OK, all you losers who own the Spider-Man Movie Trilogy, Heroes Season One, and that hilariously ironic Adam West Batman t-shirt: time to man up and sample pop culture at the head of the stream, rather than simply sip at the processed dregs at the end of the line. It's too late to declare yourself "into" Iron Man and retain any credibility, so get down to FREE COMIC BOOK DAY and see how the cooler half lives. And buy something too, you damn cheapskate.

I've found another game I want to demo at Origins.

And it's Yetisburg, a North vs South card game that adds giant Canadian Yetis to the Battle of Gettysburg. If your demo can't get me to buy the game even after hearing that concept, then it must be complete unplayable shit.

We might be getting Cat #3.

A pregnant stray showed up at my parents' place, and gave birth to a litter of six. Several of the kittens are polydactyl, which means they have extra toes.

RAM upgrade smoothed me out.

After jumping my iMac's RAM from the stock 512 to a matched-pair 2gig (for the low price of $55), I've noticed an impressive performance boost. It's not like I'm crunching incredible Photoshop filters here- and this is not a gaming machine at all - but the 2gig has allowed me to float from Safari to Photoshop to iPhoto to Fetch without all the slowdown and churning that had formerly been SOP.

I'm pooping Gatorade.

I'm enjoying a colonoscopy tomorrow, so today was the highly anticipated bowel prep. I could only have a light breakfast (english muffins) and then nothing but clear liquids past noon. At three I had to start drinking 64 ounces of polyethylene glycol and electrolytes, a potent mixture designed to irrigate the various tracts without dehydrating the system.

I was allowed to mix the stuff with Gatorade, which made it taste like Gatorade... but with a nasty, unexpected thickness to it, which made it rather unbearable after only three glasses. I was done with the 64oz by 5pm. And now all that comes out is Gatorade. And I'm really freakin' hungry. I need to start planning my Welcome Back meal now, because I am going to be ravenous as soon as my 1pm scoping is completed.

The next time you have a colonoscopy planned, why not also enjoy GTA IV and Mario Kart Wii.

I'm picking up both on my way to the hospital. Hopefully I'll be feeling like some GTA by late afternoon.
