Happy Batman Day! Got this guy for Christmas in 1989, when the Tim Burton movie ruled the land. Been hanging in my bedroom ever since. You used to be able to buy prints like this all the time in stores like San Francisco.

Japanese Canada Dry bottle - There was a liquor store around the corner from my house selling these for 90 yen. A remember a student once asked if Canadians really love their ginger ale, and I said we like it just fine.

Stainless Steel Mug - You can barely make out my initials engraved on it. A thank you gift from my sister for being the videographer at her wedding. My sister says she chose me for the job because I was the only one she knew who was anal enough to take the job seriously.

Molson Export Mug - Speaking of Dad, he used to have quite the collection of beer mugs from his misspent youth. One day, Mom was tired of them cluttering up her China cabinet, so Dad boxed them up and took them to the garage. I took a shine to this one, so Dad said I could have it.

Red Lobster Typhoon - Last time I ate at Red Lobster was in the early 90s, for my birthday. They had a fancy cocktail on the menu called a Typhoon, and you got to keep the glass! So Dad had the drink and the birthday boy got to keep the glass.

And there's blood donation #19 in the books! Already got my next appointment booked for when Canadian Blood Services comes through town again. I'm going to have to do something to celebrate donation #20. Maybe a steak.

Watching Star Trek: The Original Series on Pluto TV. The episode This Side of Paradise is on. But thanks to that episode of Futurama, it will always be known as this one.

Me, all the way back in January:
“Well, my next dentist appointment is July 10. May as well book that day off while I’m thinking about it. Hey, it’s a Thursday. Let’s book Friday, too. Have a 4-day weekend. July 11…why is that already ringing a bell?”

I think people forget how much that movie dominated the summer of 1989. I remember my local paper interviewing a design major at the college who turned her car into a Batmobile. Just painted the logo on the hood. I wonder whatever happened to her.

I keep forgetting I did this until I get my receipt. Today was the first day a clerk noticed. She said, "Order for He-Man! *chuckle* That cracks me up."
Then I check the bag and saw she gave me an extra hash brown.
