Where I pick up the #1 if I’m too late for my local #55 junction. It takes about 15 minutes to walk here from my house, so I know I can get to work in time if I leave by 7:20

This is sort of how things look first off, too.

4. If you could launch a politician into space, and perhaps they wouldn’t make it back, who would it be?
3. Do you believe in an after-life?
Minor case of instant karma last night at the ‘mat. I saw someone leave without her drivers license and credit card, and I brought ’em to her as she was pulling out of the parking lot. She kindly insisted on giving me a fiver to cover the cost of doing the laundry. Presto!
I also gave a homeless guy a pack of matches when he asked if I had a lighter. I carry matches with me all the time now, even if I don’t smoke… I’m not sure when I picked that quirk up, but people always seem to think that I’m a smoker… plus, you never know when you’re going to need fire.
This little chain reaction game thing is far too hypnotic than it should be. 1052 is my current best.

Registered a PIN for student aid.. I’m going to take a few night courses to keep my skill set honed. If Uncle Sam wants to help defray my expenses, I’m more than happy to let him help out.
Once I get my new PIN, I’ll sign up with FAFSA.
Anyone want to take a few courses with me at the Fort Lauderdale Branch of BCC/FAU? I figure I’ll put some polish on my certifications.
Can’t get my shots with the PCP, so back to referrals it is! It was worth a shot.
Good thoughts for the Lisas rocketing to Texas.
Here you go, zircon.
You can expect this one to be making the link rounds for a while. The Encyclopedia of Lesbian Movie Scenes is just that. Films are scored on attributes like build-up, kissing, and explicitness. Some entries have reviews, but the reviews are of the love scenes, not the films overall.
Magda’s Birthday!
More allergy shots today. I have to call the primary and get more referrals for next time.
3 years ago, Danny and I discovered heroclix, and I posted the zombie picture yesterday just out of randomness.
I dreamt that I killed my older sister by accident.
To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never had an older sister.
She fell down the stairs because she tripped on a stack of books that I’d left at the top.
I don’t think I’ve ever lived in a multi-story home with a staircase like that. It sort of reminded me of Pam’s Mom’s place… I still vividly remember sleeping over there before our road trip to Disney. Right down to the dinotopia calendar. I always liked her mom… Paul, I was not to crazy about.
I have very fond memories of watching Doctor Doctor with her on the phone, and the both of us laughing our fool heads off. Really a shame that friendship fell apart.
The steps in the dream were covered with bright yellow and lime green shag carpet.

How to View the Perseid Meteor Showers
If, around August 12th, you go outside between midnight and dawn and look up for a minute or so, you’ll most likely spot a meteor streaking through the sky. The August Perseid meteors were the first that astronomers associated with a particular comet. In the mid 1860s, Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli observed that Perseids followed the appearance of the Swift-Tuttle Comet.
Billy Harvey’s website has a fun interface…. I don’t normally dig arbitrary use of flash, but this works well.
To tell if you have bad breath:
1. Lick your wrist
2. Wait ten seconds for it to dry
3. Sniff your wrist
Disclaimer: Doesn’t work if your wrists normally smell bad, or if your breath smells very strongly of wrist.
The personalized google homepage is really what a portal is all about… especially since you can add feeds to it now. (plus, google has a way of making feeds based off of new searches, too) It’d be my primary web-feed reader, if I didn’t already syndicate on LJ.

Unable to schedule much journal-time lately.. just harried at work, for the most part. The memories of teachers are fascinating… I look forward to seeing more of them.
Haven’t gotten a single call from bro since he landed in the pokey.. I wonder if there’s some sort of call block going on?
The racket in my head is at a dull murmur now. The sounds are at least more synchronized. If only the sounds outside would do that once in a while.

Inspired by Kerby’s recent entry:
What was your first grade teacher’s name… and what were they like?
How much did you have to rattle your brain to retrieve that info?
(feel free to post answers in comments)
many thanks to missv for this tidbit –
Lunch meeting went well, coving call not too bad.
Monday meeting this morning. Blech.
First day of school for most kids in this region.
Susie is working Friday nights now as bartender… that shuffled Mariah to thurdaysa, and Melissa right off the schedule… not cool, even if Susie is a total doll. Melissa got fairly hosed out of the deal. The New Weekend manager is Larry’s Ex-wife, and seems ok, but Gil is still my fave.
Random Scotto factoid: I say thank you to automatic doors. Also, in the morning, when I’m the first one to the building, I’ll gesture with my hand forward, and trip the mechanism while saying “Sim-sim-sala-bim!”
