Great balls of ire

Last night my telephone, land line, rang at 12:55am. No one knows my telephone number, I have to check my phone bill whenever I need to know it. So I just picked it up and put it back down again. My phone is right beside my bed and being woken suddenly by the jarring ring was very disturbing and I found it difficult to get back to sleep.
I never use that phone so why I have it plugged in is a mystery. I disconnected it when I came home this evening. A few weekends ago it rang early in the morning and a voice said “Eagle Security Checking in” to which I replied “ok” and hung up.
Last weekend I bought the first 6 (makes me one shy of a complete collection) of Milk & Cheese. Fun fact kids; Evan Dorkin of Milk & Cheese fame, and his parnter in crime Sarah Dyer, wrote some Space Ghost episodes! The issues are in amazing condition for second hand and I feel a little guilty reading them for that reason. Similarly, I bought 4 Ghost in the Shell figures which I am very reluctant to remove from their packaging.

    So, are you a Batou man or a Kusanagi man? Inquiring minds and all that.

    I’m all about the Tachikomas, but I don’t have the right cable.

    Tough call. Both characters are very well defined and have their own endearing traits. Perhaps I should answer until I see Innocence?
    Btw, those figures are from the first movie and not the TV series so that’s not a Tachikoma, it’s the tank from the climax.
