Friday
The Doctor is in…

The work day moved along nicely. For a change of pace, instead of going to the mall for Mallday, we went to Olive Garden. Chicken Giardino with Pasta e Fagioli, with frozen raspberry lemonade. Tasty. I don’t think that many/any of us wanted to go back to work after lunch. But, we did. And, a few hours later, my work week was done. I went to Costco with … and I walked out empty-handed.

Tonight’s Clitorati gathering was good. played hooky, sort of, from work and was there. My superpower kicked in and I Charlie hooked me up with a free piece of Totally Turtle Cheesecake. I also picked up copies of the X-Men: Days of Future Past and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies trade paperbacks. Then, it was on to dinner. One of our more interesting dinner conversation threads dealt with song lyrics that we misheard/mis-sang. Some of the “lyrics” were just plain scary. And funny.

Stray Toasters

  • I like the “Brushed” theme for Firefox.
  • Neal Stephenson talks about the old and the new Star Wars
  • , I think that you’ll appreciate this: I received an email from this evening. In it was a link to a Flash animation that someone did to Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire. In it, we are given pictures to go along with the vocal timeline that the song provides. And, as if that wasn’t enough: There are even subliminal messages interspersed throughout the video. It’s pretty neat… and you can even save the file to your hard drive.
  • I know that it may be hard to believe, but Apple is the current fastest-growing brand.
  • According to a poll, people prefer to see movies at home. I was never asked. *hmph* I might be old-fashioned in my tastes, but some movies just have to be seen on the silver screen.
  • : I think that this sounds right up your alley.
  • By way of : Walk Smash Walk.
  • “Checkmate.”

    Quote of the Day
    After and I left the Costco, we saw an older gentleman in a Cadillac Escalade… who looked like he was going to flip a U-turn directly in our path. Without missing a beat, she looked at the driver and said:

    “What’s with all the white people driving Escalades?! And look at this guy! What’s my grandpa doing driving an Escalade?!?

    We both got a good laugh out of it.

    And with that…

    The Doctor is out.

    Namaste.
