Yesterday was strange.

Long conversations with Dennis, yesterday, about the state of the departments, the direction of philosophy and religious studies, in general. Good talks.

But then I tried to go home. With the electrical problems on MARTA, and the stopping at stations that weren't mine, and the full-as-Hell (which is to say seemingly-infinitely-full) trains that followed. Standing on the platform, reading Kingdom Come (had an argument with lord_of_smoking about the nature of the Superman character, and that kind of talk always makes me want to re-read that series), and one of the people there telling me that he had the Exact Book in his bag. We started talking about comics, and then MARTA announced that due to an emergency at Decatur Station, the train service was discontinued.

So I walked to Inman Park station (about a mile, maybe a little more), and by that point train service had resumed, and I'd been passed by two trains. So took the train, one more station, to my car. Then Pizza, then Home.

A strange day.

How are you, today?

Who knows enough Freench to write a Cease-And-Desist?

Oh, hey, that fucking sucks.

So. Remember my Tire Adventure, of a week and one day ago? The one that, oddly enough will be pushed off of my front page by this post?

Well here's an interesting little side-effect, of that interesting little adventure: My Right Front Wheel Bearing Seems To Be Deteriorating.

Isn't that a Hoot?

Best part? Guess the cost. Go on, try to guess. No? FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY DOLLARS. For ONE. But my mother owes me $200, so that's a little less than half of it. If you ever wanted to just hand me money, for everything I've done for you, now would be the time.

So. That was my afternoon, wasn't it?

Yeah it was.

In other depressing news, Today marks the 50th anniversary of Laika's Flight into Space.

Good bye, little space dog... Yes. Tori.

I'm out.

This is why I'm going to play this game, now.
