Midweek. And only two more days to Watchmen.  And the new Star Trek trailer. Selah.
And, as if that’s not enough, it’s Comics and Sushi Wednesday.
Win-Win.

Last night, I headed to Chris’ for Round Two of our JLA/Injustice League fight. The match started off slowly, but we eventually moved our pieces into position for smacking each other’s teams around… and then both of us had to deal with hot and cold streaks with our dice. In the end, my dice decided to effectively go on holiday and Chris wound up with a win. We both enjoyed the fight with the two teams and may revisit this in the not-too-distant future. I think that our next match will be the (Teen) Titans vs. the X-Men.

• I neglected to take my camera to Chris’ last night, so no pics of the game… or of my two mods.
• By way of Nyx: How To Make an Anatomically Correct LEGO Cake
  (Despite it’s title, it’s quite work-safe.)
• The Repair Manifesto
• Design for a nine-square-foot house
• This user icon makes me laugh:

  

• Ladies and gentlemen… Morris Day and The Time!
  
  Morris Day & The Time – The Bird
• From The Daily What: Ways To Be Cool
• Christian salt, a wingnut alternative to kosher salt
• Smokey and the Bandit would have been a much different movie with a few of these…

Quote of the Day
Today’s gem comes from an NPR story about a man fighting court fees for badminton in San Francisco.

Today’s “Last Word in Business” comes from Ed Leong. The former San Francisco Housing Inspector is an avid player of badminton.  He’s been whacking shuttlecocks…. there’s a phrase that I didn’t know you could get away with saying on the radio….

You can find the story – and the audio (RealPlayer, I think) – here.

Namaste.
