Saturday
It’s been a pretty decent day. It was nominally warm, too. Warm enough (more or less) for me to wear a short-sleeved shirt. And be fairly comfortable in it.

I watched Teen Titans tonight, but not JLU. I hadn’t seen the episode of ‘Titans before, but I had seen the Justice League episode. So… I played more X-Men: Legends, instead. After all, why just watch superheroes when you can be a superhero. (I’m sure that understands what I mean by this.)

Bowling was… not too bad. Even though I bowled alone.
147 – 157 – 135 – 181 – 112 – 160 – 113 – 129 – 166 – 176 – 173
I alternated lanes tonight, starting on the right-hand lane (which is usually my “best” lane); I bowled six games on it and five games on the left-hand lane. Overall, I bowled better and more consistently on the left lane. I’ll have to see if this pattern holds true.

We were entertained by a cavalcade of “Fashion Don’ts” at breakfast. It was a veritable bevy of bellies. Our entire table was of a consensus that some people can effectively wear low-rise pants and midriff-exposing shirts. Some. Not all. And not most of the ones whom we saw tonight.

But, it takes all kinds to make the world go ’round.

Stray Toasters

  • I’ve only been playing X-Men: Legends for a couple days, but I am really having a ball with it. They lined up a lot of good – and in some cases, “unexpected” – talent for the voice actors, including:
    • Patrick Stewart, once again reprising his role as Professor X.
    • Cree Summer, formerly of A Different World and multiple animated projects, as Magma.
    • Ed Asner
    • Steven Blum as Wolverine; he who also did the voice of Spike Spiegel on Cowboy Bebop, Roger Smith on The Big O and provides the voice of Tom on Cartoon Network’s Toonami
    • Dorian Harewood, whom I hadn’t heard about in years.
    • Danica McKellar, from The Wonder Years and Static Shock, and
    • Lou Diamond Phillips (Young Guns, La Bamba, Courage Under Fire)
  • : I think that you’ll appreciate this thread from Slashdot: Fun Tabletop Games
  • : The proto-house looks nice. The shot that you took of the Don and Thomas walking down the steps was cute. Thomas is getting BIG! I’m going to have to get home soon so that I can see him before he gets too big to roughhouse. 🙂
  • For : Lot’s of Catwoman
  • “In brightest day
    In blackest night…”

  • Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed…
  • Found by :

  • I like 99 Luftballons and its English counterpart, 99 Red Balloons. I found this side-by-side comparison of the two versions. After reading this, I was struck with the thought that I think I prefer the German lyrics – or their English translation – to the version that innundated the American airwaves.

I’m reasonably sure that there was more that I wanted to add, but it will have to keep until tomorrow. I’m tired. I’m going to bed.

Or, in the immortal words of Eric Cartman:

“Screw you guys, I’m going home.”

Namaste.
