Wednesday
Another day in the Land Behind the Zion Curtain. And it wasn’t bad. There were a couple of slow spots, but on the whole, was fairly painless. (…and brings on many changes. And I can take or leave it, as I please.)

It was a quiet night on the homefront. I watched The West Wing and Law & Order; both shows were good. And there was pizza for dinner.

Stray Toasters

  • Why, yes, I did get this at IKEA… Thanks to for passing this along.
  • Driver’s License…. Porn. Driver’s License…. Porn. Hmm. Another wave of the cane and tip of the hat to for this one, too.
  • Do you need a swift kick in the motivation department? (And let’s face it: Who doesn’t need one at some point or another?) See what others have done by the time they were your age. Check it out here.
  • Thanks to for the link to “A Modest Destiny.” In the course of a few hours, I have read the entire run of the strip… and I’m waiting for the updates.

    Hecter: Being evil is not all glamour. Sometimes it means guarding the alley that smells like pee.
    Gilbert: They didn’t put that part in the brochures.
    Hecter: They never do…

  • New British Science Center Opens… for Adults Only
  • Will The Scarecrow make an appearance in the new Batman movie? Possibly so.
  • Samuel L. Jackson may gearing up to portray S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury in an upcoming movie. No, not the old Marvel Universe Nick Fury (as campily played by David Hasselhoff), the Marvel Ultimate Universe Nick Fury. The one that they made look almost just like Mr. Jackson. Younger and more modern, but just as much of a hard-ass as the classic Fury.

There’s a tall, cold glass of milk calling my name. And, I’m powerless to resist the call.

Namaste.
