I... Am... That... HERO!!

Finally the 'stressful' extra-long week ended. (I got 4 extra days added to it) And I can finally crash and sleep longer than 7 AM.

The week was good. We had newcomers, visitors, and all manner of strangeness going on.

Speaking of strangeness, I was helping Katia fix her computer the other day, when she told me that her and Vix (My lovable, and extreeeeeeeeemly understanding boss (You are reading this right?) were discussing me.
I was disturbed to say the least, and was hoping that it wasn't anything bad, till she told me that they thought I was charming. Feeling rather good of myself after that, I continued setting up her laptop, as she sat beside me. Suddenly out of the blue she blurted out... "You look like the young version of that old actor. Clark Gable."



Anyways, after being thoroughly appalled at being compared to an early 1900's movie star, she went on to add the following...
"You know who else you look like?" By that time I was already foaming at the mouth, thinking of all the people who she could compare me too. "That old superman actor what is his name??" Someone in the office politely (while unsuccesfully holding in their laughter) called out. "Christopher Reeve?"
At that point I had been officially brain dead for almost a full minute. But the name awakened within me previously supressed memories. And I came to the full realization of what was my destiny.


To infinity and beyond!!!
No no! That is not it. Ah yes...
Up, up and away! *insert sound effect here* Whooosh!!!!





Since I have discovered my new calling in life, things have never been the same again.

Of course all of this falls perfectly under my plan for world domination.

It is hard living the life of a super-hero, the late nights, the millions of people saved who didn't even know it. And because of that, I haven't made any tests of my new found super-powers.

Time stands still for no one, even a super-hero. And so I must be off.

I will fill you all in next time on my trial of my super-powers.
I am going to jump off the tallest building I can find. (If I can find the bus money to get there of course)

Farewell. May good always triumph!

And may the forces of evil wither away as the leaves wither away in fall. And may... etc. etc.

Rio, back, and Rio again!!

I barely came back from Rio and now I am going back. Oh the joy. (The best thing about it is that I am getting a ride. YAY!!)

Anyways, vacations was good. Was able to spend 'quality' time with both Rashid and mareeyan. Which in itself means LOTS of funny moments. The 'Eureka' one does deserve a post in itself when I find the time. Yes, time is a problem. Free time that is.

The parties were fun. Lots of beer at the first one, and lots of dancing, and 'provisioned' beer at the second. *snicker* Good stuff.

Got to see some old friends, make some new ones, and catch up on the beach. (Didn't get burned this time) Lets see if I can get a decent burn this time around, provided it isn't raining. *scowl*

Bleble and Nan both introduced me to Akon's 'Mr. Lonely'. I laughed when I heard it. The little chipmunk voice is too much. Apparantly it is the all the rage here in ye old SP as well. (According to my sources)

Hopefully the trip back to Rio will be uneventful, being that my ride leaves at 4 in the morning or so. Hmm.

Signing out...
