Well, my flight is apparently now cancelled. Their other Dallas flight isn't so I am on eternal hold to see if I can get on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WTF?

Seriously.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sinatra song believed to be a karaoke curse in the Philippines

Karaoke fanatics in the Philippines have been avoiding the song My Way because they believe it is cursed. "You can get killed," one patron, who has witnessed numerous fights at his favorite karaoke bar, told the NY Times. Several establishments have removed the Sinatra fave from their song list.

Snow dalek attacks!

Mary Robinette Kowal sez, "Neil Clarke, editor of the Hugo nominated Clarkesworld Magazine, was slain on his front lawn by a snow dalek, while his young son watched. We are deeply saddened by his loss and suggest that people living in the path of the coming Snowpocalypse beware that it is merely a cover for a Dalek invasion."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Lego steampunk "Voyage to the Moon" model

The 1902 French movie Le Voyage dans la lune provided one of most indelible science fiction images ever: the grimacing Man on the Moon with giant bullet-like space capsule in his eye. Guy Himber's excellent Lego steampunk adaptation evokes the same feel with panache. I love the barrel as the exhaust port! The sculpture won the award for 'Best Art' at the 2009 BrickCon Lego convention.

Crap. I don't think I can make my trip.

Which sucks since I used my own credit card to Hotwire my car which means that I had to pay the $200 bucks up front. I had planned to have my company reimburse me for the Dallas portion.
