holy shit balls its out...at least for me. about 93 F right now (for the outside US folks who find it easier to use a measure based on 10 instead of the funky ones we use, about 307 Kelvin or 34 C). did I ever mention that I really hate the heat? you see, when its cold out....YOU CAN ADD LAYERS. when its this hot...

damn, vacation might be postponed. the debate right now is whether or not my mom and step-father should drive down to NC with my younger sister (8 to 10 hour drive) or wait and have her fly back home. the problem is, having started treatment for a bladder infection yesterday, one wonders if its a good thing for him to drive or not (especially to...

woken up, younger sister tells me they need my help. my step-father was shaking and labored breathing. call ambulance (my view....if there is breathing problems, you go by ambulance period).

after some talking....thinking he has a UTI that went into his kidneys.

and just think.....my mom and younger sister got back from NC (where my sister lives) Sunday night. and today is his first day...

very interesting night...at least after work. there is a girl, I shall refer to her as "Her" for this blog (for anonymity sake). she used to stop by and we could talk for a half hour or longer. now she stops by sporadically (at least when compared to when I work).

tonight was one of those nights......I got out of work around midnight and ended...

more geeking out here...

the final tournament for a massive Thanos figure that is going to be highly sought after is a 1000 point build (as it currently stands). some people are thinking of running a 450 pt. Adam Warlock (prize) with a Gauntlet and 2 other characters. I'm thinking of ways to counter this character (high speed, hard to hit with his ability to...

so "geeked out" last night...400 pt. build, sealed box Heroclix tournament. you show up, buy 2 boxes (10 clix) and build your team. its hard in some ways, since you don't know what you're getting (someone who pulls a Thanos has a better chance then someone who only pulls a Mole Man). the interesting part is figuring out how to get everyone to work together....

okay, this might seem as some common sense, but after today....

if you're going to steal from a store, don't walk up and have a conversation with the cashier shortly before robbing a store. we tend to remember what you look like. and have the car ready to go NOT in view of the windows.....or else we get a good description of your vehicle as...

finished re-reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" yesterday, time to continue Neil Gaimen's "American Gods". and continuing on Neil Peart's book "Ghost Rider". in chapter 2, he talks about failing his motorcycle license test twice, in part due to his lack of coordination. so a man who has been a major influence in drumming for 20+ years and considered by many as the best...

so I've set aside "Watchmen and Philosophy" and started reading Neil Peart's book "Ghost Rider - Travels on the Healing Road". so far, through chapter 1 and interested quite a bit.

it could be a very interesting read....it starts with him leaving his house in Canada for a motorcycle trip....no time frame, no destination. his way of dealing with (in one year) his daughter dying...
