Did I call a time out after my stupid son blew up the Death Star? Hell no! I took the boys to Hoth..

Darth Vader's Twitter is so much fun! :-)

Nothing much happened today. Mostly posting to let everyone know I'm still alive. The Red Tide hasn't claimed me as of yet. I just hope it doesn't come ashore when I'm at a friends wedding next weekend. Blargh!

At work I spent the majority of the day entering in Flu Clinic charges. Ahh, yes. The flu season is upon us... what fun. Eh, it kept me busy. I left at 5:00 even though I finished my work a few hours beforehand. So I'm not short by all that many hours.

Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to finally play the video game I bought a couple of weeks ago. Yes, I caved and bought The Force Unleashed. I know rurouni_jedi had mixed feelings regarding it, but it looks like it'd still be a lot of fun to play in the meantime. Besides, I look forward to swinging my "lightsaber" around. And, according to Amazon, you can buy an attachment that looks like a lightsaber for your Wii-mote.

And finally, for motivation to clean your house more often, read about the Collyer Brothers.

Today in History: 1933
"News-Week" appeared on the corner newsstand for the first time. Seven pictures graced the magazine’s first cover, depicting an important happening for each day of the week. In 1937, the publication’s masthead sported a new name: "Newsweek".

That Collyer Brothers article was really creepy. *shudders* I feel the need to clean my dorm room like right now.

Scarily enough, I knew someone like that: My great-grandmother on my father's side. She had three TV's. When one stopped working, she'd just stack another one on top of it and so forth. I hate to think how many piles of magazines and newspapers she had. It was pretty sad.

Pfft, I can beat that. My great-uncle on my mother's side has a spare house that he can't bring himself get rid of and the roof leaks and it's filled with all kinds of useless crap.

Damn. Just... damn.


And you did not just link a trope. I get sucked into that place enough as it is. What do you think I do over my lunchtime while I'm at work?! It's hard enough to tear myself away...

Gah.

I figured that a link to I Am Not Making This Up would confirm that I am not, in fact, making that up--in case there was any doubt. IANMTU is a sacred trust.

When I first discovered TV Tropes, I'd stay up until 4 in the morning browsing it....

I don't remember how late I was when I first came across it. I might've had to force myself to go to bed early due to work...

When I browse it over lunch, I have to remember I have a limited amount of time for lunch and close it, otherwise I'd never get any work done...

I actually have wanted to comment in a few spots too.
