Sunday – 14 December 2008
Quiet, lazy morning following a quiet, lazy evening. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.

After running a few Christmas shopping errands in the snow yesterday, SaraRules and I came back to my place, put our feet up and vegged in front of the TV. We watched an episode of NCIS from a couple of weeks back; it was good… and it ended a little differently than I was expecting. That was followed by the middle third of The Year Without a Santa Claus – I switched over just as they were starting the Snow Miser song. WIN! After that, we flipped back and forth between Superman: The Animated Series (The Last Son of Krypton, Pt 3, A Little Piece of Home and Feeding Time) and Justice League Unlimited (The Balance). I am very lucky that SaraRules doesn’t mind me being a big kid sometimes often.

We also decided to skip heading back out for breakfast last night. (Something about being in… and warm… and comfortable vs. heading back out in the cold – kind of a no-brainer there.)

This morning, we’ve watched the CBS and Fox pre-game shows. And the early games have just started. But, what I’m waiting for is the middle game: Pittsburgh at Baltimore.

Yep, it’s snowy. I’m not sure when it started snowing, but it dropped a few inches here in the valley and on the mountains.

This morning, I had a ‘Clix tourney: 900 points, unrestricted rules and no single figure under 150 points – although, you could add feats to characters to get them up to 150. I went with:

• Batman (Sinestro Corps)
• Crispus Allen LE (The Spectre)
• Dr. Strange
• Ms. Marvel (Skrull) and
• Sinestro

My first match was against Shane, who fielded three (3) Superman variants:

• Earth-2 Superman
• Kingdom Come Superman and
• Superman Prime.

Just looking at the table, I knew that was a loss waiting to happen. It was.

Next, I played against Ryan, who fielded four versions of Dr. Doom:

• Doom (2099)
• Doom (Secret Invasion)
• Doom (Supernova) and
• Victor Von Doom

I was able to take out both 2099 Doom and the Victor Von Doom… but lost on points in this one.

Last round was against Duane, who fielded a non-themed team:

• Batman (Sinestro Corps)
• Grodd (Sinestro Corps)
• Ms. Marvel (Skrull)
• Superman Prime

I lost this one on points, again, but it was a good fight. So, I wound up going 0-3, but I had fun. It seems that since I’ve changed my game strategy to “playing to have fun,” rather than “going to try to pummel someone into submission,” I’ve been enjoying the tournaments more… even when I lose.

Next up: Christmas shopping with SaraRules.

Later: Aside from trying to stay warm, who knows?

Namaste.

I was up at Far-Too-Early O’Clock again today because I had to be in at 7:00. Yay. But, I’m done at noon, so I shouldn’t kvetch too much. And the office moves/changes are coming along at a decent pace.

Last night, SaraRules came over and made a very tasty sauteed shrimp, mushroom and potato dish – served with rice pilaf and salad – that was very tasty. While we ate, we watched last week’s episode of CSI:, which had a solid bit of storytelling to it – not over the top, nothing “jump the shark” worthy, just a good story. And, as an added bonus (at least to me): Robert Guillaume was in the episode. We followed that with this week’s episode, which was also good… and was the first episode that included/featured Laurence Fishburne. After that, we caught the tail end of The Year Without a Santa Claus – Snow Miser and Heat Miser!!!

Next, we watched an episode of Justice League Unlimited, “Doomsday Sanction,” and The Herculoids.

Thursday – 11 December 2008
Welcome to another NBN Thursday.

Last night was a low-key stay-at-home night. And that was fine with me. I fixed a little dinner, watched some TV, enjoyed a visit from SaraRules, and read yesterday’s four-color haul. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday evening, if I do say so myself.

Chew on This: Food for Thought – Charitable Donations
Since I no longer work for the USPS, I don’t have Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) charitable contributions coming out of my check. That’s a shame, because I enjoyed being able to donate to charities that resonated with me.

Last year, I made something of a Christmas resolution: Select a charity and make a donation to it. After a bit of investigation, via Charity Navigator, I decided to donate to the Children’s Defense Fund. With Christmas rolling around again, I’m starting to think about this year’s giving. I may still give to CDF, but I’m weighing other options, as well.

To that end, I thought I’d solicit opinions of others to see what organizations they donate to or think of as worthwhile entities for donations. So, if you have an organization to whom you make charitable donations, I’d be interested in what it is and, if you’d care to do so, why you find it worthwhile.  Thanks!

Four-Color Coverage
There were a couple of noteworthy items in yesterday’s books:

• Justice League of America #27 – This issue featured the (long overdue) “integration” of the heroes of the Milestone Universe into the Mainstream DCU. It also featured the return of Doctor Light – the heroine, not the villain that the Teen Titans used to smack around back in the day. This issue had the return of Icon and the Shadow Cabinet… and setup the traditional “We’re here to save the day/world/universe/creation, and we’ll do it even if we have to go through you first” battle between the Shadow Cabinet and the JLA.
• Legion of Super-Heroes: The More Things Change

  

  When I saw this TPB in the store, it wasn’t a question of “Am I going to buy this,” it was more a question of “Am I going to be able to wait until I read everything else before reading it?” I was… and the journey to the 31st Century DCU was well worth the wait. The book reprints a number of Legion stories from the late 80s; some of the stories I had read, some I had not – this was during the time when there were two Legion books: The Legion of Super-Heroes (available at specialty shops only) and Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes (which was available at newstands, 7-11s and just about anywhere comics were sold). LSH was printed on high-quality Baxter paper; TotLSH was printed on newsprint and ran a one-year-long story… before reprinting the stories from LSH. (Oh, DC, you greedy double-dipping bastards…) If you’re a long-time Legion fan, this would make an excellent addition to your collection.

• Secret Invasion: Dark Reign #1 – The invasion is over and the aftermath is being dealt with. [SPOILER DELETED] has been charged with picking up the pieces of S.H.I.E.L.D. and putting things back in order. Their first order of business: Putting together an eerily Illuminati-like group to delegate authority… and responsibility. It’s an interesting premise, but I found myself distracted – not in a good way – by the artwork at some points, especially in panels involving Namor.

• I have wanted a Gamora HeroClix figure ever since Chris first used it to kick my butt. (And every time that it’s been used against me since then, too…) I’ve been watching eBay to see if one pops up at a reasonable price, but haven’t bid on one. Yesterday, while at Dr. Volt’s, I picked up a couple of boosters of Secret Invasion ‘Clix. There was a Gamora in one of them.

Wednesday – 10 December 2008
Last night, SaraRules and I met her parents for dinner at Hoppers. Repeat after me: “Madame X Stout.” I had the Steak Sandwich – every time I’ve had it, it’s had a section that’s been very tough/gristle-laden… last night was no exception, but the sandwich was still very good. They’ve added salmon to their winter menu; SaraRules’ folks both had salmon dishes and said that it was quite good.

SaraRules and I headed back to my place and started to watch There Will Be Blood. Just for the record:

Movie that starts slowly + Tired-from-waking-up-early Rob = Rob who nods off

We had to put the movie on hold until a later date… and I was in bed – and knocked out – a little after 11:00. I slept fine… but woke up at 4:30. Realizing that it was Ridiculous O’Clock, I went back to sleep until 6:00, when my upstairs neighbors’ dog decided to go on a barking jag. I could deal with it, but it sounded like someone else had a BIG issue with it – there was much (LOUD) knocking on the door upstairs after about 20 minutes of barking. It was oddly amusing.

So far, the work day has been good. Hopefully, that trend will continue.

Wes and I hit the gym at lunch. We decided to try max presses first: He’s just shy of 225 lbs. and I couldn’t do anything with 300, but I was good with 250. We’re going to try again in a couple of weeks. With that out of the way, we got on to the rest of the workout:

• Leg Raises: 50 reps
• Bench Press: 3 sets/10 reps, 185 lbs
• Flys (dumbbell, flat bench): 3 sets/10 reps, 30 lbs
• Curls (dumbbell, hammer grip): 3 sets/10 reps, 30 lbs
• Tricep Extension (dumbbell, overhead): 3 sets/10 reps, 40 lbs
• Curls (dumbbell, middle block): 3 sets/10 reps, 15 lbs
• Flys (machine): 3 sets/10 reps – 1 set @ 100 lbs, 2 sets @ 110 lbs

Happy Birthday to MarknTyme:

It’s a little after 7:00 (or it was when I started this), and I’m already at work. We have some work being done around the office and we needed to be sure that someone would be here to let the electricians in. I volunteered. On the plus side, I’ll be done at 3:00 or 4:00, depending on whether Wes and/or Marci and I hit the gym.

Football Update

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers
23 – 38
This game was the battle of two 9-3 NFC South teams, as the Bucs rolled into Charlotte to take on the Panthers before a capacity crowd and the Monday Night Armchair Quarterback Football crowd. The game showcased a lot of defensive talent on both teams, but the game pretty much belonged to the Panthers from the get-go. They didn’t put many balls in the air – Jake DelHomme threw two INTs, although he did throw for 178 yards and one TD – but the running game was stellar: RBs De’Angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, who both ran in two TDs, ran for a combined 301 yards. The Buccaneers looked…unbalanced. They would have a couple of good series, but couldn’t seal the deal when it came down to it. There were also times when veteran QB Jeff Garcia just looked lost in the pocket. Literally. More than once, as the pocket started to collapse, he just looked scared and unsure of what to do. With this win, the Panthers go to 10-3, atop the NFC South. As the commentators said last night, Carolina has its season and playoff picture in its own hands – their next three games are against the Broncos, Giants and the Saints. But, if they continue to play the way they did last night, they could be a serious contender for the playoffs… and maybe, just maybe, even the Super Bowl.

• I’m a fairly unabashed fan of both The Late Show with David Letterman and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Last night, The Late Late Show returned from hiatus; it turns out that Craig Ferguson’s mother passed away last week. Rather than his usual joke-laden opening, he began the show with a very personal monologue, in which he talked about his mother – not so much about her death, but about her life. I’ve heard that his monologue following his father’s death was similarly personal.

Football Update
Last night, the Ravens hosted the Redskins for “The Battle of the Beltway,” as it was called. It was the first time the Redskins have played in Baltimore in close to 30 years (if I heard the stat correctly).

Washington Redskins at Baltimore Ravens
10 – 24
Last night, the Ravens hosted the Redskins for “The Battle of the Beltway,” as it was called. It was the first time the Redskins have played in Baltimore in close to 30 years (if I heard the stat correctly).Joe Flacco had a very slow start… that lasted the entire first half – he was 2/7 for passing in the half. That’s okay, because Ed Reed was on the other side of the ball. He had an amazing shoestring interception catch, less than a minute into the game that the offense was able to turn into a touchdown. Baltimore blanked Washington 14 – 0, going into halftime, thanks to an Ed Reed fumble recovery less than three minutes after his interception. The second half was a mostly defensive battle, with neither side gaining a decisive advantage. A couple of trick plays helpd the Redskins drive deep into Ravens’ territory, but the best that they could come up with was a field goal, early in the fourth quarter. They added another touchdown, after Willis McGahee fumbled the ball a couple minutes later. Joe Flacco and Derrick Mason put the final nail in the coffin, with a Ravens’ touchdown at 3:44. Washington put up a fight and was starting to march down the field… when Ed Reed intercepted another Jason Campbell pass, just after the fourth quarter two-minute warning. With this win, the Ravens go to 9-4, one game behind the Steelers… who they face, in Baltimore, next week. And, they are very much in the race for a wild card spot in the AFC.

After the game – and after hanging out with SaraRules – I finally got around to checking out last week’s comic haul. There were a number of mediocre reads, but among the standouts were:

• Justice Society of America #21 – This issue marked the next-to-last chapter of the Gog storyline. What happens when a seemingly omnipotent being – who claims to be here to help – decides that he will only continue to help if people start to worship him… and they refuse? Well, we get a pretty good look at the answer in this issue.
• X-Men: Noir #1 – This was a/ yet another take on the X-Men. No powers, but in a noir setting. And there is an interesting bit of role-reversal, too. I have heard that they are looking at adding a couple of other titles to this line – and I’m not sure that I’ll read any of the others – but this one was a refreshing change of pace.

It’s snowing; it has been for the past few hours.

Today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day:

This morning, SaraRules and I met Logan and the three of us went up to Park City for brunch at Cisero’s. The weather in Park City wasn’t as cold as I had expected; that was a nice surprise. The food, as always, it was very good. We didn’t stay in Park City very long, as Logan had a study group this afternoon.

• Yesterday, after the ‘Clix tournament, I traded figures with a couple of guys. I got a Black Manta (that’s right, the shark has frickin’ lasers on its head!) and a Despero, both of which are Super-Rare figures. When I left, I was one figure – Batgirl – from completing my set of Arkham Asylum ‘Clix.
• Last night, I found a Batgirl figure on eBay for a really good price. I bought it.

Namaste.

So… I went to the tournament. I discovered that it was “restricted” after I got there, which meant that all of the older figures I had gone to the trouble of locating were unusable for this event. Great. Fortunately, I still had plenty of options from the recent releases to use. I went with:

• Black Canary
• Captain Gordon
• Marvel Girl
• Moon Knight
• Nightshade and
• Spider-Man

I wound up going 0-3, but I got the “Fellowship” prize: Crispus Allen. Besides the Grodd LE, this was one I’d really hoped to get. Mission: Accomplished.

I met up with SaraRules and Logan and we headed off to see Punisher: War Zone.

We knew beforehand that it was going to be bad. We just didn’t know “how” bad.
Holy.
Cow.
This was a horrible movie.
The low end of the “Cool World-Long Kiss Goodnight” Scale bad:

• Cinematography: BAD.
• Direction (such as it was): BAD
• Acting: Three guesses, first two don’t count. (Hint: BAD)
• Dialogue: Laughably BAD

The action scenes were… *consults with SaraRules*… good, but VERY over-the-top in a hyper-realized comic book way.

We wound up MST3K-ing this movie about halfway through it. And that didn’t even help. I think that the only thing that might – and even this may be a stretch – help this movie would be either:

1. Making a drinking game out of the movie
2. Being drunk before seeing the movie

We took a bullet for you guys by seeing this. You should be thanking us. Profusely.

After the movie, SaraRules and I went to Cafe Med for dinner. As usual, the food was delicious. There was a young lady on the far side of the restaurant who apparently found a great many things in her dinner conversation amusing, as she laughed a lot. A whole lot. Loudly. No… “boisterously” would be a much better way of putting it.

All-in-all, it was a good day.

Saturday – 06 December 2008
Last night, SaraRules and I went over to Logan’s to play Left4Dead. Holy crap. Valve has done an excellent job of capturing the feel of putting players in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. It was fun… and rather intense. I also found it amusing that the characters in the game (somewhat) mirrored those of us playing: Two white males, a white female… and a bald black guy. If you like zombies and first-person shooters (and have an XBox 360), this is a game that you’ll want to take a look at.

After zombie killin’, SaraRules and I headed to meet up with the Clitorati gang for coffee… or, in my case, hot chocolate. And then, we headed over to Cheers: North for a bite to eat.

I have a ‘Clix tourney this afternoon: 300 points, no single figure over 50 points.
This should be interesting, to say the least.

Happy Hatching Day to Derek:

Another work week draws to a close; hopefully, the day won’t be too bad.

Last night, I headed over to play ‘Clix with Perry. I asked him how many points he wanted to go with – he opted for 300. We picked our teams and had at it. I went with Ms. Marvel (Skrull) and Susan Richards (Skrull), while he brought Invisible Woman, Human Torch and The Thing. Then it was on…

• Both of my figures had Outwit.
• Since my figures were Skrulls, I got to roll to see if he could hit me before each attack.
• Ms. Marvel has the Indomitable trait – meaning she can act on two successive rounds without taking pushing damage.
• Ms. Marvel’s first movement power, Exfiltrate, allows her to use Stealth, thus she couldn’t be attacked using ranged combat, as long as she was in hindering terrain… which I pretty much made sure that she stayed in.

It was a (fairly) short game.
And a little one-sided.
I told him that the next time we played, I would try to play a more balanced team against him.

SaraRules showed up while Perry and I were playing. After the game, she and I headed to the Festival of Trees, at South Towne Expo Center. TONS of trees. And wreaths. And gingerbread houses. And people. Some of the trees were amazingly well-decorated… but there were also (more than) a few duds. And all proceeds go to benefit Primary Children’s Medical Center. So, it’s a win-win situation. If you’re in the SLC Metro area and looking for something to do – and something that benefits a good cause – go check it out.

Wes and I hit the gym again at lunch. We did a variation of Tuesday’s workout:

• Dips: 3 sets/10 reps
• Bench press: 3 sets/15 reps, 155 lbs
• Curls (dumbell, concentration): 3 sets/10 reps, 30 lbs
• Bent-over Rows: 3 sets/12 reps, 30 lbs
• Lateral raises (with forward rotation): 3 sets/10 reps, 10 lbs
• Reverse Punches: 3 sets/10 reps, 10 lbs
• Tricep Extensions (dumbbell, overhead): 3 sets/10 reps, 30 lbs

Post-workout weight: 180.9 lbs.

Not a bad workout, overall.  The extra reps on bench, even at the lower weight, made my arms quite tired. And, from the way that I was dragging on lateral raises, I can tell I need to do them more often, too.
