Hey, happy Tuesday, dear journal.
Talked with wickenden briefly last night and experimented with hello‘s picture share/chat/host program some. Very nifty, indeed and quite easy to use. I may use my blogspot account as a backup gallery now. I dig the revision of “powered by blogger” button to the newer “I power blogger”, by the way.
In my email this morning –
We’ve noticed that customers who have purchased Battlestar Galactica – The Complete Epic Series (Limited Edition Cylon Head Packaging) also enjoy The A-Team – Season One on DVD. For this reason, you might like to know that The A-Team – Season One will be released on June 8, 2004 on DVD.
How would they enjoy it, if it hasn’t been released yet? Oh, you Dirk Benedict Fanciers!
I wonder how long it’ll be before they release a “A-Team : Next Gen” TV series… maybe with Bea Arthur as Hannibal and one of the Blonds from She-Spies as “Face” (Or would they call her something else?)
a couple of random piccies.
Las Olas Centre and the Samba Room.
Was thinking about doing the “four elements” theme, but lost light before wind and earth could be implemented.
The New River, Bridge up.
Nifty Hellboy scene that might have some bearing someday,
if some mook decides to pick on the folks I like to browse on my LJ list.
Come to think of it, HB could be edited out if need be, for size. The idea of an undead monkey-looking guy flipping someone off cracks me up.
Regarding the last piccie, I did talk to a homeless guy who shines shoes. I’ve seen him around quite a bit.. he seems to do ok for himself. (I didn’t take his pic.. that seemed wrong to me.) We watched the people walking by and remarked in mutual agreement how healthy everyone looked. It’s true… on Las Olas, there are no sickly ones… you so rarely someone with a cane, let alone an old man with an oxygen tank, or someone in a wheelchair.
The guy was lucid and cool. He’s not in it for the next beer or hit of dope, as far as I could tell, so I bought him a sandwich at the nearby quizno’s. He got a tuna on wheat, with *everything* on it… I wonder if he got it that way simply because it was more food. I had a veggie, and the talk was quite refreshing. I should’ve thought to ask if he was going to be at the free movie in the park next weekend.
Got my Legion comics (Giffen run, 1-50, for cheapies.) from ebay today, so ol’ newt has a fun cardboard box to step on, if not fit inside.
Thank goodness MA took call for next Monday. ADP is going out of town, and I really didn’t want to be chained to the HQ all day.
Reflecting on the Teen Titans cartoon…I think it’d be keen if Elasti-Girl & Mento showed up as Beast Boy’s adoptive parents. (or even better, the Doom Patrol in General.)
The Pit. (some fun, and sometimes “ewwy” is a silly way flash animations.)
Nightlife lovers in Niamey have repeatedly complained of a woman who appears from nowhere, curses and threatens them before vanishing as if she had “evaporated.” Young women in skimpy outfits have been particular targets for the evil spirits.
“Given the rumor which has been circulating for at least three weeks now of strange apparitions stalking people, notably young women, I have ordered all the elderly chiefs of Niamey to resort to the traditional sacrifices, with qualified people, to stop this curse,” Niamey Mayor Jules Oguet said Monday.
Animist beliefs and witchcraft are widespread in West Africa and sorcerers often have a big influence on their communities.
“People should be reassured: if there are any evil spirits, they will be dealt with,” the mayor told radio station R & M.
Some local marabouts — Muslim religious leaders who are often credited with magical powers — have dismissed the apparitions as conmen trying to extort money from frightened people, but Oguet was taking no chances.
Niger, where the majority of the population is Muslim, is one of the poorest countries on earth.
