My new street number is 777, and as a result, the Pixie’s “this monkey’s gone to heaven” is echoing a bit inside my brain. Also, that was the year that Charlemagne beat the Saxons and Widukind fled to Denmark.
Speaking of Monkeys… Kong – King of Atlantis Wha?
Kong’s demise was legend, his rebirth a well guarded secret. Using DNA from the original, a new Kong was born–gigantic and primal with increased strength and ability. The new Kong is no ordinary ape–through an amazing cyber-link, Kong and his human “brother” Jason can merge into one. When an ancient prophecy starts to come true, the sunken city of Atlantis begins to rise. The evil Queen Reptilla plans to take this opportunity to trick Kong into becoming her King, using him as her slave to unite the warring clans of Atlantis for her own evil gains. In a race against time, Jason must convince Kong that Queen Reptilla is evil, in the hope that together they can save the island and its inhabitants. Join Kong as he struggles between a sense of duty to his home and friends and the allure of an amazing world, where extraordinary beasts and beings wait to honor and serve him as King of Atlantis!
Ah, that explains it.
Probably my favorite Christmas Song: (From the Christmas special 1977.. I was 8) – little drummer boy : david bowie & bing crosby. mp3 format, full version
7949 – first entry from my new place.
Danny was a *huge* help when it came to the move. I couldn’t have done it without him. He is truly master of all things. (according to his fortune cookie, anyhow.)
Breakfast of blueberry muffins and cold water this morning. Nice christening of the house.
No DSL yet at the new place, and my repair shop told me what I already knew… dead IDE and drives on Bigger brain. Thank goodness for warranty, as I need a new motherboard and pair of Hard drives. Downside is that the parts will take about a week, and all old data on there is toast. A lot of movies that hadn’t been yet burned to DVD were lost, but easily recovered. I’m thankful that most of my sentimental pictures and movies are saved online as well as locally. I’ve got a lot of stuff to reinstall, Newtcam and etc once it gets back home.
Lucky for me Lappie works fine, even on dialup! I just called Bellsouth, and it looks like I’m without DSL until 12/16 “thanks to the hurricane”. I call shenanigans on that, but it’s not a big deal until I get bigger brain up and running anyhow.
Newt is enjoying all of the new surfaces, and already know how to use the bathroom. Nice comfy evening on the new bed.
No pictures until I find a wireless point to toss images from the palm, but I’m taking before and after shots as the place comes together.
John Lennon – Happy Xmas (War Is Over) – mp3 format
7948 – last entry from my old place
Meal with Momster, Wilt, Rosmary and Yizzy went well… unfortunately bro could not come with us. I ate to bursting, and napped for an hour when I got home. After the nap, I procrastinated for a bit, by surfing the net on borrowed wireless and gave big snuggies to the newtster rather than stack boxes right away. at about 7 I went to final packing proper,and once I hear form Danny, I’ll know when we’ll be picking up the truck and trying move #2 in earnest.
Rosemary (Wilt’s sis) is pretty cool, my first meeting with her. Yizzy is ok, a bit on the cheapskate side.
Bro was baker acted yesterday, after meeting the psych. He’s now in a ward without a phone, but they can bring one to him. He tried to check out with his injuries and they made him stick around.
Apparently, some local “friends” have his stuff, even though he is supposed to be out of Hollywood. I suspect that he’s totally back to where he was before, and is ashamed to tell me. All I really want is for him to be healthy, but even that seems to be a bit of a stretch.
[update- he was released on his own about 10am this morning]

Random Scotto factoid – Left over church training makes me think to respond to “May the force be with you” with – “And also with you”.
Songs that give thanks-
ABBA – Thank You For the Music
Celine Dion – Because You Loved Me
Also, the lame joke of just saying “GRACE!” loud and as the before meal prayer still makes me laugh.
how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I’m full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo
thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence
how bout me not blaming you for everything
how bout me enjoying the moment for once
how bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
how bout grieving it all one at a time
thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence
the moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
the moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down
how bout no longer being masochistic
how bout remembering your divinity
how bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
how bout not equating death with stopping
thank you india
thank you providence
thank you disillusionment
thank you nothingness
thank you clarity
thank you thank you silence
7945 – “To Jack Dillinger and hope he is still alive. Thanksgiving Day November 28th 1986”
Doing better this Thanksgiving over last year.
Bro’s not in jail, just the hospital, so he’s doing better, too.Maybe he can get some sort of useful rehab?
Getting together with Momster and Wilt for a midday TG buffet. Good deal. She doesn’t cook, and I don’t have to do dishes.
Random Scotto Factoid: I left home during Thanksgiving when I was 17. Weird to think that was over half my life ago.
If my father had lived, Saturday would’ve been his 60th birthday.
Happy Thanksgiving, Burroughs style: mp3

Talked to bro in the hospital, and his story is that he was horsing around on a bike, and managed to hork himself but good on the handlebars… he’s been in the hospital for the last 3 days, and may be released today or tomorrow. He’s going to talk to a psych today about getting some help too.. he didn’t ‘fess up about being with his old crew, but did admit that every time he goes to Hollywood, he gets hurt.
I wonder if he got beaten up? The story has varied a few times during the course of the convo.

Hm… Lj hasn’t been sending me replies since they moved the server. The Lj-mooks are blaming yahoo and gmail, but I suspect the issue is on the lj-side like it was the last couple of times over the years.
Weather is supposed to drop down to the 50s tonight.Ol’ Newtie boy will likely duck under the covers and play at looking like a nun in a wimple rather than a poofed-out chilly-cat. Lucky for him that I’m a human space-heater. Waves of warm-scottoness keep him toasty, but he may complain a bit when I get out of bed before he is ready.
Got Liz trained in how to do sex pred alerts, but I’ll be surprised if I see her last into 2006 at the org. Weird vibe at work yesterday, and folks were a bit skittish. VS wasn’t looking that happy, despite the fact that she had the most successful fund raiser for the org *ever* on Friday night.
I dreamt that both of my feet were broken and that they had to be amputated. Let’s not be prophetic on this one, ok? I really don’t want any useful or fun pieces of me cut off, if it can be helped.
