Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Today I (Verb)...Round Four

...added that I think the man (who was African-American) asked if we were the only non-Asians. While Americans often use the word "Asian" to mean only East Asians, I didn't think it a point worth explaining that people who are ethnically South Asian are also Asian.

Asia IS pretty big. There's also the Middle East and parts of the former Soviet Union and Part of Turkey...

...became a Double Time Trapper.

Because peoples from those parts of Asia are visibly distinctive to us from East Asians, they generally get separate identifiers, like our friend "Indian" Lad, who many would assume is Middle Eastern.

Basically, I think we carve the world into Asians, Muslims, Native Americans, Whites and Hispanics. Penguins find this personally insulting as do the occasional other peoples.

...had delicious ramen for lunch.

... Had curry noodles!



yes, i know many Filipinos who assume all Caucasians are American. Many people still do not know that much about the world and make assumptions based on familiarity.

Been having this same conversation with a friend and of course the enlightened know that penguins are the people the rest of us aspire to be.

Today I watched the Legion episode of Justice League Unlimited.

Penguins are pretty cool

Took an inventory of the missing back issues in my Post Zero Hour Legion collection.

...woke up, had breakfast, logged in to Legion World to discover that Teeds and Lash were back and posting up a storm.

The best part of waking up, indeed. Welcome back, you lovable twosome!

...started getting paid per post. I hope everyone remembered, and won't be surprised by the bill at the end of the week!

... suffered from some existential angst. Okay, job-related only, but still.

... really hungry but can't eat solid food until after my test tomorrow.

... wished Quis well on the test

...echoed Ibby's good wishes to Quis.

... met up with a bunch of old friends whom I haven't seen in a while! It was great catching up, and good vibes all around. We just "get" each other so well.

...echoed Ibby's sentiments that seeing old friends is fun.

... gave Indy a virtual high-five.

*high-five*

after returning the high-five... began contemplating my career and my future.

After some poor night's sleep this week, had a long lie in today, a quick dentist appointment (Saturdays! finally!) and am now watching the footy with the cat.

glad you got some good sleep, thothy.

... after a poor week's sleep, continued having bad and interrupted sleep. Mostly because I had a long nap this afternoon.

...went through some boxes of old papers I had in storage. It was truly bittersweet to see drawings I did almost 20 years ago when I still had the fire and the hunger to do so. I think if things had turned out differently, I really could have been the next Colleen Doran or Amanda Conner. Please forgive the self-pity, I assure you it'll pass. But for now...

... gave Fanfie a big hug

... went out to see the Pope. Which I didn't accomplish.

...thanked Ibby for the hug, and gave him one in return.

... hugged Fanfie back and invited her over for some nice wine and mild chili.

... dreaded going back to work tomorrow. We just had a five-day weekend because of the Pope's visit.
