Friday – 10 December 2010
It’s my day off. I’m trying to decide what to do with the day. has suggested a possible trip to Hobby Stop, which seems like a good suggestion. Other than that, “…the future is wide open,” as Tom Petty said.
It’s my day off. I’m trying to decide what to do with the day.
Last night, SaraRules! and I decided to go out for an impromptu date night. We saw Harry Potter and Six Months in the Woods the Deathly Hallows (Part I). I realized that it’s apparently been “a while” since I’ve read the book, as there were a few things that didn’t quite seem to fit what I recall from the novel. *shrug* Not a big deal. All-in-all, the movie was entertaining.
Stray Toasters
- I just got back from coffee with
, Perry and the kids. It was a far better way to kick off the weekend than just sitting around the house, waiting for the garage door opener installer to show up… which I’m now doing. - New SUPERMAN Writer Fills JMS’ Shoes But Walks Own Path
- Must There Be a Superman? – The story that Roberson referenced in the interview
- SantaCon is coming to town…
- Neil Armstrong personally responds to an NPR correspondent’s rhetorical moon-landing questions
Hmm… based on that second grey section, maybe Michael Bay’s take on the moon landing (as seen in the Transformers 3 trailer) wasn’t so far off. - Modern Treasure Hunts for the Whole Family
- The Doc and Rooch Show – lots of interesting O-Scale railroading videos
- I’m not typically a huge Conan O’Brien fan. (There, I said it.) This morning, there was an item on DC Comics’ Facebook page titled “Conan Gets Animated,” with the following description:
Since the WB lot is home DC Comics, Conan realizes his dream of becoming a superhero!
Well, then. With a lead-in like that, I was curious. Conan and a camera crew headed over to the WB animation studios and talked with Peter Girardi and then had a character drawn… by Bruce Timm:
- Renee Fleming to be Consultant at Lyric Opera of Chicago
- Wine Library TV
- From the “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot…?!” file: Goat heads left on Hyde Park doorsteps
- Sports Stars Seek Profit in Catchphrases
- I just got pocket-dialed by a friend from back home. Naturally, I called him back and we chatted for about 10 minutes. It was a nice surprise.
Okay… off to wait some more.
Namaste.
