Thursday
Not too bad a day. The only real ‘problem’ came when a wire came loose from our punch-down box. It had to be reseated, but that didn’t take too long… and it shouldn’t be a problem again.

It’s been a quiet night of C.S.I., TechTV, Cartoon Network… and a lot of drawing.

Song of the Day

  • Dead Man’s Party by Oingo Boingo
  • Dead Man Walking by David Bowie
  • Drop Dead Gorgeous by Republica

Stray Toasters

  • There’s a new bill in the works that would make file sharing an automatic felony. ( O_o) Read about it here.
  • “Hullo” to Nancy Pistofgrl!
  • Exiled poets share experiences
  • Ray Charles. Nuff said.
  • I just saw a Metamucil commercial where they attribute the regularity Old Faithful’s eruptions to… you guessed it…. Metamucil. Now, when you think about it, that’s a rather graphic method for getting a point across. Effective, yes. But still just a bit out there.
  • Excerpted from an IRC conversation:

    [18:46] [Nizlee] “A German man who confessed to killing and eating a man he met through a website for cannibals has been charged with murder, prosecutors have said”
    [18:46] [Nizlee] O_O
    [18:46] [Nizlee] I don’t know where to begin…
    [18:53] Yeah, I saw that.
    [18:53] [Nizlee] I…I…
    [18:55] *shrug*
    [18:56] [Nizlee] I worry about this planet…
    [18:56] The planet’s okay.
    [18:56] [Nizlee]
    [18:56] It’s the hairless apes running around on it that should give you concern.

  • A new Cadillac commercial was just on. It had Led Zepplin’s Rock and Roll playing in the background. Then it cut to different drivers in their cars… singing along with the band. One of the drivers seemed to be getting into the song as he drove. I wonder if that’s what I look like to other drivers (and their passengers) when a song that I really like comes on? Doesn’t really matter. It’s the mood and the music that matter.
  • I’ve been working on a couple of drawings over the past few days.
    This is the original – Alex Ross’ cover to Wonder Woman: Spirit of Truth

    This was what I did Monday night, while gaming:

    This is the most recent and larger version – a work-in-progress:
    (This is taking a l-o-n-g time to do, but I’m actually enjoying it.)

  • K-9 Officer Dies Inside Hot Police Car This is sad. You would think that something like this could be avoided, especially given the number of alerts and warnings out there about the dangers of leaving one’s child and/or pet in a car in the summer.
  • Thanks to for pointing this out. We have a running joke about pirates; seeing this made me laugh.

Namaste.
