Life is an interesting thing.

I'm sad to report that Mrs. Pennyfeather passed away over the holiday weekend. Fittingly, she died on Memorial Day itself after living a life that was dedicated to fighting for the rights of goldfish all over the world. She passed before her time, and she will be missed.

The same day that Mrs. Pennyfeather died, the pigeon that was hatched and has since been living on my air-conditioner, flew away. For weeks I've been watching it grow and then suddenly without even saying goodbye, he fled from the comfortable confines of my A/C unit. It's really his loss though because I was gonna serve him Mrs. Pennyfeather with a side of couscous as a goodbye meal.

Come to think of it I don't know if pigeons even like couscous, so maybe the whole thing was in poor taste anyway.

The weekend was otherwise very good. Lotsa sun in Central park, some good comedy and a couple alcoholic beverages. Today, I'm back to my normal routine of darkness, poor comedy and non-alcoholic beer.

I just read that DC Comics is bringing back Batwoman for the first time since 1979. She'll make her return as a "lipstick lesbian." You know, it's nice of them to throw the community a bone, but frankly I think that crime-fighting lesbians have gone far too long without a proper role-model.

Time to go, but something hilarious happened to me at the Cingular store the other day and I think it's worthy of an audioblog. Keep your fingers crossed that I don't forget...
