Monday – 30 May 2007
And so, another week begins.

Fortunately, it’s a short week… and a week that will end with me on the Right Coast – Kris (Sib3) graduates from law school this weekend.  Of course, that also means that it will be a busy weekend.  Oh, well… no rest for the wicked.

Yesterday, I made it to the second game of Patryck’s double-header.  The umpire was ludicrously inconsistent with his calls – one pitch would be a ball; another, in the same spot would be a strike.  It wasn’t pretty.  But, Patryck’s team won, so I guess that’s all that really matters in the long run.  After that, I stopped in to see and Matt.  Enchiladas!  Homemade enchiladas, at that!  TASTY homemade enchiladas, even.  Then, home to take care of a few things… including making a mess of my kitchen, because it’s much better to pour rice all over the stove and floor than into the pot of near-boiling broth.  *sigh*

Stray Toasters

• I just caught myself humming the theme to Spider-Man.  The 60’s cartoon theme, that is.
• The Spidey saga suits Sam Raimi
• I’m still taking suggestions for the next lyrics-to-drawing and webcomic I should be reading.
• How the Internet took over
  (“Skynet is now online…”)
• Tyranist is/was right: There are no more – or at least very few – big surprises in comics anymore.  Publishers just seem to give away the big reveals… sometimes, even before the series is released.  Although, I will admit that DC has done a good job of leaving some mysteries in 52.
• Pro-coffee tee tweaks Mormon Church, Church responds with trademark threat
• I unintentionally started a mini-flame war yesterday.
  …and then fiddled while Rome burned.
• One more day until Snakes & Arrows is released.  Officially.
• The Black Crowes – Sometimes Salvation
• I am actually starting to look forward to Jon Favreau’s Iron Man.  Weird.
• I am looking forward to Spider-Man 3 and FF2.
• Other Heroes: African-American comics creators, characters and archetypes

Namaste.
