I’m feeling really poopy today. Must go to bed at a reasonable hour tonight because poopiness is directly correlated to tiredness.
At 11 hours, 45 minutes logged in at Evil today, I’m headed home.
Wow, hungry.
That sounded to much like an entry in Rorschach’s journal
CP: B-52′s via my phone in speaker mode because the person that called me 25 minutes ago apparently doesn’t fully grasp how to hang-up their bluetooth enabled hand-held thingy.
So I’m just jamming along in compressed mono.
Speaking of Rorschach’s journal, Kreg Steppe posted this on the FPM email thread:

Jack, that was brilliant.
As I sit with my copy of Watchmen on my computer desk, I wonder if I should take it with me to the movie on Friday and flip through as the movie progresses.
Maybe I’ll save that for DVD time.
Kurtz has his moments. I’ve met him a couple of times at comic con. I have an original sketch he did for me of Cole as “Tron Suit Guy.” LOL
Jack: LOL! That was brilliant.
Monday’s with Popeye was funny – but there’s another one (for today) with Dagwood that’s pretty damn funny.
So Jonathan Ross (a big Watchmen fan) claims in his review of the Watchmen movie that at times it’s too faithful to the comic..and what works in the comic doesn’t work on screen.
Morning Pan, feeling rough this morning..meh !
Morning, Vanamonde! That possibility had occurred to me too. I look forward to seeing how it all turns out.
And – going way back – thanks, Nomad! Did you read “Sixteen Pieces at a Time”, or listen to the excellent Wander Radio audio drama?
Thanks also for listening to the old episodes. There are lots of moments throughout Deadpan’s entire history that make me really happy.
So the grand tour of Starship Deadpan started with yesterday’s JM_D001. I am -not- going to be reading the comments though. As I was paging back to the start of time, I saw quite a few posts with over two thousand comments. Wow. I thought it was amusing and quaint that Mr. Mangan was setting such high comment goals. Now I know better.
Hey Jack, I read the “Sixteen Pieces at a Time” on … wassit SFReader? I didn’t realize Wolf had it in audio format. Is the Turk a character you’ve used elsewhere? He feels… too rich to have been used in just one story.
I have to find the most recent Wander Radio. It is somewhere on my player, but I can’t seem to find it.
Oh. Ha. I found Wander Radio 37. And Wolf mentions the audio version of “Sixteen Pieces at a Time.”
I ran into the text version because I was randomly struck with curiousity about how many pages jackmangan.com had. (I think it was 27 or 28 as of yesterday.)
I am cheating and checking now… “About this thing of ours” appears to be the original post from March 30, 2006 on (currently) page 28. The songs go back to “candlelight” posted on October 18th, 1903 …
Heh.
Today’s fittingthenationalstereotype moment:
Two French woman on the bus, chattering away in French when one of them comes out with ‘Oooh la la’.
I wonder if she had a feather duster under the coat.
Cough.
[snert]
Wait, there are stereotypes about French people? Who knew?

CP: Berlin – “Sex (I’m A …)”
Is it too early in the AM for that?
CP: Graph Theory — Engines Of Our Ingenuity (podcast)
Fun to listen to this one for me since I used to study graph theory.
DLing WanderRadio 7. Listening to Deadpan 2.
I envy your deadpan naïveté NS.
OMG. This is wrong and funny.

CP: All That Remains – “Empty Inside”
Van, I guess that’s a good thing. It’s one of the few things I have going for me.
Sad trombone or rim shot?
I too envy Nomad’s impending new adventure.
Nomad – me hopes you will post your thoughts on each Ep as you finish them … so we can relive the discovery vicariously!
here is some wrongness from “medgadget”-

CP: Sunday Afternoons — Vanessa Daou
No ZP for me this week..grrrrr!
CP: Pseudopod #122
I’m waaaay behind in my podcasts.
victim of podjam
That’s better than toe jam.
I hope that’s not like toe jam.
like a log jam …but with podcasts. Makes your iPod nearly un-navigable !
I wonder what someone overhearing me talking about the “Global Caulk Project” might be thinking…
Sorry if that last was a little “tweety.”
I’m not sure if podjam describes my situation, I’ve had so much life stuff and time off work (my primary location for listening) that I do have a big backlog.
Backpodlogjam?
That warms your Caulk-els?
I’m placing an order right now for that F-Cup pudding.
soooo many wrong places to go here, so little time.
I love the smell of phytoestrogens in the morning.
Yes, but Fido-estrogens are a bitch!
I want the last half-hour back.
I so want a new job.
I a flying dragon to come to the window of the castle tower so I can escape.
+want
Just let down your hair Cj.
CJ – have you tried tieing a note to an arrow and shooting it out the window of the tall tower? (just remember, NO singing!)
ditto – Careful with that “new job”. It may help you discover your special purpose.
I didn’t say I want any job, just a new one. And you have no idea the hell my job currently is. :(
“Message for you, sir…”
Sorry about the job stress, ditto. It’s a Skeksis-empowering environment right now.
I know. The past couple of years have been bad, but the past 6 months have been almost unbearable. Damn stress is affecting everything.
That’s freaky. Yesterday I changed my incoming txt message sound from Transformers to “Message for you, sir”.
Deadpan is in sync with my phone.
“It’s a Skeksis-empowering environment right now.”
Damn straight! Sorry about the stress, ditto. I can relate.
Yeah, sorry ditto. Didn’t mean to make light of your situation… well, okay actually I was making light of things but not to be a jerk … well, actually that was a reference from “The Jerk” but well … frak.
*hugs* ditto – and anyone else who has a soul-sucking job or just a bad day. Gosh.
Joe: I know you weren’t being a jerk. I was just whining. :)
Cj: Thanks!!
Jack – is it time to put the call out for Work horror stories, office “dumb ass boss memories” and “Duel of the Cubicle Fates” ?
*hugs* to ditto and anyone else who needs them.
24 hours and 46 minutes until I get to see Watchmen!!! (Yes, this will be my first midnight movie premiere!)
I imagine most of the Work Horror story voicemails would just be 2 minutes of weeping on the phone, but feel free to contribute, if you got em.
Or – send Wok Horror stories, about trauma in Chinese food restaurants.
Believe it or not, I have a Wok horror story – it’s buried in a loooong past episode of “Wingin It.”
Anybody remember it?
