Where’ve I been?
I’ve been recovering from oral surgery last Wednesday (wisdom teeth extracted). It went about as well as could be expected and I’m pretty much all better now. (Though I’m coming down with some sort of cold.)
I spent the weekend mostly offline, and actually — gasp! — saw some movies this weekend. (Constantine was okay, though it mostly made me want to read the undiluted comics source material; and The Aviator, which I quite enjoyed, though I found myself wishing it was a biopic about Katharine Hepburn whenever Cate Blanchett was on the screen. She was just that good.)
And I want him to do it! Who’s with me in actually sending in some letters to encourage TPTB at Paramount to make it happen?
This would be so cool….

I’m trying this via google to see if I can access the groups, since I’ve been offline since AOL stopped carrying newsgroups.
I don’t normally do this…in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever done this in any group before, because I’ve always kind of waited to make sure it was worth doing, and that it would make a difference.
I’m sending this to both the B5 folks reading this and any Trek fans looking on.

I hate sporks.
Take two very useful tools, the spoon and the fork, and combine them into some sort of demifunctional bastard child that lacks its parents’ strengths — the spoon’s cup-and-hold action, and the fork’s stab-and-twist. You’ll end up with something that no gourmand in his or her right mind should have to suffer through.
You’ll end up with the spork.
I hate sporks.
That is all.

I like driving around with my two cats, especially on the freeway. I make them wear little hats so that I can use the carpool lane.
See what my boredom’s done to me?? Entertain me. It’s too cold out on the freeway tonight.
(I scaled the pics down to 50% size so they’d display nicer; the thumbnails link to the as-posted versions.)

Condi Rice flew to Belgium earlier this week, and apparently her diplomatic guards got into a shoving match with Belgian officials and reporters.
Around 11:15 am, while the modified Boeing 757 was taxiing on the tarmac and officials were preparing to welcome the Secretary of State, Diplomatic Security Service personnel and Belgian protocol officials were quarrelling about how close reporters could approach the plane.
Here’s the neat thing: The story has screencaps from a Belgian TV station that was covering Rice’s arrival. 
Story: Rice with Belgian fries, please!

I better not take my t-shirt of a bare-breasted Bettie Page the next time I visit my folks in Clovis:
Man Charged for Racey Bumper Stickers
CLOVIS, N.M. - A man has been charged with distribution of sexually oriented materials to minors because of the stickers displayed on his car. The stickers portray cartoon images of bare-breasted female devils in sexually compromising positions. [full story]
Good to know that the fine, upstanding folks in Clovis law enforcement have completely eradicated the drug and booze and gun culture that is was so widespread out there (’cause a lot of the folks are were too bored to do anything else) and are now able to go after those eviiiil cartoon devil-girl titties.
What. Ever.
