Well, heard from my friend, who apparently was suffering from a severe case of food poisoning when he was awol from dinner. This time, chumley, this time. Illness was the one reason I'd suggest. Well, that or freaky sex. But I'm hoping he would tell me he was sick in either case.

Missed game last night, but I compensated by getting a calzone and playing Rock Band while Cynra was out having dinner with a friend of hers. I actually failed a song last night at the end of some three piece bit in Boston, as my fingers grew increasingly colour blind. This was at the end of the game, so my arm was tired enough that I took the loss and didn't bother to try to replay it.

mr_weasel and I are taking the spouses to another Winterlicious event tomorrow. Of course, we've got a gap in scheduling since we were planning on going to dinner after visiting the refurbished AGO and now our reservation got moved back.

A friend is trying to arrange something for BSG's finale, and I'm trying to give any assistance I can. I also got a call from a dealer regarding FanExpo this summer, and I've gotta give him a call back.

Supercar is still imobile in the street. I tried the glow plug cycling that atomiks suggested and it, well, did not work. Hopefully with tomorrow's warm weather I can start it up enough to get it onto the driveway, or get it to the dealership. AGAIN. Feh.

• 15:19 Today has not been that awsome. No, not at all. Dinner tonight should be good. #
• 17:05 I think I need to lay off the Simpsons jokes. They just don't work. #
• 19:48 @monsura I'm cheering for Dr. And Mrs. Wayne. #
• 09:22 Today is turning into a fuckzilla of a day. #
• 12:32 You know what makes any job awesome? Run rations. Except filmmaking, because then the actors become even more petulant. #

Hands up if you've seen that face on occasion. It hurts.

"Stick with your wife."

Holidays are well planned this year, somewhat. I've got a few rollowers from last year that I got because my Christmas vacation got turned into a bereavement period, and I've got march break off (Hey, Ottawans! I'm coming for YOU!). I've got the two days prior to FanExpo off, and I've taken the Monday afterwards, too, so I can just relax. Maybe we'll stay for dinner after show and stay at the hotel an extra night.

I'm still trying to arange for the other few days of the year, and hoping I'll get holidays (Thanksgiving and Victoria day and Canada Day and all the other great holidays they don't celebrate in the Holy Republic).

I may just apply to get the Friday of Toronto Trek off. And maybe the Monday.

Sometimes I will go get a burrito after going to a comic shop if Cynra is busy on a wednesday night. Otherwise, very rarely.

I would pick the day I watched a double bill of Groundhog Day and that Tom Cruise lawyer film.

Just for fun.

Torontoist.com has dug into the archives and found a treat for you.

At daybreak on the morning of August 10, 1930, His Majesty's Airship R-100—the British airship that had arrived in Montreal from England on August 1—made a surprise visit over Toronto. She hadn't been expected until 9 a.m., but just before dawn the faint droning of motors announced her presence over the harbour. Milkmen stopped their carts mid-route, diners and staff emptied from restaurants, and night-watchmen all gazed skyward to marvel at the ghostly sight of the airship against the moonlit sky. Ship whistles greeted the airship and woke its passengers. Across the city, people in pyjamas rushed outdoors to witness the history-making event.

rfmcdpei posted this a couple days ago, but I haven't had a chance to check out the article yet until now.

Oh, yeah. And that motherfucker heraclitus fucked up the ending of Half Blood Prince for me.

He will burn.
