I'm nervous
Both Michael Jackson and Billy Mays were born in the same year as I. In fact, both were at least a couple of months younger. I think I look healthier than Billy Mays, at least. You'd think Jackson would have lasted longer. As a rule, I doubt anyone is in better shape than a dancer.

Up
Saw UP last night in 3D. It made my cry, it parallels my own life a little too closely. But, I thought it was a good movie. Who never thought of just telling the world to shove it and taking off on an adventure?
The 3D was better than I expected. I thought it might be kind of iffy because I wear glasses but it worked. -

There's A Time And A Place
Last September at DragonCon I bought a T-Shirt that read "Cthulu for President - Why Vote For The Lesser Evil?" Then I never wore it. It would have been funny in almost any other election year ( Read more... ) -
Megacon
Went to MegaCon in Orlando today, just for the day (it's about a 1.5 hour drive). Enjoyed it but I'm glad I went to DragonCon first last September. If I'd done MegaCon first I might not have bothered with DragonCon but I know from experience now that DC is totally worth the drive to Atlanta. In fact, I already have my reservation for this year ( Read more... ) -

Aside from the death of my friend, 2008 had other big changes for me, not the least of which is that I lost a lot of weight. Over 100 lbs. In fear for my own mortality, and after years of ( Read more... ) -

Talking to myself
I find myself talking to him. It goes like this: "You fucking moron. I kept telling you to go see a doctor. You waited 15 years before you decided to go.
Oh, and I'm talking actually to him. He's in a very nice wooden box in my foyer.
One of these days his brother and I will take him to Chicagp and put him with his mother. I think I have him ( Read more... ) -
Triggers
At lunch time today I decided that rather than go to the supermarket after work to pick up a couple of minor items, I could go to the one a few blocks from the office now so I went. It is a recently opened Walmart Neighborhood Market and I started thinking that we went into the one closer to home for the first and only time just a few weeks ago ( Read more... )
