Today, I went to the store. No big deal, right?
Wrong. I
drove to the store. For the first time in about two years. It felt good not to be tied to the bus or my bike. Normally, Safeway is well within my biking range, but it is difficult to rid with four 12 packs of Coke on your back... I'll still ride, and take VTA when I need to, but having the option of driving is very nice.

The 4400 last night. I wrote about this
a few weeks ago, and have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised at the show. The writing is tight, the acting decent, and the little girl playing Maia, the eight-year old who vanished in 1946 and came back a precog is Heather O'Rouke spooky. Looking forward to part two next week. I'm still thinking about gaming this, and leaning towards the superhero genre. One thing I like is this: when you vanished from the face of the Earth 20 years ago, and reappeared suddenly along with 4,400 other people, secret identities and flashy costumes are sort of pointless. A more gritty superhero setting, if you will.
My writing is starting to gel a little. I'm doing roughs for each world, and will expand them our later
The Giants ended the first half of the season strong, blowing out the D'backs and giving Jason Schmidt his 11 straight win. We're a half game back of the Dodgers
(spit) in the NL West. We still need a bullpen though.
There are cookies tempting me. They speak to me, these cookies do...
Looking at the want ads, I see that El Paseo Limo is hiring dispatchers again.. I applied
before, but never heard anything. So I'll try them again.
