Thursday
I worked a 12-hour day today. All right… it was technically an 11-hour day, with a one-hour lunch, but you get the gist. The day moved along rather quickly. No, my mental faculties and I haven’t filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” This was a calculated move: I intend to leave early tomorrow and get an early start on the long weekend. Nevertheless, it was a 12-hour day at work. (Actually, a little more than that, but not worth quibbling over). Crazy. That’s right. Crazy like a fox.

Tomorrow, and Cain are coming down for the weekend. (We’re going to have real, live, honest-to-goodness houseguests, for the first time since stayed over!) I’m not sure what manner of mayhem will ensue, but Clitorati 2.0 is a go and we’re trying to suss out how to squeeze in a bowling challenge. *nod*

After work, we watched a rerun of CSI over dinner and did some straightening up . I have a couple of things to finish up tomorrow, but nothing major. Around 11:15, I decided to go for a late-night drive. I haven’t gone for one in a while. Part of the excursion took me up Capitol Hill and down State Street. It was nice to drive through that part of Salt Lake City and not have to deal with the pimped-out car-driving street rats. However, I could have done without the (re-)construction on Redwood Road in West Jordan.

Stray Toasters

  • I finally got around to reading DC Comics’ The OMAC Project #1 tonight. Wow. At one time, I thought that the “Tower of Babel” storyline in JLA put Batman through the wringer. Then I read Identity Crisis and a few titles after that. Now, I read this… and I’m waiting for the fallout. How do you break The Bat without bringing Bane into the picture? It looks like DC has figured out the secret.
