Well, I've been able to eat toast and scrambled egg last night and today.  I am hurting all over from the effects of this flu.  I found out that the lady who runs the front desk at my apt complex had the same virus and her symptoms matched mine exactly.  So, it appears that this is a flu, and I think that it's finally giving up on me.  I lost a ( Read more... )

Well, I've been sucker punched for the last few days by something in my stomach.  I don't know if it's the lovely new condition I have or a flu, but I've been down since Friday night.  Way down.  Fever.  Not eating.  We've been trying lots of drugs to attack it but not much is working.  The biggest issue aside from the general malaise and fogginess ( Read more... )

Aint It Cool is hearing rumblings that CBS is making prelim moves to bring back a scaled-down Jericho.  Too sweet if it works.

I promise that AdventureCon was way funner than the last post and will put up better stories soon.  The wedding was so cool it made CNN this morning!

Back later, I hope.

So, two days have passed of three for the opening shot of my con season (even though there are only two I will be attending this year).  It's been a lot bigger con and in many ways, better, than previous years.  There have been panels with the stars that have been fun, much better cosplay and I've even enjoyed the city's response.  More on all of ( Read more... )

You know, one of the labels I don't mind being put on me is futurist. I have long been fascinated by visions of what tomorrow can bring, and especially those things that enhance our quality of life or make us more productive, creative and so on.

For example, as a student of history, I have long believed that the prolification of digital cameras ( Read more... )

CBS is cancelling Jericho.

Firefly, Angel, Wonderfalls, Enterprise, Blade and now, Jericho. ARRRRGGGGHHHH. I feel like Charlie Brown after Lucy's pulled away the football. Hey, CBS, bite me.

And Aeryn inspired me, so...

This has a few crude parts, but I just laughed and laughed and laughed.
