Tuesday
Woke up this morning.
Observed the hygiene rituals.
Got coffee and bagelettes.
Went to work.
Came home.

But, it was a great-looking and rather temperate day: Sunny, relatively warm. In a nutshell: Nice.

Song of the Day:

  • Grandma’s Hands by Bill Withers
  • Grandma (Interlude) by Wreckx N EffectNPR and PRI Stories
  • All Things ConsideredStray Toasters
  • I talked to my uncle this evening. He was giving me a recap of how the snow had affected the area of New York in which he lives; they got roughly 19″ of the stuff. I told him that we’d been having fairly decent, if cold, weather here. And no snow.
  • Neil Gaiman is coming to Salt Lake City. Who would have thought it possible…? (Note: I was just looking at that site and noticed that where it should have said “…free to the public” it actually says “…free to the pubic.” Sigmund Freud would have probably had a field day with that one.
  • and I were talking about candy/candy bars last night. The conversation reminded me of the Eddie Murphy skit from Raw about the two guys in the concessions line at a movie theatre… and the 22 lbs of Jujubees that I sent to a friend as payback for his “creative” decoration of my car.
    Jujubees. They’re not just a candy. They’re retribution in a box.
  • I have known for some time that Kelsey Grammar (of Cheers and Frasier fame) was done the voice of Sideshow Bob on The Simpsons. What I did not know was that David Hyde Pierce, who plays Frasier’s brother Niles, did at least one episode of the show as Sideshow Bob’s brother, Cecil. It was almost like watching an animated episode of Frasier… with Bart Simpson.And now, off to see if I can locate my copies of Smoke and Mirrors and The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes. Of course, that could wait until tomorrow and I could just get some sleep. Hmm. Sleep. Yes, that would be a good thing, I think.

    Namaste.
