8369 – Behold, the Magnificent MAN-BEAR!

Ran out of steam yesterday…worked late, and it sort of trimmed an hour and a half off my evening schedule… tucked in at about eleven, and though I was tied, it felt like it was only about 9:30.


Midweek. Next week, I have Monday off from the office, but will have to take call all day. Mixed blessing.


Contemplating good books to read aloud to another. The Hobbit is a good one, but recently read.

Reminds me of a quote… There are worse crimes than burning books – One of which is not reading them.

Nice phone time with MM. I’m looking increasingly forward to the top of July… it’ll be here before I know it! I hope Newtie’s on better behavior than he was with Kev. I may be heading to Dragon*Con at the top of September this year, too, if everything works out as well as I hope.


Bad Phone time with Bro. looking to mooch – asked about places to sell plasma.. I don’t sell it, I donate it. wanted to drive me around for gas money… I told him it’d cost him more in gas to drive his truck up here. He needs to just get the heck out of Hollywood.. every time he goes there, he goes back into his old patterns.

Leave your name and:
1. I’ll respond with something random about you
2. I’ll challenge you to try something
3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on yours

Okay, 8 is totally optional.


Added Bonus, Sedef will be in town in September, and hopefully the Weezle, too!!


Glad I waited on watching last week’s Dr Who with this week’s…. a two parter. Quite well done, too. Hooray for Zeppelins, Parallel Earths and Cybermen! (The Term “Maximum deletion” is rather silly, though.)


I’m going to give Tarpo’s scavenger hunt a try next weekend. (I’d prefer to be going to Balticon, but that doesn’t look likely, with work and such… My boy EN is off to Idahos, so I’ve got to snag his shifts if I can’t fob them off on anyone else.)


Moment of Lyric – mp3

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She’s a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She’ll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they’ll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!
Well she’ll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she’ll stick ’em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is… Oh tell me where can she be?
Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu…!
Well she glides around the globe and she’ll flimflam every nation,
She’s a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary’s loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Ah, my idea for a coffee bomb has been reproduced in nature. Those Wolfgang Puck self-heating lattes are being recalled. Sometimes they catch fire, explode, and/or dump the heating chemicals into the coffee itself. It seems one can in five is bad.

Historical Sounds in MP3 Format Nifty to hear Albert Einstein and Tomas Edison’s Actual voices. Ghandi’s voice is very unusual. Some oddball choices in there, like “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”, too.

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
Its fun to lose
And to pretend
Shes overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word

Hello (x 16)

With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us

A mosquito

8365 – two muffins are in the oven together, slowly baking.

Nice time out with mental_circles and an assortment of other lj-folks – Was surprised to see grrwoo there (I hadn’t seen him since ldy last in town, a couple of years ago), not as surprised to see sammystudio, and met some keen new folks in newbabel (Frank), _chandra (Chandra), home_grown_cl (Carol Lynn) and hedache (Baruk). Light convo and dumb jokes abounded over at the kids side of the table, good cheer was had by all – surprisingly little drama considering the diversity of lj-folks. A guitarist playing 70’s hits was faint but pleasant background noise. There were three tardy arrivals, whose names are eluding me now, in the haze of the morning light. They were cool, too, but on the other side of the table’s horizon, so regular convo with them was more difficult. Anyhow, I had a nice time at the “kids table”. Tina’s haircut is much cuter in person.

I’ll post pics later on, when I can be bothered to get up and go to the other room to get the camera. [edit:added.]

8364 – Cleaning the apt time!

Saw Ray I. out in the parking lot at work yesterday. He seems to be doing well, looks healthy and has been married 4 years now. It seems he’ splaying D&D online regularly.


Is it wrong of me to be in support of Robbie Rotten on Lazytown?

I want to be a lazy scout. (At Least today.)


Moment of Lyric – mp3

I really like the song mostly just for the yeah yeahs and the riffs, but here’ the lyrics, anyhow.

If you could blow up the world with the flick of a switch
Would you do it?
If you could make everybody poor just so you could be rich
Would you do it?
If you could watch everybody work while you just lay on your back
Would you do it?
If you could take all the love without giving any back
Would you do it?
And so we cannot know ourselves or what we’d really do…

With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?

If you could make your own money and then give it to everybody
Would you do it?
If you knew all the answers and could give it to the masses
Would you do it?
No no no no no no are you crazy?
It’s a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want
Because you cannot know yourself or what you’d really do

With all your power
With all your power
With all your power

Maybe visiting with mental_circles and other nifty folk to celebrate her b’day by having Mexican food and good cheer.

Possibly going to Fairchild today to smell a stinky, but lovely tuber. Not sure if I want to drop $20 to smell rotting meat, but how often does one get to see something like that? This year’s bloom is currently at 7’1″ / 100lbs.

8362 – Sweet dreams last night… rude awakening today.

Happy 6th birthday, dear journal!

Went Clothes shopping yesterday, and got some pretty snazzy duds (if I do say so m’self), most notable was a fresh pair of walking sneakers, and some boxer-briefs. I’ve never had this type of strange hybrid undies before, and so far, they’re quite comfy. Not sure if I prefer ’em to regular boxers, yet.

Much like that first entry, I don’t have much to say, at the moment. I’m dashing out the door, and running wicked late. More ot follow this evening, I imagine.

Have a wonderful day, dear journal.


Pretty proud of the company’s track record the last week or so… we went from 143 to 151 successful recoveries over the course of 7 days. That kind of bog of paperwork, I can cope with.


Moment of Lyric – mp3

I certainly haven’t been shopping for any new shoes
And I certainly haven’t been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot it’s a slow climb
But I’m good at being uncomfortable so I can’t stop changing all the time

I noticed that my opponent is always on the go
And won’t go slow so as not to focus and I notice
He’ll hitch a ride with any guide as long as they go fast from whence he came
But he’s no good at being uncomfortable so he can’t stop staying exactly the
same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can’t help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I’ll make the most of it I’m an extraordinary machine

8361 – Who’s that baby trading walnuts for gold?

Feeling lazy, but going to work. Dang ethic!


I’ve got tentative plans to have MM over to my place on the 4th of July weekend! I need to plan out some fun Florida host-type activites…. see who’ll be at Revolution and maybe a day trip to Vizcaya/Art/Science Museums. Metrozoo? Monkeys?

It’ll be nice.. first time I’ve had a houseguest at the new place, and I’m very excited!


Bro going to court in June over shoplifting charges. *cough* DUMBASS *cough* A flashlight from office depot.

8358 – compelled to move on to workies.

Had to take call part of Sunday night.. threw my Monday schedule totally out of whack. Lots of work needed doing, and I got the bulk of it done… mostly sweep-up today, with paperwork, I expect.

Tar cart detail… the wheel and everything is totally coated. stinky, smoky, icky stuff. IT’ll keep me and my stuff dry come the next hurricane.

office window hail

Hail weather.. 20 minutes prior, there were clear skies, and sunshine. I was fortunate to get a lift home, rather than trudging through that to the bus stop.


Power Records Plaza – provides the book and record version of the Justice League theme. Ouch. I still sort of dig Metamorpho’s though.



Maj. Gen. Horatio Gordon Robley & Maori heads
Originally uploaded by pantufla.

At first, I thought the heads were cut out photos. But nope, they’re real heads.

Major General Horatio Gordon Robley’s ethnographic book Maori Tattooing has been the standard reference on Moko, or the Maori art of face and body tattooing, ever since it was published in 1896. Dover recently reprinted it. The above photograph of Major General Robley with his collection of tattooed Maoria heads comes from Medicine Man,a gorgeous book about Henry Wellcome’s museum of curios


Moment of Lyric – mp3

Here we are stuck by this river
You and I underneath a sky
That’s ever falling down down down
Ever falling down

Through the day as if on an ocean
Waiting here always failing to remember
Why we came came came
I wonder why we came

You talk to me as if from a distance
And I reply with impressions chosen
From another time time time
From another time.
