12:17 pm - I never see anyone discussing Spectacular Spider-Man
|
Is anyone on my friend's list watching this toon, be it in real time, DVR, download, whatever?
Today's episode was a little all over the place, reminding me a bit of Spider-Man 3 in trying to throw a tons of stories into one pot, but Greg Weissman, Victor Cook and Sean Galloway and their team pulled it off really well.
I'm a little iffy on them deciding to steal the kiss from the movies and giving it to Black Cat, but I can deal.
I'm curious on how they decide that Spider-Man discovers how to get rid of the symbiote. I'm guessing Doc Connors will be a replacement for Reed Richards there. It'd be awesome if they decided to bring FF into the cartoon. I'd love to see this version of Spidey in a Paper Bag mask and a spare FF costume without shoes!
Later today? IRON MAN finally. There's something I'd rather be doing, but Iron Man will do.

2:52 pm - Man am I a klutz
|
I go to bring my Soup At Hand to my mouth. The lid is somehow not secured. The soup spills down on to my lip and burns it, then on to my shirt and also a bit on the floor and the wall.
I walk back to my cubicle to grab paper toweling to clean up the mess and proceed to slam my right shoulder into my cubicle as I enter it. The cubicle is poorly designs, so My shoulder also starts pulling away the plastic and I get scratched up the side of my arm.
If it wasn't for talking to my Princess and feeling much bliss I'd think the gods were conspiring against me.
They might still be... but if that's the best they can do, I can deal.
Either that or I'm just a freaking super clumsy person who can't be trusted with a can of hot soup and a faulty cubicle.

11:58 am - Just feel like saying Hi!
|
I got nothing to say actually.
All is good. I'm going to take a walk and take care of some business.
Say hello back if you have the time. :)

9:01 pm - On Smallville
|
Wow... that cliffhanger was worse than when Jor-El froze him for the rebirth.
I mean really? We have to wait four months for the follow up to THAT? :(
Disappointed... surely... by the whole episode.

7:50 pm - Help my friend Elizabth out for both a good cause and a chance at an excellent prize
|
originally posted by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) reannon:
Dear friends:
I am happy to announce a new contest to benefit the Relay for Life campaign. Anna Genoese, former editor for Tor Books, has offered her editorial services as a prize. She will give a complete evaluation of the first 100 pages of the winner's manuscript free of charge. For you writers, this is a fantastic prize worth $300.
Here's how you enter: Donate to Relay for Life. I will get notification of all donors by name. For every $5 you donate, you'll get one entry in the contest. On June 9, the winner will be chosen by my nine-year-old son pulling the name out of a hat. I will announce the winner on both my blogs and my YahooGroup and put you in touch with Anna.
I am very grateful to Anna for her offer, and I'd like to thank her publicly here for her generosity. To say nothing of the fact that this is a very important cause. Stop and think how many people you know who have been touched by cancer. Your money will make a real difference.
Donate now! And thank you for your support.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIDE NOTE from Reid Harris Cooper: I'm going to this year make a point of donating. If I could I would donate thousands, but I'm going to dip into the pay check a bit.
I can personally also vouch for Ms. Genoese. I had the pleasure of being her good friend while in college. She was definitely one of my favorite people and she's quite the talent.
I also after the last few years have too many personals connections to cancer... my father being one. I still struggle with that difficult time everyday and glad that he is now 100% cancer free.

12:12 pm - I think I stopped caring about TV
|
Yes, sure I'll make a point to watch REAPER if it comes back.
I'll follow "How I Met Your Mother"...
I'll indulge in another season of Smallville...
and I even allow myself to watch garbage TV like VH1's Celeb Cadebra.
Truthfully though, as I read the "upfronts" and information for the upcoming Fall season, my interest wanes.
Is it because I just stopped caring or is it because I care about more important things these days. I'm not sure...
I just know when both "New Amsterdam" AND "Moonlight" get cancelled (although who ever knows what can happen to shows) or that Mike Judge can get another cartoon on the air and the show's biggest joke is that the family adopted a baby from Africa and it wasn't black, I just slowly have no interest in TV... or at least not the very vested interest I once had.
Until Spike, Faith or Buffy shows up on "Supernatural", Doctor Who appears on HEROES or HBO/Showtime does a sitcom at a nude resort starring Lori Beth Denberg, Ryan Gosling, Stacey Dash and Wilson Cruz I don't think my interest will rise again.

11:26 am - Like hearing him all over again for the first time
|
Neil Diamond's new album is just such pure loveliness. His words speak such volumes to me, his "The basher" guitar playing kicks ass and his scratchy voice.
It's like I'd never heard him before and am being introduced to a brand new artist who yet is so familiar. It's just so perfect.
You owe it yourself to hear this album. The songs just grab you from first listen. He just has this power and with the help of Rick Rubin and his fellow musicians he took a spark and a lit a fire.
It's actually his best selling album ever too (although I'm betting American Idol contributed to that)... I actually didn't even catch his Idol appearance, as I've been busy with other stuff. I bought it cause it's Neil Diamond.
I love me Neil Diamond... always have, always will... even when he does Idol. (I can't really hate Idol either, I mean it did give us Daughtry's break, Blake Lewis... and well... Clay Aiken... and oh...the fabulous cheesy and cute actress Ryan Starr.)

10:05 am - The Daily Twittering (crime edition)
|
Boss is out sick. Co-worker I have to train has yet to come in.
So what does that mean?
Internet surfing and I'll share it as I come by it.
Dennis Farina arrested??!
How the hell does one forget about a LOADED .22?!?!
DMX arrested AGAIN!
yeah... I'm not surprised. I am surprised it's for being cruel to his dogs again. And by his idiotic defense.
Where the hell do these actors/creative people get their lawyers or just forget their talents? These excuses are just horrible and it sucks that when it comes to the court they can change them to be better. Seriously, sometimes Justice is just messed up.
Law & Order's episode this week showed that. Justice and law is just screwed up. Yeah, sure they probably got some legal facts wrong, but it's got to be based on some accurate conception of the law. Kill two people, get 17 years and only convicted for one of the murders. Sure it happens every day!

7:42 am - Have I mentioned recently?
|
That I am very happy?
Sure, I can't stand going into work.
Sure, In could use more money.
Sure, I'm losing one of my closest friends to the state of Ohio (but I really wish the best for him and know it's the best thing for him.)\
Sure I don't see enough of my brother, but we talk almost everyday.
Sure, everything and anything could be better....
but I'm happy... really really happy and it feels so great.
And the right people know why I'm so happy...
*sigh*
I feel breathless sometimes from it... in the best way.

7:18 pm - Clone Squee... or not?
|
I'm really unsure if I am excited by this upcoming CGI cartoon or not.
I must admit I am absolutely loving the Dark Horse line right now though. I was only reading Legacy and Dark Times. Yet with the Vector storyline I'll probably be reading the whole line. I know I'm sticking Knights of the Old Republic after Vector because of how good it was and I'll probably be adding Rebellion full time as well. I kinda wish I also had a 360 so I could play The Force Unleashed when it comes out, but I did order the graphic novel adaptation at least.

10:20 am - Happy Mother's Day!
|
There are so many wonderful, beautiful, amazing women on my friend's list who are also amazing mothers, single and married. Each and everyone of you have earned my respect and I am grateful to be a part of your life and through that your children's lives, be it big or small, close or far away.
I hope your significant others and your blessed offspring bring you happiness and whatever you deserve... not just today, but everyday, because you deserve it.
*hugs and flowers and whatever else it is you wanted*
If I could I'd make you all a grand breakfast and do all your chores. One day might be enough, but it can mean the world I know.

12:19 pm - Updating FLICKR
|
It feels good to finally be throwing up a bunch of new photos on the Flickr. I was so behind that it felt neglected, but now that I've put up over 50 new shots from the street and art shows and I still have 100's to go.
Not to mention I'll soon have plenty more to post. So it's nice to get a little catch up going.

9:43 am - Good Morning Livejournal!
|
I spent my Friday away from work after waking up way late and feeling out of it. 24 hours later and I'm feeling fully refreshed and clear as a button. Between the weather and the quiet of the office, staying home and sleeping most of the day and even going to bed early was the best thing I could do.
Now I just sit here expectant for tonight.
New Spectacular Spider-Man at 10 AM.
I don't really have much to say right now. There's a million thoughts going through my head, but I'm just not sure I can translate them into written words. I'm elated and nervous and excited and unsure all at the same time. It's wonderful and scary.
Maybe more later, maybe not. We shall see.
