…but I sure as Hell had enough of them to put out today.

Wednesday
The week seems to be flying along. Not that I’m complaining.

Going back to my opening statement: I didn’t have tons of problems to deal with today. But I did have a few things stack up one behind the other. And, with one exception – which I will pick up again first thing tomorning – I got them all taken care of. I even had one of the more senior guys on my team commend me on the way that I’ve been handling things.

This morning, I called home (well, one of them) to tell my father that it snowed again… at least in/on the mountains. He laughed.

The rest of the day went well and ended with pizza and Law & Order.

    Repeat after me: “This is a trainwreck in progress.”

    Not wanting to suffer alone, I shared the community’s URL with some people on IRC. , who happened to be in the channel at the time, retorted with a link to another community: . She wins.

  • While looking for something to watch earlier, I stumbled across The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians on Boomerang. The episode was “The Fear”, featuring Batman, Robin and Wonder Woman squaring off against The Scarecrow. Sure, the animation is nearly 20 years old, but the overall episode wasn’t poorly done.
  • To my great relief, Constantine didn’t contain the line, “Whoa… I know magic.” But, when I saw this picture, I had to laugh.
  • These icons amused me.
