technical difficulties

okay...

i received a few emails from several members of our perhapa-family reporting that there is some problem with the blog, that, in some cases, people can't click past the first page, that initial perhapa-blog page that list the last four or five entries with the titles and a small snippet of the post. i've passed this on to craig and kieran, our resident computer genius, and, at this point, my only report is that we're looking into it. well, they're looking into it. actually, i think it's gotten to the point where just kieran is looking into it. which is good--that's usually when things like this get fixed...
i'll keep you posted.

(some kind of url confusion or something like that...)

i don't really have all that much to say today...
hope you all had an enjoyable weekend and a wonderful father's day!
i had dinner with my dad and immediate family, had a customarily loooooong conversation with my extra father, and i will be enjoying the company of my extra parents this week when the wieringos stop by for a few days during their summer excursion up through the northeast!

as i continue to have fun with the hulk, iron man, thor, etc. in the super hero squad, i've been finding myself picking up even more of the super hero squad figures and, as hasbro likes to put it, my squad is getting quite super...

i recently managed to acquire for my team--


--a captain america--with cool shield accessory--and red skull--with also cool cosmic cube!



--and cyclops and marvel girl, who, i just realized, came accessory-less...



at this point, realizing that i do have a collector's mentality (i try to fight off my urges to collect 'em all!,)--still, i like to have the characters i've written and the figures that are just...too cool!
so i ask you...who have you got? how many have you got? how super is your squad?

as for the glorious return of the five for friday,
not a lot of you logged in...
but that's okay...brian nailed 'em all except the first one,
and colin swung in valiantly and got that!
they are as follows...



1. "i'll shine up my old brown shoes,
put on a brand new shirt,
get off early from work,
if you'll say..."

"i want you to want me"--cheap trick

2. "don't run back inside, darlin', you know just what i'm here for.
so you're scared and you're thinkin' that maybe we ain't that young anymore..."

"thunder road"--bruce springsteen

3. "i was talkin' with a friend of mine,
said a woman had hurt his pride,
told him that she loved him so then,
turned around and let him go."

"don't do me like that"--tom petty and the heartbreakers

4. "when are you gonna come down...?
when are ya goin' to land...?"

"goodbye yellow brick road"--elton john

5. "if there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now..."

"stairway to heaven"--led zepplin

that's it for today!
i gotta run!
smell ya later!
