Well, Kev’s sis will be in ICU for a few more days, but she seems to be doing well. I’m making up a goodie bag for her now, so Kev can take it to her tomorrow.

Let’s see. A Few Tick Comic Books…Copy of the Dangerous lives of altar boys, and Nightmare of Ecstasy… (Ed wood Bio.) I think that’ll keep her happy for a little while.

No foodie-goodies for her… on an IV, and only allowed shaved ice to suck on. When she gets out, we’ll have to get her a tasty can or three of Hawaiian punch.

Looks like a colostomy bag for a few months, but it’s better than having it for life. I don’t imagine she’s taking it too well… she’s pretty sensitive. I really can’t visit until she’s out of ICU.

In other news… Apartment cleaned, and I have groceries for the week. Brother has asthma pretty bad, so he’s chilling out today.

No dice on the recorder.. and my nearby comic shop is price-gouging for single figures… The other place was $1 yelow, $2 blue, $3 red… PPF had the same stuff for $2 yellow, $3.50 blue, $5 red.

fark that noise… I’ll just have danny pick some up for me at the cheaper zone.

juliabee put me on to a nifty idea, too… making custom ones! I’ve got more army men than I know what to do with…the click bases don’t look too difficult to replicate.

Another fun thing.. I was in Eckerd’s, and back to school sales are going.. protractors, index cards… all sorts of cool school supplies. They still make trapper keepers! I remember waaaay back in the halcyon days of my youth when they were introduced. Before them…. oh, the humanity… a stack of duo-tang folders, a different color for each class, each course written on the cover neatly in black felt tip. If they didn’t have internal pockets, you were hosed, and possibly doomed to lose information.

I couldn’t resist. I bought a Duo-tang folder. Orange. With internal pockets. It cost me $0.23…I think it’ll be my new Recorder music book… 🙂 Now, I just have to pick up that recorder.

Talked to my sweetie… she’s going to work on her newest hobby for a few, so I’m going to go out and mill around some more. I may buy a new recorder while I’m out…and maybe a little pack of heroclix for a few buddies of mine… hee hee hee… got to spread the addiction.

We bugged out of the trek happening, quick like a bunny. It sucked pretty badly… there were a couple of stinkies there, but none really photo worthy, and the dealer room was poopy.

As a consolation prize, we went to a comic shop, and bought the Marvel Heroclix miniature combat game, then went to Dave & busters to play race car & pod racer, have lunch, and suss out the heroclix rules.

Very easy game, and quite a bit of fun. We got 8 random heroes in the box, and I bought a nice one for both me (Wasp) and Danny (Juggernaut), for about a buck apiece.

The ones that came in the box were Spider-man, Cyclops, Ultron, A skrull warrior, A hydra guy, Sabretooth, Bullseye, and the puppet Master.

I’d like to pick up the hulk, dr strange, captain america, scarlet witch (hee… her and wasp remind me of my sweetie), Jean Grey. and Prof X… I’m looking for the fantastic four, too.

They Need DC ones… I want the Doom Patrol, Batman, Green Lantern, Misc JSA and Batgirl to add to my collection, also!

Okie dokie… morning chores are done, with an hour to spare. That gives me time to put camera batteries in the charger, and play with Newtie!

Cool T-shirt seen today – “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”

Capper image will be 700 wide, and no more than 300 tall.

Toybox – shared white board, chat area, bbs?

Don’t play banjo or do engraving at 4am. people will stab you, and stuff you in a plastic storage bin.

back form the day o’ doom!

Phew… I had barely a moment to myself today… Kevin and Dale were both out, so I was putting out fires all day long. I got everything done without having to stay late, however, so it’s good for me. It was nuts… like someone kicked over an ants-nest.. everyone runnning around, nattering and stressing. bah! feh! But it’s all over, now.

thirty-six minutes until hidden video… I hope it’s better than last week’s, all the others batted 1000. 🙂

Heading to work late/early.

Hmm… Kevin’s sister went into the hospital last night, and Dale’s on vacation… Looks like I’m in for a lot of work today. Paul just called me up and asked if I could come in any earlier… I told him that my bus leaves in 15 minutes, and I’ll be in by noon… he offered to come pick me up… I don’t really see what difference that 45 minutes will make, but it’s fine by me.

I hope that Kev’s sis is ok…She had some sort of procedure done last week, and they nicked some area near her colon. She’s stable, but it looks like she’s going to have to have a temp colostomy done… lasting for 2-3 months. I’m guessing that it had some sort of maintenance regarding her hysterectomy.

I’m guessing Paul’ll be here in 15 minutes… and then it’ll take 15 minutes to get back. (That is, unless he gets lost… somehow, I think it’d be funny if I got in *late* due to all these folk’s panic.)

It’s not like we send blood and organs out to needy patients… It’s Ramada, for goodness’ sake! Nobody’s going to die if things take place an hour later down the line.

Silly, easily stressed people.

Yay! I thought I was forgotten! I’m uploading squirrel.. just to see if it affects my download credit.

Also, I discovered pics.am, which is another nifty free image archive, but has many pop ups…(if you have a popup killer [the free one is fine] installed, you’re set. ). This kitty cracks me up, somehow.
