Things I Like

Pearls Before Swine.

I'm going to go on record and say it is the best comic strip out there right now. It is the most consistently amusing strip I've seen lately, and that's all you can ask for, really (and a difficult demand at that), in a daily strip. The only other strip that comes to mind in the "consistently amusing" category is Calvin and Hobbes. That is premiere company.


Also, the font Sylfaen. Not boring like your arials or couriers, not your everyday Times New Roman, but still classy and professional. Currently my Outlook default font (Maroon for replies). Naturally, not a Blogger font.


In a local weather update, it turns out that when you add half an inch of rain to six inches of moon dust, you get an entire region covered in a really high-quality mud. Let that dry a few days in the sun, harden almost to a clay under foot, wheel and tracked-vehicle traffic, then ad a touch more rain, and you get a lovely layer of melted peanut butter-looking slop covering the ground. That is, wherever you don't have small lake-sized pools of standing water. This is truly a magical place.
