Without further ado (because who out there gives a rat's ass, really?) ...

New daily reads:

• Yana - like I said, it's all about attitude.
  
• Wintermute - ditto.
  
• BryanBoyer - I think it's also about an ability to write and be just flat out entertaining. But it was really Steve that won me over.
  
• sixfoot6 - ditto, again (except for the part about Steve).
  
• Re-run: What's Happenin', Bry? - all of the above (again, excepting Steve).
  
• Zeldman - I always try to pay attention to people who can teach me cool crap.
  
• Monstro - even though he hasn't updated in a month.
  
• Perpetual Anticipointment - strangely compelling.
  
• Luke's Site o' Stuff - I meant to add this one a while back, but I lost it, but now I've found it. So here it is. Mainly because it's hard to be a Christian and be able to talk about it as the major part of your life that it is (without coming across as preachy), when there is so much anti-Christian sentiment out there to deal with. I was getting pretty down about the lack of faith among people whom I otherwise seem to have all kinds of cool things in common with, and then I stumbled across this site, and it picked me back up. He is not holier-than-thou. He just is.
  

I was going to add a few more, but I decided to wait and get to know them better.

Now I must go home and change clothes and come back to town because, as tired as I am, tonight is the last night to view on the big screen the movie that very nearly did what I've been trying to do for years: turned Tess into a fangirl. That's right, we're going to see Pitch Black one last time before it's pulled from theaters for good and heads off to small screen territory. Because, as you know, we both love Vin Diesel. My God, but how we love him.
