Monday – 08 January 2007
Today started the first full work week since before Christmas.  I’ll have to see if I remember how they are supposed to go.  Today wasn’t bad, though.  I started it with frozen mocha goodness.  Then, it was time to fight the road monkeys on the trek south.   The work day was good, too.

After work, I ran a couple of errands, picked up something to eat and headed to ‘ place for tonight’s D&D game.  We finally completed our quest.  We had some help.  In fact, we used a rather unique solution that satisfied the conditions of our goal.  And each of our characters learned a little – and I do mean “little” – something about our futures.

Home to unwind and get in a patrol in Paragon City.  Security Level 49 is only 489,000 away.

Stray Toasters

  • I found a site called Emerald Dawn this afternoon.  Dedicated to all things Green Lantern.  It reminded me that I neglected to note one of my Christmas presents: got me a Green Lantern ring.  My inner comic geek was tickled pink… um… “green.”
  • : Would you tell Chris that Frank Welker may be in talks to provide the voice of Megatron, please?
  • M. Night Shyamalan and Paramount are teaming up for a big screen adaptation of Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender
  • A few weeks ago, I mentioned the Sith Pope and the Iron Prophet and my regret that they were never billed together as a cage match in Vegas (MORAL KOMBAT!!!!)  What I didn’t know was that there was another potential contender: Pat Robertson – The Bionic Evangelist.  How he slipped under the radar – and remained there for so long – is beyond me.  Watch as the 74-year-old televangelist leg presses 1,000 lbs (454.5 kg).  What is the secret of his strength? Could he be a modern-day Samson… or is there something more sinister going on behind the scenes?
  • is still not allowed to buy/play with Superman and Batman figures.
  • Dracula’s Castle for sale in Romania
  • Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?   And, while we’re at it… Where’s Waldo?  Are they together?  Are they “together?”  You never see – or don’t see, as the case may be – the two of them together.  Hell… are they the same person?!  If so, it would be one of the greatest secret identity coups since Jonathan Kent taught Clark just how effective a pair of glasses can be as a disguise.

Quote of the Day
From tonight’s game session:

: “I can fondle it, I just can’t stare at it…”

Namaste.
