Thursday : 25 August 05
It was a day without caffeine. No one should have to endure that. But, I made it. Just like Rush’ Tom Sawyer, I got right on to the friction of the day. And it wasn’t a bad day, either. Work proceeded apace and the lunchtime gym visit was good.

Tonight was “Rescheduled Shadowrun Game Night”. All the pieces are starting to come together now:

    One character’s past has come back to haunt him.
    One character’s present has collided with the aforementioned past.
    One character’s future will depend on the path that he chooses to aid a friend.
    One character’s deepest fears will confront him in dark corners of the night… and day.
    One character’s path will yet be decided.

The team will be busy dealing with the simple task of surviving. But, I think that they are up to the challenge.

The High-Flying Adventures of Indigo Bolt
That’s right: “High-Flying.”
Not “hovering.”
Not “falling.”

Flying.
Just like the Nun.

As said:

: you’ll have to ditch the bolty part when you can fly though.
: ooooh.
: Something to work up to.
: I like!
: 😀
: So, flying would be like graduation from “still wet behind the ears” to full-fledged superhero.
: Exactly!
: Move your tassle to the other side, now fly.

And with that in mind…

  • Brock Peters (To Kill a Mockingbird) died this week. He portrayed Admiral Cartwright in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, as well as Joseph Sisko (Capt. Benjamin Sisko’s father) on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He was also the voice of Lucius Fox on Batman: The Animated Series.
  • For (from Broken Frontier’s look at Teen Titans #27):

    There’s pretty much two schools of thought when it comes to Rob Liefeld– he’s the perfect example of a “love him or hate him” artist. There are people that swear by Liefeld, who love his artwork and will see this book as a chance to see him on a group of superheroes they’ve never seen him on before. Then there are the others, who point to problems with his anatomy and proportions, who will complain about his inability to draw feet, and who will point out his storytelling is sometimes suspect. If you love Liefeld, you’ll like the work he does here. If you don’t, well, don’t buy this book. The anatomy and feet drawing problems run rampant.

    No, it’s most likely NOT what you’re thinking.
    Yes, it’s work-safe.

  • When the rumors of an X-Men movie first came out, friends and I would come up with casting ideas for the various roles. Three of my choices would have been: Louis Gossett, Jr. as Professor X and either Iman or Angela Bassett as Storm. Given the diva-riffic attitude that a certain Ms. Berry has exhibited over the past couple of years, I think that either Mrs. Bowie (Yeah… that Bowie) or Ms. Bassett would have made an excellent Ororo Munroe.
