I am fond of children (except boys).
Lewis Carroll (1832-98)

Spent the morning and early afternoon at the dojo, helping with two karate promotions -- one for the kids, one for the adults -- and then came home to nap for a bit before heading to the parents' to eat dinner, watch the Pete Seeger 90th birthday concert that they had on the DVR (which was amazing), and watch some of the Yankees-Red Sox game. Then I came home to watch more of the game (Yanks won 8-4 to take the series, and make their division lead 7.5 games).

Also did some work on D'Argo's Quest #2, which I need to finish so I can get back to Heart of the Dragon. Cha cha cha.

The last review episode of the Summer of the Rift has gone live. John brings the Rifftrax'ing of Plan 9 from Outer Space to the table, Judy brings the Franklin Institute exhibits on Galileo and Star Trek, Orenthal brings Galaxy Rangers on DVD, and I bring several baseball blogs.

Then the reviews. On "A Case for Books," Andrea reviews The Host by Stephenie Meyer (yes, that one) and Lethal Legacy by Linda A. Fairstein. "The Comics Curmudgeon" looks at the comics adaptations of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Jeff Lemire's The Nobody, and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. And on "Couch Potato Salad," I review Torchwood: Children of Earth.

Finally, on "Pop Fiendish," Orenthal does the cage match between GI JOE and Transformers.
