Monday : 29 August 05

Going to bed late and getting up early? Not the best combination, but I manage. On the whole, it was a rather good day. The boost of frozen mocha goodness didn’t hurt, either. Neither did lunch with ; we went to Asian Star. I hadn’t been there in many moons.

came over this evening and we watched the St. Louis Rams take it to the house on the Detroit Lions. In the Lions’ house, at that. As my grandmother would have said: “That’s just a sin and a shame.” We watched a bit of a Chris Rock stand-up after that.

The High-Flying Adventures of Indigo Bolt     
Akrael – the Killer of Skulls and I meted out justice to some rather deserving recipients on one of his missions. I accrued, and subsequently worked off, a small bit of experience debt. And, may I add: Aberrants are not fun to fight. But, taking them down brings a good number of experience points. Now, I’m only 3500 points away from Security Level 15. Can’t argue with that!

Stray Toasters

  • I can’t stop eating these pistachios. Hopefully, it won’t turn out like the time I couldn’t stop eating sunflower seeds.
  • Why do I like Monday Night Football? Well, other than the obvious – and the fact that John Madden is there, at least for this year – I like it because they occasionally throw out some interesting stats:
    • Lowest winning percentage over the past four seasons: The Cleveland Browns.
    • Currently playing football teams who have never been to the Super Bowl: The Cleveland Browns (36 years)

    This makes me smile.

  • I had forgotten that Samuel L. Jackson was in Coming to America.
  • Duck Hunt + Doom = Duck Doom
  • By way of Nox: Alien Loves Predator
  • Fast food establishments should be just that: “Fast.”
  • Chun Li, she was my character of choice when playing Street Fighter. I used to refer to her as “Thunder Kick Barbie.”
  • From Mirrormask, the Sphinx Cat:
  • Presto just came down here, in search of some attention/affection. She and Lightning have gotten big. They are both larger than Sissy. Lightning, because of his thick fur, looks almost twice as big as the girls.
  • Ross’ Superman and Aquaman find new work
  • : You might want to click here for information about the upcoming Birds of Prey storyline that focuses on a certain Ms. Barbara Gordon.

Namaste.
