Back from my morning walk, showered, shaved and teeth brushed. (Newt’s a big fan of when I brush my teeth… right up in my face… I wish he was as interested when I brush his.)

Cool air, and high traffic on the road. My mind wandered more than I did…different thoughts and ideas going through my head. My brother isn’t going to be able to get together for thankgiving…not his fault, he’s scheduled to work until at least 8pm…but that means I’ll be going to TG dinner with my mom and her friends without the buffer of having someone on “my team” with me. Our attitudes and beliefs are so different… I’m going to go in, make some nice smiles and get out fast. I’m still feeling bad about my stupid move on Saturday…I want to apologise to him, but I don’t think it’d help matters any. I made an error, and I’ve learned from it. I guess the feeling bad part will fade over time. On a brigher note, this week is a short one… I hope we get friday off as well as TG. with this last week’s last minute pressures to get my project up and running, there weren’t any calls to the house, which is nice. With any luck, I’m going to get big brain back this week, now that the motherboard is in. That reminds me, I have to remember to bring Karen her treat for taking time to fiddle with my system… (man, the upgrade really screwed me… I’m glad she’s available ot take the time to fiddle with it, and make sure it’s all good, top to bottom. Once it’s happy and humming, I’m going to drop *nix and apache on it too, make it a dual boot, back to the brainy bit of hardware I was so proud of, way back when. Astley and his stupid chinese motherboard with no support really wrecked my system for a long time.

I’m also back to reading Harry Potter 4 as of last night… my sweetheart gave me the itch to read it again. I’m already about a fifth into it, and it seems better than I remember it (maybe because I’m not comparing it to the first two as directly.) I think I need a house elf, to do my picking up… Newt’s not cutting it as a maid.

Took a nice shower, and I’m lifted up. Sweetheart and I had a long gab today, fun laughs with harry potter, tarot and weird balloon porn, among other stuff. Laughter is a wonderful thing…I look forward to more soon. 🙂

I guess it’s time for bed.

nite, all!

Five of Disks

Five disks stand in relief against oblique job requirements. Something about the wording gives you a queasy feeling – as if it came from a game of “telephone” between non-engineers. Reservation, caution, need for further inquiry. Reversed: phantom job openings.

eek... I'm minor arcana!

When did martian manhunter get the ability to go desolid?

as far as I know, he just had –

Super strength, flight, telepathy, shape shifting, Martian vision (Similar to Superman’s heat vision), some speed, invisibility, and good detective abilities.

“Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you.”
— Albus Dumbledore

I’ve just been complimented… called a blend of Dumbledore and Hagrid by my sweetie. High praise!

from the sorting hat – (I suspected Ravenclaw first)

# 1 Gryffindor – brave, bold, daring
# 2 Ravenclaw – smart, intellectual
# 3 Hufflepuff – patient, hardworking, loyal
# 4 Slytherin – cunning, ambitious, machiavellian

http://www.browardcountyfair.com/ – ugh, embedded wav, and a cheezy page.

But the fair is on until the 25th, and I do like wacky rides and the weirdo games. Maybe I’ll go on thanksgiving with my brother before or after dinner at mom’s. My sweetie had a good idea… I’m thinking about bringing a tofurkey , just because I have an oven to prepare it in this year.

I may just make 3 sides…. if I can pry the Mary’s Green Bean cassarole recipe out of the keeper of said treasure.

“We bought U.S.-made chalk ourselves,” she said. “It was the best quality.”

It is gratifying to see the smiles of the children in Kabul and elsewhere celebrating the overthrow of the brutal Taliban. However, I am still very worried about the future — things do not seem even remotely settled. When you corner a dangerous animal, that’s when it becomes the most dangerous. If the terrorists have nothing to lose, what’s to stop them from unleashing everything they have against us?

I do feel we’re off to a good start, though. 🙂

The Horrible Affliction Test

Congratulations, you’re rabies!

Transmitted by rabid animals, you’re most commonly found infecting creatures such as raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes. But don’t worry, you affect humans too, causing either paralysis or hyperactivity in your advanced stages, and ultimately death.

Your most famous symptom is hypersalviation – that delightful foaming at the mouth that we have come to know and indeed love. However, you can also cause hallucination; think of the fun you could have at parties!

If you wish, you can proudly tell the world that you kill dogs with the following fine graphic:
