Going out to dindin with the bro… sushi, I think.
Good, long productive day.
Ok, revised launch times again. Gives me ten more minutes of rest.

An International Catalogue of Superheroes: The purpose of this site is to build up a database of information about various superhero characters from around the world. For decades American comics, and especially those from two prolific publishing houses, have dominated if not the market, then certainly the public’s perception of it. There are few people in the world that would not recognize Superman, Batman, Spider-Man or the X-Men, and there are hundreds of websites devoted to those characters. That is not the focus of this site.
Woo! From the Vampire game “You are sire to 16 other vampires, including: LdySaphyre (6072 pints), Liliana (2285 pints), MissV (1794 pints), mixedresults (1246 pints), gilbella (1043 pints), Sierina (180 pints), Soul Harvester (25 pints), Morgoth (18 pints), bloodytears666 (17 pints), renwick (6 pints)” I wish it gave me an option to view full lineage.
Only 5 more months until my birfday!
Got my packages into the mail, so goodies (and forwarded goodies) should be winging the way to points north as I type this.
Getting together with the Bro tomorrow for an early supper at Tokyo bowl…I figure we can get out convo caught up there over some California rolls and miso, or bean burritos and rice. I want to spend as much time with him as possible before he heads off.
Ol’ Network gave us some trouble today, right as I was setting up an email account.. I thought first that the pc was down, then the server.. it turned out internet was broken across the board. A mild setback and we were up and running in under an hour.
I had a nice email convo, and got to call Kev on the phone to ask for him to donate some hardware, software and license stuff to ACIM, and also make a tentative appointment for a get together at IHOP for some tasty nighttime breakfast.
Putting a lot of our donated art stuff from Las Olas on eBay, and tracking that is going to be a daily fun stop
for Kat – (since I can’t seem to sign comments at Enigma) The Billboard website. Look at the Charts on the left. Albums, for example.

Well, I’ve got a fair amount of sleep under my belt (about 5 hours… I prefer at least 6) so I think I’ve got a decent amount of Scotto-fuel to get me through the day.
I’ve got the things I’m going to mail off today, and my bank deposit. Hopefully, I can get that stuff taken care of sometime midday. It’s raining and thundering out right now… I’m in a decent mood.

Fuckin’ Frankie comes by at 11:30 to use the phone.
Today was supposed to be a day of rest and comfort. From 3PM on, that simply wasn’t the case. Tomorrow will be a better day… I’ll be able to focus on other issues. There were a few positives about the day… Fortunately, I have some good anchors to keep me grounded. Added bonus, short week ahead.
I get to be a piglet for dessert snack tonight, because I need to catch up on my points, and I’m not in the mood for orange juice.

Random Scotto factoid – I liked Dynamite Magazine when I was in elementary school, but only because of Magic Wanda’s tricks page. DYNAMITE (1974-1992)
ok, I’ve implemented flex points in my system…we’ll see how that works out. Rather than point ranges for each day, 35 flex points are awarded each week. These points may be used as needed during the week. As part of this program Weight Watchers has eliminated point ranges and now assigns a single daily point value for each weight group. Seven days, five points a day, equals 35 points. I’ve done the math, and you still get the exact same number of points per week – it’s just a different psychological way of counting. They’re just modifying the system so that it’s in terms of a week rather than in terms of a day… though I can reserve some for a extra gluttonous day on occasion.
I’ve been craving ice cream cake since Cookie Puss has made a return to Carvel. Though… fudgie the whale seems to be sort of ironic. “To a whale of a dad… Here’s a big chunk of ice cream, tubbo!”

Labor day
I’m looking forward to spending some quality time today… so far, so good. It’s going to get better, too, I’m sure.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on TV last night.. I haven’t seen it in ages, and forgot how fun it was, though I think Benny Hill was underused.
Comfortable and quiet morning… Newt’s been more talkative the last day or three. After a gray, wet start, there‘s a rainbow outside now.
Cracked 5000 pints in the vampire game. Current rank is “Legendary” (from Count)

Ach, overslept this morning… I’m going to have to do that file-tranny tonight. 1.31 gigs transfer over the instant messenger. (the six episodes of neverwhere… the first one timed out at 30 meg to go. D’oh!) Isketch is a hoot, but some of the topics are *hard*. I’m glad that you’re allowed to skip the impossible ones. Even the comic-book ones had some that I’d never heard of… sixth-string run-twice books from the mid-70s. It’s much simpler to draw “Hulk Smash” or “The Human Torch.” I’d like to get a big goon squad to play online pictionary sometime. (Though I’m terrible at mouse-art… a wacom pad would make things a lot simpler.)
The morning constitutional and shower brought me some good energy, and I’m feeling pretty good.
Today is Danny’s last Day of his summer courses, so we’ll be able to get together Tomorrow and hang out a bit. It’ since to be able to goof off with him so much now, because when the regular school season starts up, he’ll be much more restricted in his visits.
Noticed a scammy-looking letter in my Box this morning, and I did a follow-up on it. It’s upsetting because I think that this would fool a lot of people that don’t know better. My rule of thumb is never follow links from inside an email regarding information updates, but instead to go to the main company site, and see if there are any banners or update questions there.
The Email I received (and have forwarded to Ebay for whatever legal action they would like to take part in) was –
