11am tomorrow, H-Hour. That’s when I go under the knife. I know it’s a bit over-dramatic, but that’s how I’m feeling right now. I just can’t seem to maintain an even emotional keel at the moment. I’ve had surgery before, my hip replacement decades ago and my gall bladder just weeks ago, but this one has me really worked up. They’re going to make the second biggest incision a surgeon’s ever made in my body, and they are going to take a tennis-ball-sized chunk of one of my organs.

Looks like they’re planning to follow the mission all the way to the landing, at least. I’ve got the audio feed running in the background at work. Launch is in just under an hour, and I’m spamming this to all my social networks, because that’s the kind of dork I am.

10:14 Ok, fandom: if you say, “Oh, I want to be *just like* Rorschach”, or indeed any Watchmen char, I suspect you’ve utterly missed the point. # 10:33 Huh. The WoW Armory seems to be busted, I can’t look anyone up. # 11:08 @UrsulaV Fools on the Internet are like the legendary Hydra – cut one down, and two more spring forth to replace it. # 13:21 Meiran’s going to want to see this: tinyurl.com/aum42e 1978 “Lost Ark” story conference, Lucas and Spielberg (125pg. PDF) # Sent subspace radio by LoudTwitter … Continue reading →

08:26 @tangowildheart Vilya was the elven Ring of Air, on the hand of Elrond in LotR. # 11:20 I can’t remember the zip code of the last place I worked, but I can give you the names of the three elven rings in no time. *eyeroll* # 12:40 @meiran Be strong. We may knock one down, but the Internet has a nigh-infinite-supply of idiots. # 18:13 Rumor going around that Daft Punk will score the “Tron 2” movie. tinyurl.com/b7ru6h Probably BS, but my nerd heart is soaring. # Sent subspace radio by LoudTwitter … Continue reading →

14:35 Just got verbally approved for the house loan. Stomach doing acrobatics. # 21:04 @jephjacques The correct response to that is to blow him a kiss and say “thank you” in your best “Queer Eye” Carson Kressley voice. # Sent subspace radio by LoudTwitter … Continue reading →

07:49 @starstryder That’s right! you need Katamari Damacy instead: tinyurl.com/iPrince # 07:51 Wow. Absolutely exhausted yesterday, nearly wrecked on the way home. Think I’m feeling better this morning. # 13:33 @queenofpith If a Richmond Dave & Busters installs the VWE MechWarrior simulation pods, I am so there! # 14:56 Job perk: had lengthy hallway discussion with boss this morning about Dollhouse, Dr. Who, and BSG. Local PBS may be showing 4th Doctor eps! # 17:30 Just watched Blizzard’s Uldar preview video. Holy smoke! For the first time ever, I’m really sorry that I’ve never done endgame raiding. # 18:42 OMG, … Continue reading →

06:25 Since I didn’t manage to see a single new movie in 2008, the Oscars piqued my interest not at all. # 09:15 Sewing machine FAIL. Got nice book, but was too busy with other errands this weekend to sit down and play with machine. Maybe later this wk. # 19:14 @fuzzface00 I found out about the anti-air flak in WoW the hard way myself! Thank goodness for mage Blink and Invisibility. # Sent subspace radio by LoudTwitter … Continue reading →

12:00 Is Londo’s line “pecked to death by cats” or “nibbled to death by cats”? There’s been some debate about this. # 13:05 Google isn’t sure, but Twitter and Facebook say “nibbled.” Kind of a shame, I think “pecked to death by cats” is funnier. # 13:32 Converting my elfie mail access from POP to IMAP, since these days I read my mail from different clients at different times. Thanks John! # 14:22 @SJGames Every time I speak up and say, “Well, I’ll admit that I really really like *this* Microsoft product,” they cancel it. # 14:57 Dear universe: thank … Continue reading →
