It snowed sometime overnight, maybe 2 inches. There either has been or will be some freezing rain, supposedly. I fear driving in this kind of weather like mice fear the sky. Hopefully I won't have to go anywhere today, though. Although staying inside all day feels a little weird annd sometimes leaves me cranky Monday morning. Some hermit.

I have been watching The Mothman's Photographer this afternoon. This of course led to some Google searches for Mothman, and reading the wikipedia entry. Probably the best thing though is the Mothman cometh.

I need to know a good free program to use on a modern Mac to use to make LiveJournal (etc.) icons. Anyone know? Resizing and cropping and such. I am a simple man. Who steals images.

Comics recently. Got the SPX 2005 anthology. Haven't read it all yet, looked pretty exciting though. Would like to see more Vinh Ngo. Also got The Secret Voice yesterday. That was OK. And also not so long ago got ahold of the latest BPRD (where is that going), Palooka-Ville (depressing), Futurama, and a couple of the Seven Soldiers comics. I liked the Frankenstein one a lot.

But the experiment had unforseen consequences. "Kellogg really thought of this as an experiment on the chimpanzee. In actual fact it became equally an experiment on his son. Particularly in the way in which the son was picking up or not picking up language." Rather than learning words Donald was learning the barks and yelps of a chimpanzee. Horrified, Kellogg called off the experiment.'
