Once again: Up at 6:00. But, I managed to nod off again until a little after 10:00. So, it wasn’t a complete loss.

SaraRules and I got up, observed the hygiene rituals, had breakfast and then she started packing for summer camp her internship in Colorado. When she was (nearly) done, I asked if she wanted to go with me to run a couple of errands before she took off. She agreed… and we were off:

  1. Trip to one of the local Deseret Industries locations to drop off three boxes of clothes. Unfortunately, they were closed for the holiday, so I still have three boxes of clothes in the car.
  2. Trip to Expercom to pick up some new memory for SaraRules’ PinkBook. We ran into there. Random. There was a new employee in the store; when he rang up the memory, it came up at FOUR TIMES the price listed Expercom’s website. Needless to say, I was “a little” concerned by this. The more seasoned employee looked over at the screen, pushed a few buttons and the price dropped down to a much more reasonable rate… and so did my blood pressure.

Home again, home again.

SaraRules did more packing and I set about putting more ‘Clix away in their new homes. I still have a plethoric butt-load of them to deal with, but I’ve reclaimed a large portion of the floor. I still need to figure out who I want to use in tomorrow’s tournament.

Speaking of which, tomorrow will be a two-game day: I have the ‘Clix tournament at 5:00 and Scion around 7:30… or whenever I get done with the tourney. This should be interesting.

SaraRules decided that she doesn’t want to deal with the weather, so she’s leaving in the morning. Win-win!

  • I chatted with a little while ago. Rana and Grace are on their way back to the States; they should arrive tomorrow. He also shared an amusing story:

    rana is in full mother hen mode too
    today on the flight to bkk
    some chick went to compliment her on how good grace was the entire flight
    and then the asshole went to touch grace on the face
    rana said she wanted to punch her in the gut
    i would’ve bought her a car if she did that
    talk about an awesome story
    “i had to bail my wife out of a thai jail for punching an asshole in the gut”

  • The original Indiana Jones: Otto Rahn and the temple of doom
  • will be able to appreciate this:

  • By way of Comics2Film: G.I. Joe‘s bloody Baroness
  • Iron Man has grossed over $252 million (USD) since opening almost four weeks ago.
    It had a $140 million (USD) budget.
    If the honchos at Marvel Studios aren’t happy about these numbers, I don’t know what will do it for them.
