8356 – and now, Weaver with the weather –

Wow.. just got hailed on, big time. I’d say it was dime-sized here, but it was loud and highly entertaining.

at what point do they stop referring to size based on currency, and move on to sports equipment and fruit? Anything bigger than a quarter? Is a 50-cent piece bigger in diameter than a golf ball?

Here’s the report –

Walkabout was pleasantly fruitful. I’ve got a touch of color on my face, put in a solid bout of workout, a comfortable, but long10ish mile meander. I need to get some new shoes. Remembered to wear my ballcap today, so the sun didn’t scald me too badly.

8353 – Mamma’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers!

Well, Momster and Wilt are pretty sick and out of commission, so that frees up my Sunday brunch schedule. Walkies it is! I’m not going to dine out this morning, because I know it’s pretty much a universal restaurant crowd sort of holiday. It just means I can go to a non-mommy-type place with relative ease today… maybe a movie?


Had a lovely long phone talk yesterday, to make more vacation plans, but we ended up simply chitty-chatting… that was quite nice, too.


An Alien Saucer is hovering overhead. A cone of coherent lime green light erupts from the bottom center of the craft, and strikes a man walking down the street.

He vanishes with a flash, and a popping sound of air rushing to fill the void where he once was.

Poll inspired by this video. (quicktime, via)


Moment of Lyric – mp3

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!

8351 – Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, a Day of Rest!

Got together with Kev last night, did a classic fart party at my place… pizza, caught up on gossip and family, and watched the extended version of buckaroo banzai. I think that he’ll do quite well to be away from his siblings and in-laws for a year. Newt was pretty talkative…he smelled Kev’s Zoo, and was investigating him the whole time, alternately nuzzling, sniffing, and bipping.


Yesterday morning when I left for work, the smell of ozone was in the air, and thunder in the distance. I put my palm, cell phone and digicam in a sealed plastic bag, and went to the stop with umbrella as a walking-stick. Before I cleared the D building, it was coming down in sheets. By the time I made it to the bus stop, I was soaked through, save for a circle of only semi-wet the size of my bumbershoot coverage. My natural body-heat dried most of me out, save for socks and shoes, which squished throughout the day. Not the most fun feeling, and I really couldn’t take ’em off, because I had some dog & pony shows / trainings to do. I was more than delighted to be free of those foot-bindings once I arrived home.

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) told her caucus members during their weekly closed meeting Wednesday that impeachment is off the table; she is not interested in pursuing it.

Dear Ms. Pelosi, kiss my ass. If it’s your job to assist in prosecution of folks that commit crimes, then assist. If they don’t find any crimes, then state that fact, clear their good name and move on to doing your fricking job elsewhere.

When I was little, I wished I could accurately throw a quarter hard enough to explode cinder block. Come to think of it, I wouldn’t mind having that ability now. Why did I want to explode cinder block? I don’t remember.

8346 – Tuesday? It feels like Friday. Or Saturday.

Ok, so it turns out form my blood test that I’m allergic to a number of foods that I’m pretty partial to, and I have to do another sleep study to see what’s up with my snoozles.

Allergist tomorrow. Sleep study Friday or Saturday, whenever they can fit me in. See what my options are.

Meanwhile I’m cutting into my bedtime even earlier than usual, and charging my batteries as best I can.

More to Follow later, of course.


Moment of Lyric- mp3

I don’t mind you comin’ here
And wastin’ all my time
’cause when you’re standin’ oh so near
I kinda lose my mind
It’s not the perfume that you wear
It’s not the ribbons in your hair
I don’t mind you comin’ here
And wastin’ all my time

8345 – My brain feels the size and disposition of 5th century Mongolia.

Sleep brings colors to my mind that mean nothing to the human eye.


Minor confession – When I log into multi-player shooters, If I wish to be the antagonist of the other players, I have an ID known as “Chapeau Noir”, and I type messages in a pseudo-French accent.

“AW-haw haw! Zee worm has turn-ed, has it not, monsieur?” Otherwise, If I’m playing but not looking to antagonize anti-frenchies, I’m just plain ol’ Scotto or Scottobear.


Woke up from sleep, and had a weird feeling that I was isolated…and that there was a hurricane coming. I was feeling a bit more panic that I do when a Hurricane is *really* coming. It passed a short time after I started the shower… very little trepidation now, though if I didn’t have the doc’s appointment later in the day, I probably would’ve called in sick to work. Since the office is right up the street, I’ll see how I do this morning. Still having some hot flashes, but no stuffy nose/cough or whatnot sort of symptoms.

I wonder if it’s a side effect of reading – Sketches of a catastrophe – Miami Herald’s Hurricane info.

  • Your best bet: Plan for the worst
  • When will we see the next Andrew? Data can confuse
  • Electricity and other utilities

  • Inland flooding
  • My biggest concern is a lack of clean water and electricity for *months* should a bad one hit. I can stock up on food, and I feel that my building is pretty sturdy.

    Moment of lyric – mp3

    Cut the fat off the back of a baboon
    Boil it down to a pound into the spoon
    Scoop the eye from a fly flying backwards
    Take the jaws and the paws off a ‘coon
    Take your time, I ain’t lyin’ for good cookin’
    Cause the rest of this mess ain’t good lookin’
    Take the fleas from the knees of a demon
    Tell your pals and gals and come screamin’
    To the feast with the beast of the Mau Maus
    They make wine from the spine of their bulldogs
    They dance and romance for 90 days
    It’s a test for the best for who stays
    at the feast with the beast of the Mau Maus

    Brush your teeth with a piece of a goose toenail
    After death steal a breath of a drunk in jail
    Pull the skin off your friend with a razor blade
    And tonight change tomorrow and bring back yesterday
    Shake your hip, bite your lip, and shoot your mother-in-law
    Put on your gorilla suit, drink some elbow soup and have a ball
    Get it straight, don’t be late, it’s time for mad fun
    Take off your shoes, and cook onion stew
    They have really begun!

    Feast of the Mau Maus has begun
    At the feast with the beast of the Mau Maus
    They make wine from the spine of their bulldogs
    they dance and romance for 90 days
    It’s a best of a test for who stays
    And a feast with the beast of the Mau Maus
    Yes, we’ll have a good time.
    C’mon and have a good time. *snort-laugh*

    The dishonor of Blue Security

    There was quite a bit of teeth gnashing across the web throughout the evening yesterday as TypePad, LiveJournal, and all the other hosted Six Apart websites went dark; we learned late in the night that the cause was a “sophisticated distributed denial of service attack” against the sites. Digging a little deeper, though, it doesn’t look like this is a particularly accurate description of what happened — but instead of this being a case of the folks at Six Apart trying to cover up some internal issue, it instead looks like they’re being far too gracious in not revealing more about another company, Blue Security, which appears to have been responsible for the whole disaster. An explanation of this requires a slight bit of background.
