Yesterday I had my canonical meeting with Professor Xie. I wish I
would have had more to show her, but this week was too insane for me
to accomplish anything for her. I had lunch with jolsen. After work I
did a lot of work on the family
site. I don't know why that particular project has taken me of
late. It is certainly not my highest priority.
Today I did chores for most of the afternoon. Lita came over for a bit. We watched Finding Nemo and Futurama. After she left I did some more work on the genealogy stuff and scanned some family photos. John got off work later in the evening and we watched Rushmore. I think that I liked it more than John did. He seemed somewhat reluctant to rewatch it when I picked it out of the pile. During the movie my temporary filling came out. I think this is a Bad ThingTM. I will give the dentist a call tomorrow.
I have been reading Neil Gaiman's newest comic book creation. It is entitled "1602" and it is a kind of study of what the world would be like were the marvel characters around in that year. It starts off very strong. Toward the end the book feels the need to "explain" why these characters exist in this time frame, and this detracted greatly from my enjoyment of the book. Over all the hardcover is worth the 25 USD price tag, but just barely. It will be much more economical if and when it appears in trade paperback. In the final analysis I am not a great fan of the super hero genre, at least not when it takes itself seriously, and this comes dangerously close.
