8993 – sun
I got off to a bad start this morning… all fumblethumbs and confusion.
troubles across the spectrum – back, hip, lungs, foot, headache, toothache.
BHK was very patient with me.
Quick like a wink – the day in review
art fest – got a picture of a luna moth, enjoyed the grounds and sculpture more than the quite excellent kettle corn and craftwork. more pics below.
Mexico for late lunch
did some apple picking at the blue house
had a nap
cheese and crackers for dinner
watched Ramsey’s Kitchen nightmares
Started watching Yo-yo Girl Cop
Gave up and posted – then off to bed
super tired, but cough kept me sitting up for a bit.
1 year ago – on-call issues, Charley Varrick, veggie corn dogs better toasted, superspy, talkr
2 years ago – Friday plans?, ignis fatuus, flickr toys, graffiti board
3 years ago – sin city preview, goodbye romania, spambots, team rocket, dark tower, mt dew poo, cej in from the rain, palm doctor trip pics
4 years ago – apple jacks, skulls, orisinal cats, belly dance
5 years ago – fun with fonts.
6 years ago – coloring book, newt pics, drug poll
7 years ago – javamental and mocha
8992 – sat
Bluegrass festival was fun, save for some folks seated in front of us that preferred to have a loud, beer-fueled discussion about the bands on stage rather than just drinking and listening.
Highlights were – Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain – Carrie has some crazy windswept hair going on, and is sponsored by Moon Pies ! Free Moon Pie at Bluegrass fest? How was there not a riot? Most everyone (save for the drunkie mentioned earlier)
Blue Highway put on the best performance, I think, though Larry says (and I’ll buy his expertise on this) that Mountainheart was the most technically able.
Country Gentlemen and Good Deale put on a fine show, as well. Lots of fantastic dobro work, especially.
There’s something to be said for groups not big enough for a massive following to team up and bring a whole day of music to the area. A pity Alison Krauss wasn’t there – if she had been, I think it’d have just been icing on the cake. I guess that’s the price of fame… you can tour on your own.
BHK caught this fellow on camera – a true fan.
The chucklehed below was the aforementioned drunkie talker
Assorted unfiled – will come back to mention sprite lady, delmarva guy, and so on.

Thinking good thoughts for mootpoint, Mol, and Dominic.
Payday! Just in time, as BHK and I both got to the doc and I get a pair of fillings on my right side. BHK’s teeth are jim-dandy… remember to floss!
I grabbed this from yoames / phillykat / pilarcruz and countless others.
1. Go to http://www.careercruising.com/.
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their “Career Matchmaker” questions.
4. Post your top ten results.
Here’s mine – (I kept going, to answer all the questions. My first pass had a lot more computer/social worker stuff)
- Epidemiologist – Sounds interesting, but I don’t have *any* solid training for it. Could come in handy for the coming zombie apocalypse… or preventing one! Best case, already in a clean house-type bunker. Worst case, that’s where the epidemic starts. I guess if I worked for a villain, before dying, I could at least say that I worked in a lair fashioned inside of a dormant volcano, under the sea in a bubble-city, or from a satellite lab in high-earth orbit.
- Oceanographer – I still haven’t finished reading Fluke, but I do enjoy marine biology. I imagine the optimal life doing that sort of thing… maybe like an idyllic remake of the Flipper TV or Jonny Quest. Living in the keys, fighting pirates, discovering sea-monsters, etc. Would I get a hydrofoil and cool gadgets?
- Anthropologist – Humans are pretty fascinating critters. I suspect that I’d be more interested in this than Oceanographer. Field work at the ocean would be more palatable to me, though. Again with the Jonny Quest. Maybe with a little less or Race Bannon’s “Take that, you heathen savages!” I will, however accept bad guys that die with a scream of “AIeeee!” as they fall from a cliff, get disemboweled by Yeti, or are shot by whatever helpful bodyguard/guide-types are along for the ride.
- Writer – I try to do that here and again, but the time factor keeps popping up. I really need to devote an hour a day to it, and I simply don’t have the will to set aside the time to do it properly. I’ll always love doing it, but I’d have to have a way to support myself and my family if it were my full-time gig. I know quite a few writers, both professional, “wannabe” pro, and strong amateur, most of them very talented at word-craft. Given the amount of junk writing that’s out there, I’m fairly confident that I could find a niche with the right publicist. Also would be handy for “Murder, HE wrote” mysteries later in life. If Angela Lansbury can do it, so can I.
- Botanist – I do like plants. Do I like ‘em enough to make them my life? Not sure. The Sea and Humans certainly have more of my interest. Now, if it were the phytoplankton people from Atlantis, I guess I’d be set… especially if they need some Research done on their databases. see below. I know what happens to Botanists. Ask Jason Woodrue, Ted Sallis, Alec Holland, Pam Isley, or any of dozens of folks turned into plant-critters, green psychos, pod people or muck-encrusted mockeries of men. Maybe when pot is legal, or if I lived on the planet Mardru.
- Library Technician – been there, done that. Fun and rewarding if you surround yourself with the right people. (true of most any job, really) It can be pretty thankless, and while I like books, I’m a far stretch from Burgess Meredith in that Twilight Zone episode.
- Historian – So very variable. Some parts of the past are amazing… other bits are deadly dull. Plus, the pay issue again- I imagine it’s difficult to live on the average historian’s wages. How do I become an authority?
- Researcher – If I could make any good, livable wage doing this for an organization that wasn’t a super-villain, I’d probably dig it. Depends on the research, though… do I really want data about women’s shoe sizes, and how they compare to hemlines? Fairly close to historian, Above. Job description is too vague.
- Database Developer – Heck, that’s a chunk of what I’m doing in my gig right now! I enjoy the challenges and solving the puzzles that arise in most of the larger builds that I’ve had to do.
- Multimedia Developer – I’ve dabbled with this… seems like a very competitive field to get a gig that’s worthwhile.
Web Developer, Systems Programmer and such all appear in the top 40, further down the list.
Limited edition Raspberry M&M’s are pretty good. Not amazing, but not too shabby. I prefer the holiday mint ones….and wouldn’t mind if they did orange-chocolate M’s.
Getting this entry out of the way early, as I don’t forsee much computer time tonight… see two lines up. I’m looking forward to a nice evening of Movies and games in our little treehouse loft, or in the living room. (depending on our desire to watch stuff on the laptop or the dvd player.
[edit – Strike that, we had Chinese at in-laws and watching “Because I said so”. Maybe Games and yo-yo tomorrow!]
Until Saturday-ish, dear journal!
1 year ago – goodies, 008 is landon, kill windows nag, mr t – be somebody, rfjason – wtf prank, kitty combo
2 years ago – Red Thread, Postcard, walking weather, work, 2nd life, battersea
3 years ago – visit meme, case against voodoo, freeflow thought, Mexico Wal-mart Protest
4 years ago – Newt-vet, shoutcast, tiny cities, Why I dislike leiberman, Frankie mooches again, Turkish Hairballs
5 years ago – Lots of robots, World Affairs, palm art
6 years ago – Shocked awake, Nostia, folks scamming relief, weather, programming, lovely chat
7 years ago – Pompano Weather, Warghetz, Suzy News, Censorship, Loved

Games and Comics and Stuff (4/5)
Nice place. Smaller than some in the area, but bigger than most. There are a sweet collection of games – Brands running from Cheapass and Looney Labs to Rio Grande. Along the back wall is a collection… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
