Methinks a visit to Half-Priced Books may be forthcoming. Mayhap not this week, but definitely by next week. I've got stuff to sell.
Don't sell your soul, Aberzombie! Besides, I doubt you would get much for it.
I kept wondering "Why is that arrow getting closer?"
And then it hit me.
You used to be an engineer until you took an arrow to the knee?
Have fun! My internet is still out so I can't bug you when I get home.
Just got finished watching The Legend of Tarzan, with Alexander Skarsgard. Pretty f$#%ing cool movie. Lots of action. Great special effects. Good story. Great acting. A worthy successor to the Tarzan movies I remember from my youth.
100% agreed.
Actually one of the few movies I got to go and see in the theater with the wife. (Monkey isn't the ONLY poor late-middle-aged person still here!) ;P
It was a good flick, lots of action and adventure as befits a Tarzan movie, lots of interesting character development too.
And as the Zombie said, it made me feel like I was watching an old Tarzan flick as a kid again.
Wizard highly recommends, if you like that sort of thing. :)

Some of it may or may not be children's books that are really f!~&ing annoying.
You might be amazed at how many of those are out there.
Um,... All of them?!? ;P
(Speaking as husband of a teacher who also likes to happen to collect childrens books. Our kids are 17 & 13, and she still won't get rid of them!) :P

Weird dream last night.
To start, there was a magic rat who kept trying to get in the house. Every time I started smacking at him with a broom, he'd run away while shrinking - first down to the size of a mouse, then down to the size of a lady bug.
Second, a rattlesnake had taken up residence in my garage. I was working on the pumpkin for Halloween, and kept hearing this weird noise. It wasn't until the wife came out that we realized it was the snake. Then he kept chasing us every time we'd get near him.
It zounds as if you are vorried about ze safety uf your houzehold. Ze animals invading your borders represent fears uf problems descending upon your house .Zome problems become smaller ven you face zem , uthers are harder to discover, and more dangerous.
My turkey soup became more of a turkey stew...still pretty darn good. I do need some oyster crackers to go with though

Found out yesterday my former employer has laid people off yet again. At this rate, the company may not be able to recover along with the rest of the industry.
Still, this pretty much confirms something I've been suspecting - the overwhelming number of layoffs (over 75% of the workforce), isn't just due to the downturn. There's been some bad management decisions.

There was a cat outside the house this morning. It was overly friendly and attempting to hang out with us while we were trying to get the kids in the car. Then, as the wife started to go back inside, the cat ran to catch up to her, prompting me to shout out a warning that it might be trying to get inside.
When I got back from dropping the kids off at school, the cat was still outside, sitting on the bench outside my front door. I haven't checked in a bit, so I don't know if it's still out there.

There is a program they do at the boy's school called Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students). The dad (or dads) come out to school and spend all day, helping out in various areas, and even getting to spend time with their kid(s).
I finally took the plunge and signed up for a day to go, the Friday before Halloween.

And I've got all but one ingredient needed to craft a Staff of Herding. This staff is needed to gain access to the secret level of Whimsyshire, where your character can do battle with Unicorns, Teddy Bears, and Smiling Sunflowers.
Going back to this, I'm a little peeved the final ingredient is proving so damned stubborn to acquire. It's basically a crap shoot whether the location you need to get the item from will show up, and another crap shoot whether the chest containing the item will appear.
Very annoying.
I don't really like kids enough to do more than that.
What little like of kids I have is being rapidly worn away by having to drive them home from school..
Oh sweet Jeebus now I know why all my bus drivers were so crabby
I got the liquid rainbow. The staff of herding is crafted. Soon Whimsyshire shall feel my bearded wrath.
What manner of game are you camping liquid rainbow in? You know that stuff is illegal in seven imaginary countries.

It's Diablo 3. The liquid is one of the ingredients needed to craft the Staff of Herding, which then allows you to access the secret level of Whimyshire and battle unicorns, teddy bears, and anthropomorphic sunflowers.
