Staring in disbelief out at the gloom
I was forced with remorse to learn the.. harmonica.
Ordered a proper 10 hole one today instead of those freaky 16 hole ones. It also should be in a better key for playing my blues. I gotta let that pain out.

On predictive typing
Snoring and pooping have the same keystroke pattern via predictive typing. The same predictive typing that somehow has 'freakhog' as a word in the place of 'freaking'.

Advanced and evil methods of Christmas counter-espionage
Method #64 - Never buy anybody a single thing they ask for. You will become a man of mystery and advanced espionage techniques largely fail due to added magnitude of disinformation.
Advanced and evil methods of Christmas espionage.
Method #17 - Keep threatening to buy different things. You will likely touch a nerve if you guess well, causing your mark to give up their information.

This morning I had the privilege of having my car frozen in place. I parked it on Saturday and there must have been some give to the snow and ice, then. So it all froze around my tires and I couldn't move a single inch. I felt like one of the monkeys from the start of 2001, pacing around the car, swinging my shovel at things, screaming at things I don't understand but that are rewriting my DNA. It doesn't help that it was -3F, -20 or worse windchill. I give up, looking at the car, debating calling in to work or not. I pull my scarf up over my face and make my way to CVS. All of their salt is only rated down to zero degrees. NO HELP THERE! Luckily they had some expensive stuff that creates an exothermic reaction and works down to -32F. I trudge back, use my shovel to apply liberally around the tires, and a few minutes later I can move. Too bad there's still a million ridges of ice as high as my car in the spot and alley. So I had to rock the hell out of the car to get out anyway.. But I'm here at work and all my morning printing is queued up. Sigh.

Gridlock Affective Disorder - GAD
Lack of willingness to deal with the world after two or more hours of dealing with stop and go traffic. Recommended action? Private helicopter in future.
Now introducing the ennui cheerleading squad.
There is a special kind of despair and depression that sets in after travelling for 5 miles an hour for any extended period of time. It's happened before and thankfully I can at least identify that. But it takes me days to get out of this commute hell funk.

Justice League - Grant Morrison
I have finally succumbed to the siren song of Grant Morrison. Read the first arc of his JLA run and I remember why I never read it before. This art is really ass. Everybody looks like they're puppets carved out of wood. The story, however, is lightning fast and gets shit done. I'm interested to see where he goes with this after stretching his legs.
Really this is just a proxy until Batman R.I.P. is out in hardcover and I can read it in one go.
