ManifestedISO

They are definitely tough, even the little ones. She survived more than a month after the incident. The weird psychology of it is, her owner, my friend of twenty-five years, told me she 'fell'. I had known what actually happened since July. Today was a good car day. Up close and personal with a silver VW e-Golf and a black Ferrari 430.

This fall, Supergirl meets President of the United States, Lynda Carter. *faints*

Not to be a double downer, but I lost my goddaughter over the weekend, a six-year old mini red dachshund. She was tossed down the stairs by a two-year old human, compressing her spine and subsequently euthanized late Saturday. If I stop crying it will be sometime in 2017.

I wouldn't mind. She could break me, in half or in thirds, we'd still have fun carbo-loading on spaghetti and meatballs and whatever they drink in Holland.

Team sports are hard. Deep down, individuals among us wish they could compete with, and compliment others on a team level. On the other hand, watching Olympic track and field, this individual would like to compete with Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands on every level.

Never threw away a blu-ray before, not even Children of Men or Snowpiercer. Tropic Thunder is at the bottom of the recycling bin, forgotten and unloved.

Geology, man. I would give anything to watch the continents drift.

To borrow a third-person turn of phrase, we look terrible in slim jeans. Skinny jeans are a nightmare of proportion on our less-than-6', less-than-170lb frame. Upper body is much better ... grip strength is high percentile, which helps us not to cry in our sleep every night. Did you know that in Brazil, they don't distinguish between men's and women's shoe sizes, nor shame you for buying a pair of WW Havaianas, arriving Tuesday. I know I have a problem, but if this is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Treat her with compliments, kindness, and respect, see what happens.

I've noticed how, now that my hair is longer than Point Break Patrick Swayze, people react totally differently. Instead of mild bemusement or instant disinterest, females stop and gaze for close to two seconds ... even random dudes at the grocery store strike up conversation about the type of beer in my cart. Plus I get carded for everything, which is the most satisfying. Today I went to the comic shop and the grocery store. Wonder Woman #4 and Stone Brewing Delicious IPA are both on the table.

I know, but technically you're not dead until you're buried. srsly, Super G in UHD, omfg. Melissa Benoist does Christopher Reeve as well as he did.

Derrick Henry looks like he has places he is gonna go.

Have I skipped untold retellings or did I miss the critics retreat where they describe a female Jedi scavenger scum and a traitorous Stormtrooper's crisis of conscience as being utterly generic and formulaic? Not arguing, I'm just getting on in years and don't understand.

Paradox RPG survey. Pretty sure I got a perfect score. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/take-our-rpg-survey.962385/

'All is as the Force wills it' ... I think that's what he said. Could be a good foil for what I expect is Jyn's attitude. Although, if the Force has a will, Porkins would like a word.

Trying a couple new things, waiting for the Rogue One trailer ... a 'light whiskey', or 'un-aged' spirit. High West Silver Whiskey Western Oat, is the long name. No color whatsoever, which tricks your mind, but it's not harsh or unfriendly. Pretty neat sip. The other is local brewer Modern Times' Fruitlands, described as a sour tropical fruit gose beer ... sour, salty base beer with passion fruit and guava. So good I have a new favorite genre of beverage.

The day I die, I don't want Amazing Grace performed by bagpipe, I want Supergirl Season 1 Episode 2 replayed in perpetuity.

Holy moly, down by relay more than point five, anchor Ledecky wins by nearly plus two. Goddess.

Okay, I am onboard with the timeline. From TrekCore:

Supergirl, Season One blu-ray. I'm lying, I didn't watch it because Rio, but the discs are in the house.

Huh, well that is saddeningly plausible. Hopefully everything works out equally well for Bosa and Tebow. In the mean time, more importantly, a few good men and women were invited to Chargers Park today.

From what I've read, it's Bosa. He, or his management, wants it all upfront ... the team has offered two installments and won't break precedent, having never paid a player that way. The fan feeling is that free agency and the draft and the off-season were so productive, Bosa is blotting his own copybook not being here. Makes me wonder how many high-profile pre-season trades have ever happened.

Tomorrow night at 7pm PDT #ObsidianPlays will play No Man's Sky. Should be a fun preview.

RGIII starting for Cleveland ... am predicting a Dutch Renaissance in Ohio. Also, I visited a fortune-teller in Old Town and she told me Bosa's continued absence is a blessing, the jinx on a jinx preventing a remarkable 12-4 2016 season.

Dunno about the east coast, but down here, people see you drinking coffee while driving, they appreciate that you're not texting, GPSing, applying mascara, or reading.
