Tuesday
Today was the first day of the holiday-shortened work week. And it wasn’t bad. I think that I can handle this.

I got a call from a friend from whom I haven’t heard in MONTHS. She was calling to invite and me to her husband’s birthday get-together. Tomorrow night. She had to have known about this for… at least a year, give or take. And she waited until the day before to call? “Bad form, Peter.”

Tomorrow night is also supposed to be the kick-off of ‘ return to the World of Darkness setting – a game that I (and a few others) have been asking him to run for a few months. But, I digress…

I was also told that a couple of our other friends would be there. I called them to verify. Nope. My call was the first that one of them had heard of a party.

Sorry, but the track record, so far, is more than “a little” shoddy. Bottom line: I’m not sure whether I’ll head to the party or not. But I’m leaning towards having to “respectfully decline” the invitation.

  • I received a call from my father this evening. He was calling to let me know that he had made it home from my grandparents’ house in West Virginia. And to vent about some of the moronic things that people (non-family members) had done while he was there.

    He also mentioned a friend of my grandmother’s who passed away several years ago. When he did, it immediately reminded me of my visits to my grandparents’ house in “West-By-God” (as my father calls it) and visits their friend’s house. This friend taught me how to play Uno when I was a young boy. I’d go down to her house and we’d pass hours playing the game. I haven’t played Uno in a long time. I hadn’t thought about those old games in a long time, either.

  • And since we’re on the topic of simians: Gorillaz in the Mist
  • I’m not sure who slipped what into ‘s drink today, but she sent me this. Hallucinogens are the only thing that I can think of that could be the cause.
  • …although, she redeemed herself with Hello Cthulhu.

  • Does your ice cream need to be put under lock and key? Try this.
  • If you live in Utah, odds are better than even that you’ve heard of “Super” Dell Schanze, the owner of Totally Awesome Computers. (If you’re in/near Indiana and remember Don of Don’s Guns fame, he’s the same kind of guy… on crack!) It seems that “Super Dell” did something not-so-super and got some attention from the local authorities and news.
  • A little something for . (Last panel.)
  • Why am I so fond of tonight’s random Wikipedia page? Figure it out.

Namaste.
