Saturday – 22 August 2009
So far, it’s been a somewhat lazy day.

There was sleeping in; that was especially nice, as I didn’t sleep very well. Pancakes and coffee… and then we went to meet Perry and the boys for coffee. (Fortunately, we’d had coffee with breakfast, because the coffee at the bookstore left quite a bit to be desired.)

After that, we headed to Hastur’s Hobbies; I needed some gold and silver paint – I’m in the mood to mod some figures. I was also on the lookout for some modeling putty. It was right next to the paint, which made things quite easy: In. Checkout. Gone.

Stray Toasters

• posted a link to: Bringing science back into America’s sphere
• I’ve found some interesting papercraft things online to add to my ‘Clix house. I just need to do some calculatin’ to get them into the right scale. And, in a couple of cases, I need to put some textures on pieces, so they aren’t just stark white.
• My Thor’s Mighty Chariot HeroClix figure , from NECA’s upcoming Hammer of Thor set, arrived yesterday.

  

• BudgetTravel’s “World’s Weirdest Hotels”
• Starting here, Real Life Comics featured a fun, fan-driven/-created story over the course of this week. Thursday’s comic was particularly amusing and absurd.
• Puzzle Cube Alarm Clock
• By way of comes How Things Are(n’t) Made
• The Force is strong in this one…
• I’m still trying to decide if I want to go see Al Jarreau at the Park City Jazz Festival tomorrow evening…

Later: A trip to Hobby Lobby and other shenanigans.

Namaste.
