Circa: RIGHT NOW!

I just returned to the office from getting coffee. As I was walking across the street an obviously homeless female passed me. As she passed me she punched me. Not hard but she did punch me in the arm. I scowled at her and continued on my way.
I work in an office building on the ground floor, inside past a gate and an entry way. Our front office door has a 6" piece of glass that runs vertical the length of the door. Well, a few minutes ago I looked up and said female was looking in at me!
I walked opened the door and she was holding up a finger and asked "What is my finger for?". I closed the door and called the police to have her removed. My coworker Amy has spoken to her to ask her to leave and the female only sat on the floor in front of the door. This was about 2 minutes ago.
As i write this she is standing again and looking through the door to me. We are waiting for the police to remove her.

To be clear, besides punching me, she has not bothered anyone beyond standing in front of our door and talking crazy.

What a day.

Birthday details update, as much as I have anyway. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=637511773&ref=nf

1/14/2010 is my actual birthday and as I have for the last 3 years, I plan on spending it at a bar (on 1/16/2010). BUT! Not Forbidden Island this time, no. This year will be Smugglers Cove in SF!

If you wish, come say happy birthday to me. I plan on being there all day, as I tend to do for my birthday. No drinks buying or presents required, but drink buying is still appreciated.

So yeah, 1/16/2010 at Smugglers Cove SF. Open to close (if we can).

I know it's not new news, but I'm a little sad that My Name is Earl is canceled.

It's Zombies and Hunters!

I live on a very friendly, family oriented street. There are at least 15 kids who live on our block. Right now all the boys in the neighborhood are outside playing Zombies and Hunters! Two of the boys have plastic toy chainsaws and they are chasing the other boys around yelling "You're a Zombie!"

This all makes me very happy, being the Zombie enthusiast that I am.

This is a very spendy pint of almost bad gelato. The gelato it's self is icy and as for the "crunch" in the title of the flavor, doesn't exist. There is tiny bits of cookie in the gelato, but they are either so small they are specs or they are big enough to just be soft. They call it caramel because it has Dulce De Leche in it. On the container it says gelato, but there are no eggs in it so it's really more just plain ole ice cream and poorly done to boot. Even as an ice cream, I am a firm believer of egg in ice cream.
TO make matters worse, their website plays bad music when you visit it. Overall, stay away from this brand, it's just not good.

Open letter to Sam Raimi.

Mr. Raimi, let me be brief. In your latest movie, Drag Me To Hell, the protagonist is cursed by what appears to be an older Gypsy woman. Normally these things happen after a HORRIBLE slight such as a murder, theft of something precious or extreme shame brought on to the family name. However, in this case the old women wasn't allowed a 3rd extension on her home mortgage. Really? What's more, she curses the mortgage agent who really was just doing her job. Are ideas really that slow coming?

Tell you what, here's an idea for your or anyone else's, next Gypsy curse story. Old Gypsy woman goes to Sziller for a steak. She orders her steak Medium, but they giver her Medium Well. Boom, CURSE!! And don't forget to curse the waiter, not the chef who cooked the steak!

On the plus side, the chin scene in the car, brilliant!

Love,
Damon

Pay attention to the screen grab in the article.

Know any crazy Buffy/Angel/Firefly fans who want an iPhone? I'm selling mine on Ebay.

I started this in an attempt to be funny. I hope that I can keep it going and get a circle of GI Joe characters involved. Anyway, there it is.

I think I have come to a conclusion on Movie remakes. It's not so much that I hate them or think they should never be done. I just feel they should add to the legacy of the previous film. Let's be honest John Carpenters The Thing was a fantastic remake of Thing From Another World.

It's the remakes where they don't really change any thing in the film or change the story so much that it hardly can be called a remake any more.

The Day the Earth Stood Still was just remade with Keanu Reeves. I don't want to spoil it for people, there was a major story change to the movie that was entirely unwarranted.

I could go on and on, but that was all I wanted to say.

OK OK! I'm awake!

I forgot to turn my alarm off for work last night, so here I am at 7 am, awake and sore.

Can't lift my right arm and it feels like I have a golfball under my skin. Bike insurance has been called and my breakfast of Vicodin has been eaten.

Next up, follow up with my personal Dr, go get prescriptions, call CHP to see if report is ready. Take more Vicodin.

Still appreciating that nothing is broken.

5:10pm today I was cut off by a lady in a large white SUV. She clipped my front end which threw me to the ground at about 45-50 mph. CHP found the accident to be her fault, what with her cutting me off and clipping me. I'm okay, just VERY sore. Xrays show nothing is broken. Bike is in way worse shape. The good people at Godspeed will take good care of it. Now, the pics...









I feel very lucky to be here and not broken.

I don't have much to say right now, but please enjoy this picture found on the webtubes.

Yard sales.

F'em.

We are having a yard sale tomorrow so I have spent the last couple of days prepping for it. I have learned a few things.

1, I have a LOT of crap to get rid of.
2, I HATE getting ready for yard sales. I just want to set all this crap on fire.



This is my collected pile of junk, please come buy it!!!!! It's like 80% Comic Books and RPGs. What makes me really sad? I still have 5 totes of stuff to get rid of. Next time I suppose or perhaps this fire thing I've heard of.

Now, I just want a nap and for this to be over with.
