Thursday
and I met and for lunch and an excursion to The Bookshelf. I was very proud of myself – I only bought one box of plastic crack. Unfortunately, all of the figures were duplicates of ones that I already have. On the “up” side, I had a coupon from a previous trip; I only wound up paying a little under $4.00 to feed my addiction.

I had dinner with , Nyx and Nox. Then I headed to Nyx and Nox’ to try out a new game that Nox had picked up, Twilight Imperium. It was like a cross between Risk and Star Fleet Battles… with a twist of Civilization.

Quote of the Day
BBC News has an interview with Oscar nominee Jamie Foxx on its website. In it, Foxx talks about rehearsing with Ray Charles in preparation for his portrayal of the singer in the movie Ray:

“We got a chance to sing the blues with each other, and I hit the wrong note, and he said, ‘why the hell would you do that’? And I said ‘I don’t know Ray'”.

“And he said, ‘the notes are right underneath your fingers, and all you gotta do is take time out to find the right note. That’s what life is, we all got notes underneath our fingers and we gotta take time to find the right notes, to come up with our own music’.”

I just think that’s a great quote.

Namaste.
