Wednesday – 25 November 2009
Today’s got so much going for it, I don’t think that you could cram anything else into it: It’s the middle of the week, but it’s also “Technical Friday.” It’s Comics and Sushi Wednesday. It’s the first day of Hajj, as well as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. And, it’s the day before Thanksgiving. *whew* I defy you you try packing more into a day that this.

Last night, SaraRules and I watched the NCIS block on CBS and, after a quick excursion to the local Target – where we once again ran into ex-coworker Brooke – I set about finishing up some paperwork for work. Yay.

Stray Toasters

• Late yesterday afternoon, I got a surprise call from a friend I haven’t spoken with in… close to a year, at least. Schedules, go figure. It was a great way to wrap up the work day.
• Runaway with Asperger’s Syndrome Spent 11 Days on Subway
• Indian Colors, American Fashion
• Hot Caramel Mocha goodness…
• New Disney Princess movie sounds pretty good

  

• National Gaming Day at libraries a massive success
• Michelle Obama racist image sparks Google apology
• Velocity of Media Comsumption: The Web vs. TV
• sent me a link to a video from this summer’s San Diego Sandy Eggo Comic Con, in which Kevin Smith gives his (NSFW, use headphones) opinion about the Twilight phenomenon (do DO do-do-do!):

• Bad-ass Mad Max campout weekend, complete with working gyrocopter
• Sometime between tonight and tomorrow morning, I shall be making two pies: a Chocolate Cream Pie and a Sweet Potato Pie.
• Airlines fined for overnight stranding in Minneapolis

It’s very quiet in the office today. What does that mean? Simply put: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is going on my big monitor in just over a half-hour.  Win!

Namaste.
