going to bed.
Sweet dreams, LJ folks.
I’m off to snoozeville.
side note – ahhh!! My baby is past the trouble she was having. 🙂 I’m hoping this means her other symptoms will refresh too… better sleep, less anguish. 🙂
“They say no one will ever rhyme ‘purple’
But I say that someday, those who usurp will!”
oh, and my best rhyme for orange is doorhinge.
Cool… I had no idea that the U.S. can selectively disable civilian GPS signals in specific areas (thereby preventing things like our enemies from using our satellites to move their troops). Makes sense.
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles
A backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I’m counting UFOs
I signal them with
My lighter
And in this moment
I am happy, happy
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here
I, oh
The world’s a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
While my hands are
Busy in the air
Saying
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here

Pilot episode, The Incredible Hulk
Throughout history, we have been plagued with tales of mad animal-men, wild lycanthropes that tear through the night eating human flesh, violating women and animals, and infecting humanity itself.
Why is that? Instinct? It’s one of the story types that is everywhere you look, regardless of culture.
It just occurred to me, reflecting on my aggressively protective nature of those I love.
newtcam is pointed on the server room today, as Newton’s come to work with me. You might see a human or two on occasion, as well!
Pooties! Why is my aol buddylist not working? are they doing some sort of repair / update?

Sanitizing History Through Name Changes
=================================
Some advocacy groups want to make sure Squaw Spring, Jap Road and Chinaman Bluff soon go the way of Chinks Peak. The U.S. Board on Geographic Names changed the name of the mountain just outside Pocatello, Idaho, from Chinks Peak to Chinese Peak recently after a three-year campaign by Asian-American advocates.
Attempts to get rid of Indian nicknames and mascots in sports – such as the Cleveland Indians’ red-faced Chief Wahoo – have become familiar. But the Idaho effort is one of a handful of quieter projects aimed at changing the names of landmarks and natural features.
Half-Brain Girl To Humiliate Peers
=================================
Christina Santhouse entered Conwell-Egan Catholic High School last month.
Not unusual for most 14-year-olds from Bristol, but a very big deal for a girl living without the right side of her brain. It was removed five years ago, after Christina developed an extremely rare, progressive disease that causes uncontrollable seizures.
To be sure, Christina underwent a radical procedure that causes serious side effects: She has partial paralysis of her left arm and leg, and she lost peripheral vision in her left eye. When Christina jerks her head the wrong way, she can feel fluid sloshing around where part of her brain used to be.
In almost every other respect, Christina is a typical teenager. Her intellect and memory are fine. She hates algebra, loves ‘N Sync. She has a big “Keep Out” sign on her bedroom door.

Remember the old days, when everyone and their brother on your friend’s list would put up the emode test results?
Or… Happy “Those Guys that Crossed the Land-Bridge in Alaska” Day! (I don’t know any of the leader’s names)
Christopher, you were at least in third place. 🙂
Vikings did it first by Sea, and Asians did it first by land.
Let’s Have Another Drink To Celebrate My Sobriety
=================================
A man who reportedly celebrated a sobriety milestone with rum and Coke, vodka and Bud Light was arrested Thursday by Des Moines police following a two-hour standoff after he allegedly threatened an acquaintance with a shotgun.
Burger King Marketing Department Even Likes Their Feet Flame Broiled
=================================
About a dozen Burger King marketing-department workers burned their feet when they walked over white-hot coals at a meeting intended to promote bonding.
One woman was taken to a hospital emergency room, and Burger King brought in a doctor to treat others whose feet were blistered. Some workers used wheelchairs the next day when they went to the airport to leave for another company retreat.
Dana Frydman, vice president of product marketing for Burger King, was injured but had no regrets about the event she helped organize.
“It made you feel a sense of empowerment,” Frydman said, “and that you can accomplish anything.”
Except walk over hot coals.
cecity (SEE-si-tee) noun
