Witness my complete failure to update in a regular fashion. Wow - a month? D-, self.

I'll just bring the random, then.

- brownbetty has a great post here about the latest on the Jena Six. It should be read and spread far and wide.

- Loved Blink so much. Creepy and twisty and clever. Joining the Moffat fangirling now.

- Happy to see BBC-AM isn't gutting the Gay out of Torchwood. Still love my cheesy, cracky, pterodactyl in the office show.

- I have my first new pair of Converse in a decade. They have flames. Shoes met with a mixture of headshaking and snickering. All ya all can bite me. Chucks are classic! And it's not like you weren't well aware of my inability to dress myself. I've been wearing nothing but 501s since God invented the button-fly.

- My dog seems to have developed an interest in the new lady dog in the neighborhood. She's a pretty, young rottweiler. He's... a chihuahua. I don't see it working out the way he hopes.

- Rewatching my old World Series dvd, and the '68 chapter still gets me teary. I want it to be required viewing for all the newer Tigers' fans. See? This is how we do it - pull something fantastic outta nowhere when you've abandoned all hope. No, we're not going to the WS this October - Detroit only does that every two decades. Our ballclub is 106 years old and this is how we roll. Kick back, enjoy the *whole* season, and wait for 2026.

And be happy we're not still sporting the circa 1980 Away uniforms.

- Stevie Wonder has a new album in the works, hopefully released on his Mother's birthday in January, including covers of some of her favorites. What could be better than that?

He's always been able to hit my tiny bulletproof Romantic target dead on.

So I'll leave you with 'Uptight' mixed with the Clash.

LJ - Please quit it with the weird errors & page-borking. I'm trying to get caught up with posts here.

The flist certainly ate Wheaties for breakfast. Back -> Back -> Back -> Back ->
And then more Back ->.

I myself am having wasabe & soy sauce almonds for breakfast. Beyond great. And they go well with coffee - but then, what doesn't?

Got my Strider from Sideshow - Time for another action figure migration. Always hard to decide who goes together on what shelf. Right now, I'm thinking between Connor MacLeod & Nightmares Buffy. Or possibly on the Johnny Cash - Kingdom Come - Fox Mulder shelf.

Dog holding a world-class grudge over the vet trip yesterday. So much attitude in such a tiny body. Apparently, I suck even more than the cat today. Must have been the temperature-taking.

I am unreasonably pleased with my new shop vac. Got rid of all the dust & cobwebs in the Florida porch like a champ. Of course, I'm dealing with Olympic-level web spinning spiders here, so they'll be back in a few days - still so much better than the broom.

Why don't they call 'em Florida rooms in Florida? Is it something we made up in the frozen north?

Last night's game? Ignoring it. Poor Nate.

Watching the developments with the pet food recalls on Itchmo with interest. Seems to be a fundamental potential for disaster with the FDA's handling of imported ingredients. While the deaths of companion animals may not strike the same chord with everyone, the fact that the tainted additives were allowed to enter the human food supply might. I haven't seen a definitive statement that this has been contained.

Have to go get a hard drive - my backup is failing. Like the arrayed HDs thing - lost a bunch of stuff when the last computer died. Hoping it's not much more complicated to install than a M/s config. Guess I'll be finding out.

Time for getting something accomplished - Hope LJ gets it together in the meantime.


eta Kenny Rogers is back? - MackAve blog

- It's unusually cold in Florida, and that's bringing the lols to a northern-born person like me. It's a little frost on the windshield, not three feet of snow. And an excuse to wear my Tigers sweatshirt.

- Spring training! Lakeland isn't much of a drive, and I am plotting a roadtrip with a made-of-fun friend. We just have to get time off from our mutual place of employment, and fill her Wrangler with gas.

- I've seen three bald eagles in the past week, but the old blue heron hasn't been around. New ladyfriend Y/N?

- Having a friend who's a massage therapist? Who also makes you dinner after saying 'Come by, and I'll see what I can do about your back'? Pretty much the best thing ever.

- My 2 year old pda seems to be throwing in the towel. It needs to hang tough until I get my tax refund. You can do it, little Axim!

- The 'Lost' dvds I got for Christmas are crack - watching the show in real time is a bit torturous. Also important - Desmond is hotsauce!

- Got Doctor Who dvds for Valentine's Day - ILU NINE ♥!

- Work is trying to be a soul-crusher today. It's an avalanche of badly timed oversights and events. Completely borked. Monday - Not afraid to *be* the stereotype.

- My dog looks cute in his sweater. Pissed as all hell, but v. v. cute.
