Mole Men Invasion Begins!

You can see the evidence here as the Mole Men have started their attack in Cerro Azul north of Panama City.

Or... this could be utter b*llsh*t and another Internet hoax.

I dunno. I mean, after beating the Mole Man to death with sticks, the kids threw the body in a pool of water after taking pictures.

'Cause that's what you do with Mole Men. Ya gotta make sure they drown after a beating.

Nobody's found the body.

Hm... naaaaah... couldn't be a hoax. Who would doubt such a plausible story?

zzzz

Weather forecast predicts very hot temperatures next week. Bleah.

Pain has settled in on my shoulder and leg.

I require sleepies.

* A co-worker let me have some chocolate-covered bacon.

It was tasty!

* I took part of my lunch to further stock up on chocolate supplies (though I opted not to combine this trip with a bacon supply run). About half of the supplies survived the trek back to the office.

* I'm giving serious consideration into getting an unbreakable umbrella. It's pricy, but you never know when you might get attacked by a pumpkin or a killer tomato or something.

* I'm splitting my reading time up. At home I'm working on "Sandman Slim", as noted in a prior post. At work (on breaks - duh) I'm reading "Thirteen Orphans", by Jane Lindskold. I figured it might appeal to my fascination with Chinese mythology.

It bills itself as appealing to Jim Butcher fans. I'm going to have to say that I disagree. The implication is that fans of the "Dresden Files" books would like this take on modern magic, but these are totally not the same thing at all. Lindskold's characters spend a good half of the book shambling around doing nothing significant at all, whereas Butcher's books tend to be pretty solid narrative.

It's not a bad book, but I wouldn't push it towards any Butcher fans and expect them to like it.

* I'm tired. I wonder if I can survive class tonight?

Steed. John Steed.

... needed these.

With Emma Peel busting out in her catsuit-fu, I'm pretty sure it would be fine if these were only decorative.

One can obtain the samurai-handled one from ThinkGeek, bless 'em.

I admit to a fascination with the other two handles. The barbarian sword handle would be amusing.

Having carried the samurai sword umbrella about town, I can safely say that any of these earn askance looks from many a soul. That said, the samurai handle umbrella is remarkably good. It's sturdy and a really great umbrella.

And it terrifies ninjas.

* More Star Wars abuse. That never gets old.

* An umbrella for beating up uppity foods.

* I've started reading "Sandman Slim" by Richard Kadrey. It's pretty over-the-top. It's entertaining so far. I reserve judgement for now.

* I'm getting more and more excited about the upcoming Zombieland movie.

* I really need to see 9.

Brain Dump:

- With barely half a cup of coffee in my bloodstream, I fixed a problem getting a program to run on my PC at home. Yay me!

- I'm kind of tied of the deluge of Megan Fox pics on the various geek sites I frequent. C'mon, guys. There's other women out there...

- After falling out of a hand-stand yesterday and crinking my neck a bit, I'm pleasantly-surprised to find that I feel minimal pain this morning. Yay me!

- So when the moon is just a wee, tiny sliver in the sky, that's apparently a "Hunter's Moon". How do I know that? Hippie relatives.

- One Firefox function that's seriously starting to bug me: when tabs suddenly pop out into their own separate browser window. Annoying.

- The latest Dresden Codak is so totally random that I can't stop laughing at it.

Life is good.

Fringy Glee

Yes, that's right! Thursday night will air the premiere of season 2.0 of "Fringe".

To say I'm excited doesn't quite convey the full emotion of how I feel.

Can't... wait...
