Took Holly down to Value Village today so she could shop for a few new clothes.  While she did that, I read some more D-Day.  Afterwards, we did a troll of the comic corner here in Victoria.  Our big find was the Transformers Animated Almanac, a guide to the series.  The perfect book for Hunter, filled as it was with all the various characters from ( Read more... )

Hunter was over today for a visit.  We had peanut butter sandwiches and played a bit of LEGO Indiana Jones and Crash Bandicoot.  He's getting pretty good managing the controller, which is nice to see.

However, we had a difference of opinion on whether or not he should get a treat which led to him saying he never wants to come over to my place again ( Read more... )

Hunter may have the heart of a wargamer.  We were playing Snakes & Ladders (the Marvel Superhero Squad version) and half way through he said he wanted to change the rules.  He proceeded to pick the number he was going to "spin" on the spinner, and move that.  Once he'd won the game, he further introduced a house-rule where the various super-heroes ( Read more... )

After picking up Hunter from school, he declared that we had to go shopping for food because he was out of food.  As we diverted to the local Safeway, I checked in with Holly and discovered that despite Hunter's claim to be without milk, they had some.  However, since I needed to do a bit of shopping, I figured what the heck.

Hunter picked out what ( Read more... )

Hard to find stuff to update about, when you're still fighting a cold.  Spent much of the day napping or blowing my nose.  Whee.

I've made it through the second part of Quicksilver, and further than I did in my last attempt.  I think I'm having more luck this time because I've approached the book as a science-fiction alternate earth, rather than a ( Read more... )

Can't seem to shake the cold yet.  Most vexing.

I found a copy of the volume 1 of Thunderbolts collection (the Kurt Busiek version) in the cheap bin at the local comic shop, and snagged that up.  I followed the comic, but not until somewhere around issue #6, so looked forward to seeing the early stuff and how it began.  Well, that was the plan...

Despite still being sick, I knew Holly needed some Holly time so took Hunter off her hands this evening.  A good time was had at Dada's place, as we figured out his new Samuria Prowl Transformers Animated action figure.  We also watched some episodes of the new Iron Man Armored Adventures series, which I rather like myself.  With pit stops for ( Read more... )

Might have been optimistic about hitting 100%.

Made it to the gym this morning for about an hour of cardio and stretching.  I'm sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow morning.  Felt good to get active though, and I really need to try and work in more of that into my day.

Had some Hunter time this afternoon.  There were tears, because I wouldn't give him a ( Read more... )

Had a good time at Pathfinder tonight, as our heroes continue to put a sizeable wrench in the plans of both the Little and Big Bads.  They're skirting on the edges of understanding what's actually going on, but haven't quite put all the puzzle pieces together yet.  Gonna be fun when they kick the main villain's ass.  At the rate we're going, that' ( Read more... )

Motley Crue put on a pretty damn good show to kick off their winter tour.  A ton of pyrotechnics, lots of guitar noodling and drum pounding, and a good dozen or more deafening BOOOMS.  They opened with Quick Start My Heart, and finished with Dr. Feelgood.  In between, they touched on Looks that Kill, Shout at the Devil, and more.

Of the metal bands ( Read more... )
