I saw him having a Pina Colada at Trader Vic’s. His hair was perfect.

Another major site buried by Vesuvius (but in the Bronze Age, ~ 1750BC) has been discovered. Experts say it could be the world’s best preserved early Bronze Age village. Among the items found were the bones of hams, a hat decorated with the teeth of a wild boar and a cage which had been raised six feet off the ground – probably to protect it from dogs – containing the remains of pregnant goats. Before this we had only holes in the ground where stakes had been, to show us what a Bronze Age village had been like.

What else lies lurking, waiting patiently to be uncovered? (Insert evil organ music…)

I dunno, but it will probably be related to… SPARTACUS!!!!

There’s no escaping! He’s everywhere! He was bigger than Elvis!

He never really died you know. Everyone that said “I am Spartacus?” They were telling the literal truth.

That grave at Pere Lachaise? Empty. Where is Spartacus buried? He never died. Now stop fooling around and organize.

Some say he changed his name to Keyser Soze.

I heard he worked under the codename ROSEBUD.

Some say he moved in espionage circles under the name George Kaplan, but others say he took the codename ANDREA.

Some say they saw him disguised behind bandages as an unknown soldier.

He’ll be all around in the dark. He’ll be everywhere, wherever you can look. Wherever there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, he’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, he’ll be there. He’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad. He’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready and where people are eatin’ the stuff they raise and livin’ in the houses they build. He’ll be there, too.


I'm a Cuban Tree Frog!

Believed to have been brought to America as stow-aways on banana boats, Cuban Tree Frogs are the largest tree frogs in North America. They are notorious for cannibalism…if there are other species of frogs in the tank, or even specimens of the same species, they have been known to feast on their neighbors!

What kind of Frog are you?

Once the ground of mind is clarified,
There is no obstruction at all.
You shed views and interpretations
That are based on concepts such as
Victory and defeat, self and others,
Right and wrong.
Thus you pass through all that
And reach a realm of great rest and tranquility.

Back from walkies… a lovely morning out. Cool and clear.Walked to the post office and back, and realized I’d have been smart if I’d brought some more money with me to visit the green stand while there… ah well, I’ll swing by during laundry, later on today. Submitted two stories to the The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. Well, I just dropped them in the mailbox… so it won’t be really launched form the PO until Monday. We’ll see what happens… I still have some stuff in the slush pile at Analog but no info as to when, or if they’ll ever crack into the light of print. When I get back to work tomorrow, I have to print out a few more nice cover sheets, to shop more things around again. Time to print out everything I think to be of value, and just scattergun, tracking what’s gone where in a spreadsheet (that I have yet to put together). I wonder where my landlord went off to… never picked up the rent yesterday.

I did a little writing yesterday on looseleaf paper, trying to capture a different vibe than typing on the laptop. (My gorilloid hands still aren’t the most happy with the “just smaller enough to throw me off” size. I’ve found that porgramming on the worker bee is ok, since I have a lot of word completes and such on the text editor there. I know I’m more comfortable writing on a machine, once the elements are in place, but I think doodling on a scratch pad loosely has some really valid points to it.

*thinking good thoughts for my sweetie who’s going to brave the shopping frenzy today with her maternal unit.

Ah well, off to daily chores! See you kids in a while.

Oh! go see http://www.explodingdog.com/ …I like it.

I knew it – (I’m only slapping online tests at the bottom of real entries, now. 🙂 )
