A Prize In Every Box

This is a place for the random musings and life experiences of one Fliven, who looks for life's fun little surprises, even when its in a giant box of stale, tasteless foodstuffs.

In Blackest Night...

Tonight I go see the Green Lantern movie. SO exciting! Never mind that its less than 2 hours long, whereas Batman or Superman seem to be closer to 3 or 4. And GL has a MUCH richer history. But its going to be sweet, nonetheless! This will probably be one of the very last midnight showings (until they make a Labyrinth or Princess Bride sequel) I will do ever. And the very VERY last public appearance of the GL jersey signed by Mart Nodell (creator of GL).

Little known fact: the guy who created Green Lantern ALSO created the Pillsbury Dough-Boy. That's kinda fun...

One hour's worth of play time into the new Alice game. Its wicked sweet so far. The controls are a bit unwieldy, but perhaps I'm just not used to them yet. Time will tell. But the art is incredible. Storyline, so-so. I miss some of the old weapons, too...pepper grinder is all well and good, but I want my ice wand back! And the Blunderbuss (for when you absolutely have to kill EVERYTHING all at ONCE).

Took out all the quarter round around the edge of our kitchen last night...it was a yucky job. I have to go back in tonight and yank some of the nails that were stuck in there...as well as try and clean up where they caulked the top of them to the wall and the cabinets. How annoying is that? And I keep having issues with what the best way to start this thing is...I have a little error room, but not a lot. Plus there are some places in the room that NEED a good fit, like under the edge of the stove and the dishwasher. And then there's the potential for disaster because the metal strip that goes over the edge of the carpet is screwed down into concrete, so if I pull it out, how the heck am I going to get it back in securely? Right now I just have it bent up a little, so hopefully I can tap it back down...may need some glue or something, though.

I'm tired. And more significantly, I'm tired of being tired. I'd really love to be AWAKE for just a little while. Some days I don't even remember what that feels like. I guess midnight movies are probably not going to help that, though, huh? :)

Stay calm and carry on.
