HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Enjoy lots of candy, ghosts and goblins!
To celebrate, a picture I just took of Newt.
Why I’m happy to have a keyboard drawer…

assorted ramble…linkies and stuff
The newest Microsoft Advert thingum is scary. Mothman meets MSN. I think he wants to extend a huge proboscis and suck out my brain fluid. If I saw him coming, I don’t know what my first reflex would be… possibly fight or flight. It’s not better with the butterfly! I think it’d have worked better if they’d made it a buxom female “fairy-butterfly” thingie. Sex appeal, and not so intimidating.
Marshall McLuhan: “A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding…. I wonder how many people that are voting even know what all the issues are about. I’ll refrain from all the Florida voter jokes that might be out there. This is mostly for my own memories a few years down the line…
The Pokéthulhu Adventure Game third edition is free, and the free font of the month is ‘thulhuBats – A nice set of dingbats for the game.
rocky sleep last night… deep for two hours, then awake for about a half hour. I don’t remember my dreams, but I think the wake-ups were due to them. It was like flicking a switch…sleeping *snap* awake, then fade back to sleep again.
I’m running late, so I’ll have to make notes on the road. until later, dear journal!
Taken between 8:00 – 8:40 tonight.
two photos… cut for width, not speed. They’re about 90k each
Thinkin’ of mah baby in a dirndl. Hubba hubba.
I remember a horrid jacket that I got in a thrift store, ages ago… white with very wide salmon pink lapels. I wonder where it is now? Landfill? Some other weirdo teen? I would imagine that it had magical powers for being so hideous… like being able to telekinetically manipulate the hair of any haired being within my line of sight.
I remember when I was younger…it was three in the morning on the coldest night of the year…I’d just about finished building a device to keep a squad of fascistic ghosts from manifesting themselves in the land of the living…I realized that I needed a belt buckle to complete the machine, but not just any belt buckle would do… the pewter death’s head which held up the slacks of Moira, Prime Minister of Baboons. She didn’t part with it as willingly as I’d hoped… but that’s a story for another time. Suffice to say that I’m still around to tell the tale.
Protected: sweetheart only post…
Trillian’s been pesky the last couple of times I’ve tried yahooing, so I’m going back to the original on this system.
Got to spend some giggle time talking to my sweetie this morning, before work…she makes me smile, but our time was too short. Drat my having to go in! I still have an image in my head of BB with bright red boots on. I really enjoy it when we synch up. It’s my feeling that the autumn surge of creativity and wisdom will continue… My thoughts are of us together, and it makes me smile.
After I finish the belly dancer, I think the boys’ll be next. I need to trade for the pictured figure, and I think I can make a Newtie and a Blackie. Either that, or find some panther toys and paint them up, and put on a stand instead. I rather like the latter, for the serene look that they have.
Woke up early early this morning, despite hitting the sack late… dreams are forgotten with my eyes fully opening. I was back home from my constitutional and out of the shower by 9. I wonder how beat I’ll be come the end of today?
My sweetheart is well in the forefront of my mind this morning… Pleasant, loving thoughts.
got this floating all over the net… www.babynamer.com. Type your name in the right-hand side box, and then when the next page comes up, click ‘drawbacks’.
There are *no* drawbacks for Newton, though it does mention Newt as a Nickname. No Drawbacks on Prescott, but there were Drawbacks on Scott –
Scotty Potty
Scooter (I think that this one is fairly innocuous, too)
Scottie Tissues
Snot
Squirt
Scott Pot (Never seen)
Scott Tot (Dan’s Used That one)
Scotty Snotty
Slot
Scottie the Hottie (My Sweetheart’s used a variant… Not a drawback, in my opinion)
Squawty Scotty
Gotta go to the Potty Scotty
Scooter Pie
Scott Twat (That’s a new one!)
Associations:
”Scotty” is a slang term for crack cocaine.
”Beam me up, Scotty,” a catchphrase from Star Trek, refers to transporting someone as a stream of matter.
The morning Newt… featuring a nice cat-loaf variant.. the tadpole.
maybe a step-by step, for this one?
oh! belly-dancer fig, before modification…
hmm… coin bra? colors? so much to decide!
have to get rid of the sai, though… maybe a sword or a sash? so many decisions…
Making a bed and wrestling Newt at the same time is a tricky proposition, at best. Once the bottom sheet’s down, however, it’s a good deal simpler. It’s rare that he lets me totally cover him with the comforter, but sheets seem to work ok.
He followed me into the shower again… at least until the water was turned on. He’s mastered how to hide behind the liner and mer at me as I wash. Very odd behavior.
tick tock, goes the clock.
hooray for a spare hour! I slept in, and still got up at 9:00!
back from laundry, and got some foodies for me and the striped quadruped. Now, I’m due a shower.
anyone that gets wxel (pbs in Miami) night of the living dead comes on at 1O pm EST. The first, best zombie movie.
“They’re coming for you, Barbara.”
