8594 – these are the life-forms in my neighborhood.

Moment of Lyric – youtube

When I wake up in de mornin’ I’m still asleep.
I really don’t a want no toast.
I want no OJ, no tea, and no cereal.
It be a yogurt drink I’m wantin’ first.
Whoa, gimme YOP me mamma, smooooth,
YOP me mamma.
Gimme YOP me mamma, when de mornin’ come.
Gimme YOP me mamma.
YOP me mamma.
YOP for when de mornin’ come.


A few things that live where I work and play, and a more fronty-view pic of the haircut for those who’ve been asking.

haircut / porch newt / porch squirrel / mold1 / mold2 / spider1 / spider2

Random pic taken of m’self in the office. I was working on paperwork, and was feeling a little beetle-browed – so I figured I’d take a peek at m’self. I’m a little rougher than usual, due to the raw nose and tired eyes.

Of course, the first critter in question likely to be photographed is Newt. He’s a cutie, and always available for pictures. His tail always seems a trifle short for a cat his size. Maybe he sees a carp in the pond.

Squirrels use the porch banister as a little bridge to run from point to point… I’m glad it’s there, because I figure they’d be climbing the screens otherwise.

Two different types of mold or algae growing at work. I wonder if that’s why so many folks have coughs?

Also at work, a little further up the evolutionary scale, spiders. One was behind the server, and the other was in the ol’ office. Both got escorted outside, and released alive. I fear that I broke one of server-spidey’s legs.


Tussionex + Walgreens Mouth-breathers+ Neighborhood Health Insurance = a real hassle to get my ‘scrip. finally picked it up last night…. I had to wrestle with the pharmacy to prove that my insurance would pay for it. 40 minutes later, I paid $28 rather than $150 for the same bottle of ‘cough syrup’ if I didn’t have any insurance. It’s a crying shame when the consumer has to do all the legwork and arm-twisting, especially when they’re not feeling so hot to begin with.

8592 – t-minus 16 days.

I’m really glad that it’s October.


I sort of miss the days when 7-11s and grocery stores had comics on spinner racks. I think it’d be pretty keen if they at least carried annuals… did they quit doing so because of the “library factor” of kids coming in and reading and manhandling ’em but not buying, or is it that comics cost a couple of bucks now rather than 35¢?

Somehow, it seems like a comic book shouldn’t cost more than a king-sized candy bar. (Which is what, $1.25ish now, at the convenience store?)

I’ve heard rumors that Giant still carries comics, but Publix & Winn-Dixie surely don’t anymore.

My Lj reading list is suddenly full of women that are pregnant! (well, full in the sense of “four of them”) Congratulations to each and every one of ’em.


Watched Identity last night. Rather a tricky twist in there, but it was pretty interestingly done… I really didn’t see it coming. The journal aspect was pretty interesting.. and I wonder about how different the theatrical release is over the extended version I watched. Intuiting who the killer wasn’t too tough after that specific plot element was revealed, due to a noticeable absence after that point. I’m not too fond of the solution, but that’s just my politics about pleading insanity. Also, I’ve never liked that jiggly-eyed actor.


Matt pointed out to me that Monsters in My Pocket are back! I’ll have to see if any are banging around the local shops. The site’s out of the uk, so I’m not sure how good my odds are – the “Where to buy” section on the website says “coming soon”, but in Australia, it mentions k-mart and toys r us. Sort of like hero/horror clix without the fun bases. (warning, page is slow loading, and has sound)

I rather dig the monkey man (listed under maniacs)


Sounds like bhk and Tina had a great time in Quebec! I’m looking forward to pictures of mounties and beavers and moose and French street signs (“Rue d’ escargot” or whatnot) and the gals just havin’ fun.


I didn’t watch last night’s venture brothers.. I’m going to wait until the 2nd part of the finale airs next week.

8591 – Sunday Morning

Sweetie was digging all kinds of Vermont yesterday – Teddy bear factory, Mount Equinox, *pancakes*, lake champlain, maple everywhere from leaves to syrup! I wish I could be along for the ride, but I’d be a coughy-yucko addition this time, anyhow. We’re making plans to go again over the summer, maybe with Chris, Larry and Tina.


Chest / Nasal congestion was at its worst last night, but as dawn broke, I believe so did the fever. Cough is better and nose isn’t running so much. Slept most of the day away yesterday, and plan on doing the same today, in the hopes that I’ll be good to go back to work on Monday. Making lots of soup and garlic toast to keep fluids up and the more vampiric elements away while I doze on the futon, watching old movies on DVD, and swigging gallons of water.

from yahoo answers, a solution – Most spiders inject a digestive fluid into their prey and as a consequence, consume most of their meals as a liquid diet with little or no solids being ingested.

What very little gas is produced in their digestive tract seems to diffuse out of the alimentary canal without “flatulence.”


Meme – Flickr search for “Halloween” + your birth year. Mine is Halloween 1969, and my favorite is a toss-up between these two:

8590 – From the porch

Fatima likes the haircut… the response so far has been unanimously positive. Nobody has had anything even remotely negative to say about it.


Felix woos Whoopee – Felix the Cat has fun at a party at the Whoopee Club until the early hours of the morning. At home, his wife paces the floor while carrying a rolling pin. When Felix finally leaves at 3:30 a.m., he is so drunk that he sees the buildings sway with the music, and lamp posts and cars turn into strange creatures. When he gets home, Mrs. Cat has a surprise for him.


My sweetie’s on a road trip with her buddy this weekend… I keep forgetting how small the northeast is compared to Florida… driving from DC to NJ to VT is doable quick as a wink, compared to just going from Miami to Tallahassee. It sounds like they’re having a grand time – I look forward to the pictures they bring back.


I’m impressed at how well the last season of JLU was done… That’s how a show should end… strong and solid, not wheezing out the last dregs of its life. Good job on the Hawkman edge and Legion of Doom stuff.

My favorite elements were Toyman yo-yo vs Killer Frost (or Toyman Nerf vs Parademons, for that matter) , Grodd – “Why speak ill of the dead?” and a use of the New Gods that are actually worth something. (I was never really a fan of that Kirby-crew, despite my fondness for Kirby-tech like Mother Boxes and Boom Tubes)

8588- I Choo choo choose you.

Working the door for the fund raiser tonight – the captains party for the fishing tournament. It should be pretty entertaining.


R.A. Maguire cover art. I can’t get enough of this sort of pulp cover stuff… I may like the model photo shoots more than the covers themselves.


Especially for bhk – Bugs Bunny in Hillbilly Hare (1950)ytmnd -contains just the audio portion of the square dance, or below, for the whole cartoon.


“…Step right up, you’re doin’ fine,
I’ll pull your beard, you pull mine.
Yank it again, like you did before,
Break it up with a tug o’ war.

Now into the brook and fish for the trout,
Dive right in and splash about.
Trout, trout, pretty little trout,
One more splash and come right out…”

That’s for thanksgiving thoughts and good vibes in general.


Recent pictures from out back –

Iguana and Squirrel in a Mexican Standoff.

Newt talks to both of these folks. (though I think he’s more likely to side with the Iguana over the Squirrels.)


Moment of Lyric –

8587 – Newt is Seven today!

Happy Bornday Newtie! Feel free to peek in on him and say howdy!


Free rides on tri-rail today notification was a bit late, and on a poorly chosen day… but why look a gift ticket in the mouth?

Just go to Tri-Rail’s Website at www.tri-rail.com, then print out a voucher that will let you ride the commuter train anywhere between Miami and West Palm Beach for free all day today, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2006.

The giveaway is designed to mark national Communities in Motion Day, an annual promotion mounted by the American Public Transportation Association to promote the use of mass transit and to educate the public about its benefits.


Watched Ultimate Avengers wasn’t too bad, but I really prefer JLU. I never did see season 5, and I’m pretty impressed! Deadman episode, Warlord Episode, redone Carter Hall, Legion of Doom, a Flash Rogues Gallery episode… pretty nice way to exit with a bang.


Most enlightening quote overheard yesterday – “libertarians — people who think roads just happen”

Of course, that’s a bottled way of saying what Brooke Shelbey Biggs says… “Libertarianism is uninformed capitalist greed in civil-rights clothing” and that there are “a few issues libertarians tend to ignore when talking about the promise of a future without government interference: inherent cultural disadvantage and affirmative action; public-works projects like freeways for all those new-money Jags around Silicon Valley; funding for the arts; child-abuse prevention and intervention; medical care for the elderly; and too many more to list”.

A lot of criticism… especially since I go along with the basic premise of “be nice, let people do what they want for the most part, as long as they don’t hurt someone else that doesn’t want to be hurt.”


Feeling the beginnings of a case of bronchitis, I think. Coughing is getting worse, as is muscle soreness and increased tiredness – possibly a minor fever, too? CC at work sighed, tsked or clucked with maximum histrionics every time I cough, which makes me laugh… and made me cough a bit more as a result. I had a pretty bad jag at about 10pm last night, so I’m heading to the doctor if I can get in this morning.

8585 – Midweek!

Note to self – doodle a green couch in the woods.


Newton *really* likes the smell of Twizzlers rainbow twists.


All caught up on House, now, psp tv duty is Justice League and Arrested Development. (Thanks, Podtropolis!) – useful for folks with iPods or other portable video gizmos.


If I don’t have your snail-mail address (or, even if you think I do) please email it to me. (to scottobear@gmail.com is fine ) I’m getting warmed up for a snail-mail session.


Film Threat has a 24-minute promo version of the 1997 Justice League of America pilot available for download.


Not too keen on most the recent venture brothers. Scooby parody wasn’t my fave, though Brock’s “tapestry of quiet desperation” was ok, I guess. “We Shut your third GD eye for a reason!”
