What you did today
One year of freedom. I should be happy, and I am, relieved to have back an acute sense of smell and to smell good, but the regret having smoked cigarettes at all nips the joy a bit. Still, feels really good.

What's on the idiot box Part 4 (or something)
I thought this show would be hum-drum. I assumed it would rely on speculation, presumption, aggrandize the premise a bit. Instead I was riveted, then marveled how modern humans fit their helmeted bodies into seven-inch spaces underground, discovering a brand new Homo species, two million years past. A two-million year old graveyard. http://www.kpbs.org/news/2015/sep/11/nova-dawn-humanity/

An English thing
I've always enjoyed the fringe ambiguity of the s'. Not "pluses," or "plusses,", but plus'. Or maybe pluii. I don't mean ambiguous, it's possessive ... I meant rare and sometimes confusing, the s'. Not confusing, I don't know what I'm saying.

What's on the idiot box Part 4 (or something)
Little bit broken up after the newly Lieutenant Ro has a change of heart ... she chooses solidarity in kind over Picard's trust. The Maquis become a fast family, during a secret mission, despite Jean-Luc's profound deference to Ro's past and immediate plight. Still, even though she swears on her duty as an officer ... Episode 176, 'Preemptive Strike', TNG, final regular series episode, directed by Patrick Stewart. Series finale next ... gonna need more New Belgium--a type of ale not available in ten-forward.

What you've been drinking lately.
Sorry to self-quote, but can now confirm retailer integrity ... I've had birthday presents wrapped with less love than the items We Love Fine shipped. Beer glass was bubble-wrapped inside-out, sealed in its own cardboard box, surrounded by foam pellets inside the main box, which is plain cardboard on the outside, contest-winning art design within the cigar-style opener. Not my style, but a nice touch. And the branded tissue paper. Presentation does matter. All this for a glass and a couple shirts. I'm drinking the last of the New Belgium twelve. Seriously astonishingly tasty. Those employee-owners in Fort Collins know how to brew. I hope they don't sell out, like local brewer Saint Archer did, to Coors.

Three-hour season finale of Ninja Warrior tonight. Gonna need a lot more beef jerky. Actually BB-8 should be here any minute, so I might have to divide my attention. Colbert is a can't-miss, though, loving that.

What you did today
Fixed a toilet like a champion. Refill valve unit failed ... wouldn't stop filling the tank, so, I replaced it with a new refill valve unit ... now it's quieter, faster, uses less water. I'm pretty much a certified plumber now, so, if you need something repaired or whatever, give me a call.

What you did today
Not that Bleu isn't doing it for me ... it is ... I just think Chanel and Dior for men look good next to each other in the cabinet. I saw this today and now I might have to have it, unless the citrus emphasis leans too flowery ... lavender is unacceptable in any form. I'll stop by the counter and confirm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PTkwZ1p0DI *Counter confirmation edit: okay, better than okay, no lavender, no pretension. Dior Sauvage exceeds the allure of an Audi R8 V-10 in the garage.

NFL 2015 Season
Fail. Fox Sports, you fail ... flamingos for a fluff shot of the local area ... there are no flamingos in the San Diego area, nor any within two thousand miles. * er, I mean, unless you visit the Zoo, where there are plenty of flamingos. I'll just go drink my medicine now. http://zoo.sandiegozoo.org/animals/flamingo

What you did today
'hood's going to pot ... individual successfully impersonates a compete idiot by hitting-and-running a fire hydrant next to the Starbucks across from my grocery store--spurting water 40' in the air, landing mostly above an optometry business, collapsing the roof and flooding the area ... and now, the mall two miles away where I buy comics, evacuated for suspicious device. I think I'll stay home, watch some football tomorrow, mind my own business. *factual edit: 50'-70' in the air, 1,000 gallons per minute, according to FD.

Update 100: The White March - Part I
Hooray, garment arrival day--all the way from Sweden. I thought DRKN was in LA for some reason, but no, the country of origin is Sweden, then Germany, then my house. Quality is a kind I've never experienced before. I took a picture but it doesn't do the garments justice. My favorite bit is the sleeve tag and the black mini-safety pin clasped through the sizing loop-tag, holding the black string attached to the retail card. Well, and the art ... the prints come across superbly. For such an international item, the price is quite reasonable. Made in Turkey.

Installed Windows 10
How long does this take ... it's been almost two hours of logo only. Also, first post from phone, weird, small, I don't love it. It's like textng but clusmier. Treble clef edit: now three hours ... not sure what I did wrong, I mean I had a BBQ BK sandwhich again today, crispy chcken with bacon, but now instead of meat sweats, I'm suffering New OS Download Anxiety jitters ... closely related. Also the stove top bame back to life, thanks for assking. Yeah mobile poasting ... boo quadruple axel edit: four hours and the same black splash screen with logo, no HD activity light, no love, just the blinking Home button on the 360 controller. Not even Brian Boitano and his dulcet tones could make me think this is supposed to happen. At least Colbert turned out well, Scarlett on tonight. Hard reboot. Reset ignored, power button ignored. Press and hold, finally. Update Failed. Great job, thanks.
