Friday
I took the day off so that I could take care of a few things. But that still left the better part of the day to do whatever I wanted. And I did. One of those things was to pick up my comics from Hastur’s. I didn’t have time to wander leisurely, but I shall… soon.

After last night’s late-night editing session, I was zombie-like this afternoon. I took a nap. I intended it to last about 00:30, but it wound up being somewhere in the 01:30 range. I remember waking up after the allotted half-hour… and deciding that “a few more minutes” wouldn’t hurt. Apparently, I needed the rest. Post-nap, it was closing in on dinner time. Feeling carnivorous, The Outback was the most desirable option. Jess, Robert and I dined well.

  • I don’t recall how or where I came across this.
  • The 35th Anniversary Issue of Rolling Stone is out this week. The cover story is “American Icons.” I’m curious as to what archetypes they assert as iconic. However, I did read the article by Kevin Smith (yes, THAT Kevin Smith) on superheroes as icons. Imagine that. It was a spot-on assessment.
  • – Two things: 1) According to the aforementioned Rolling Stone, Peaches is working on a new CD. It is scheduled for a fall release. 2) The Science of the Moist Towelette, from Slashdot.
  • Fosters. Australian for “beer.”
  • From the “You Can’t Be Serious” news files comes this item. Civilization. Drain. Circle.
  • Slickdeals and Techdeals. Check ’em out.
  • A few weeks ago, I made a comment about a live-action Pac-Man movie being in the works. According to this, it seems that the rumors were true. The article also talks about other game-to-film adaptations that are in the wings.

Namaste.
