Saturday : 17 December 05
It’s been a good – and productive – day.

I had lunch with and . Good food and good company. After that, it was off to Dr. Volt’s to pick up my four-color print goodness. I also picked up three Heroclix:

• Magma (one of the second wave of the New Mutants)
• Quicksilver and
• War Machine

Then, it was time to get some Christmas shopping taken care of. And, I got a good portion of it wrapped up in fairly short order. There are still a couple of loose ends to tie up, but I’m pretty much set at this point.

For the big finale: My reservations for flying home are set. I leave Saturday morning, bright and early. I was able to get a flight into Greensboro for a decent fare; I was floored by that. And, I’ll be there in plenty of time to go to Midnight Mass with my uncle.

Stray Toasters

• Since it moved to Sunday nights, I’ve been missing The West Wing. I was shocked to find out that John Spencer, who played Leo McGarry, died of a heart attack. I have been a fan of his since he was on L.A. Law.
• Don’t call it a comeback, I been here for years!
• I need a new calendar. I don’t know what I want to get, though: Planes, trains or something comic book-related.
• From Real Tech News: Ultimate Rant: Why Macs Suck

Quote of the Day
Tonight’s gem comes from Melody, manager of the Village Inn that we frequent; she was talking to Patrick:

“I’m going to have to move your sack of goodness!

She was referring to a bag of Christmas goodies that he had sitting next to him. But, it’s more amusing to add it to the Overheard Unintentional Porn list.

Namaste.
