done for The Batgirl Drawing meme!
Most of the others are actually good, mine was doodled on the palmtop with a fingertip.
A easy thumbnail way to view the batgirl lj meme is to look up batgirl tags on flickr.Not all piccies are hosted there, of course, but there are a few from stick figures to awesome.
Thank you, dear Shoo! My birthday present got here early, but I was good and didn’t unwrap the gift paper unless she said I could.
And she did. I got the 2-disc Special Edition of King Kong (1933)! Yay!
Much love to all the family Shoo in Shoo-ville! Newt also likes the box quite a lot, too. He’s currently sitting inside, gnawing on a cardboard flap.
Took a lovely late night swim in the pool at about 2am. The water was warmer than the air, which is always nice. I had a brief moment of iguana-fear, which quickly passed after I gave a quick sweep of the area. Very soothing to float on my back, staring at the moon and just thinking and feeling my toes and fingertips wrinkle up a little. Water is still the closest thing to hitting a reduced gravity environment for me… quite peaceful and I could feel a lot of physical tension flow away from my back, legs and shoulders. I was shivering a bit, despite the warm water, and I don’t know what that was…maybe the body unkinking? I may make a habit of nighttime soaks more often.
Hey, look at all the batgirls!
A gazillion of ’em!
Some new designs, some just different styles on the old stuff… pretty nifty lj meme. Some amazingly amateurish, others frighteningly professional.
Take me off the shelf and put me in a plastic bag, because I’m sold!
VS and KTM both submitted resignations this week.. that’s pretty much the entire community relations department. They’ll both be gone before my birthday. I hate to sound greedy, but I really hope this won’t affect my making a long weekend out of Feb 2-5 next month. I wonder how long RR has left before he high-tails it, too?
Moment of Lyric:
My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There’s so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice
Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style
Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie
But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

It’s a little flattering when folks use my icons as their own… Newtie Blah-blah is the latest one discovered in use by someone else. (Sadly, I’ve had to ask her to remove it, due to reasons of senitment and copyright.)
Grabbed the latest episode of Lost after getting high marks from a few people I trust… haven’t watched it yet, but have heard that it focuses on Eko, Charlie and the monster.
Also, Doctor Who will be airing on the Sci-fi channel starting in March. Funny how they changed their tune… I guess Battlestar Galactica’s success alone couldn’t float stinkburgers like Mansquito and the bulk of it’s original programming.
Ultraman Taro on Youtube! Bless Youtube for keeping me in giant rubber monsters.
Sam Raimi has announced his next project after Spidey 3…it’s The Wee Free Men. Crivens!!
Retrievr, a new service from Flickr, lets you search for images by drawing what you want the image to look like. I’ve been having too much fun.
Also, FlickrFling takes RSS feeds and dynamically assigns Flickr photos to them

Talked to the home office of CompUsa, and they’re going to fedex the part from Kentucky… Big brain should be ready for me by Tuesday night. Yeah, yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it. The boss also said that they’d toss in some gigs of memory in at cost, and install ’em for nothing.
Going to try to get Hippie Dave to get together with Comic Dave in Fort Lauderdale this weekend.

See what happens after I move away from Los Olas? They paint the whole area with free wifi. There were a ton of free hotspots to start with, but now it seems pretty constant. I’m just glad the main library has a big touchstone now…. students can bring their own appliances in and get data, rather than wait on the computer banks in the 3rd, fifth and ground floors. I can only imagine how much bittorrenting of pirated er, archival stuff over a big open network will happen.
I might get a chance to hang out with Dave Attell this week or next. More on that as it happens or doesn’t. He’s back on tour.
Hey, the whole run of the Flash tv show is out of DVD! all 21 episodes plus the 90 minute Pilot.
Newton Meets Mr. Man.
Mr. Man gestures hypnotically, to put the giant beast in his thrall, and…
Chomp! Newt treats him like Tyr. Mr. Man must be from Newfoundland, a smoker or a fascist.

This card is my problem with compusa, along with really poor communication or support /offering of alternatives.
In a nutshell, it’s been since November 10th that my Computer has been at the shop… everything else needing repair is fixed according to them.
Verto GeForce FX 5950 Ultra Video Card, AGP, 256MB DDR
Nvidia
Manufacturer: PNY
Mfg Part #: VCGFX595APB
Product Number: 308120
$499.88
However, that bad boy has been out of stock at the manufacturer, and at all known compusa stores in a 50-mile radius for the last 8 weeks.
With a $500 price tag, I’m obliged to wait, because I really can’t drop that chunk of change on something that I should be getting under warranty.
The guys at the shop have given me two timelines, both of which have passed, now. I’m not quite sure what I can do, save for waiting.
Meanwhile, I have to do my work on poor ol’ Battered lappie, My Toshiba satillite back from a time when Windows Me (I’ve long since replaced that with win2k pro) was “cutting edge”.
I’d say that the only time I’ve had worse customer service/ communication was with Comcast… I have since boycotted them, though I’ve heard that they might not be so bad in other areas outside of SoFla.
Not having big brain has cost me some very significant social chat and play time in 2nd Life, LAN party activities with the old FMM crowd are out of the picture… plus, all of my downloaded movies / Netflix DVD archives are ground to a halt while the machine is gone… not to mention a lack of Newtcam.
I never realised how many people watched good ol’ Newt during the day… I’ve gotten somthing like 80 emails politely requesting when he’ll be back online again. If Big Brain is down another week, I’ll hook Newtcam up to Lappie so folks can get an orange kitty fix.
I can only imagine what happens when pretty girls shut off their webcams. I suspect horny stalker-type guys aren’t nearly as polite as cat fanciers.
Hijinks. Awesome word,three dotted letters in a row. I forget where I first heard about that, but when it was mentioned on the Simpsons, it came as a weird shock… parallel stupid observation.
Midweek…I may make it all the way through, yet. Big time flu bug going aorund the office… let’s see how many folks call in sick over the next 3 days.

You’ll do well to remember that, Scotto.
Dinosaurs are a specific subgroup of the archosaurs, a group that also includes crocodiles, pterosaurs, and birds. although pterosaurs are close relations, they are not true dinosaurs. Even more distantly related to dinosaurs are the marine reptiles, which include the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. Mammoths and mastodons are mammals and did not appear until many millions of years after the close of the Cretaceous period. Dimetrodon is neither a reptile nor a mammal, but a basal synapsid, i.e., an early relative of the ancestors of mammals.
I honestly didn’t know that pterosaurs and marine reptiles didn’t count as dinos, or that dinosaur wasn’t a catch-all term before today, and I’ve loved early critters for well over three decades. Talk about a hole in my education!

Also testing out this site to seek out info re: sexual predators over a mapped area –
Type in your home address or a family members address. The web site will bring up a map of your neighborhood with small colored boxes on it. The small House icon represents your address; the colored boxes represent sex offenders in your area.
Click on the colored boxes and it will bring up the offender’s photograph and the exact address, names and employers. Click ALL AROUND, you will be amazed at the information you get!

A new federal law states that when you annoy someone on the Internet, you must disclose your identity. Here’s the relevant language.
“Whoever…utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet… without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person…who receives the communications…shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
Hmm… I wonder how enforceable this is, and how it’ll change the face of the internet? Telephone use? Talk Radio?
The answer to my ESP poll was Wavy Lines. I suspect there may’ve been some circle after image bleed over due to the moon-talk and icon. Very interesting… most people knew that I’d go with wavy lines. Fully 40% of people answering got it right, as well as 33% getting the circle vibe. Spiffy that folks know me that well, give a one in five chance to get it right.
Let’s try it again – I’m looking at an image, and focusing on it… which one is it?
The problem with LJ:
We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.
Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don’t know about you.
Thanks Ilene for the two icons!

I sometimes look at roads, and wonder where they came from. Before they were paved… were they cobblestone? Before that, a dirt road? Before that, a Indian path in the woods? Before that, some animal tracks?
Is the patch of Federal Highway that I ride down, curving a little inland and a little closer to the coast now and then every day the result of some deer running through high grasses to avoid a panther?

Not my fave episode, but the spirit of jazz makes me happy.
Bro’s pal Andy was arrested today. He’s under wraps until September 26 for that grand theft charge and “resisting a merchant”… I’ll have to look that one up.
See mugshot gallery to compare, or entries on 2/24/04, 2/25/04, 11/21/04, 1/30/05, 6/7/05, somewhere in 7/2005, 8/3/05.
I really hope that means bro will keep his nose clean for a little while.

Woman eating an egg and bacon sandwich, the meat is rubbery, she pulls on it, stretching until it breaks, snapping into her mouth. I get a distinct hyena/carrion vibe.
