Well, since Killian is away playing, I guess it is up to me to display it for your viewing Pleasure 
I’m not positive…but is the Supreme Court displaying some sort of multiple personality disorder?

It’s been a while since I’ve gone off on a politically minded rant…a variety of reasons having contributed to this; disgust with the democrats nomination process, nothing to say about McCain that hasn’t been said before, generally trying not to pay a whole lot of attention for a while.
In any event, the supreme court had a couple rulings today.
I’m waiting for the next piece of bad news.

Today started out well enough. I’m only working through Thursday this week as Friday starts a 10 day vacation, so I was in reasonably good spirits this morning until…
I heard on the radio that George Carlin had died.
For a long time I’ve considered Carlin a hero of sorts. I’ve never had a real big desire to be a stand-up comedian. But George Carlin was one of those few performers who could accurately be described as a “wordsmith,” and as a person who also fancies himself pretty handy with the…what do you call it when you make with the words in a certain order, sentences…I’ve always greatly admired his skill with language.
New WP Phase One – Tengu!

Real Quick, here are some new WPs featuring the very first illustrious contributor to NR’s own buy me [Gilgrim] a Waccom tablet (to ensure and promote more active content updates, like webcomics and such): Tengu!
Some explanation might be in order for the copy (that’s “text” for those who don’t have to use these archaic terms on a regular basis) included in the WPs themselves. Much like other films which have been lent to Kilian to further expand his cinematic palette, someone (I don’t remember who exactly) was kind enough to lend him the entire series of Firefly. Now being that Kilian is a watcher of Buffy and the like, it would seem logical that he should fall deeply in love with what is arguably Joss Whedon’s much better property… but it is not so. Not only has Kilian not watched the whole (less than one season) box-set to my knowledge but after watching whatever amount he has (which I wager is less than 3 full ep’s) he’s come away with his decision on the show simply being, “well… meh.” This is a sad thing indeed, but it seems that Browncoat Pride is something that he can’t understand afterall.
As an additional note: these are up in the Gallery Section as well, but for whatever reason, they seem to be automatically resized into the wrong aspect ratios. I might be missing something, but the above thumbnails should allow you to find the correct size and aspect ratios in the way in which they were originally designed.
I love you all,

Contrary to popular belief, I only drank two beers yesterday…the aforementioned 9 AM beer, and then one at dinner (nothing goes so well with a BRC from Miguel’s!).
I am back at work today, having safely navigated the Southern California highways and biways in a rented Nissan Altima that starts up at the push of a button…fancy!
Thanks to everyone for the words of well wishing.

Why, you ask dear normalinauts, am I about to finish my first Stella at just after 9 AM this thursday morn? Shouldn’t I be at work?
Yes, I should.
But something happened while I was in transit to said place of employ.
That something was, for lack of a better term, a “collision” between my 98 Honda Civic and a tractor trailer.

See how long you waited? And wasn’t it worth it?! Well, WASN’T IT?!
We now believe our official readership, due to acts of most heinous unprofessionalism (read: overdue comic), has dwindle from the once grand height of six to the low, dark valley of four.
Please forgive us dear Normalinauts.
