Wednesday
I went to ‘s this morning to help reconnect the trailer to her truck. We disconnected it yesterday so that she didn’t have to drive around town last night/this morning with a trailer full o’ stuff.

We went to Mimi’s Cafe for lunch and some casual chat before she took off. When we got back to the house, it only took a few minutes to get the truck into position and crank down the trailer. Shortly after that, I left. About forty-five minutes later, I received a call from saying that she and the dogs were on the road and under way.

Tonight was Game Night. I was able to make it for the first time in at least three sessions. It was fun. I think that we accomplished a few things to move the story along. After the game broke up, , , Chris and I sat around and talked. Chris and I may feed our plastic crack addiction tomorrow afternoon and play a game or two of Heroclix.

Stray Toasters

  • For the past week or so, when I’ve gotten into the shower in the morning, I’ve had part of the chorus of The Presidents of the United States of America’s Bath of Fire running through my head. It didn’t dawn on me until I was sitting at Nyx and Nox’ this evening and the song came up in the mp3 rotation.
  • , I know that you don’t need more ‘bright and shiny objects,’ but I think that you might enjoy a few of these.
  • …and I think that you might like this, too.
  • Power Pack is 20 years old. Wow. I remember when it first hit the stands. I think that I still have Issue #1 in my collection back home.

  • Eldritch Press – Free, accessible books in the public domain.
  • I really used to like Bobby Brown’s My Prerogative; it was my unofficial theme song back in 1987/1988. Oh the joys of being a college freshman… I’ve heard Britney Spears’ cover of it. It really doesn’t do much for me. But, then again, not a lot of her work does. *shrug*
  • “This isn’t how I wanted to go!! I’m not rich, I’m not drunk, I’m not naked, and I’m certainly not all three simultaneously!”

Yep. Definitely time to call it a night.

Namaste.
