Enemy of Entropy

We lost another great writer and thinker today. CNN seems to be updating their story on his death by the minute. There’s no controversy, but from the first version or two you’d think the only thing the man had ever done of note was co-write the screenplay for 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I know that he came up with more than just the idea of communications satellites, but at this very moment I can’t remember his other non-fiction contributions to the world. I’m sad, but 90 years is a good, long run.

Nope, not Sunday. Mostly. Well, maybe sometimes. Damned earworm!

I was trying to be Very, Very good today as I wrapped up my assignments for the semester. Unfortunately, I got completely distracted by the fact that I hadn’t done a bloody thing with Pagan Parents since adopting the site. I got it working at a minimal level, so it should be easy to add content now.

Hint Hint: Content! I need content! Collaborators! Seriously, if you have opinions about parenting as a pagan, or you know of resources that I should link to, please let me know. If you know somebody who might want to write an article or blog with us there, have him or her contact me.

Anybody going to MomoCon here in Atlanta? I’d never heard of it before today. It’s free, and may be in its second year (I’m not sure). It seems quite small, which could be nice. It’s local, which is a big plus for us. I’m unclear as to whether there’s any gaming happening or not, and there’s no mention of filking that I can see.

We’ve watched so many movies in the last few weeks that they’re all running together. We just finished The Transformers. Yesterday was Babylon 5: A Call to Arms (we’d seen that before, of course) and Catch Me If You Can. Some day before that was Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban as well as Goblet of Fire. Sam watched Order of the Phoenix, but I haven’t seen it yet. He also watched Gods and Generals, but I couldn’t even pretend to be interested, and the accents were too offensive to my ears. There’s been at least one season, maybe more, of West Wing. We’ve still got Stardust and some other stuff that Sam rented. My brain is exploding and I can’t remember the rest, but I know there was more.

And what do I want to watch? Firefly. Which I can’t see, because Sam’s parents have our Firefly DVDs. Including Serenity. Bah.

Sam really, really loves movies. Can you tell? I love my man. I wish he had a movie-viewing buddy nearby so he could see stuff in the actual theater.

Sam’s last day off is tomorrow. It’s been so good to have him home! I’m terribly spoiled all the time, but more than a week with him at home has been absolutely incredible.

Disparate thoughts from a very low energy day. In fact, it was so low-energy that I thought I posted this entry last night, and never did.

I has a fever. Do Not Want. Blah. Can’t brain. Short attention span means you just get links and such. Good links, but links.
