Sunday
Today’s been a good day. I spent the early part of it trying to be productive. No, really. I did! Stop laughing. That’s just mean.

*sigh*

Like I said: I tried to be productive. However, the table that now resides along the north wall was begging to be utilized. So, I accommodated it. I put my LEGO® train together. Well, I started putting it together… a little before Kate, Perry and Max came over. (I managed to get the engine and coal car assembled before they arrived.) We hung out. We had dinner. We sat around and talked some more. I even managed to keep Max off the XBox tonight… by showing him the joys of railroading.

After they left, I assembled the passenger car, freight car and caboose while watching the World Poker Tour on The Travel Channel. I finished the cars and added them to the train. Here’s the end result. I watched the train around its oval many times. Sissy and the twins weren’t exactly sure what to make of it, though. Next up: The Rokenbok monorail.

Monday is Martin Luther King Day. If you are fortunate enough to have the day off, please do not simply look at it as “…just another holiday.” If you haven’t done so before, why not take some time to learn about both the holiday and the man that it commemorates?

Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.

Stray Toasters

  • According to Human for Sale, I’m worth $2,465,492.00.
  • Alan Davis is drawing Uncanny X-Men. That’s a good combination.
  • So how did you get to be a Nazi? –
  • Cotton candy. Two bags. *nod*
  • Electronic Arts is thinking about creating a television show… based on… The Sims. Do we really need this?
  • I still need to lobotomize DS9 and I believe that Defiant will be put in spacedock for a refit, too – it will become a Linux or FreeBSD laptop. If nothing else, that will force me to wrap my brain around the *nix OS.
  • : This week’s high score was 181.
  • Saturday, we picked up a dining room set and a futon from ‘s sister. With the addition of the new futon, we actually have a real, honest-to-goodness “guest room.” Of course, it’s currently being used as a transition room, while we find homes for the things that we (still) haven’t unpacked.
  • We can walk our road together
    If our goals are all the same
    We can run alone and free
    If we pursue a different aim.

  • : Here’s an interview about Hayao Miyazaki

That’s it for tonight this morning.

Namaste.
