. I started hearing sounds of life around 11:30 or 11:45. I didn’t make my appearance until noon-ish. After showers and coffee and sitting around for a bit, we went to get lunch. Tres Hombres. Along the way, we met the Scarecrow picked up Nox. After lunch, we put and Cain on the Yellow Brick Road I-80, in the direction of I-15 North and all things Idaho. We had a fun time with them here. We didn’t do any tourist-related things and that seemed to suit all parties just fine.

After lunch, Nox came back to the house with us and I hosted my first HALO LAN. Technically, it was a HALO 2 LAN, but why nitpick? Chris and Christopher came over and we had H2 running on three machines. We shot the scenery and each other for a few hours. Lots of fun. After that, it was just a quiet evening at home.

Stray Toasters

  • I went through some CDs containing some photos that I had forgotten about. It’s good to know where they are.
  • The Art of Amanda Morley, by way of
  • Sweet Mary, mother of Jesus…. Moonlighting is coming out on DVD this week! Unfortunately, my favorite episode, “Atomic Shakespeare,” was a third season episode.
  • Firestorm has been one of my favorite DC Comics characters for… let’s just say “a long time.” I was pretty happy when ABC added him to the Superfriends lineup in 1984 in SuperFriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show… which I’m watching right now (well… when I wrote this). In fact, it’s the first episode of that series: “The Bride of Darkseid (Parts I and II),” which also featured the first appearance of Darkseid. Unfortunately, he was portrayed as a intergalactic crime lord rather than one of the New Gods. Nevertheless, it was fun to watch.
  • And now the 1967 Fantastic Four is on. With Galactus and the Silver Surfer.
  • is the new “Mr. Dumbass,” by his own admission. (I [heart] my LJ user-in-law.)
  • I think that this picture, by Alex Ross, is my new favorite picture of The Shrub:
  • Larry Kenney, who provided voices for both Thundercats‘ Lion-O and Silverhawks‘ Bluegrass also provided the commercial voice of General Mills’ Count Chocula.
  • Maybe this will make feel a little better about Batman: He gets even with the members of the JLA who erased his memories in this summer’s “Crisis of Conscience” storyline.
  • I like the way that uses images as bullet points/paragraph markers in her posts.
  • J. Michael Straczynski, best known as the creator of Babylon 5 (and its offspring) and Rising Stars, has been writing Amazing Spider-Man for… at least a year, I think. By all accounts, he has pumped some much-needed life into one of Marvel’s icons. He’ll be turning his hand to the four-color print adventures of the Fantastic Four this summer. But before all of this, he wrote Teen Titans Spotlight #13: Cyborg, featuring the Batman villain Harvey “Two-Face” Dent.

    Poison Ivy will be creeping around…

  • Does the name “Nolan Bushnell” mean anything to you? He’s the guy who brought us Pong and the Atari 2600… and Chuck E. Cheese. Well, he’s at it again. He’s expected to announce his newest venture, uWink this week.
  • George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg are moving forward on a script for Indiana Jones IV.
