7422 – Pesky Xenu and Teegeeack !
The Colinas sent me a Blinky the Three-eyed fish Squishy-toy as a swell thank you for the Doctor Who eps. Hey, there was one on last night! I have to remember to yank it down.
Blinky has a super squishy body, sparkle-infested goo interior. The girls at the club gave him more love than any mutant fish could hope for.. Amy took him on stage and sang him a ditty.

Club tonight, at least for a little bit, barring call emergencies. Hopefully tomorrow with Danny, too.
Celine Dion as Michael Jackson. Why do I like this?
quote [ …began as a normal traffic stop but took an ominous turn when the driver refused to get out of her SUV. It ended with a Boynton Beach Police officer hitting the 22-year-old woman twice with his Taser during her arrest. ]
disturbing video. I suspect she had a panic attack, because a taser doesn’t normally cause someone to flip out like that.. it hurts, for sure, but that stops right away.
She was warned four times, but preferred to hang out on the cell phone. Look at the other videos to see how the encounter started; he actually spoke to the woman a bit before taking her license and registration. When he returned and asked her to get out of the car, it was because she was driving with a suspended license and he intended to arrest her.
Old News, but I hadn’t seen the video. I used to work for the City of Boynton Beach (library), way back when.
Sunset was gorgeous last night. The rainclouds parted the sun came out, and turned the sky all sorts of beautiful warm colors before fading to purple.
Free doughnut day at Krispy Kreme. I’ll stop in if one crosses my path, but won’t make a special trip for one. Free ice cream, that’s I’d make a plan for.
Had the exceptionally pleasant experience of meeting firpo (quite an accomplished writer and artist out of California) on my journal yesterday in my comments section. It’s lovely when anonymous comment-folk pop in and say hello! Sometimes I think LJ is rather insular regarding non-lj types. I had the pleasure of seeing some of firpo’s work, and I quite liked what I saw — I may have to buy the book, too.
mzk called from New Mexico… has a UTI, and Mr. Tiggs nearly escaped on her, but aside from that, all is well. Will be in Cali by the weekend, I imagine.
Researchers from Stanford and Cornell have designed a camera sees behind objects. I remember that scene in Bladerunner when decker manipulated the photo to see one of the replicants around the corner of the apartment and I was cool but no way is that possible, well now it is.”

Oh, dear. Now this is a bit of ugly advertising for LJ:

Weather Yesterday knocked me out. Made me wicked sleepy… After work, I had a long nap, and then watched Fog of War. It was quite fascinating, and I’d recommend it to anyone. First Time I’ve checked out the special features. Subtitles are in French, Spanish, Japanese, and Portuguese, and the additional scenes are of value.
Krispy Kreme outlets will be giving away free doughnuts on 3 June 2005. (tomorrow)
OneWordMovie [Flash] asks you for any term and then produces a movie made from image search results of Google and others.
I enjoyed putting scottobear in there, since it’s unique enough to just flip though stuff related to my life, usually images posted in LJ. slowest speed is my preferred viewing method.
Gave platelets again last night. (pre-nap) Fortunately, the saline wasn’t as painful this time. I miss going at midday, when the nearby sub shop would bring over a free sammich instead of the center giving a packet of famous amos and a diet coke. Ah well, it’s charity, I’m not in it for the free lunch.
I’m already missing MP, and she’s not even gone yet. I’m a dope for getting too emotionally invested.
Newt loves it when I read to him at night. I don’t think it’s remotely strange to read him a bedtime story before we go to sleep. I like reading aloud, and he’s a good listener (when he’s not trying to sit on the book being read.)
I had a talk the other day with a coworker. They’re upset about the low level of respect that’s doled out in the office. My response is that what they think or say really doesn’t matter. If they don’t respect you, and you know you deserve respect… that’s them being ignorant. I don’t think it was very comforting.
Bro called me, still hasn’t gotten his new cell-phone, and wants me to help him get this fishing pole out of storage to better get some food from off the land. I think he’s got a telemarketing gig now, too. I’m hoping that I can get those for him shortly.
Boy, church sure has changed since last time I went (via qdot) [possibly nsfw]
Lately, I’ve been going to bed hungry. I’d rather have a little pang than bother to get up an eat. I don’t know if that’s better or worse for my diet, but sloth has officially defeated gluttony in my deadly sin ratings.
No good comcast resolution, so I canceled my billing with them. I may get the “dish”, or I may just do without regular TV for a while. I can keep myself very entertained without cable, considering I only really watch shows that I torrent lately.
I’m a terrible one for philosophy, mainly because most of what’s been presented to me has too much sophistry for me to accept.
Moment of Lyric:
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We’ll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Pretty cool solar-powered gadget charging backpack.

It is astonishing that a potential law could even reach the stage of being voted on in the USA that says if you witness or ‘become aware’ that neighbors or friends have broken the law with narcotics (which presumes you are a competent judge of that), you will be compelled by law to denounce them to the police. Failure to do so means prosecution and the threat of a two year sentence yourself if convicted of simply minding your own business. Even if you disagree with the drug laws, you will be threatened with prison if you do not actively help enforce them against other people.

Raining like all the doggies in doggie heaven were let out into the yard at the same time.
First day of hurricane season, and it looks like Ma Nature is making the effort to drive a point home. I had food delivered for lunch today – BBQ tofu burger and fries. yummy, and they made a point of giving me lots of hot tater-sticks this time. (last go-round, I suspect the driver may’ve gotten munchies on the way over.)
any hurricane-related purchases for the next 2 weeks is tax-exempt, and home depot is doing an additional discount too. I’m due to pick up a new cooler, I think.
Water is coming down in huge, heavy drops, and the sky’s cloudy.
I’d love to be home curled up in a ball under a cool sheet with a nice nap now.
7410 – Walks on the beach are nicer with a cohort.
Lovely night. MP was a sweetheart. I got off work at 4, she didn’t start until 7, so we got a chance to hang for a few hours by the beach. I’m really glad that she’ll be back in 3-4 months. I’m getting a little attached, though I think I’ll know enough to ease up once she sets sail. I’ve tried long distance relationships, and they don’t seem to work out for me in the long run. (in the short run, they’re just fine, though.)
We got plantains, and we fed them to one another. (that’s as romantic as anyone will see in a public post of mine, I suspect)
At the club:
Tony the Bartender, meh.
Chuck the barback, blah.
Miyah, Bartender / Waitstaff in training: Awesome.
Steve of all trades: Nice guy
Gil – Day Manager – *great guy*
Phil – Night manager – Nice guy
Fred – What if George Hamilton and Andre the Giant Had a Love-child. Whitest teeth in the known universe.
MP – Woo!
Parish – sharky
Diane – Sweet as pie, likes white russians (the drink) a lot
