Strange and fuzzy weekend. Threatened with a blizzard that never materialized. Our neighbor up the block is doing something that requires a that pile of dirt roughly the size of his house be in his front yard. Also a...crane...thing that extends over their house and into the backyard. Good for their tiny grandchild, however, who can often be seen perched atop the mound, grinning madly and brandishing a shovel.

Watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force set. I now remember why I hated the very early episodes so very, very much. *smacks them with a stick*

Working on action figures, a sign that winter is surely here. Power Man, made from a Falcon. Got the mask lines filed off his face, scrounged him some Captain America pants, working on his face paint. The only difficult bit will be making his yellow blouse. Well, not so much difficult as unbelievably annoying.

I forgot. The Tick episode "The Tick vs. Justice" contains a shout-out to SCTV, with its Guy With a Snake on His Face.

Went to bookstore at lunch. Made the grey cat purr, and received one of those Oh Take Me Now You Stud bites you get when a cat thinks you're speshul. Alas, this request is impossible to fulfill, for oh so many reasons.

They had huge piles of new (old) SF. Someone's collection from the 70s. The sight of all those once commonplace spines sent me into a nifty little time warp. I scored some Lord Dunsany and A. Merrit. Woo, and if I may, hoo.

Ooo! First volume of Licensed by Royal[ty] comes out tomorrow!

_{"Ann, I trust you've learned your lesson about Chinese bootleg DVDs?"
"Yes ma'am."
"And how to check the licensing list?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Then go and sin no more."
"Yes ma'am."}

I read The Ring manga, which was scary (at least at 1:00 a.m.) in spite of looking like a Jack Chick comic. Or maybe because it looked like a Jack Chick comic.

Although, sadly, Sama does not beller out a good, solid, "HAW! HAW! HAW!"
