Well, back in Montreal. Mom’s oxygen levels were low so she was admitted to emergency. She’s better, but they want to keep her for a few more days. I got in yesterday and spent the night at the hospital, got back to my mother’s place for 10:30 a.m., tried to nap only to have the neighbors swing by to pick up the dogs, so I took the opportunity to grab an early lunch before they came back. Once the dogs returned, I tried to nap again only to be interrupted once again, this time by a phone call, message, and an incessant beep from the answering machine. I tried to get back to napping and found myself exhausted but unable to sleep, so have decided to update this blog before heading outside to move some of the carport furniture indoors before it gets REALLY REALLY REALLY cold (as opposed to the just REALLY REALLY cold of today).
Before leaving, I decided to treat myself to an early Christmas gift. Actually, several early Christmas gifts…
Clockwise from left corner: Owl Man, Count Nefaria, Tombstone, and WEF’s Klaus Schwab. It’s been a while since I’ve added to my supervillain action figure collection (which now must number upwards of 500). Nothing quite matches the thrill of seeking out and purchasing these bad boys (and girls). But buying them is like eating chocolate-covered almonds. Once you have one or four… Anyway, not long after I landed in Montreal, Akemi sent me the following DM –
Ooooooh, boy!
And then, this morning, she went me the following pics of more recent rogue purchases, neatly organized by toy line…
DC Multiverse: Zssaz, Pycho Piratę, and the promised Captain Boomerang!
Also from the DC Multiverse: Sinestro and Deathstorm.
Finally, my favorite lineup care of the McFarlane Toy Line: Retro Clock King, Joker, Riddler and – my favorite of favorites – Roddy McDowall’s Bookworm.
Akemi is also exceptional at folding bath towels, t-shirts, and underwear.
Well, off to watch another episode of The Outer Limits. I must admit, this show pales in comparison to the superior Twilight Zone. I’m about halfway through the 48 episode run and I honestly don’t know if I can make it.
