Got a Call Sunday Morning from Atlantic Shores Hospital, but no message. I tried to call back, and they wouldn’t give me any information. I suspect it was my brother getting into a program, but I don’t know why no message was left…and my bro probably wouldn’t call the work cell phone. I had a moment of panic.. I didn’t know the hospital, and since it was on the cell, I thought maybe Mel or Danny had been hurt somehow. Once they explained it wasn’t an emergency room, I calmed considerably.
I spent almost all of Sunday in the apartment… only left to take out the trash. I should make a point of more travels over the weekend. Playtime with the Newtster was a lot of fun, though. I spent far too much time surfing the net, too. I’d hoped to get with Dan today, but it wasn’t in the cards. I’ll see him after work today, though.

I wonder how long before the Paris Hilton news breaks national networks? (warning, some of the tiny cam pics are not safe for work) A clever little doo-bee passed the news to me yesterday morning, via
Downloading last weekend’s JLU. If Netflix and bittorrent keep up, I may not need cable at all pretty soon.
Watching my downloaded episodes of Angry Beavers makes me miss Ornj and the days when my bro was a bit healthier.

Thanks to Beaucoup Kev for breaking the news to me that Essential Defenders is coming out! That, Iron Fist and Luke Cage… Now we’re talking!
Danny’s “fun-teach week” this year will be “Graphic Novels”. Focusing specifically on page layout and art styles. I’m hooking him up with some sample goods… Madman, Hellboy, Sandman, Justice League (Giffen’s stuff), Romita’s Hulk, and Green Lantern: Mosaic. That, along with Danny’s manga and other misc should give an entertaining variety for them to look at.
From: Pulp and Adventure Heroes
“Six-Gun Gorilla. Perhaps my favorite entry in this site, the Six-Gun Gorilla appeared in Adventure and Wizard in 1926 (I think). I do not know who created him. O’Neil was an actual gorilla, who had been trapped as a baby, brought to the States, and sold to Johnson, a Colorado prospector. Johnson, a kind man, treated O’Neil very well. He also taught O’Neil how to dig, fetch firewood, haul up buckets of water, cook, clean, and (oh dear) load and fire a revolver. Naturally, when Johnson is murdered for what he knows about “the great mother lode,” O’Neil ooks revenge. He straps on a bandoleer and two six-shooters and begins tracking the thieves across a hundred miles of Colorado mountains and badlands. He picks them off one by one, meanwhile discovering a talent for holding up stagecoaches and using them to chase fleeing gunmen. It’s all great fun, really.”
If I ever had to kill someone, even in self defense, I’d want to see the body committed to flame until it was ashed. I like a sense of completeness.
That said, I hope I never have to even wound anyone, let alone put the lights out for good.
Moment of Lyric:
pray for a man in the middle
one that talks like Doolittle
I believe
in Mr. Grieves
