Wednesday, May 31st, 2006Which X-Men character are you most like? You are Cyclops! You are attractive and strong, in a boy scout republican sort of way. You are set firm in your beliefs, which is not necessarily a bad thing. But often when faced with a conflicting opinion you become defensive and angry and prone to conflict. You [...]
X-cellent!
Wednesday, May 31st, 2006Callisto, Pyro, Magneto, Juggernaut, and Jean Grey Well, I finally saw X-Men: The Last Stand last night. I’d give it an appropriate review, but to be honest, they could have shown Wolverine’s claws shredding waste paper while Mystique was standing there watching him, and I’d give it an A+. That being said, I have a [...]

Day From Hell
Tuesday, May 30th, 2006Someone check to see if there’s a full moon. 6:25am – Woke up five minutes early. Still sore from Sunday’s run. That can’t be a good sign. 7:45am – Arrived at work, only to be informed the three-body burglary/stolen car arrest I spent all day working on was declined by the district attorney. According to [...]

Who Ordered The Mineral Ice Colada?
Sunday, May 28th, 2006It’s 9pm and my knees, back, and feet are killing me. Today’s first foray back into jogging did not go as smoothly as planned. And, as usual, I overdid it – trying to do the entire neighborhood loop at a full sprint. I was praying for death by the second block. Obviously, I am carrying [...]
