Speed punch.

I foolishly (?) executed a speed punch through a 1 inch pine board equivalent this evening. Unfortunately, my first punch wasn't fast enough so I ended up damaging my hand. *shrug* Oh well. I'll know better for next time. I just wish I had a picture or video of the occurrence. I'd like to study the form of my punch as well as the reaction of the board, other than breaking. Did it bend around my hand first or did it just separate at the seams? It must be time to invest in a digital video camera. ;)

In other news, my cat seems to be doing fairly well (knock on wood). He's not as "regular" as I'd like, but everything has been making it in the litter box, anyway. At the moment, he's snoozing on a small pile of unsorted papers on my desk. When he wishes, he can be extremely cute. :)

This morning, one of my roommates left for a two week trip. This is both good and bad. In theory, I will be able to accomplish a few things while this friend is elsewhere. Alas, I am now down to one roommate, thus the house is somewhat more lonely, too. *shrug* Oh well. It could be far worse on all fronts. I think I'll do my best to enjoy what is.

StarGate Atlantis premiered this evening here. This show has some serious potential as an excellent SciFi/Fantasy entertainer. I've watched a good share of the original StarGate and found the show to usually be very good. Some of them were a little fluffy for my tastes. In many cases, the SG teams were severely under powered for what they were confronting. In this one, rocket launchers are more readily used with positive effect. :) I do have a few issues as far as the "alien" races being fluent in the English tongue. After all, in the first series, they needed Dr. Jackson to translate most of the texts and a good share of the conversations, as well. In this one, everyone speaks English. :p Oh well. This one appears to be more Fantasy and less Science. Never-the-less, I still enjoyed it immensely and eagerly await the next installment. Oh, and I want one of the Atlantian ships. *heh heh heh*

I'm sure there was something else I was going to post about, but since I'm sleepy and somewhat forgetful at the moment, I think I'll finish this one and try to find out why my blog-posting interface has changed for the better. May you always get what is best for you.
