And so, another month draws to a close.
Yin: I overslept this morning.
Yang: The barista at the caffeine dispensary made a mistake and gave me a large frozen mocha… for the price of a medium.
Starting tonight, I have the kids for a week.
I talked with Mom. She doesn’t remember talking with me yesterday… which I pretty much expected. She ‘splained what was wrong and what the surgery did – including the addition of a bit of titanium. I’m gonna start calling her X-23 or Lady Deathstrike from now on. I don’t think they added claws, but to err on the side of caution I’ll make sure that I’m out of arms’ reach before I call her either of those names.

- I took my morning constitutional a little while ago. As I walked past a bird, it warbled and flew off. I had a Dr. Doolittle moment and wondered what it would be like to know what it was “saying.” That hyperlinked to a mental image of Tarzan. Then things took an even more odd turn, as the next mental image that popped into my head was NOT Shanna, the She-Devil or even Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. Those, I could have fairly easily explained. No, the first post-Tarzan thought was Jana of the Jungle. Whiskey Tango…?!
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ opening date has been pushed up two days.
- Knowing his affinity for most things zombie, I pointed Tyranist in the direction of this item from Marvel’s website.
[11:16] Tyranist: Wow. I guess Zombies are marketing gold.
[11:31] shadorunr: Apparently so.
[11:31] shadorunr: Cold and (un)dead are the new “in” thing.
[11:31] Tyranist: And normally I like zombies. Just not Marvel’s version. They . . . uh . . . bite.
[11:31] shadorunr: *rimshot*
- My weekly work commute just got 32.31% shorter. (Where’d I put that Ares Alpha with grenade launcher…?)
scares me sometimes… such as when he shows me things like this. - By way of boingboing.net: The Battle of Ham’s Deep – Helm’s Deep made with Muppets
- I was a big fan of Jonny Quest back in the day. While I get that it’s a parody/satire, I am not such a fan of Venture Bros. However, there are two things from the show that make me smile:
- …and, speaking of Mr. Bowie: What in the Nine Hells is this?!
Time to pick up and put down heavy things.
Namaste.
