What's Goin' On

Another update on my excitingly dull life, borrowing Mimmi's posting style.

SHAZAM! - Mom went to the doctor on Tuesday to get half the staples out of her surgery scar and to have the drain bag removed. She's going back today to get the other half out.

SHAZAM! - My laptop is driving me mad. Late last week, it stopped connecting to the internet without warning. The wirless plug-in is still working, and nothing I have tried has succeeded at fixing it. At this rate I might try to dig out the system disc, wipe the hard drive and start over.

SHAZAM! - Waiting for the Doctor Who books I ordered to get here. Hopefully they will arrive today, and when they do you can expect more book reviews in the near future.

SHAZAM! - It's been raining every evening for the last several days. We haven't seen this much regular rain in ages, and we can definitely do with it.

SHAZAM! - I finally picked up the final volume of Hell Girl last weekend. Woot! Heh, now I'll go through the backlog of my collection and wait for box sets before buying anything else.

SHAZAM! - The new Pyramaze album became available to order today, so I snagged my copy. Can't wait to hear Matt Barlow singing again after several long years of silence. It'll keep me happy until Iced Earth (his old band that he has also rejoined) releases their new CD in a couple of months.

SHAZAM! - And now, a factoid. I was watching Lost Worlds on History International; this episode was about the massive building plans Hitler had in mind once he conquered the world. They talked about the arena he comissioned for the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. DID YOU KNOW: The torch relay is not an ancient Greek tradition, but was actually introduced to the games by the Nazis. That's right, our beloved relay is a Nazi creation. People today don't even realize this. Scary...
