Dr. Milo T. Pinkerton III's Journal

Progress!
I've certainly come to know there's no time to ruminate on past regrets. After all, every time I try to use the Time Door to fix a past mistake, I introduce two more alternate mistakes into the time stream! You just can't win that way, folks.

Take last weekend's very localized flooding for instance... on the downside, I lost my beloved office fridge and slightly less beloved laptop, and the water devalued some of my arcade games. On the positive side, tests today indicated that they won't have to gut out my office walls again. The dehumidifiers and fans worked, and that's a really good thing! My laptop's hard drive survived, and there's a good chance both it and my fridge will be taken care of by insurance. Good deal.

Rumor is that the flooding, which affected businesses all up and down the street, was exaggerated by the in progress work on the drainage system, as part of the new road construction which has been ongoing for more than two years. In other words, it's WORSE now than before Katrina. Those construction crews had better get their asses in gear before we see more major weather action! Meanwhile, I think I'll just pick everything ELSE up off the floor now...

Meanwhile, C.O.G. is signing on to perform at BabelCon II in Baton Rouge next month. A minor con, to be sure, but an opportunity for us to perform in Baton Rouge, which we've never done, and enjoy another con. C.O.G. has played many sci-fi cons over the years, including our first show! Barring another show before then, this will be our 100th stage lecture. Should be fun! Meanwhile, I'm continuing to seek an in-town gig as well, but no dice so far.

Aside from that, I'm coming up on rehearsals for another episode of Dice Jockies, and possibly another non-C.O.G. video project... more news about that soon. In the meantime, here's an excellent picture of a favorite Dr. Who villain who's scheduled to re-appear on the show next weekend... Davros!!!
