Tuesday – 13 March 2007
Two down, three to go.

The day started in the SLC office.  I needed to pick up some items to take to the southern outpost.  Unfortunately, those items weren’t there.  I waited a little bit, to see if they would show up.  They didn’t.  So… I left.  The rest of the workday was decent.  Even “good.”  The lunchtime workout was good, too.  I went back to an old routine: Back and triceps.  It was a very nice change of pace; and I could definitely feel it when I was done.  That’s a good thing.  Back to the ranch to finish out the day.

I remembered to call this afternoon.  I’ve been meaning to do it for about five days now, but something has always wound up rearing its ugly head.  I went for an afternoon constitutional – the weather was sunny, clear and low 70s – and called her.  We talked for about :20 minutes.  She sounds like she’s in good spirits, despite having been cooped up for the past 5½ weeks.  We talked about this, that and the other.  Bouquets and brickbats.  The whole nine yards.  By the way: , she said that she just finished the last of the books that you sent her.  It was good to talk with her.
Stray Toasters

  • Friday, I get the tickets for my trip home in May.  There are even good rates into Greensboro!  *shocked*
  • Zaz!
  • I need to pick up a copy of Casino Royale.
  • I can’t find my tape (yes, “tape”) of Hat, a band that some friends of mine were in.  That’s a shame, because I’m really in a mood to listen to Palm Sunday Downpour and She Builds Monsoons.
  • Be yourself, that’s fine
    Find yourself, there’s time
    Lose yourself, well I’m right here beside you
  • Is this the new Captain America?
  • Bananas.
  • 200+ MPG car
  • “I don’t get it.  The label says this is an ‘easy open’ can.”
  • The new Ninja Turtles movie opens in a week and a half.  I’m… not sure, but I think I want to see it.
  • “S.S. Botany Bay…  S.S. Botany Bay…  Damn!   Damn!  We have to get out of here!”
  • The Big Fig – Marvel Legends’ Build-A-Figures prove that bigger is always better.   Sentinel.  *nod*  Although, I wouldn’t have minded getting my hands on an Apocalypse or Galactus figure, either.

Quote of the Day
While gaming tonight, we were talking about Star Trek: TOS.  Somewhere in the conversation, we wound up mixing Star Trek with, of all possible things, Pulp Fiction.  Shortly thereafter, derived from the “What does Marcellus Wallace look like?” interrogation (NSFW), I came up with the following:

“Does Mr. Spock look like a bitch?”

…which became the running joke of the night.  And it only went downhill from there.  But it made us laugh.
Namaste.
