Wednesday Thoughts

• I have been drinking Dr. Pepper 10 for a while now and I still wonder why they used the Star Trek font on the bottle. It looks kinda home-made, like something I did for the show.
• I discovered today that Exxon will not let you buy more than 100.00 worth of gas on one transaction... the way things are going they are going to need to adjust that.
• This coming weekend is Comicon. I hope to rake it in!
• My friend Chris and I have created a 'paper and pencil' game to sell at Comicon. It comes complete with dice, rules, and map inside a nifty plastic case. It's called WhimWars. I got the domain name but haven't gotten anything out there yet.
• I am getting closer to having my mom's rent house finished.
• They have torn up the parking lot infront of Walmart in Decatur. I heard long ago that Panda Express was going there but the site seems awfully big for that... we will see.

Thursday Stuff

• Went to the Dallas Zoo yesterday via the TRE and DART. Panhandled no less than twice. I love Dallas!
• The TRE has an all day pass and it's pretty nice to ride. You could ride it all day and write or something like that the whole time without being bothered (too much).
• I have finally been to the Dallas Zoo... verdict... FW Zoo is better.
• Nothing better than a zoo to keep you from having kids.
• On other notes. Apple was named one of the 'least green' companies... guess who is on their board of directors... Al Gore. Te he he.
• Silver is going so high! I just don't know what's going on now. I have been selling it on EBay. That is where you can sell it and make more than silver's spot price.

The view from the TRE end station.

The Zoo's front. I found it interesting that theres actually a freeway above it.

Monday Thoughts

• So people are getting bent out of shape that DC Comic's Batman has picked a Muslim French dude to be his Crime Fighter in France. Hello?!?!?! This is a comic book. I'm not sure who to gripe at more, the writers for trying to make it too real or the fans/opponents who need to realize its a freaking comic book.
• There was a Alpha male cat battle outside last night. The old wild cat is out and a new one is now the master. This new one is better because he will let you pet him (I guess he is not that wild).
• My camera is goofed up and I can't export the video out. I will need to send it in for repairs I guess.
• This coming weekend is the toy show in Dallas I am setting up at. I hope I sell something.
• Have I ever told you EBay is a rip off? Sellers get triple dipped. They pay for inserting auctions, then they get a percent of the final price, then they get part of the payment because of PayPal (which EBay owns). For Selling a thirty dollar item I wind up paying about four dollars. When my profit is less than double that its hardly worth it.

Friday Thoughts

• The wife and I went to see Wicked Wednesday night at Fair Park in Dallas. You can read my review here.
• I just saw the Congress is trying to pass another 2,000+ bill on financial regulation...
• They admit they don't know how it will work until it's in place... sheesh!
• Why is the financial future of our whole nation (and likely the world) in the hands of people who got where they are by campaigning??? They should only be allowed to make these decisions if they are economic professors or something! It's so frustrating!
• We ate at Outback before seeing Wicked. It was the worst experience I have ever had there. I love that place and will go back. I just made sure I let them know it was bad.

Thursday Thoughts

• If you own a truck = you will be forever bugged to help people move stuff.
• Bought my wife tickets to see Phantom of the Opera in March at the Music Hall in Dallas. That drive is always such a crapper.
• The seats are tiny at the Music Hall in Fair Park.

• Have seen Phantom and Wicked there.
• Not totally sure what the big deal about musicals is. I am trying however.
• Got lost on the PC last night playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Yeah, it's old but it still rocks.
• Looked up and it was almost midnight.
• I'm really tired this morning.
• State of the Union = not interested... have never been interested. We rarely have a president that is fantastic enough to pay attention to.
• Walked out of training at work the other day. The trainer was not very good at all.
