Thursday : 02 March 2006
A good Thursday, indeed.

The workday was good and it came without any fires or wanting to banish anyone to the far side of Jupiter. I stopped in the SLC office to pick up a couple of things… and wound up with a lot more than I had intended. It was like Christmas in March. The sad thing is that I wound up requesting even more stuff, later in the day. Oh, well… nature of the beast, I guess. We skipped today’s lunchtime workout, so Tuesday’s workout will be a lot of “Yep, we haven’t been here in a week” fun. Bring on the liniment!

Tonight, I had dinner with . We gabbed for a while and then headed to her place for a bit where we hung out with , and BabyArmadillo42. We started watching River’s Edge. Odd movie. But, it had Crispin Glover, Dennis Hopper and Keanu Reeves in it… so what do you expect? In an amusing turn, I picked up my Schoolhouse Rock! CD set from while I was there. The CD set that I was positive was here at the house. So much so that I had been looking all over for it, because “…it [had] to be in the (fill-in-the-room).” It made me laugh to discover that I had completely forgotten that I had loaned it to him.

Stray Toasters

  • I know that it will be a definite “Please disable/turn off/remove brain before entering” affair, but I kind of want to see Ultraviolet.
  • Bring on the Bad Guys – “What would comics be without supervillains to make us worry for the hero’s well-being?”
  • …and with that in mind: “I tell ya, hombre… it just ain’t easy being a supervillain.” –
  • Disney Main Street built from LEGO bricks
  • : I still like “Conjunction Junk-Jen” and “Jenetic Defect.”
  • – The Diane Rehm Show: Michelle Singletary: Your Money and Your Man
    I listened to this on the way to work. It was a really good segment on financial planning. Michelle Singletary was funny and personable, yet still imparted some rather solid information. I know that Diane Rehm’s voice doesn’t appeal to everyone, but I recommend listening to this segment.

  • Steampunk + Transformers = ???
  • Do you ride public transportation in Orange County, California? If so, you might want to read about how a young lady was given a citation on a bus… because she was listening to her iPod.
  • : Long-lost Penn and Teller videogame available for download
  • Marvel Comics has been setting up a storyline – spanning a few titles – in which the Black Panther is looking for a bride. Storm, of the X-Men, has been touted as the odds-on favorite to become the Queen of Wakanda. I’ve known about this for months. However, it took reading this blurb…

    “‘Bride of the Panther,’ Part 1 of 5. Every King needs a Queen — and that’s exactly what the Black Panther is searching for! Hop on board here, True Believer, as the King of Wakanda embarks on an epic quest to find a wife — the outcome of which will send reverberations throughout the whole Marvel Universe.”

    …for me to think of it in terms of Eddie Murphy’s Coming to America… and it made me laugh.

Namaste.
