so Free Comic Book Day today. I got 3 free things (Buffy, DC New 52 and the Thor Heroclix). last year I spent the $15 for the "bundle" deal (everything in a bag). my cousin does this deal for people who want everything, its paying cost. after I did that, kept what I wanted (a handful) and ended up "selling" it back (credit to the...

as some may know, my cousin owns a comic book store. as a "vendor" he sometimes gets vendor passes to events like Comic-Con in the area. normally he has some regulars he gives the passes to, and the regulars get stuff signed for him (he has a nice collection of Michael Turner stuff from this).

this year, the guys returned with stuff signed by Stan...

so after a week of not sleeping really good (sleep 4 to 6 hours, wake up for a few hours, back to sleep for a few hours), went to bed around 5:30 AM last night/this morning....and slept until around 5:00 PM.

wow it makes a difference!

in the middle of reading "Somebody, Somewhere" by Donna Williams (her follow-up book to "Nobody, Nowhere"). the book is her life story and she deals with her autism. quite enlightening and interesting, if this is a subject of interest to you, since she provides an understanding not only for her behaviors but what she is thinking and experiencing. one of my old managers read "Nobody,...

so who's dumber...the kid who's license is 2 years expired and left his temporary license at home in New York City or the international student using a passport that expired last year to buy beer?

let the voting begin.

so my job today wanted me to come in around 8 PM after working an overnight shift (getting out around 7:30 AM or so). decided not to even return the call.

1st...Wednesday is the ONLY day off I have this week, period.

2nd....I would have to work with the full-time overnight cashier. he's the guy I trained but does very little. well, he does enjoy...

hmm....no love for Tyrian?

so got a notice from my bank (the items paid on insufficient funds form). given what happened, I was curious. look at the form....."Insufficient Funds Fee(s)............

works for me!

one of my favorite clips now....does Tyrian (the dwarf) jump up a little for the first slap?

time to make a quick road trip.....on Friday got some food at a small pizza shop next to my cousin's comic book store (husband and wife run the place). the order comes to $21.03, I only have a $20, so I put it on my debit card (as credit).

Monday, check my account status....yeah, slight mishap in the transaction. I didn't see anything, but somehow...

never good things to hear at work...

"Well, since you are mechanically inclined, could you put together...."

damn it, gotta hide talents better at work. in a 4 hour shift, (left 20 minutes early) I ended up hanging some folder holders in the Front End Office (hey, got to use my laser level) and replaced a toilet paper holder in a bathroom. plus swept.

oh...

why working overnights is interesting....

1. co-worker covering a late night shift. older lady (maybe my age), black, really into R&B. when I work overnights, I play music on my mp3 player. I have a Neil Peart drum solo going, she starting getting into it. she says how she likes the beat and everything. show her another drum solo I have on my mp3 player...

well, last night, after about 2 to 2 1/2 hours of fighting and such, replaced the bathroom faucet in our house. I was looking at a Moen....but it was out of stock, so went with a Delta of similar price.

woke up this morning, checked and nothing is leaking. now I need to get a basket or something for some of the crap that is...
