Sock Prepared
I have my sock prepared. I shall have it in hand to give to my Dobby this eve and furthermore once again set my Dobby free.
SSDD
If you sit on the toilet at 11:59pm and the clock strikes midnight, it's the same shit, just different day.
Getting My Doo On
Enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon watching some episodes of Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. I have always loved Scooby Doo and the gang since I was a little kid. This newer version of the series is a great installation of the series. The Mister E. character is a nice addition to the series as well. Gotta keep watching to see if they reveal who he, (or she) is.
*Update: Just finished enjoying 18 episodes of the first season.

Blur This...
What's the point of blurring out the middle finger on tv? Ooooh you have me fooled. What's behind there? Is it a umbrella? An elephant? A young Bill Cosby?

Volunteering
Spent the day with my wife volunteering running the food kitchen at a Vendor and Craft show. The event was to raise money for our local library. It was a fun great event day.

Before I Slumber
When it's been a long week and your tired and ready for bed before you realized you were tired and ready for bed.
Medieval Women...
No one is more intimidating than a medieval woman who had 15 children and still lived past 80.

You need the name of the film, year it came out, director's name, country of origin, color of the cover, why you want it so bad and if our entire financial situation turns around we'll get it in 6-12 weeks.

Rare Lexiconia : Anecdoche
Anecdoche (noun) A conversation where no one is listening / Conversation in which everyone is talking but nobody is listening, simply overlaying disconnected words like a game of Scrabble, with each player borrowing bits of other conversations as a way to increase their own score, until we all run out of things to say.
Concerning Totoros...
There are two similar, smaller creatures in the film My Neighbor Totoro, also referred to as totoro. The big grey fella is named "O-Totoro" or "Miminzuku". The middle one is "Chu-Totoro" or "Zuku". The smallest of the pack is "Chibi-Totoro" or "Mini". These names do not appear in the film itself, but are used in ancillary materials and products.
1982 moment that shaped all male teens.
I remember when we first got cable in the early 80's and Showtime used to show these brief aerobic workouts between movies. I will admit I am one of the, no doubt thousands of teens that watched these in the 80's. Embarrassing enough and sad to say this was a turning point in several teen's lives towards manhood. Gotta love those leg warmers!
Marvel Universe Cards (1990)
Pound for pound, I'm not sure there's ever been a better trading card set than the first Marvel Universe Cards from 1990. For comic dabblers like me, this was such an amazing crash course reminder on Marvel history. Plus, there was always a chance of scoring a rare hologram card. Mmm, holograms.
One of these things is not like the others.
I an not sure, but I think one of these search results is not directly connected to my search for "Battletech Books".

Pinkie Promise
When you text the wife and tell her you won't watch a movie she wants to watch until you get to watch it together... and you pinkie promise her and send her a picture to seal the deal.
Random Love Note
My wife Saun and I leave each other little love notes. Sometimes we get creative. Sometimes when she packs my lunch for work she will leave me a love note on my napkin in with my lunch. You never know where the next one will be. Each one I keep. I have tons of them in my desk drawer at work as well as a ton more in my desk drawer here at home. I just happened to come across one of the classics she left me. It was a sort of love ransom note. This one she actually mailed to me at my place of work and didn't put any return address or other notes in the envelope with it.Hehe I love her so much!
Font Type Is Important
While sitting at a stop light I noticed the car next to me had a decal. The decal says Beach Life, but from a distance the font looked like it says "Belch Life". Yeah I'm pretty sure a different font choice would have been a clearer choice. It's just like the "Salt Life" decals that look like they say "Slut Life". Definitely gave me a laugh.
Blast from the past.
This brings back memories. While sorting through some stuff this eve I found a old piece of paper I had done some cartoon doodling on from back in the early 80's. Ha Ha, I thought I was so cool back then with my random cartoon character drawings.
Image That... Literally.
Just a friendly reminder... Someone created the noise that dinosaurs make, humans have never heard them.
Just A Random Thought: Hat Etiquette
Ok, what is up with this... what is up with men wearing hats indoors? When I refer to indoors, I am meaning such places like public restaurants, public stores, etcetera. I understand if you work there and your job requires you to wear a hat or you are part of a public service (police, military, etc.). What I am referring to is these guys that just walk around wearing their hats like nothing. What happened to common courtesy and being a gentleman? When you enter a restaurant, take your hat off and leave it off until you leave. Worried about your hair or lack there of? Who cares. Being a gentleman is more impressive than some comb-over or bed head hair. Here is a little bit of Hat Etiquette to help educate you.
A gentleman should remove his hat as he enters a building, including a restaurant, home, classroom, theater, church. This rule includes baseball caps and casual hats. Hats
are to be removed when inside, except for places that are akin to
public streets, e.g., lobbies, corridors, and elevators in public
buildings. In public buildings, the elevator is considered a public area, and therefore an area where a gentleman may leave his hat on.
A gentleman should take off his hat and
hold it in his hand when a lady enters an elevator in any building which
can be classified as a dwelling. He may put his hat back on in the
corridor. A public corridor is a thoroughfare of sorts, much like the
street, but elevators in smaller buildings such as hotels or apartment
homes tend to have the character of a room in a house.
Men are also expected to remove their hats during the playing of the National Anthem.
A woman may leave her hat on during the playing of The National Anthem
when indoors, unless it is considered unisex like a baseball cap. When
wearing such a unisex cap, a woman should follow the same guidelines as
for men.
Removed hats are held in hand in such a way that only the outside and never the lining is visible.
For men, hats are tipped, (or doffed) slightly lifting the hat off your forehead, when meeting a lady (remove your hat if you stop to talk), or to "say" to anyone, male or female-- thank you, hello, goodbye, you're welcome or how do you do. Tipping of the hat is a conventional gesture of politeness. This hat tipping custom has the same origin as military saluting, which came from the raising of medieval Knights face visors to show friendliness.
When You See The Weekend In Reach
*Just a little clip brought to you by my movie of choice this eve: The Blob (1988)
Bartitsu: The Gentlemanly Martial Art
French dictionary illustration from 1922 showing some Bartitsu moves: the gentlemanly cane-based martial art that was practiced by Sherlock Holmes (though it was erroneously called "Baritsu" by Watson). That's the nice thing about the Holmes stories, they are full of interesting bits like that.

Bookshelf Naps
My little buddy Hagrid found himself a new cat nap spot on top of my bookshelf. Silly bugger always finds the most peculiar places.
