After I wrote my post on Thursday, I finished up my comics (X-Factor 200 was fun with the Thing vs. Guido/Shatterstar fight and GLCorps undid what it did last issue too fast). I don't recall much else about the evening.
Yesterday I woke up and got stuck in traffic behind a downed power line in Easley. When I called the guy I was meeting to explain I used some harsh language like "some brain surgeon knocked down a power line" and he gave me a guilt trip ("when I'm perfect I'll start judging other people"). That reminds me of the character I met at the Taylors library on Wed. His son had just been popped for possession of MJ after being on probation. He thought I was an attorney. Anyway, we started talking and he said two things that stood out in my mind: "I wish my son could go through his life with his anus intact" and (regarding why his brother-in-law has 8 kids) "Keep it in your pants or at least make a snowstorm on her belly." Classy.
I did some work at Greenville Tech and tried to track a source down. I skipped the holiday party for my company because I am an asocial crank (and I had work to get done). I was off at 12:45 but I worked until 1:45. I read some of the Secret Warriors tpb (ok so far). Mom and I watched Year One with Jack Black and Michael Cera. It was...not very good. I laughed a couple of times but it was pretty painfully unfunny (lots of frantic mugging). Not recommended.
I then stayed up playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance on PS2. There is such a vast chasm of difference (re: quality) between Ultimate Alliance 1 and Ultimate Alliance 2 for PS2 in that UA2 sucks balls. There is nowhere near the same level of customization or detail. The character choices are kind of stupid with no costume changes. Boring. But I was up until 3am with UA1 and loving it.

12/17/09 Radio and comics
I have decided to start keeping this up again as a personal blog. I miss having a place to write so it may not always be pop culture.
A mini-black out woke me up from a dream I was having about sneaking around the house of my high school geometry teacher. She had these three daughters (in my dream) who were super hot and I was trying to spy on them. Oddly, the absence of background noise woke me up when I realized my fan had stopped blowing. I finally got back to sleep but slept in a bit to make up for it.
I didn't get out of the house until 11 but headed to Easley for a fruitless stop. I next journeyed to the post office and mailed out my Christmas packages for Eric, Diana and Susan. I drove on to Greenville Tech (where the records woman is strangely attractive to me) and on to Simpsonville. I interviewed a cool guy for about 1.5 hours and then finally got some lunch around 3:30 at Jack in the Box (not my usual steak melt but a cheeseburger). All day I was meaning to listen to the cd Eric sent me but I kept listening to Howard Stern and the XM radio that never stops broadcasting awesome. This is going to be a tough habit to break.
After another fruitless trip to Travelers Rest (read: Tigerville), I got back home at 5ish. Today I read Dark Avengers 12 (Sentry's powers are explained and, boy, is he powerful), Supergirl (Silver Banshee shows up, meh) and Thunderbolts vs. Agents of Atlas (I am glad they are keeping the AoA story alive in various other titles). There may be more later but that is it as of now.
I have been thinking about making a timeline of all my crushes and loves. It has been settling in all week that I will never have kids and I just have to kind of accept that. I had a window there and spurned it so now I have to sleep in the bed I made. More to come.
