My internet connection is acting kind of flaky. Actually the connection is fine, but it isn't talking to some content delivery network, so all the small-time websites load perfectly, but Facebook takes 20 minutes to load a 16×16 “share link” button, and I have yet to see more than the title on PayPal. *grumble*

Weird. I just read a comment where someone claimed that conservatives hate liberals for their “no reasonable person can disagree with me attitude.” In my experience, it's at least as likely to be the other way around.

WTF? 4-day passes have ACTUALLY SOLD OUT already! I was starting to think December maybe, but the first week of November? I'm glad we finally bought ours a few days ago!

Dark One’s Roast

A couple of nights ago, I dreamed I was Rand, inspecting a military camp and learning that the Dark One’s touch had destroyed all the coffee. ALL the coffee. And I/Rand immediately decided, “That’s it! We’re ending this NOW! Last Battle, here we come!”

4-Day passes with preview night have sold out.

4-Day passes *with* preview night have sold out. Annoyingly, there’s no indication of how many 4-day passes *without* preview night are available, or what the percentage was, or anything at all to gauge whether the remaining memberships are likely to sell out next spring or next week.

How dare the big bad librarians silence those parents’ attempts to silence ideas that they don’t like! (Grr.)

Holy crud, they actually shut down the 101 and shot that 500-car pileup?

Why FlashFoward creators embrace Lost comparison

Holy crud, they actually shut down the 101 and *shot* that 500-car pileup? No wonder it looked so impressive on the screen at Comic-Con!

(I think I’ve mentioned I’m *really* looking forward to this show. I wish they’d come up with a new promotional still, though. There’s this picture and the cast photo.)

I remember waiting in line for the Haunted Mansion one time in the mid-1990s with Shawn and maybe a few other friends, and there was this one guy who took the fun/creepy vibe seriously and really went beyond the “Yeah, yeah, dead center of the room” take. His name was Maynard, and he really set the right tone for the ride. Stumbled on a picture of him at Flickr – he’s still at Disneyland – then did some searching and discovered he’s got a following!

Need last-minute tickets to San Diego Comic-Con?

Need last-minute tickets to San Diego Comic-Con? The show sold out weeks ago, but the con is re-selling canceled memberships on eBay. They’re going FAST, within minutes of each auction going up, so your best bet seems to be to follow their updates on Twitter to find out when a new auction goes up.
