I spent the whole day away from my computer, and oddly I’m not in the mood to sit at it anymore.
I went to ComicCon in New York. For “professional” reasons, of course. It was fun, although it sucks that my trips down tend to be day trips to attend one-day events (or wait …
GOALIE FIGHT. The good stuff is about five minutes in. Lindy Ruff is awesome. The Sabres are my team, since one of their players is my age and from my hometown. Even if he left our high school to go into the OHL.

Jim “The Hammer” Shapiro of Rochester, NY, managed it. It seems like these commercials have been on TV for most of my life.
My roommate is currently sick and felt like having some soup, and I had some leeks in the fridge that needed to go somewhere, so for dinner today we had potato-leek soup. I think I got the recipe down, finally. I might try adding a handful of carrots for color and variety next time.
