freakangels skip week

warren ellis is taking this week off from his web comic. in his filler diatribe, he notes:

"Weekly comics don’t suck. You can read them anytime. You can wait for weeks and read several episodes at once."


yes! VINDICATION.

google shared items...

...has become my blog. i am SO lazy. my only quibble is that there's no back and forth at all. not necessarily a commenting system, but some kind of reciprocity to let other people know what you thought of *their* shares. for a while i've been re-tweeting others' shares, with the assumption that their shared thought would be quoted under my share... which turns out is not the case?? i'm at a loss. google reader is *so* good functionality wise save that. [nevermind the fact that rss feeds are the devil, but i digress...]
it's still ugly as sin though. needs a reskin, or different options. get some 20%ers on UI duty, google.


REAL LIFE. yes.

um. my bbq was fun. always starts out as a superdense ball of STRESSfrom unnecessarry worry and overplanning... but i fades after awhile. guess the only way to learn is falling in the deep end; lots of lessons to learn, like not playing halo 3 for 8 hours straight. i need photos from people... ooh- the internet-sourced bbq'd chocolate banana went gangbusters- kind of didn't even really NEED the ice cream on the side, could take it solo / savory too... got a couple variations on deck in my head. BUT-

bbq season's almost gone... summer's basically over...? anticipating the two good weeks of fall now, where its nice and temperate before hoodie weather comes back.
oh. blue was the clear winner for the paint colors... might go tonal- awesome complex deep gray blue on the big wall, and a lighter silver?grey blue for the others... i'll never be done.

the giant backlog of comics is back, with a vengeance... allthough with that bbq over, i've got free time again, kind of. but all i want to do is play video games and surf the internets.

ahh, the PATIO. phase 2 is underway; there's a heap of gravel in the drive, pallets of bricks and a mini-scoop / bobcat in the backyard, and dirt everywhere.

my LAPTOP is fine *functionally*... but it's one of those Dells with an nVidia chip- that WILL fail eventually. to slow it down, it kicks the fan to 100% waaay before it needs it... mine is on like, 90% of the time, its like nails on chalkboard... the frustration is making me look at those netbooks. one good reason, laptop, i'm telling you.
