anyone seen the movie "Last Night"? what'd you think of it?

hmm. Tinman scored a mention on the Blogger homepage.

what's the problem with getting comic superhero movies done? especially this one. dammit, i wanna see buff guys in spandex or codpieces this summer.

"we're going to have a big-ass apocalyptic battle, because that's what we do. And there's going to be some death."

i love it when he puts it that way. makes me all tingley inside.

how is it that some people can be so sure that they're right about something, especially when it's so obvious that they're wrong?

Caleb Proulx, a BYU sophomore, said he attended a vegetarian barbecue last year that was broken up by police for being too rowdy.

for some reason, that really makes me laugh. other parts of the article make me shake my head.

note to self: never again have a meatball hero for breakfast.

i hate when this thing double posts.

so.... what did everyone think of last night's Holographic Rights Voyager episode? yeah, i thought so too.

i thought that oversleeping and coming to work two hours late would put me way behind for the day. turns out, i'm way ahead. i still have to stay late to make up the time i missed, but the boss has already left for the day, and soon everyone else will be gone too. then i'll be alone in the scary office. i hate that. there are too many freaky people in the building.

"You know, Michael from Roswell and Xander from Buffy really should get together and start a club for WB guys who are WAY past due for a haircut...At their first meeting they could have Lindsey from Angel lecture on the virtues of finally breaking down and getting a non-skanky haircut. Then they could all go out for haircuts and pie."

no, dear, you crack me up too.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddy Prinze Jr are now engaged. i don't suppose there's a chance that it's actually Freddy and the Buffybot, is there?

ha! i just downloaded some cool skins for The Sims. i now have Nightcrawler, Rogue and Mystique from "X-Men," and from Buffy i have Buffy, Willow, Angel, and Spike!

there must be something Simish in the air, because i too stayed up late last night playing The Sims. i passed up my usual assortment of World Conquest/Galactic Domination games (megalomania? me? nah!) for the thrills of micromanagement of a houseful of people all named for and based on my friends.

maybe i shouldn't tell anyone about that.

these things are gonna be so cool. i'm quite certain i'll be the first on my block to have any of these. the cards. not the diseases. it'll be fun to be standing out on the street corner with my friends, trading cards and shouting things like "Cool! i've got syphilis!" to which a friend replies "Yeah? Well, I've had tuberculosis and hantavirus for weeks, but Billy just gave me hepatitis B and C! Nyah!"

anyone wishing to contact me today, take me to dinner, introduce me to your cousin Pablo, show me the world, swear an oath of fealty to me, or grovel before me would do well to remember that i will be completely unavailable between 6pm and 8pm tonight (Central Daylight Time, of course). i will be re-watching "The Body", followed by the broadcast of "Forever." it's Buffy's mom's funeral, and i'm sure i'll end up being all weepy. anyone doubting my sincerity at remaining undisturbed will have to deal with the viscious attack kitty stationed outside my door. (yeah, she may not be able to do anything to you if you call, but she does know other ninja-cat assassins in other states. you are warned.)

if you are able to time your call/visit with a commercial break, i may make exceptions for the Pablo and Oath of Fealty things.

on this day in 1962, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Robinson v. California, which led to the ruling that, although the possession, sale or purchase of narcotics may be made illegal, the actual addiction to a narcotic cannot be.

today's moral is: it's ok to be a crackhead, as long as you're not caught with it.

let's see... visits from the EPA, Dept of Energy, and Dept of the Interior. they're all connected somehow, and if i wasn't so tired right now, i'd form some sort of Conspiracy Theory about why those three are keeping tabs on me, and it'd probably involve the Girl Scouts. it's been a long while since i've accused them of any evil-doing.

on a less paranoid note, as of 9:29am this morning, the last of the great tolkhans has been visited 2500 times since december 21 last. i couldn't have done it without the unwitting and disappointed help of the "sexy saudi girls" and "Xena and Gabriel naked" searches.

a humble and heartfelt thanks to all those who keep returning to read my insipidity. if i achieve my goal of becoming a billionaire philanthropist, i'll take each of you out for a snowcone.

"Most places with the highest arsenic levels are in the West, among them... Norman, Okla., home of the University of Oklahoma."

i knew i should have gone to Oklahoma State.

Jean has been busy redesigning, and also shifting the style of her blog. i'm envious of her eye for color.
