8496 – I much prefer the bow and arrow to the atlatl.
Trying to work out the best method to get to points north at the end of the month. I’d like to take Newt on the trip with me, but I can’t seem to get an answer I want about taking him with me into the passenger area, because I don’t want him in the cargo hold… he’ll stay home, before that happens. Right now, it’s looking like he’s just going to stand guard at the Grotto HQ.
Looks like Tropical Storm Chris isn’t going to bring any more than some rain on Sunday. Works for me!
Is this widespread “11:11 trend” stuff new, or am I just now seeing it all over the place? I know Urantia has a good sized following, but I can’t say as I’ve ever seen the marketing/branding side of it. It seems like another version of the 23 enigma.
I’m a pretty firm believer that the more you look for a pattern, the more often that you’ll find it.. but if seeing a number brings someone comfort, more power to ’em.
The Tostada pizza (Southwestern black beans, sharp Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses topped with chilled shredded lettuce, fresh tomato salsa, green onions and crispy tortilla strips with garden-herb ranch dressing) at California Pizza Kitchen is pretty dang tasty. TD, GG and I went out there briefly, and it was a good time. GG left early to go on a date, but TD and I stuck around for a bit and discussed an assortment of stuff from the Kennedy assassination, serial killers, assorted work and life history, and scamming for free meals in college. Nice to hang with coworkers and not talk about work.
meme-a-leme:
1. Leave a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. If you like, update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, ask them five questions.
Fell asleep last night reading P&P, and forgot to put on the CPAP. Woke up this morning with a swollen uvula and mildly sore throat. That tells me that I’ll have to take the CPAP with me on my trip, and sleep somewhere I can plug in. It seems that camping out overnight is still fairly out, if I wish to enjoy the next day properly. I woke up about 3 hours ago, and the soreness is abating now.

Last Summer day with Danny yesterday – Indian food, walkies and relaxation. spinach and cheese, some garlic flat bread, and samosas. A great time was had by us both, I think. Too much dinner, no room for ice cream.

Hot outside, but I don’t mind! I’m looking forward to coming rains, and hope they don’t hurt anyone. I could use maybe a parasol or some sunglasses I won’t lose, but that’s not happening.
Elton John glasses and Gorilla Suits! Good vibes for all.

8491 -With a slack jaw, and not much to say
Watched Paperclips last night… not bad, but a little flat. Could’ve done the job in about 30 minutes, I suspect. Worth seeing, but needed a lot of edits for my attention span.
Gun-slinging females, some sporting fake beards, have conducted four stickups in Jasper County in the past 11 weeks in what investigators are calling an unusual, baffling crime spree. Continue reading 8491 -With a slack jaw, and not much to say

8489 – Sharks don’t have knees.
Boiled some eggs for traveling breakfast this morning, turned out surprisingly good… chilling right after hard-boiling set them up just right, and no ugly ring between yolk and white, and not sulfuric-stinky at all. Cheap morning food – a dozen eggs for a dollar, three eggs at a throw is two bits a meal.
I’m still a total newbie at yoga, but three days into it, and I’m digging it, even though I’m not quite so bendy as mr yee, the rubber-man teacher. Not doing it in the morning, but I’ve started doing 20 min morning when I get home from work, and then the 20 min nightly about an hour later.
EN Had a bit of a panic over Cedarville, AR and Wichita, KS last night… a bit of stress about mapping, but it was quickly resolved.
Dave has sinus surgery last week… was getting repeated infections since Wilma. I hope this will fix it.
4-second frenzy – play a bunch of games, 4-seconds each. perfect for the trendy pseudo-ADD set.
In the spirit of Wonder Woman – Theoi Project, a comprehensive guide to the Gods (Theoi), Spirits (Daimones) and Monsters (Theres) of ancient Greek mythology and religion.
E-paper for Danny – FOLEDs – Flexible Organic Light Emitting Devices – “FOLEDs are organic light emitting devices built on flexible substrates. Flat panel displays have traditionally been fabricated on glass substrates because of structural and/or processing constraints. Flexible materials have significant performance advantages over traditional glass substrates.” – How it works
What does that all mean, you say? Well, I’m rolling up my monitor now and going home!

8488 – Monday, again!
I’ve got some good thoughts to buoy me through Monday Meeting!
Every day is a new challenge, but I’ve got some good ammo to combat most challenges that come my way lately.
Danny sent me the complete first season of the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman series! (The Pilot Movie, and 13 regular episodes). Very Keen. Apparently Paradise Island is in the Bermuda Triangle, according to the show…I always pictured it in Greece.
Had a nice walkabout yesterday… went to riverfront to check out the place before it gets torn down to make way for condos. Took a few snaps, met up with Tina. We had a little bite to eat at the Italian place, then saw Monster House. I quite enjoyed it, though it was a bit slow at first… and I wasn’t expecting a PG rated thing in that style. Some pretty unexpected turns, and character actions that were rather creepier than an evil house that eats people.
Post movie, we chitty-chatted and got ice cream before it was time to go – getting spoiled.. I just had a cone with Danny last Thursday.
Still haven’t seen Pirates (Movie-time conflict), and putt-putt is being saved for a day when we can get a bigger crew together.
8487 – Good Morning, Dear Journal!
Lovely talk on the phone last night, that went well into the wee hours. I simply didn’t want to hang up, but fatigue eventually drew me to snooze-ville. I woke up about an hour later and stumbled upon an interesting lj, and ended up engaged in some interesting conversation there, too.
I’m not feeling fatigued this morning, and I got my first pente defeat at the hands of bhk, trying to sink The Dreaded Pirate Greybeard’s Pente-ship Barkin’ Lotus!
newt and friend on the porch yesterday.
Dice Wars – very simple, but addictive. I think proximity is a lot of fun, too. It has a revered place on my pda.
I heard a great quote the other day – “True nobility is not about being better than anyone else, but being better than you used to be.”
Beautiful thought, and I’m all for it.
Video: Microsoft Vista speech recognition demo gone bad
Dear aunt, let’s set so double the killer delete select all.
The XP recognition works reasonably well for me, save for some of the more esoteric phrases.
Animated movie from 787 clip art samples. I really like it.
Mighty Illegal Wireless Hotspot Hacks – the most useful thing for me was showing how to make my laptop a hot spot. Some very interesting info that can be reapplied a few different ways, but mostly importantly, insure the validity of where you connect.
Still unsure what I’m up to today – no word on putt-putt or movies or whatnot, but I’m off to get ready for my day. Shower, Yoga and morning walkies. Until later, dear journal.

8486 – from the “south wing”
First morning of Yoga went well, though I think I prefer the evening program so far. Taking things slow and easy, but I’ll be bendy as gumby in a bit.
Newt’s already started practicing, too. I dig the time stamp, 04:44:40.
On the Porch now – Newt got pretty excited about a little black squirrel on the outside balcony, but other than that, I’m just lounging outside and soaking up the humidity and enjoying the peace and quiet. Only real sounds are the fountain burbling and an odd rumble in the distance. Newt has since calmed down
Odd to watch Kids in the Hall unbleeped. Recorded back in the day when you could say “shit” on Canadian TV, but not on the Comedy Channel.
I haven’t planned a walkabout yet, but I think maybe a little journey to points west. Possibly doing putt-putt with mental_circles, home_grown_cl, and hedache tomorrow, if they recover from the Bowling for Soup concert tonight.
Forgot to mention that I went with Danny to a little comic book store in Boca Raton on Thursday. Quarter bins have given way to dollar bins. I picked up a few 1963 comics that had fallen by the wayside a move or two ago. A shame the Annual never made it to print. I was saddened to see that the Thing Series has come to an end. graypumpkin and kat78731 brought me a two or three issues when they were last in town, and I filled up to get all eight. The store’s Comic Book Guy(tm) said it was a fan favorite, but sales just weren’t enough to keep it alive.
Looks like a few of my flickr pictures are being published in schmap’s fort lauderdale guide!

Danny didn’t like 12 Monkeys nearly as much as I do. Yesterday was calm and gentle, and I’m all for that. We discussed a question posed about usefulness of high school algebra by most people in either the workplace or at home. I’ll pass it along here, just as an informal quiz, once he gives me the exact wording. Quite honestly, I don’t really need either much, if any of the math I learned after about 7th grade or so.. or probably earlier… I do rations, percents, and arithmetic a lot, of course, but I can’t remember the last time I had to solve for X or cut something on a proper angle.
I do, however use critical thinking skills all the time, which I think I may have picked up as a side effect of geometry/algebra/calc. If I had it to learn all over again, I would have preferred to learn those skills without some of the more esoteric greek math.
In other news, we had sushi – I had spicy tofu, some tempura sweet potato, and a veggie roll – Danny shared the tofu, and went with his usual Scandinavian-style sushi with orange fishy-eggy-type stuff. It was very pretty for being made of reproductive fish bits.
After Sushi, we went for some walkies around the cove, and discovered a few pretty tasty-looking restaurants for next time. Not a bad mix – Brazilian, French, a Dive bar, and a final place to stop and sum up the night with ice cream. We had a few scoops, and headed back home.
When I got home, I found a lot of goodies waiting for me… 2 Kids in the hall dvds, the final Zim, and best of all, my lovely Yoga package from bhk! In there was a spiffy dvd in 3 parts… AM, PM, and Relaxation. Also in the package was an awesome blue yoga mat, and swell letter to newt and m’self, and a delightful postcard, to boot. Thank you! I plan on doing the nightly on every evening, and the morning stuff on days I don’t get up before dawn. The relaxation, I’ll shoot for midday on the weekends before walkabout.

8483 – YOU BLEW IT UP!
Sort of lame that Lance Bass is pulling the ‘Ellen’ card right before he’s starting a new show.
It’d be cool if his new TV program is about how he caught “The Gay” during his Russian Space Shot, and returned to a planet populated by talking apes. I’d watch it.
For three episodes anyway, until it turned into Will & Grace, with Ape-o-Nauts.
Even Space Monkeys can’t save Will & Grace.
Sorry, Monkey.
