Two weeks ago, on Friday morning (the 16th), Mom and I headed out for PA to spend the weekend with my big brother Peter (wolfchylde) and Tony (tonybbb). We first took our car to Jiffy Lube for an oil change, but when it was finished, we almost didn't head out, because of a misalignment with the air filter, which kept us in the middle of the street for 15 minutes, ( Read more... )

I'm going to PA with Mom for the weekend to visit my big brother Peter (wolfchylde) and his partner Tony (tonybbb). I'll be back probably on Monday. So I may or may not get to see the upcoming Powerpuff Girls special on Monday night (unless they have a rerun). I'll let you know how things turn out.

Sorry for the late reply, readers. I've been nicely settling down from the wake of Grandma's passing from almost a couple of weeks ago.

Tonight, Mom, Angel and I are going up to Pennsylvania to visit Peter (wolfchylde) and Tony (tonybbb), respectively. So I'll be out until Sunday (Angel has to be back on Monday, so that's why we couldn't stay a day or two longer).

Peter and Tony are slated to come down for Thanksgiving, incidentally!

This hilarious Penny Arcade strip from September 3 is yet another real-life scenario! I'm Gabe, whereas Tycho can be either Peter OR Tony! Oh, man, this is too true to life!

Tycho's corresponding commentary here.

I got back from Dragon*Con on Monday night/Tuesday morning. It was absolutely exhausting, but I had a lot of fun, anyway.
