so i stepped on a squirrel this morning. stupid bastard ran right out in front of me, literally right underfoot. i trod upon it’s paw, it freaked out, and ran back the way it came. i hope i didn’t hurt it, but i’m also glad he didn’t try to go at me, [...]

colonel chekov, the stuffy russian ambassador from sg-1, did the voices of marsala on exosquad and optimus primal on beast wars, both of whom were wise leaders and the exact opposite of chekov’s usual grumpy demeanor. this is intensely ironic. it also means i need to put a marsala figure next to [...]

first day back from a week off of work, and i came home early because i was moving comic boxes around yesterday, and i guess my back didn’t like that.
all the more motivation to switch from long boxes to short boxes. only trick is, short boxes are less than half the size of a [...]

i need 250 of the earth dollars! stupid amazon 50% off scifi dvd sale. ds9, next gen, and classic trek, $35 a season. (also voyager and other franchises as well…) i wish i could do this.
seriously, paramount, this is ridiculous. $40 should be regular price, even if not right at [...]

luke has an interview with rob liefeld up over at the oc weekly.
youngblood at heart.
special bonus: liefeld trash talks alan moore.

i had four dollars in my account and i used it to buy ramen, bagels, and some tomatos. with peanut butter in my locker and home-made strawberry jam in the fridge at work, i could eat lunch this week. steal some of annie’s nuts and raisins and chocolate chips to make trail mix.
huzzah! [...]

I have more toys sitting on or around my computer than most people I know even own. and that’s just my desk.
(pics added 5.10.08 @ 11:05 pm - these were taken about six months before this post, so imagine even more crap lying around. desktop, ‘workshop’ of projects i probably never finished, and [...]

(revised on 5/10/08 @ 4:02 am)
new computer consists of(for now)
brand new duron 950 cpu
motherboard with built in sound
new box
fan
256 meg of ram
256 meg of ram? my god man! surely not!
wow. just wow.
what’s more embarrassing than how piddling this all sounds today is that this computer sat unassembled for like three years.
5 [...]
