Beyond Impossible! (in a good way!)

Four hours and forty minutes past Ideal Time . . .

Got a quick visit from my cousin Diana this morning; it'd been a bit of a while, and it was nice seeing her again. Her big news was taking part in the NY Marathon; yes, that's her article, yes, she's a reporter for El Comercio; it's nice to have family in high places!

For all the delays today, I finished watching a really good show, and that's what matters now!

While I'm still a big fan of Evangelion, here are some things I learned from watching Gurren Lagann:

- Gainax is one of - if not the - best animation studio in the world.
- In science fiction and animation, there is no such thing as too ridiculously big.
- There is no such thing TV Trope overload.
- Uttering "Are you f'ing kidding me?!" too many times in a battle sequence is a good thing!
- With enough determination, nothing's impossible, not even beating a god!

So anyway . . . : )

Happy . . . Birthday?

Three hours past Ideal Time . . .

I forgot; I never forgot. My mother was born on this day, and I wondered why we were getting so many calls. Well, at least the day went well.

Otherwise, not much to talk about, and I just want to get to bed early . . . sleep is good, especially autumn/winter sleep . . .

Relief?

Certainly not from the heat; "only" three and a half hours past Ideal time.

Finally talked to family in Peru after quite a while (hola!), by good old phone; while there is the occasional e-mail we exchange, it seems technical problems have rendered that inconsistent. I'll admit I've been derelict in responses at times, but many times I just don't get anything, or my e-mails fail to go through. Well, that's what moments like today are for, I guess. Anyway, the occasion was Uncle Jose and Aunt Nela's birthday (twins).

37 push-ups.

A lot of time was take by a Usenet post to my oldest newsgroup (rec.arts.comics.strips); just the link, not the full post. Oh yeah, I post in newsgroups a lot; I might post links to those here more once in a while; the actual posts either wouldn't work in context, or are just too much space.

What the hell, my Usenet posts for the day . . .:

Oh yeah, this is becoming a regular feature. . .

Mother's Day '08 . . .

Yup, the big Mother's Day Brunch, five hours used up going, staying, coming back. A bit somber, as this might be the last time my grandmother gets to enjoy this alive. Grandma Cita has been battling leukemia for the last year and a half, and shows signs of having suffered a stroke. At 99 years of age, she's lived a great, long life, still; the hope is she'll make it to 100 this November . . .

Am currently watching TNA Sacrifice . . .

All this, and it's Sunday, thus Laundry Day, to boot; I find myself having to end this right now, so that's that . . .
