Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was pretty decent. Work was kind of pissy, but the wife and kidlets met me for lunch.
When I got home yesterday evening, the wife surprised me with decorations, chocolate chip cookie cake, and presents. I got two t-shirts and four bluray movies: Thor 2, Reservoir Dogs, Terminator 2, and Braveheart.
Plus we had delicious BBQ for dinner. Mmmmm......

After the boy was put to bed, I was sitting downstairs with the wife and we both kept hearing beeping noises. Turns out the boy had hidden his digital camera in his room and was playing games on it. I figured out the truth when he called for a drink of water, but forgot to stop playing his games and hide it when I came upstairs.
A master criminal he is not.

I wish Joss was directing ep. 7. Then there might be some female characters in it.
And they'd be well written.

Then we picked up some Popeye's for lunch. Now I'm sitting around a bit before going to run some more errands.
Some of the stuff I have left over is 2 small boxes of DVDs and a few CDs. The plan is to take them to Half-Priced Books. I may not get much, but I'll get something. I may just do that today, since the Half-Priced is right next to my FLGS. Then I could hit that place for free comic book day.
Popeyes is the Joss Whedon of fried chicken.

All we were able to get on short notice was a two liter of jolt cola and some Ben and Jerry's chunky monkey. Will you trade him for that?
Chunky Monkey is the Joss Whedon of ice cream.

A couple of drunk guys in my lobby last night were going on and on about how much they loved the air freshener in the public bathroom. They wanted me to tell them what it was. How would I know? I'm not responsible for ordering or installing it, and frankly I try not to smell when I'm in a bathroom. But I told them I would ask the maintenance guy if he came by (he doesn't work on Sunday, but usually comes by for a cup of coffee and see if there is anything important needing done). He was surprised by the question but went and checked it. Turns out, it's cookie dough scented. Weird.
Learn your job, man.

Brewing coffee for the masses can be sad work. Especially when you have to get up before everybody else to brew the bean water.
I get mine from 7/11.

I set my microwaved popcorn on fire at work once. I mean, it FLAMED when I opened the bag. I had to run it under water. It smelled absolutely horrible. Then I left the building for an offsite meeting, commiserating with everyone who complained about the smell. "Awful, isn't it? What idiot did that?"
>_>
I started a fire in the frying pan the first time I tried to do popcorn in it.

Met Brandon Sanderson at Comic Con a few years ago. Like all authors, he seems to be quite short.
FHDM said nothing about them being good authors.
Also, while Andrzej Sapkowski (author of Witcher book series) isn't tall, the second Polish most popular fantasy writer of 90s/early 2000s, Feliks Kres, was quite tall as are a few other popular Polish fantasy writers.
I feel slightly better.
According to Google, George R. R. Martin is 5'6". I'm not sure how I feel about Google having that as one of it's auto-pop-up answer things.
The hat makes him look taller.

We had a dozen chickens while I was growing up and they are a lot of work. They're also dumber than a bag of hammers. And raccoons will kill them any chance they can.
