Well, I got Dave hooked on heroclix… he placed an order for mage knight this morning. I have to send him a link to the full rules, here. http://www.mkrules.net/MageKnightRules.htm

Did my groceries, and cleaned house. How’d I generate so much trash this week? all the supplies ran out, so the packaging for litter, assorted food, and such really bulked it up.

nice chat with my sweetheart… Saxon thoughts and lots of reflection. I like when ideas provoke deeper thought.

I got my ebay auction today, but he forgot one of the parts.. I emailed him, and he’s sending it along presently… jinkies. well, at least the rest is here.

I had a relaxing lay-down… played the recorder for a bit and had some dreamy thoughts… in a little bit, I’m going to go over to my bro’s and we’re going to have a little gab. He wants to help clear the cobs… he kicked out his roomie today. (no point in having one, if they guy can’t pay his rent) I think that after clearing the air, we’re going to have cookies and play some heroclix. Good for what ails ya.

Work looks like the social-boat is going to be rocking the next few weeks… We promoted Hoi to the head of the mail shop… something he deserves. He has the ability to be seven places at once, so more power to him.

It looks like tomorrow night’s “movie in the park” is Monty Python & The Holy Grail. It’s free, so I think that’ll be a nice thing to take the bro to go see… we can pick up some slurpees and hang out. Maybe we can launch a little early and catch a bite of din din, too.

Shows coming up… All look good! if you look on my bio-page.. the sun sentinel cam. the thing that looks like a potato chip is where it’s showing.

The days are getting visibly shorter lately…The sun has officially set by 8pm, and it makes reading more difficult.

Work wants me to make them a website. I don’t think I want to make one for them… I’m not sure… I guess I’ll do my best, give them something that looks like the company’s brochure, and hope for the best… it’ll be a change of duty… but somehow, I don’t want to go into doing a lot of web page design for the company…or, if I do, I want to be paid accordingly for more responsibility and a broader spectrum of skills put to use. I doubt that’ll happen. (Especially since my design sense is spartan. I’m much better at programming and keeping interfaces simple, rather than the many bells and whistles that clients might want for a website.) That’s one of those things that has very little definition, and I fear “Too many chefs” syndrome… Building a website for these guys is going to be an exercise in micromanagement and nit-pickery. When I write a program for the company, I know that there’ll be set resolution sizes, no unusual ways of loading the program (like a non-standard browser / Netscape / opera, etc) and no diphthongs asking for “Hey, have something that chases the mouse with the company logo on it!” I must make a point of keeping an open mind… it could be fun. No more negativity, Scotto… deal with it as it comes.

I like the new Tori single. (Big shock there.)

You know blogging has become passé when a soap opera creates blogs “written” by two of its characters.

Watched a little 700 club this morning. He’s got some severe logic issues, as well as a lot of internal hate. I went online to find a transcript of today’s show, to reference …it’s not available yet. When my spiders bring it back, I’ll have more to say. Long story short, the guy’s a racist and has a lot of intolerance. Something about “Judge Not” is ringing in my ears.

Payday. I hope It gets off to a kinder roll soon.

Hot diggety!

I got zoe‘s trivia cookies today!

She’s off count though… I got well over a dozen… closer to two! 🙂 They arrived well packed, unsmooshed and uneaten. (I’m going to rectify the latter right now!) I’m going to share this newfound boon of chocolaty-quadrangle goodness with my brother. There’s too much to hoard for myself, as much as I’d like to.

I’m back! He was *very* appreciative. 🙂

We both did the head-bob victory dance and adjourned back to our respective abodes.

I emailed my ebay guy, and he told me that my stuff was put in the mail yesterday… so I should be seeing it tomorrow, or Monday at the latest.

Downloading “Run tel dat” for the Island Boy at work. our net connection there is so congested that he can’t run kazaa at any higher than 1.8k (rather than the 106k that the file is streaming at now… It’d be higher, but I’m nabbing other stuff, too.)

/bragging&picking on the company’s net trouble

Newt likes the new table & chairs, a lot. multiple smooth surfaces at assorted heights. Mucho fun to play with, and get different vantage points on potential prey in the house. Deadly Legos, hair ties and army men had better watch out!

It’s fun to watch him.. right now he’s kicking back on top of the futon, and watching animal planet.

Newt & the boob tube
Unless I’ve reactivated cam refresh, that’s him watching “a pet story” .

I want to go to Dragon Con… maybe next year, if I can wrangle Danny or another friend into going with me, and if the guests / games are good.

I could use a good blood bowl fix. (Heroclix has rebitten my miniatures wargaming cravings), and I like to kick snotlings.

homey-home.

got a lovely wooden table and three chairs today. Rearranging the apartment took about an hour of fiddling. I think I have a layout that’s to my liking, now.

factoid o’ de day

I found a painting by Hieronymus Bosch that features trepanation.

The Cure of Folly (Extraction of the Stone of Madness), c. 1480

“Removing “stones” from the head was a fairly common medieval operation; however, Bosch has painted a flower as the object being removed. The flower is a tulip which, in the Netherlands is a metaphor for being mad. It is common for someone in a mad (crazy) state to be called a “tulip head.”
