My Power Girl
► While my bank account is poorer, my life is now culturally richer. Well, maybe not.
Today, Wednesday, is new comic day in North America, and my Power Girl statue that I ordered 3 weeks ago was to arrive at the comic book shop. The play was that Deana would drive me on Saturday to pick it up since she can't take me during her work hours. As it turned out, she was off today so she told me to call the shop and see if the statue was in (it was) and volunteered to drive me. I was worried about going because I had eaten some cookies an hour earlier and the way my nerves and stomach are I can't go out after eating.
Blah, blah, blah, we went and I got my Power Girl statue! Unfortunately I have no idea where to put it, and keep moving it around my bedroom.

At least, if you want to interpret it that way.
► Cracked.com: 6 Beloved Organizations (Started For Terrifying Reasons) - Ah, the feeble-minded and "the moron class". Ten years ago or so I saw a comedy special on cable with a Canadian comedian. One of his routines was a bit on how politically incorrect and offensive actual medical terms were 100 years ago. In the routine he mimicked a doctor informing concerned parents that they're child had been diagnosed as "a Mongolian idiot". The funniest, and saddest, part is that he wasn't really exaggerating much.
I think the comedian was Eric Tunney, who sadly passed away last year at 45. I'd like to know whatever happened to that VHS tape I had of the special.
