“I’ve got a brand-new pair of rollerskates. You’ve got a brand-new key…”

I was still undecided about going out of town today, but I opted not to do so.
I woke up with the intent of going to REI to check out their Garage Sale. As I was getting ready, I chatted with
I got there and found
Next stop:
I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from the derby. It was held at the Olympic Oval. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: “Roller derby at an ice rink?” I had the same thought. There is a concrete oval in the center of the ice, that’s where the ladies skated.Â
On to Village Inn. Vikki was the only other person to show up. Our people-watching was enhanced by the assorted Hallowe’en costumes that the patrons wore. The best costumes: Cruella DeVille and the Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
Home again, home again. Jiggety-jig.
Stray Toasters
- I wound up looking up a site that I haven’t been to in a long time: Jeff Russell’s Starship Dimensions. That’s right, I got my geek on. And it made me smile.
- What made me want to find that site again was: Death Star Powerpoint Presentation.
- The origins of “To Hell in a handbasket,” according to Wikipedia.
: BOOM! Studios has another book in which you might be interested: Fall of Cthulhu : I saw this and thought of you…
- Did Rob Liefeld actually draw this and this?! I mean… there’s almost a human anatomy there! Must not be him, then. Of course, everyone looks like they’re wearing too much eye shadow/eye liner, so maybe it was drawn by him.

Quote of the Day
While sitting at Village Inn, a patron walked to the restroom. He was dressed, as best I could figure, as Vincent from the CBS television series Beauty and the Beast. I saw him as he turned the corner, but Vikki only caught the back of his head. When he exited, she saw the rest of his makeup and costume, which led to the following:
Vikki: “Oh, okay… that makes more sense. When I saw him before, I thought he was a Saskatchewan or something.”
Me: “You mean a ‘sasquatch?’ ”
Vikki: “Sasquatch… yeah… One of those northern things.”
It took a lot of willpower to not laugh hysterically at that. So, I laughed quietly, with my head on the table.
Namaste.
