yoinked from christin

Ok, are you sick of all these surveys that are obviously made by teenagers, with questions like “Have you ever stayed out all night?” Who cares? Well, I guess when you’re 14 that’s a big deal. So here is a survey for adults cause there are some of us out there you know.

For the adults: Continue reading 8014 – I’m not as old as some, but older than others.

Geotarget1. What’s your favorite radio station?

Well, internet radio… Country fried hot rod is pretty fun.I’m also currently jamming to X-entertainment’s Christmas Mix

2. How would you describe the format?

Rockabilly,  Hillbilly, & 50’s stuff, and the othe ris Some great holiday-themed stuff. PeeWee Herman and Charo, Pogues, and more.

3. Do you think satellite radio will become commonplace, like subscribing to cable TV?

I suspect so, but it will probably have a much more limited appeal.

4. Have you thought about buying a satellite radio subscription?

Yes, but I’ve also thought about having inflatable hair that you can tie like balloon animals. That doesn’t mean I want it.

5. When is the last time you said goodbye?

To Newt this morning, before AM launch. Well, I actually said “Later, Tater,” but I meant goodbye.

8012 – My brain is full of spiders, and I’ve got garlic in my soul.

GeotargetWoo! 10 gigs of storage! Nice. Thanks, LJ!


DSL kicked in last night, so I should be able to post pictures without going to Crabby Jack’s. I’ll still visit here and there for funzies, though. Now, to get big brain up and a runnin’.

GeotargetYesterday was Monkey day *and* Kong opened. I missed both. Ook. Ook. I Don’t think there were any gorillas in the Narnia movie. Curious.


LJ comments are still taking their sweet time to get to me. I think most of the old ones have made it, but some current ones are still suffering logjam, it seems.


Still no big computer or DSL… what the heck?! C’mon, folks! *whine whine* I should count my blessings.. world hunger, evil dictators and quadriplegics… and I want to play video games. Tsk, Scotto.

GeotargetSpent two hours with the condo commandos last night to get a signature on a form that would otherwise have cost me $100.

I figure I got paid $50 an hour to listen to old folks talk about vodka, strokes and building maintenance. Not a bad deal, really. Entertaining.


Critical Miami gets Dooced before he’s even started work. Sometimes, it just doesn’t pay to keep a journal with opinions online… I’m glad his old employer took him back.


Kong opens today… I’lll probably catch it this weekend.


I’ve discovered that I’m more than moderately good at juggling… or I was really in the zone yesterday. Newt really wants to chase beanbags.

We’re a couple of misfits, we’re a couple of misfits, what’s the matter with misfits, that’s where we fit in
We’re not daffy or dilly, don’t go ’round willy nilly, seems to us kind of silly, that we don’t fit in
We may be diiferent from the rest, who decides the test of what is really best
We’re a couple of misfits, we’re a couple of misfits, what’s the matter with misfits, that’s where we fit in!

GeotargetNew Sam & Max game! I love those guys.. the TV cartoon really did them no justice.


Showing my age… I remember getting the Atari 2600 for Christmas. Combat Rocked, adventure was fun, but not nearly so much as tanks or planes duking it out. 1978 was a good year. I was 9 years old, Star Wars had come out recently, and I was still high off of living in Richmond, VA… Visiting the Smithsonian as well as other museums and and historical monuments was a regular event… maybe twice a month or so. That Atari was durable… lasted a good decade of regular use. Even at 18 I still liked to drag it out and play asteroids or moon patrol. I got into the consoles a bit, but the intellivision and colecovision didn’t do it for me. They had better graphics, but worse gameplay. By the time the first nintendo came on the scene, I was more interested in hanging out with my buddies than Mario or Luigi. Probably one of the most durable investments in a holiday present ever.. $200 in 1977… well worth the $20 a year for entertainment, not counting the extra carts. (I tended to buy an additional game every 3 months or so, plus Christmas/Birthday got to be easy for a while.) I’d guess that I had about 50 cartridges by the time I was through, and I’d estimate 47 of them were well-played and loved. (I was not fond of the E.T., Sneak’n Peak or Indiana Jones games… but they were the rare exception to the rule. Yar’s Revenge, Ms Pac-man, and Joust more than made up for them.


Moment of Lyric – mp3

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
