Tired, eh?

Feeling very worn down today. Have been for a while. Hopefully when we hit spring (in the practical sense instead of the technical sense) it'll pick me up.

Got a call from Gearhead yesterday, so I assume the bike is ready for pickup.

Contemplating picking up a cheap laptop w/ an external drive. Anyone got a good source they'd recommend?

Tonight is Cynra's last(?) bellydance class of the current session. She's planning on signing up for another one, or possibly two.

Game night tomorrow. Not looking forward to it as two characters have come to blows and I want to just slap the players for it, one for taking a dumb action and the other for reacting to it in a way that seems pointless. I just really don't like inter-party conflict. I may end up backstabbing both of them.

Writer's Block: Heavenly Bodies

Alderaan, because that just seems like a lucky name for a planet.

GIR!

You know what I need? A Darth Vader Icon from when he's doing his "as you wish" bow to the Emperor ("What the Emperor didn't know was that whenever Vader told him 'as you wish', what he was really saying was 'I love you.'") with the caption "My Bad".

A Poem For My Wife.

My darling.
Ten years we've been together
(nine as husband and wife).
Marriage is never easy.
Two people
squeezed into one space
causes friction
but friction smoothes things out
if it doesn't set them on fire.
Each of us has dealt with the other
changing, growing, moving together
and separately.
Our love moves and grows like an oak,
from a tiny acorn and now
strong and steadfast against the sky.
But I still won't go see Dragonball.

They know when they've gone viral

Earlier today, Gian Ghomeshi, AKA The Persian Guy from Moxy Fruvous, hosted Billy-Bob Thornton AKA The Former Mr. Angelina Jolie on Q, his daily Arts & Culture radio show on the CBC. Billy Bob... Billy Bob had emotional issues.

Apparently he's disavowed any knowledge of having been an actor (Most folks call it being a pompous ass, I reckon) and took umbrage wiht being mentioned as such.

The blowup (as it were) has gone a bit viral, even finding its way to the HQ of class, TMZ.com.

Well, I hopped over to Q-TV to check it out (see the video above) and as I started recharging my iPhone, I noticed that the Q Podcast was downloading. Now, I don't know what the normal turnaround time is for the Q Podcast, but it appears this is strictly BBT's blowup.

So, yeah, the CBC appears to be keeping on top of this. Good for 'em, I figure.

Wax on, Wax Off

I don't recall where I saw this previously, but the Wax Cylinder Preservation Society looks pretty neat, if only to listen to century old comedy routines.
