Tuesday – 29 May 2007
The first thing that went through my mind when I was typing the date was: “Tuesday is Blues day.” Bonus points if you remember what that meant.

A/another short week begins. Amen.

My mother’s going in for surgery this afternoon. From what I understand, it’s not a big deal, but it could/will prevent a much bigger deal. When I called her to say “Hi” this morning, she was in the salon, preparing to get her hair done. Before… going… to…. *sigh* Yeah. That’s Mom. Kris is going to call me, post-op, to give me the low-down on how it went and how Mom’s doing.

The commute was, for the most part, good. There were a couple of monkeys who made me wish that I had shock collars or a cattle prod, but the rest of the… huh, “a barrel” really is one of the names for a group of monkeys… anyway, the rest of them were fairly docile. This morning’s musical oleo came from my Rush playlist. (I’ll avoid making any other bad “Rush hour” jokes, other than that one.):

  • Cold Fire
  • The Spirit of Radio
  • Tai Shan
  • Grand Designs
  • Animate
  • Freewill

That made dealing with the road monkeys a little easier, too.

Stray Toasters

  • I had a cinnamon roll and a frozen mocha… which I managed to get into the building without issue this morning.
  • The Politics of Dancing
  • Go, Pacers!
    (Huh…? They aren’t in the playoffs? Oh. Nevermind, then.)
  • “Less Human Than Human”
  • Does anyone remember Gorf? I used to love that game.
  • As His Chocolate Holiness, I think that Derek deserves elevation to a position above “Acolyte.” Possibly even something above “Priest.” My inner anarchist – which in this case may be “my inner Antichrist” – wants to make him “Bishop,” just because of the fact that we are in Utah.
  • Alter Ego: author’s audio slideshow of gamers and avatars
  • Death by Pillsbury
  • I have made references to satisfying my inner Kryptonian/Daxamite while taking my morning and afternoon constitutionals. This morning, I came up with a variation on that theme: Who are solar-powered heroes/villains in the MU/DCU? I came up with the following:
    • Superman
    • Supergirl
    • Mon-El (M’onel / Valor)
    • Andromeda
    • Any other Kryptonian or Daxamite you’d care to name
    • The brothers Summers: Cyclops and Havok (I’m not sure abot Vulcan, as his powers haven’t been fully explained.)
    • Bizarro, I would assume
    • SunspotI’m sure that I’ve missed a few, but those were the only ones who came to mind.

Namaste.
