so I stopped collecting comic books a while ago.

I have a huge gambit collection - basically ever figure and statue made from his inception to about 2002... I have many of the key comics which feature the cajun although I know I am missing severl important runs and individual comics (like uncanny #273 where gambit kicks wolverine's ass - it's true - look it up...)

but I've stopped collecting. I don't know if it's because I feel that I have matured enough to put all of this behind me or I'm just too lazy to go through the work to track down and buy all of the things I am missing, or if I am just overwhelmed by the amount that I do not have... because technically there is really no end until the x-men are finished and gone...

[oh - and what's the deal about killing off gambit in the ultimate x-men series?]

there were rumors about josh holloway (sawyer from lost) playing gambit in x3, but that's out... I heard keanu wanted to play him as well... I'd vote for sawyer over neo though, although I think gambit is a little more lean than sawyer and much more smooth... but he's an actor, so maybe he can act...

but I digress, so the question remains...
do I keep all my gambit stuff, of do I pull a 40-year old virgin and sell all my stuff?

right now, it's just taking up space in my closet in the spare bedroom...

do I end it, calling the race done... or do I keep running and finish the race...

I don't know... I just don't know.

so I just killed an hour of my life playing sudoku on www.websudoku.com - I played the evil level and it took me 56 minutes to complete it...

it was the first time I was able to complete an online one due to the fact that I was uninterrupted for that period of time...

Needless to say, I was excited - I thought it was a decent time, considering the level of difficulty and the fact that this is really only the third puzzle I attempted and completed...

I clicked on the statistics button to see how I fared against the populace...

much to my embaressment and disappointment, it told me that 97% of the people who played on that site finished faster than me - the average being 17 minutes... (btw, it only tells you those stats if you complete it without mistakes)

17 minutes?!?!

who are these unknown geniuses of the single number game? are there millions of savants just sitting at home, quickly and flawlessly filling the matrix of numbers?

... ... ...

For my ego's sake, I hope they were calculating all of the puzzles solved, including the ones from the three lower difficulties...

for now, I must bury myself in the mountain of work which I had so be avoiding for the last hour...

maybe then I can forget.

maybe now...

maybe this time...

I have those bags under my eyes... the ones that make you look very tired.

they don't actually make you feel tired, nosiree...

the thing that makes you feel tired is playing video games until 5am when you should have gone to sleep as soon as you got home (in my case my apartment)...

... ... ...

so I've decided that, although it is cool that I do not have to worry about the gas bill for my apartment, having the furnace on 80 degrees F isn't so much fun in a small bedroom given there is very little moisture in the air.

it makes one prone to bouts of extreme thirstiness in the middle of the night.

... ... ...

man... since when did my eye lids get so damn heavy?

it's on baby.

of course, I'm not watching it until it's over because commercials suck.

stargate is almost done.

atlantis is next.

galactica to follow.

gotta go, the better half is asking for chicken lemon rice soup.
