Just a reminder that we are on for Sunday’s game.

2-ish. (hear that, Manor-mates? TWO-ish.) :)

No gumbo this time, so we’ll have to figure something else out!

We’re back at home, after spending an afternoon at ‘s parents’ “Show The American Holiday To Our Foreign Visitors” festival.

No huge family gathering (for which I am somewhat thankful), and given that, as is the tradition of her parents in such years, they invited people from the University to share the meal with us and give them a glimpse into “traditional American culture” (or what passes for it.)

As noted, at least this year they didn’t invite people from opposed cultures (apparently one year it was a Taiwanese student and a professor visiting from Mainland China). No, it was a professor and his wife, visiting from Norway. It was pleasant….ish. (As pleasant as sharing a family holiday with strangers can be, I suppose)

Denied the opportunity of cooking a Thanksgiving meal, I will instead be doing ours tomorrow….this house WILL smell of roast turkey, damn it! There WILL be left-overs!

…which, naturally, leaves the question of what we’re having for dinner tonight. Feh. Dunno.

DC comics is launching a new WARLORD series in February.

Unfortunately, it won’t be Mike Grell. The series will be written by Bruce Jones (VIGILANTE, YEAR ONE: BATMAN/SCARECROW) and drawn by Bart Sears (JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL). Check out some sample pages.

Not too bad, but I’ll miss Grell’s work:

‘Course, I’m sure I’ll pick it up anyway.
