Friday – 26 January 2007
This morning’s been pretty good.  I have frozen mocha goodness.  The road monkeys behaved, for the most part…  We’ve been sharing email/video goodness around the office (more on this in ‘Toasters).
Last night was CSI: night with .  I don’t know what’s going on with Keppler, but there’s “something” there.  The episode was a definite turn from the usual: A crime scene was faked… by members of the team…. without the other members’ knowledge.  Which led to a “wee bit” of a rift.  Imagine that.  But, all-in-all, it was a good episode.  I am interested to see how the Keppler story plays out through the rest of the season.

The Scales of Justice
The Hand of Nefer-Tem took to the streets of Paragon City last night.  Trolls, Outcast ,and a few of Hellions were judged… and found wanting.  And as their fates were bound, my power grew.  Security Level 6 was attained and with it came a new power: The ability to transform into a Dark Nova.

Along with the new form came new powers:

  • Dark Nova Bolt
  • Dark Nova Blast
  • Dark Nova Emanation and
  • Dark Nova Detonation

And, Flight.  That’s right.  Flight – not Hover.  At Level 6.

Stray Toasters

  • I chatted with last night.  Among other things, she told me about the giant Jesus statue at the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio.  Bizarre.  Even more bizarre than that: Heywood Banks’ song, Big Butter Jesus, about the statue.
  • Intrepid is out of spacedock and back in service.
  • So, you think you know Jack…    (NOTE: This has quite a bit of NSFW audio)
  • Star Trek Minimates… beaming down to a store near you.  The set even has Kirk and Vena, the Orion slave girl (you know… the green one!)
  • For anyone who was a fan of Thundercats growing up (yeah, you… you know you were), check this picture out.
  • WizKids to Offer Collector’s Sets Through Retail Channels.   Oh, HELL yes!

Quote of the Day (so far…)
I was showing Jesse Jackson reads Green Eggs & Ham to some coworkers when the question came up “What certification does Jesse Jackson have to be a preacher?”  Good question.  For the answer, I consulted Wikipedia…

It turns out that the good Reverend Jesse studied Divinity at Chicago Theological Seminary… but did not complete the coursework.   He was later bestowed an honorary Master of Divinity degree “…in 2000 based on life experience.”

This led to the comment: “So, all it takes to become a preacher is to just… tell someone?!  So, I could be lying in bed, ‘preaching’ and then I’m a preacher?”

Which led to me saying: “Just saying ‘Oh, God! Oh, God!’ in bed is not preaching.”
Hilarity ensued.

Namaste.
