Are you really the head of the the Quikie-Mart?

Really? For sure?

Found Degrassi Junior High episodes posted on Youtube. It is nice to see something from fond memories that can quickly bring a silly smile to your face. Remembering too that the cast is around my age now makes it easier too. Made me do some searching about the cast. For example, apparently the girl who played Stephanie Kaye is now a great jazz musician (without even playing a grandfather on the Cosby show!), and that Joey Jeremiah guy will never reprise the role again (on the latest version of the show. Too bad, that Caitlin chick was still kinda cute in her thirties.)

The Least I Could Do strip seems to finally be returning to its roots as they have returned to a more sleazy tone this week. Gotta love it. I haven't read much of Dork Tower this week but I will change that as soon as I finish this.

My son is throwing balls around the house right now. He just almost hit me in the head as the ball hit my shoulder behind me. Imagine when he gets some accuracy and velocity...hmmm maybe I can use this as an opportunity to teach him about parabolic curves (and the change in velocity, both magnitude and direction...wait, this sounds like a super-villain from Despicable Me. Wasn't that a funny movie? I know I really enjoyed it. Now if Steve Carrell would make the 45-year old divorced guy who has ever only slept with one chick ever movie, we'd be set. I mean Zack and Mirri was the continuation of the Seth Rogan-Elizabeth Banks romance from the 40-year old virgin, right?)

I read a Real Life Comics strip earlier this week that compared the Daily Show to Saturday Night Live. (He compared the Stephen Colbert - Steve Carrell era to the Belushi-Chase-Akyroyd era of SNL). I had really never thought of things in those terms before, but I can see why the comparison was made.

I am now in the seventh book of the Wheel of Time, in preparation of my purchase and reading of Book 12. I really can't tell if Robert Jordan meant Aes Sedai to be the best of what people can be or the worst, or of some combination of both. His characterizations though of women are all complex and men are all simple could have balanced better. I find it hard to tell if he was trying to make them the same as the Bene Gesserit of the Dune series. (I think these were written first, maybe I should check Wikipedia)

Anyways, son is hungry...
