Monday – 19 March 2007
A new week begins.  And it began with caffeination.  Large.  Triple-shot.  Selah.

All-in-all, the weekend was good.  Lazy, but good.  Saturday, I spent the early part of the day doing… a lot of nothing.  Went to lunch.  Went to Best Buy and reveled in consumerism.  Maybe “reveled in” is a bit of an overstatement, but I bought a few things that I’ve had my eye on:

After a quick stop at Hoppers for a couple of growlers of Madame X Stout – to help celebrate Green Lantern Day – it was off to ‘ for a World of Darkness game.  That’s right… I got to dust off an old character sheet.  And, as an added bonus, wound up playing her character from that same setting.  And hilarity (and mayhem) ensued.Yesterday, I wound up heading to Borders and doing a little drawing.  And I mean “a little.”  Only did two:  One with my wood mannequin and Stikfas figure; another with a Rocket Red HeroClix.  was there and Mr. and Mrs. put in an appearance as well.  Then came the shopping for groceries.  And then, hometime; I watched Superman Returns.  I like that movie… and its adaptation of the original John Williams score.  I’m probably in the minority, but I like Can You Read My Mind as the “love song/poem/thingamabob;”  I know that there are some fans of the first movie who absolutely abhor it.  *shrug*  Oh, well.
Tonight, there are D&D goings-on.  Hopefully, we won’t have our collective recta handed to us on silver-plated trays… but the possibility exists.

Stray Toasters

  • I found this to be amusing… and somewhat true:
  • found a link to a video for one of my favorite Dire Straits songs: Romeo & Juliet.  Good song, I’m a little torn, though, about whether I prefer the Dire Straits version or the Indigo Girls version of the song.
  • There is no love untouched by hate.
    No unity without discord.
    There is no courage without fear.
    There is no peace without a war.
    There is no wisdom without regret.
    No admiration without scorn.
    There is strife within the tempest.
    There is calm in the eye of the storm.

  • Remote Desktop is my friend.

Whoosh!

Namaste.
