Friday : 02 December 05
Five between the eyes and this week is over.

Today was a good day. It was busy, but not like the past couple of days – I actually managed to sneak in a couple of breaths. Around 2 O’Clock, I saw a faint trace of blue sky, peeking through the drab grey fog and clouds that had been draped over Happy Valley Utah Valley. It put a smile on my face. I was also glad to see that the blue area spread until most of the cloud cover was gone.

Tonight’s Clitorati group was smallish, but good. At one point, Josh asked if I was aware that there was a new Superman movie coming out. This made me chuckle. I told him that I’d been following the (lack of) progress of the new film for roughly fifteen years. That somehow spiraled into a general comic book conversation between , Josh, and me. All right, “conversation” might be too strong a word; “a discussion led by me” might be a little more apropos. But, hey… how often do I get to geek out comic book-related things?

Thursday : 01 December 05
Another one down. And it was a busy one. Hectic, even. But it wasn’t “bad.”

Tonight’s CSI was a rerun. So, I flipped channels. For the first time in… a long time, I watched part of South Park. Seven kids, a whale and a rocket. รƒยต.รƒโ€ After that, I channel-surfed some more and found Star Wars: Empire of Dreams.

There’s talk of possible snowfall tonight or tomorrow. Whoop-de-fuck.

That’s it for now.

Namaste.
