It’s easy enough to only buy the parts [of Flashpoint] that look interesting. If that means all of them, fine. If that means none of them, it’s really easy. If that means somewhere in between, cool.
Asides
I’m really annoyed when politicians oppose (or approve) policy based solely on *who* proposed it, not the idea itself.

Sadly, that means that most political news makes me really annoyed.
I always wonder about politicians who claim to be opposed to government.

Chewable air is a good motivator
California having the highest air pollution is why we’re so above the curve on pollution standards. Chewable air is a good motivator to do something about it.

Ugh. 2 hours on the road. No parking at the train station…or at the next train station. And traffic of doom. On the plus side, I got a parking space at work where I can actually open my car door! It's the little things…
App store for a computer? Great! As long as it never becomes the ONLY way to install software, like on the iPhone & iPad. #Apple

The app store model has been available in major Linux distributions for years, but you can always add third-party software.
GUIs for Linux’s APT & Yum are basically app stores for free software. Linspire had an actual app store back in 2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNR_(software)
Funny how many “problems” with Android vs. iPhone were also “advantages” for Windows over Mac. Diverse hardware, multiple app sources, etc.

For future reference: Jerry’s Dogs puts a bucket of peanuts at each table. It would’ve been nice to know this BEFORE I ordered lunch. I’m glad I’m not so allergic that just being in the room would send me to the ER. Eating outside, but to be safe I’m not coming back.
Pleasantly surprised by a fun adventure story with great art.
I’m enjoying it [The Flash] a lot. I really wasn’t expecting to – I’m a Wally West fan myself, so Barry Allen’s return felt forced and unnecessary. Yes, the series was broken post-Infinite Crisis, but in the words of another Geoff Johns story, just because something’s broken doesn’t mean you throw it away.
Worse, Flash: Rebirth really annoyed me on a lot of levels. I was at the point where I figured if the new series was going to be like Rebirth, I wasn’t interested in reading it. Fortunately I gave it a chance, and was pleasantly surprised by a fun adventure story with great art.
After they defeated the Adversary, I completely lost interest in Fables.
Responding to a thread about which long-running comics you’ve stopped reading.
After they defeated the Adversary, I completely lost interest in Fables. I tried to keep going. I think I read another four issues or so, about to the point where someone released the Sealed Evil In A Can, and kept buying them for a few months after that. Once I realized I wasn’t reading it anymore, I dropped it entirely.
One nice thing about The Nightmare Before Christmas is that it’s good for anytime from October through December!

On a related note, it's weird how in the space of an hour, what you want the kid to do will change from “Please stop squirming, be quiet, and go to sleep!” to “Please twitch, or snore, or something!”

J has been asleep for almost 2 hours now…in a baby chair designed for *supervised* napping. I’m tempted to try to move him to the crib, but I’m certain that would just wake him up. At least this way, he and Katie can get some sleep.
Entitlement
While I don't like giant cars taking up two spaces when they could squeeze into one, at least I understand it. But a tiny Lexus sportscar, straight down the middle? That's the definition of entitlement right there.

OK, who's the wise guy who invited an entire ant colony over to a slumber party at my place? (I like rain, but not the 6-legged visitors.)

I’m sort of tempted to let that last status sit for a while, but basically today’s the last day the route is in service.
