Cave Time

I stayed up late Thursday night because I knew I had Friday off work. But I woke up much later than planned, I couldn't find a piece of my visa paperwork that I needed to take to the Social Security office, and it was raining cats and dogs. My umbrella, bought on vacation in Madrid in 2002, lasted about ten seconds from the door of my apartment to the trash can across the street. Wind really blows. So I shrugged off all but the local errands and settled into some quality "cave time".

Yesterday I read ten comics, finished the latest Wizard magazine, downloaded five new South Park episodes, downloaded Daily Show and Chappelle's Show clips, downloaded audio of Dave Chappelle's HBO Special and video of Lewis Black On Broadway, got to the end of my Space Ghost DVD, and in the mail I received six episodes of A Bit Of Fry & Laurie from The Paranoid Mod (who is keeping the U.K. safe while I'm gone). That's a helluva day's bounty, even glossing over the porn.

Stephen Fry (The Book in the H2G2 movie) and Hugh Laurie (currently starring as House in House M.D.) were part of the British alternative comedy scene in the late 80s and early 90s. These .avi files were made from video tape recordings of the original broadcasts in 1989. Seeing that old BBC2 logo again was a hoot!

Later in the day I checked my friends' blogs (linked on the left) and saw that Brad and Eve, who also had no work on Friday, had both taken a look at the weather and decided to have cave days too.
