I can never have nice things

David Hahn makes my day with news of the Bite Club sequel. New characters, revamped(!) old ones, a vaguely Gotham Central direction with the Vampire Crimes Unit. Maybe if we're lucky, there will be some werewolves.

Currently watching Antiques Roadshow, which mostly reminds me that I can never have nice things. They just had three jugs that were bought at acutions for a total of about $31, with an estimated value of $50,000 or so.

We have three cats, one of whom delights in checking the continuing function of gravity by knocking things off the mantle. He's also fond of attempting to make sonic booms by running around the house at top speeds. Perhaps if our house were bigger, we could find some secluded place that would be feline-proof. On the other hand, cats are clever and cannot be bargained or reasoned with.

It's been a much more mellow day than I'd originally planned—I'd been thinking of playing a pickup game for my local kickball league—but instead I we stayed at home to clean. On the other hand, I've been looking outward though Google Sightseeing. I've been amused by Google Maps for quite a while, but other people have found some very interesting things. Including some unexplained stuff, and rare stuff like an SR-71 Blackbird parked outside.
