Sunday
The “Weekend of Laziness” continues!

Tomorrow, however, I’m on the road to Moab again. This will be another two-site trip: One sub-grade, one inside. The weather forecast looks promising. That’s a plus.

Today was hang-around-the-house day, with a minor excursion to pick up a few items I’ll need for the Moab trip. And a package of Heroclix. Of course. I was pleased with three of the four figures; the fourth was all right, but not one that I really care about. C’est la vie. and came over to hang out for a while this evening.

I discovered something amazing this afternoon: There is a floor in the HCC. A real, honest-to-goodness floor. I had heard rumors and legends about it being there. But, I had nearly given up hope of ever seeing it. At least in this lifetime. I was so amazed, I took a picture of it with my new phone.

Make that “I discovered TWO amazing things today:” I found out that a very good friend of mine from home has started an LJ. Please drop a welcoming “Hullo” to . We met many rains past, through her husband. And in related “It’s a small world, after all” news: It seems as though and “know” each other, from a Yahoo group. Who knew?!

Since I’m going to be away for the next few days, I’ll go ahead and say “Happy Birthday” to the February-born LJers now:

  • I sat down to watch Saturday’s episodes of Teen Titans and Justice League Unlimited this afternoon. Only to see that I had recorded an hour’s worth of static. And not Static Shock. I remember setting the VCR last night. I even made sure that the DSS receiver was set to Cartoon Network. But still… nothing.

    The problem: After moving the DirecTV receiver last week, I changed the VCR’s signal input from coaxial to composite. I neglected to change the input source in the recording program. Now, I have to wait for the episode to show up on Usenet. *sigh*

  • Nox and I were talking about comics this evening and he brought up a very interesting point: Despite the fact that Wolverine is in so many Marvel Comics titles, he’s not written as well as he could be. An almost unlimited healing factor? Unbreakable bones? Dogged determination? And, let’s face it: He’s not exactly “Mr. Sunshine.” Given all that, the powers-that-be could do a lot more with him.

    I countered with the fact that since Marvel has taken the… “initiative” (?) to “clean up” their heroes (no smoking, limited drinking, etc), it isn’t as easy to portray a truly bad-ass Wolverine, although it might be possible in Marvel’s “MAX” (their more mature themes/stories) line.

Quote of the day

: How’s your day going?
: sfsg
: ok, I’m a little slow today. all I get out of that is “same ducking shit god”
: “so far so good”
: ahh…yeah. I think I need a nap. =/

Considering what time I have to get up in the morning, I should have been in bed long ago. Time to fix that. See you on the other side of Wednesday.

Namaste.
