Thursday : 27 October 05
I guess that in the grand scheme of things, today was a good day.

That doesn’t mean that it didn’t have its rough spots. It did. Right in the middle of the work day. *decompress* I don’t mind answering questions on the job; it comes with the territory. What I do mind is when someone asks the same question, repeatedly (over the course of several days)… and I answer it the same way every time. At that point, take 50¢ and go buy a clue: If or when something changes, I’ll tell you. Until then, don’t keep harping on the subject. *GAH* I was vindicated when he asked someone else the question… and they snapped back at him.

The post-work evening was good. I headed to Jo-Ann Fabric to look for a pattern for my costume’s pants. I found two. Not sure which one I’ll go with. *shrug* I made a couple of other quick shopping stops and then it was off to pick up and and find food. Olive Garden fit the bill tonight. It was a good way to (mostly) unwind from the day.

Stray Toasters

  • My father called me this afternoon. That in and of itself isn’t too unusual. He was calling to see if I needed a photo printer. *blink blink* “Need,” no. But, I wasn’t foolish enough to turn it down.
  • Stephen King… writing for… Marvel Comics?
  • Life Model Decoy. “LMD,” for short.
  • Cool World was a horrible movie – which is why it’s the bottom end of the “Cool World – Long Kiss Goodnight Scale” – but it had a pretty decent soundtrack.
  • Just in time for Hallowe’en: Necronomicon as papercraft
  • Okay, : You’ve mastered the bleeding Jell-O® hearts. Let’s see if you can pull of The Phantom Manor.
  • I’m not aware of too many things
    I know what I know, if you know what I mean…

  • Target (yes, that one) will be selling Home Video Arcade Machines, starting in November. I only have one thing to say about this: Joust! (I won’t even go into the fact that “jousting” is for rings; when two combatants go at it, it’s called “tilting.”)
  • I know that it’s a little… odd… for jousting to be a state sport. *shrug* You get used to it. What I did not know was that Maryland has a state drink: Milk. You can find other Maryland state symbols here.
  • I have cotton candy. That put a (much-needed) smile on my face.

And that’s all for now.

Namaste.
