Monday : 13 February 2006
Today is/was my next-oldest sib’s 28th birthday.
I am reminded of the first time that I saw her in the hospital: She stuck her tongue out at me.
Sure, some would say “Oh, that’s just a newborn reflex or something.”
I’m pretty sure that it was planned.
Either way, she’s turned out to be a very nice young woman and someone whom I am happy to call my sister. (Most of the time.)1

I stopped in the local office to pick up a few things before work. Of the three people whom I needed to see, only one was there. *sigh* So, I’ll have to stop in again on Thursday to get what I couldn’t get this morning. Oh na. The rest of the workday was pretty good… even if there wasn’t any kite-flying involved. (Must remember to take other kite to work…) There weren’t any fires to put out or any monkeys to punch. And, I got to talk comics for a few minutes with a coworker.

Post-work, I had dinner with and at Cafe Med. Then, there was a trip to Tech Mecca. I mean “Best Buy.” Then it was back home. Jiggety jig. A little later, I wound up going back out for a drive. Agitation. Irritation. Blah. By the time I got back, I felt a good bit better.

Stray Toasters

  • I was listening to a Whitney Houston song on the radio this morning. (Yes, I freely admit this. In fact, I’ll even admit that her Whitney CD was the second CD I owned, bought for me by my late uncle.) It’s a shame that she – and her career – has fallen off the map… which I mostly attribute to getting drawn into the chaos whirlpool that surrounds Bobby Brown.
  • : Since I’m not sure which one(s) I have posted, you get the covers to LSH #16, #17 and #18.
  • In honor of St. Valentine’s Day I give you:
  • comes out in two (2) days! (Figure Set)
  • My Prerogative (Yeah, I know, I was giving Bobby crap earlier. *shrug* I like the song.)
  • Can the VP Cheney shooting incident be used as the impetus for the development of cyberpunk-style smartgun links?
  • Considering that I haven’t had any coffee since… roughly 3:00 or 4:00 PM, I am oddly wide awake.
  • “Great Caesar’s Ghost!”

  • From the “Ick!” file: Ice Machines Contain More Bacteria Than Toilet Bowl Water
  • Why does this sound like part-Micronauts and part-Pluto Nash?

It’s well past bedtime.

Namaste.

1 – Just kidding. She is a good person. And I love her. (Most of the time.)
