It's Sunday, perfect day to post a completely useless irrelevant entry that no one will read because it's random and boring.
What did I learn this weekend..
1. Don't stop at a red light with the window down. Apparently it's now a hip new way to pick up women. Requirements: driving a seedy looking bmw and predictable pick up lines. Examples: "You have pretty eyes.", "I don't see a ring on the left hand, what's on the right". Expected result: a vaguely amused out-of-towner who will later post it as an anecdote in her weblog.
2. Neil Gaiman's Sandman series is very addicting. Thanks a lot Tom for making me addicted to comic books, like I wasn't geeky enough yet.
3. Lots of people hate Microsoft, many of them start websites like this one.

Re item #1: no kidding. It must suck to find out that random people find you attractive.
#Sandman is great. I have the whole thing. The Death Mini-series is very good as well. I should buy the compilation, so that i can actually read them. I'm afraid to touch any of my comics, since i haven't done so several years.
#Check out Gaiman's Good Omens and American Gods, two of his non-comic works. He also keeps a good blog at www.neilgaiman.com.
#next to Alan Moore's Watchmen and maybe Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, Gaiman's Season of Mists story arc in Sandman is one of the greatest comics I have ever read.
