9706 – thursday –

Last day at the Gig. Folks were nice, and many were surprised that I was heading out. No hard feelings anywhere – lots of kind words and sentiment.

I’ll miss some of the folks there – but I’ll see more than a couple on facebook here and there for contact – and I’ll likely go to the crab feast in July, too. (I won’t miss the commute at all!)

9705 – Wednesday

Saw Franklin – working his litter area – he’s obviously still eating quite well. He’s good at digging a deep hole and covering it up, too- unlike a certain orange cat who will remain Newton.

also saw Franklin’s not-named buddy on the way home.

Found an old pic I had that made me think of miniMAX –

Hard to believe that in less than 2 weeks, my LJ will be 9 years old, and that’ll mean that I’ve been doing this online journal-type thing at least semi-regularly for about 12 years now.

9704 – Tuesday –

Cinco De Mayo… Cheers! We had ratatouille and baked potato for supper. (But the bagel I ate had jalapenos on it!)

Contemplating going to Bengie’s Drive-in this weekend. Triple feature of Fanboys, Monsters vs. Aliens and Star Trek a fun, dorky night.
I’m not sure though – I’d prefer to see MvsA in 3-d.

Talked to Danny on the phone tonight – he might be jumping into a game of Champions at his local game store this summer. 150 points – the store used to be the Dragon’s Lair, but it’s now Adventure something or another.

Bro sent me a text from his new phone – I’ll call him tomorrow and see how he sounds. I’m sure he’s happy to be out and about.

No Franklin again this morning – I noticed that the lawn was treated with chemicals – hopefully that kept him away, along with the cold, drizzly rain.


Pull in your tum,
stick out your tush,
wiggle your hips,
now give ’em a push

Godspeed, Captain Chaos


As I was starting to say, I’m glad it’s staying a bit rainy and cool outside… I’m probably the only one who is loving a little soft, cool rain over sun and heat. I’m a hairy, big beast… hm, an excuse for another old Ditko picture, I think, dear journal.

9703 – Monday –

Happy Cuatro De Mayo! BHK brought home a few fun things from the thrift store – Aztec statuary for the lawn – a temple, an Idol, and a terra-cotta dancer!

BHK drove me in to work today – made the transition the first day back a lot simpler. We scanned for Franklin, but it was raining. He isn’t as silly as the puff from yesterday – knows when to get out of the rain (unlike Pyewacket, who likes to stick his head under any faucet he can. Hurricane baby.

Some days, I feel a bit like Lennie from Of Mice and Men… I feel that I have to be extra gentle, just so I don’t demolish everything in my path. I don’t want to break any necks, either figuratively or otherwise.

I’m getting better about it, though. Today was exhausting, but I’m glad I’m back at my gig.

Big Bang was cute tonight – lots of nods to nerds, and dinner was a broad assortment of nibs and nabs… veggie spare ribs, taquitos, rice, jalepeno poppers, and edamame! very tasty, and I’m going to pop in a moment.

Sweet dreams, dear journal.
