A river with a fear of heights… that’s almost interesting.
I almost went to the ren-fest yesterday, but then I remembered it’s expensive, and is mostly bleh, save for the mud show and renfaeries, which rock. Instead, I just sort of shuffled around and burned the soles of my sneakers walking.
I’m thinking of applying something like this or this to my new journal/website layout.
I make my letter “o” in a clockwise circle, and my “e” starting with the center stroke, not the outside. I wonder if it’s because I’m left-handed?
Hm, No Gray’s Anatomy, but I got Soylent Green instead. Chuck Heston makes a good post-apocalypse leading man… this combined with Omega Man and Planet of the Apes proves it. Plus, in SG, he gets to smack Chuck Connors around like a rag doll (including a kick to the beans that lifted the Rifleman right off of the floor.) I can easily see New York or Miami suffering from that level of overcrowding in 20 years, certainly in the 50 from the time that SG was filmed. I also forgot: DICK VAN PATTEN IN CHARGE OF SUICIDE BOOTHS!
p.s. Soylent Green Tea Ice Cream is one of the best flavors at the best ice cream store in Miami, The Frieze. I’m overdue to head back there… the last time I had it was August 12, 2001.
How do I know? My journal is the only thing that comes up on a google search for Soylent Green Tea Ice Cream. Same goes for Yahoo.

I suspect the same guy that made the Robert did it tiles I saw a week or two ago. unlike the crossing sign button level of the others, these were at ground level.
I also caught a snap of this girl on the bus… I was reading a book on the palmtop, and I turned on the camera to snap a sneaky-shot. It turned out I was being observed, too. If I’d had my wits more about me, I’d have struck up a conversation. She looks like a red-headed version of my ex, April.
If you search for miserable failure in washington dc, on google maps, the closest match is George Bush.

$3.2B USS Jimmy Carter Enters Fleet
GROTON, Conn. (AP) – The USS Jimmy Carter entered the Navy’s fleet Saturday as the most heavily armed submarine ever built, and as the last of the Seawolf class of attack subs that the Pentagon ordered during the Cold War’s final years.
The $3.2 billion Jimmy Carter was commissioned Saturday, the first named after a living ex-president. Carter, himself a former submariner during his time in the Navy, was on hand for the ceremony signaling the end of an era in submarining.
The 453-foot, 12,000-ton submarine has a 50-torpedo payload and eight torpedo tubes. And, according to intelligence experts, it can tap undersea cables and eavesdrop on the communications passing through them.
It can reach speeds of more than 45 knots and carry Tomahawk cruise missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes, and it is engineered to be quieter than the other Seawolves, making it better for surveillance.
John Pike, a military analyst with globalsecurity.org, said the ceremony closes the book on the big-submarine era.
“It was part of our strategy on how we were going to win World War III. It was a significant component in our response to the evil empire,” he said.
In eastern Connecticut, a region steeped in submarine history and the home to the Electric Boat shipyard, which built and launched the Seawolves, some fear the Pentagon will close the submarine base as it looks to shrink the submarine fleet and buy smaller, cheaper subs.
“It’s hard to find a civilian that doesn’t have some connection to the sub force,” said Bud Fay, who owns a diner, car wash and laundry not far from the base gates in Groton.
To ensure that the last Seawolf was not obsolete before it hit the water, the Pentagon delayed production to install a 100-foot hull extension that military analysts say equips the Jimmy Carter to replace the USS Parche, one of the fleet’s premier spy subs.
The Parche was decommissioned in October. The Jimmy Carter will be based out Kitsap, Wash., the Parche’s former home.
