There are a gazillion jet-black grasshoppers with a yellow stripe running down the back outside. must be mating season! (add link when home)

I also picked up a micro-pet – yuk

Hey, they claim to have caught a chupacabra?

Hmm… looks like a cat to me.

Had a dream last night that I was required to get an enema as part of some sort of physical. The nurses were very matter-of-fact about it, though I really had (and have) no interest in getting one. I finally left when one of them said “It’s not bad at all…here, I’ll show you on another nurse first.” The physical was taking place at my old 1-bedroom apartment in pompano, but I left rather than kick out all the medical staff.

Maybe that’s my mind’s way of reminding me that I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning at 9? I don’t imagine an enema is on the list of evaluative procedures.

geoblog is interesting… I have it semi-set up, now it’s just a matter of time before the implementation of autopinging weblogs.com is made to work.

dream notebook transcription, clean up

Had a very vivid dream that I was a kid of about 12 years old, and some guy was orchestrating some sort of day care or group project with more children at my old house on Longmeadow circle. The guy in charge was going to make us all go on some sort of week long trip into the woods, and had planned to give us drugs for each day… ones that we weren’t supposed to tell our parents about. (I have no idea where my parents were). I took it upon myself to assume that it was a bad idea to do so, and hid my pills in a Ziploc baggie under my pillow… while doing that, I glanced, saw Newton outside, and panicked. I dove through the sliding glass door, scooped him up, and went into the other room to complain to the authority figure about letting the cat out… he went on to yell at the group of kids there about it, but I wasn’t satisfied, because he was in the Florida room with the door wide open, and I thought that he was responsible for Newt almost being lost. My temper flared very high and I began yelling at the guy, slamming the flat of my hand against the counter…I was just getting into it when my brother knocked on my door and woke me up.

Argh. Eckerd drugs fubared again. I’m done with them.

2 hours of waiting, then they tell me it’s $40 rather than the expected $25 (which should have only been $10) I go to the doctor on Thursday, so I’ll get her to call the place up then, and iron it out.

I was going to rant about it, but I’ve not got the wind.

wow… interesting way to generate hits. 374 hits in 3 minutes.

had my entry hit with a spambot, so I’ve edited it and am posting the information here for future reference. I’m also reporting it to abuse at the ISP level. 5.5 megs of spam in 3 minutes warrants that.

As a result, I’ll screenning any anonymous comments now, at least for a bit.

Interesting… my journal is in the lj top 40. (according to Google‘s page-ranking methods) found here. I don’t know if that’s good, bad, or neither.

a few neat things on lately.

Can’t seem to get to sleep… things weighing on my mind, both good and bad. ah well, I guess that’s what my books are for.. Escape, and a natural tranquilizer.

Positives, The There-crew, esp. DN. The Golden Egg trophy by the way is very pretty, and will look stunning on the mantle at the lighthouse.

Evil Thought.

If I was a psycho serial killer, I’d drain the blood from my victims, put it in ketchup packets, and leave them in public-access condiment containers.

I wonder how long blood would remain fresh, vacuum sealed at room temperature?

Man, now I’m afraid to eat french fries.

I’m glad I’m not a psycho serial killer.

Article about “Essential Difference”

(53-63) -just on the edge
You have an above average ability for understanding how people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity. On Average, most women score about 47, and most men about 42.

Well, that’s something. Even If I’m very analytical, I can still catch a vibe.

According to the Baron-Cohen brain type chart, I have a balanced brain between male and female stylings, even though I got close to the edge of being a type E. So much for a manifestation of autism.

Folks still haven’t gotten the pod mind mapped yet, I guess.

End of the road... home once again. I am parking it here, though.

I wasn't the only one on the bicycle back roads this afternoon...a few old ladies, a young guy, a couple of peacocks and a squirrel all were along no the nature ride.

Back from the bike ride… I saw a few places that have for rent signs up… I catalogued them for future reference come mid-may. Summertime is the best time to seek a place to stay in Florida, and the worst time to move. There was absolutely no sign of rain, and precious few clouds for that matter. I need to remember to bring my ball cap to spare my nose a scalding. Hasn’t happened yet, but I know I’ll burn if I’m not protected.

an appealing 2-story on 10th street looks pretty likely. They have free utilities and it's very secluded, yet close to my brother, and transit.

Brother seems to be doing fairly well, and I’m happy for that.

The FMM gang are having an Unreal tournament tonight at 9pm… I have to set a note to remind me, otherwise I’ll be sitting out front reading or something.
