What was I doing at five-thirty in the morning? My body woke up, and I just assumed it was time to get moving. I’m not used to hopping out of bed early like that.
Maybe I can slip in some memes and linkies, after all.

6808 – um. It wasn't time to head out yet?

6806 – Lj replies, from *June*!
All my lj-mail that was stuck in queue have finally rolled into my inbox. forgive me for replying late to some things.. I didn’t know they were there!
Oldest one is from June 12.
6805 – pieholes and crutches
Well, I broke a c-note on my adsense account… we’ll see how quickly google decides to send me my check. (they have until the end of September to do it, because I rolled right on the first of august… they get 30 days from the end of any month ending with >$100.
A German company offered me another $20 to put a “sponsoren” link on my main page, too It’s small and unobtrusive… and links to text, no graphics, no pop ups and no porn. So far, my ad-links are paying about $90-100 a month on average, all told. I’m amazed… this is almost as good as what designers in there were making about six months ago. I don’t know how long it’ll last, but I’ll happily take the money until they decide to stop paying me.
I notice that all of my adsense links are for public service items today… a result of the hundred dollar hump?
With comics like these, I can’t help but vote redemopublicratican. Godzilla has my vote all over Morgan Freeman. warning, some potty-mouthage.
6804 – Break out the Ark, it’s a cloudburst!
Ah, now I’m happy.
I take great pleasure from tropical rainstorms… even if I get soaked to the bone waiting for a bus, the massive crashes of thunder and the perfect sedative nature of being at home with all this noise outside is perfectly restive.
I’m here, comfortably curled up with a blanket and Newt… the only thing that’d make it better would be having my sweetheart under the covers with me. (and the additional fur-kids, too.)
Counting Newts is even better than counting sheep to fall asleep.

6803 – My land is a multi-colored land

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Tom Ridge announced today that the threat level is being raised from Elevated-“Yellow” to High-“Orange” for the financial districts of New York City and Washington D.C. There is no specific threat to Florida and the state remains at a “Yellow” or elevated level along with the rest of the country.
“Florida remains at Yellow. The public can be confident in the fact Florida has a sound domestic security strategy and protocol in place,” said Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Guy Tunnell. “However, it is important for Florida’s citizens and visitors to be vigilant while continuing with their daily activities.”
Precautions the public can take are very similar to steps residents would take for a hurricane. They include:
- Continue with normal activities while being aware of your surroundings. Exercise caution while traveling.
- Be alert to suspicious activity and report it to your local law enforcement agency.
- Develop an emergency communications and disaster plan and exercise that plan.
- Prepare a disaster supplies kit to sustain your family for three to seven days. It should include a supply of water, food, flashlight, a battery-powered radio, and a first-aid kit.

6802 – August? Where did last month run off to?
I’ve got to remember to drop my monthly monies in the mail to the landlord. Bro’s court date is either tomorrow, or Wednesday, I forget which. I’m sure I’ll be reminded by end of day.
I can’t believe that I’ve been at my current gig for almost a year now. Serious time compression / dilation on that side of things.
Cripes… speaking of which, I have my Monday meeting today.. there goes another few hours into the john, unless I can give my update, and bug out.
I’m rather groggy… yesterday’s rainstorm put me in some sort of precipitation and cat-snuggle coma for a longer span of time that I needed to sleep. I fell into a deep slumber surrounded by the sounds of water hitting windows and roof, much rolling thunder, and Newt-purrs.
I’m really glad that the pro-wrestling trend has again retreated back into the seedy, tacky corner it came from. Now, I can cope with the wacky stuff like Luchadores and Midget Wresting (or best of all, a joining of the two), but the mainstream WWF/WWE/WWwhatever was just boring and invasive. I haven’t felt this good about something not bombarding my media since Clive Barker faded from view.
Ok, this is probably a rental, but I’d love to see a movie with thunderbirds-type puppets doing satire on the big screen, too. Team America – World Police
Spiffy Scarecrow game… Makes me long for Halloween.
Can’t play a particular DiVX movie? This codec pack might help (Klite is just codecs, mega is codecs plus a quicktime alternative and a realplayer alternative) it’s kept fairly up to date, so it’s worth checking back the next time a DiVX doesn’t work in the future, too.
6801 – Rock over New York, rock on Chicago.
Interesting quote that applies to many blogs out here…
“You will just have to accept being addressed by a disembodied voice just as I accept the compulsion to speak out even though I am painfully aware that I am talking to an invisible, perhaps nonexistent audience.”
–Robert Shea, The Eye in the Pyramid
I wonder how much my intelligence and personality has been altered as a result of playing with mercury when I was in high school?
How many IQ points were lost? Any added paranoia? Dementia? What aspects were opened and closed?
I won’t even venture into other chemical changes.
