9062 – Thurs
I need a trim. Maybe a haircut this weekend, too? I feel more than a little shaggy.
I found out today that ol’ RobbChar got engaged! I’m really glad to hear he’s got a partner and a happy life! I may be going to the wedding, in a year’s time or so. BHK made tasty Tacos / Taco salad… good eats.
That silly letter meme:Guidelines for propagation: Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the preceding…they have to be actual places, names, things… nothing…

Two homeless guys from the other day – The PG station on the green line is a pretty sad place. these two had enough resources to stagger on and shamble to a seat…. both were massively out of it, due to disabilities either ingrained or added with outside substances. Possibly both. The next sop, a policeman came aboard and lurked next to them for the bulk of the trip… as soon as he left, they began slap-fist fighting. Nothing serious, but I’m glad I got off at the following stop… it’s just sort of depressing to see folks like that.
Ham-A-Rama! – First sighting of Hickory Farms product…. and it’s called HAM-A-RAMA… contains “cheese food” called Chub, “Beef Stick”, and those little strawberry candies in addition to the aforementioned Ham (with water added).
Flyball – When we went to visit with Amy, I snagged a quick snap of the pooches running… there are some pretty speedy critters that like to play fetch! It was good to see her and her family, however briefly.
I hate it when Ty is right about stuff like this. I’m pretty sure I’d throw in with robot overlords, too. (Also, Zod in 2008 might work.)From his entry –
We’re already giving up our freedoms — our right to privacy, gone. Warrant-less arrest, gone. Right to have your vote counted is super-gone depending on the state you live in, right to stand trial, gone — we have torture. We already have all the downsides of a supposed robotic takeover, but we’re being cheated of the upside! I say, if this is the world we’re gonna live in anyway, at least let the robot overlords have their shot. World peace, technological utopia — and no crime! The robot overlords’ crime control is swift and merciless.

The fog this morning was insane. View from my office looked like the windows were frosted.
BHK’s falafel tonight hit just the right spot!
Test of blog2blog worked well… I copied all of the public entries over to my alternate wordpress site, in case of lj collapse. (Not like that’s going to happen, but it’s nice to have an archive.) I’ll still continue to post here, but I think I’ll do periodic slides over to the other location, to keep the backups fresh.

It took a long time to move 9000+ articles over, but not as long as I’d thought. Downside is that it doesn’t take comments or tags with it, but the internal search engine at WP is pretty darn solid. Added bonus, the comment and page tracking is a lot more up to snuff. Note – Save your entries on a file locally… makes it a lot easier to catch up if something happens mid-process. Voice posts, lj-embeds and lj-polls also don’t travel well, for obvious reasons.
The Ghost of Foghorn Leghorn Speaks of Unrequited Love
I said, listen to me, boy. Only the stars know.
And now you, fidgeting in all the air
like you fear for your neck. Still,
you’re young and youth explains away all,
except love. My love. I’ve a gift
but not for this. It speaks like a house fire.
Or a bullet into a bowl of oatmeal. If fired,
you’ve got a mess. And I do, I know,
and not one I thought I wanted, like a gift.
Stay with me, son. I’m not wasting air
for your benefit alone. I said, that’s all,
and walked off, shaking. It’s hard to be still.
It’s hard to know how to be still.
When I was little I felt I’d catch fire
if I was too quiet. Nothing’s changed at all.
There’s nothing worse than to know
my smoke signals go unheeded in the air—
she won’t look, speak, accept the gift
I made for her. Her going is my gift.
All that I’ll keep. Out to an old still
I’d go and drink until I forget it’s air
I need to live, air that fills me now like fire
nothing can douse. For all I know,
the ground beneath me is burned beyond all
knowing. Any of this getting through all
that thick head, boy? Love isn’t a gift.
Way off, you’re way off. I know
you hope it’s feathers flying and time stood still,
crowing from the roof, and gun-fire
meant to silence your song on the night air.
You’re not listening. That’s just hot air.
It’s torture. You’re finished, once and for all.
You might as well be old rags in a fire.
I’ll say it again: love wasn’t a gift
when I fell flat and hard upon it, and still,
I won’t dare let it go. It’s all I know—
like the air or the sound of my voice, my gift,
all bluster and not a bit of it still.
This fire could burn me alive. Who’d know?

Solid sleep, but I woke up once in the middle of the night – maybe that’s why I can recall my dream so readily today. Dreamt that I was living in a haunted house – hanged bodies in varying states of decay kept appearing on the porch. Some of the skulls were certainly not human… more bovine or ursine, depending. I would throw them away, or burn them out in the yard, but the following day, more would be there.
I kept the noose rope, spooling it into a large ball in the back yard, hoping to…

I kept the noose rope, spooling it into a large ball in the back yard, hoping to make the place a roadside attraction. I don’t know why reappearing bodies wouldn’t be enough. For whatever dream-reason, I spun the rope to the tune of Stick Shifts & Safety Belts (Which is still lodged in my head… 16 hours or more later.)
Rather than come for the huge ball of twine, visitors did start to come, due to the delicious smell of charred carcasses. I don’t know why feeding the bodies to visiting people felt OK, but it was guilt-free… my attitude was “hey, they were just hanging there… like selling fruit from my apple tree.”
Speaking of Grapes… DIET GRAPE AT GIANT HAS RETURNED!!
The only grape soda that I actively enjoy, flavor-wise. Plus, the foam is a soft powder blue, not purple. BHK has been questing for it since mid-june.

Ardent; impassioned; marked by exaggerated or overwrought emotion.
