Thursday miscellanea #337

  • No Wayward Pines tonight. It picks back up next Thursday. I loved the big reveal in last week’s episode, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the run. If you’re not watching it, go to that link and catch up!
  • Anaheim Chili will have another Inferno Weekend for Father’s Day, starting tomorrow night (Friday) for dinner and continuing until they’re out of everything. (Might want to go by Saturday to be safe.) I saw Scott at Fresh Market today and got a little inside intel on what’s to come. Sounds good. Chileheads, gourmands—you want to be there!
  • We received another entertaining telephone call this evening. Dudes and dolls, dig: the Internal Revenue Service will never, ever make initial contact with you by telephone. If you get an ominous-sounding call that claims to be from the IRS, it’s a scam. The IRS makes initial contact by first-class (or occasionally higher) mail.
  • The boys and I caught the latest Marvel Comics movie with BamaDan and his two older this past weekend. We had a good time, and were suitably rewarded for watching it on a big screen. I’ll tell you, though, they’re all pretty interchangeable for me at this point. I never read the comic books, so I don’t get the inside references and don’t know what to expect next. I’m entertained, but the larger world is nearly totally lost on me (and these films are planned out for literally decades).
  • If you don’t sound like a real person, I’m not following you back on Twitter. I don’t need any more trivia fact accounts, and I definitely don’t need any more Twitterbots, no matter how slutty the profile photo and bio are.
  • The boys and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously at Moulton Motor Speedway last weekend with friends from church. We’re going to try to get to a different track next month. When I get a little more baseline knowledge, I’ll post at some length about it.
  • Looks like we actually will get a little break in the weather this weekend. Forecast temperatures are about five degrees cooler than we’ve had this week during the day. Break those parkas out.

  1. We’ve gotten the IRS call, too. Brian had a little fun with it ( the guy was named “Mark Anderson” and had a heavy Indian accent) before telling him to never call us again.
