[Error: unknown template qotd]Werewolves, by a huge margin. No comparison, really. They're less fearsome and tend to be less sinister - can be aware of their situation, and stories generally have them doing something about it. Tracking their transformation cycle, seeking a cure and at the very least locking themselves in a room or cage in the hope that they don't hurt anyone else. (either by devouring them, or worse, spreading the infection / curse) Almost a version of the Hulk.

When I think of Vampires, I think of evil, soulless and ugly predators, draining people of lifeblood and spirit at the same time, rather than the"Tormented Soul fighting an addiction" sort. My mindset sees them as incurable and dangerous - never actually loving anyone, but rather preying on those who are weak or in need. Abominations before man and his god(s), just cruel, cold mockeries of what a feeling and loving person could be.

Supper at La Tolteca tonight... not so great. Flavorless beans, lackluster chips and salsa... enchiladas were blah. The Potato & Onion Burrito was pretty good, as were the spinach-veggie thingies, but it was a no go. The decor of Meso-American Indians performing sacrifices had far more flavor than the food.

It was beautiful, foggy morning on the way to the train station. (not my image, but cool, nonetheless). Lots of mist hanging, especially over the water.

Saw Fantastic Four - Silver Surfer after work with BHK, and it was a fun little bit of entertainment.

Cool! The DC Train maps are now on google!(via dcist)

We're not going to Salem this weekend. Instead, I think we're just going to cool our collective jets, and regroup a bit.

I've been watching season 6 of The Shield on my commute to and from work lately... and the writing is still quite good. I think the child molester subplot was a bit transparent, but aside from that, it has been interesting seeing what's going on with Vic's crew. It sounds like they're already wrapping up season seven, now, even though the sixth was supposed to be the final one.

After I whittle that one down my travel show is going to be The Riches, I think. Never did catch up with that on the Tivo upstairs, and BHK seems to have lost interest.

Positive thing about summer. Local corn. The best I've ever had, anywhere. Seriously, it's amazing.

I'm really loving the local corn crop.

By the way, to my anonymous commenter: Not everyone in the world is racist. Not everyone in the world is sexist. "All [insert skin color / gender / geographic point of origin / religious belief / sexual preference / whatever here] stick together" is untrue. Sure, there are a lot of 'em, but humans lack cooperation on that level. Not to say that *a lot* might. Special interest groups, Armies, and the like. If you could get *any* group of people of that size to really work together, the world would be a different place - and probably a scary one, since I don't tend to agree with any one group's agenda.

Atheists can cuss by taking someone else's lord's name in vain. It's not like snarling "Random Chance!" or "Darwin!" is nearly as good as Jesus Christ come to think of it... blurting "Vishnu", "Zeus" or "Zoroaster" is sort of dorky sounding too. David and Abraham are in too much usage to be any good, either. Solomon?

Maybe I'll just stick to Comic Book / Cartoon Exclamations... Merciful Rao! Sufferin' Sappho/Succotash! Leapin' Lizards! Sweet Christmas! Good Grief! Great Hera! By Crom!

I am guilty of saying "My Stars" - not due to Henry McCoy, but Samantha Stevens.

By the Vishanti is too cumbersome. Imperious Rex is just dopey. Dumber than saying Spoooon! in fact.

I do like to say Zoroaster, though. It's a fun name. Zoroaster. Say it with me, dear journal. Zoroaster. Zarathustra, in the native.

If we were to ever get a gray kitten, I'd like to name him Zoroaster. (That is not to say that we're getting a
gray kitten any time soon.)

Regarding this article about faith and democratic candidates ... I can't get the phrase "Pillory Hillary" out of my head.

GeotargetCool Icon of the moment - if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate



Worked Late both Tuesday and Wednesday...I'm hoping that I can but out a bit early today or ideally tomorrow, maybe to give me time to pick up big brain if it's all better by then.



Well, this might calm down some holier than thou Mozilla preachers out there (don't get me wrong, I surely prefer firefox over MSIE - but anytime somethinggets a new feature, some clown will find a way to clog the pipes.) Problematic enough that Livejournal is reformatting how page URLs are laid out. Added Kudos to LJ_maint for being about as vague as possible regarding this issue in the meantime. [update - news clarifies things a bit better here. ]



My suspicions about Lost seem to be coming to light -
From Damon Lindelof (one of the creators of the show) - "If you're watching the show because you're waiting for the big answers to come, you have to understand that by the nature of what it is -- it's not a movie, it's not a series of movies, it's not a trilogy, it's not a miniseries -- it's going to be on the air for as long as ABC wants to keep it on the air...how can you ever possibly think that Lost will end in a satisfying way? Carlton (the other co creator) and I can almost guarantee you that it will not."
That said, I still dug the Mr. Eko/Charlie/Island Monster Episode enough to follow along. I just won't plan for it all to come together in any good way when the show ends... I'll just toss it in the box with X-files, Twin Peaks, and the rest. Like those, when it turns to poop, I'll stop watching, until someone recommends a particular episode. Heck, I'd already resigned myself to that anyhow.

It's the little things that make me happy...

T-Rex and family harvesting blood for Dracula.

Voice Balloon Reads - "OH.. CRAP!"


I mean, really. How can people not take comics seriously as an art form?
