Scientist, author and astronomer Carl Sagan would have been 75 years old today. From Hulu.com, here's the first episode of "Cosmos" : "The Shores of the Cosmic Ocean." (Here's the same episode on YouTube, if you don't care for commercials.)

A guy in Oregon called 911 to report someone had stolen his marijuana. He called back later to complain when police didn't arrive quickly enough, but it turned out he left the scene, and then he put the dispatcher on hold so that he could throw up. Why, yes, alcohol was involved... *LINK*

"This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life."

I watched a movie I got through Netflix last night. I thought it was going to be a documentary, but it turned out to be a horror movie. "The Blair Witch Project?" No... "Jesus Camp."

That was some messed up stuff.

Pub Night [Nov. 4th, 2009|01:39 pm]
Tonight at Louie's Bar & Grill in Jenks, America. See earlier post for directions. I'm shooting for 8 PM, but anybody that wants to get there early (and reserve a big table, hint hint) is free to do so. Heck, if the weather's nice, we might even see if the patio is open. See you there!

Last night's kick-off party was a big success! We had about 15 or so people, and pretty much took over the back room at IHOP. Right at midnight, we all stopped talking and started typing our stories (which got us some funny looks from the other customers). I got some good writing done, got to meet some neat people, and got to eat some mediocre food. I think the story is off to a good start.

Good swordfighting class tonight. Lots of sidesword sparring, with some longsword dueling, as well. Didn't get around to rapier bouting. Speed was pretty good, but gotta work on aim. Missed a couple of times because I was out of range. Got seriously whacked on one finger, too; that'll leave a mark. I think I'll take it easy for the rest of tonight.

Tomorrow I'm helping out at an SCA thing, and then Sunday... the madness of NaNoWriMo begins. (Dun-dun-duuunnnnnnn!)

Tonight, 8 PM... somewhere. We could have it at Louie's in Jenks, America, or get together at Fat Daddy's Pub in Paddington Square. Let the voting begin!

EDIT 4:26: Okay, looks like it'll be Fat Daddy's tonight. See you there!
