GeotargetWoo! 10 gigs of storage! Nice. Thanks, LJ!

DSL kicked in last night, so I should be able to post pictures without going to Crabby Jack’s. I’ll still visit here and there for funzies, though. Now, to get big brain up and a runnin’.

I’ve seen my first episode of Mighty boosh – Killeroo. Pretty frickin’ awesome. Thanks to Vicky bubbles3563 for putting me onto it!

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That’s the island greeting that we send to you from the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii’s way to say Merry Christmas to you

GeotargetYesterday was Monkey day *and* Kong opened. I missed both. Ook. Ook. I Don’t think there were any gorillas in the Narnia movie. Curious.

LJ comments are still taking their sweet time to get to me. I think most of the old ones have made it, but some current ones are still suffering logjam, it seems.

Still no big computer or DSL… what the heck?! C’mon, folks! *whine whine* I should count my blessings.. world hunger, evil dictators and quadriplegics… and I want to play video games. Tsk, Scotto.

8007 – Humpdy hump, once again.

GeotargetSpent two hours with the condo commandos last night to get a signature on a form that would otherwise have cost me $100.

I figure I got paid $50 an hour to listen to old folks talk about vodka, strokes and building maintenance. Not a bad deal, really. Entertaining.

Critical Miami gets Dooced before he’s even started work. Sometimes, it just doesn’t pay to keep a journal with opinions online… I’m glad his old employer took him back.

Kong opens today… I’lll probably catch it this weekend.

I’ve discovered that I’m more than moderately good at juggling… or I was really in the zone yesterday. Newt really wants to chase beanbags.

We’re a couple of misfits, we’re a couple of misfits, what’s the matter with misfits, that’s where we fit in
We’re not daffy or dilly, don’t go ’round willy nilly, seems to us kind of silly, that we don’t fit in
We may be diiferent from the rest, who decides the test of what is really best
We’re a couple of misfits, we’re a couple of misfits, what’s the matter with misfits, that’s where we fit in!

8006 – Tuuuuuesday the Thirteenth!

GeotargetNew Sam & Max game! I love those guys.. the TV cartoon really did them no justice.

Showing my age… I remember getting the Atari 2600 for Christmas. Combat Rocked, adventure was fun, but not nearly so much as tanks or planes duking it out. 1978 was a good year. I was 9 years old, Star Wars had come out recently, and I was still high off of living in Richmond, VA… Visiting the Smithsonian as well as other museums and and historical monuments was a regular event… maybe twice a month or so. That Atari was durable… lasted a good decade of regular use. Even at 18 I still liked to drag it out and play asteroids or moon patrol. I got into the consoles a bit, but the intellivision and colecovision didn’t do it for me. They had better graphics, but worse gameplay. By the time the first nintendo came on the scene, I was more interested in hanging out with my buddies than Mario or Luigi. Probably one of the most durable investments in a holiday present ever.. $200 in 1977… well worth the $20 a year for entertainment, not counting the extra carts. (I tended to buy an additional game every 3 months or so, plus Christmas/Birthday got to be easy for a while.) I’d guess that I had about 50 cartridges by the time I was through, and I’d estimate 47 of them were well-played and loved. (I was not fond of the E.T., Sneak’n Peak or Indiana Jones games… but they were the rare exception to the rule. Yar’s Revenge, Ms Pac-man, and Joust more than made up for them.

Moment of Lyric – mp3

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

7998 – Just another Manic Mondayyyyy…

Leave a comment

GeotargetWent on a long walkabout yesterday… down Hillsboro to the beach, and then around to the Deerfield mall out on Powerline to see the Narnia movie and get $3.99 all you can eat buffet pizza at Cici’s. Shared a table with a Jamacian lady on “holiday” in the states – I put holiday in quotes, because she was working her vaykay in a child care center. I dug Narnia… the Christian allegory was there, but it wasn’t so heavy handed as to annoy any but folks that got offended at Tron or E.T. for the same stuff are going to bark louder over this.

That said, I quite enjoyed Narnia. The kids chosen to play were well-picked, and Edmund would make an excellent “Kid Miracleman” should someone decide to kick Alan Moore in the ribs and squeeze out the rights to make a movie. I quite enjoyed the CGI, which was smooth and believable despite what I’d heard earlier. I wonder how people that are unfamiliar with the books will do with the talking animals and other remarkable characters in the movie? Some might say it makes for a younger audience, but there are some grim parts that a little kid might not fare so well with, especially in regards to Aslan. (it is bloodless, but still strong content) I might’ve picked another person than Tilda Swinton to play the White Witch in the film, despite the fact that she did a fine job, I kept seeing the Borg Queen (even though Alice Krige is a totally different actress). The movie is as loyal to the story as I remember it (hasn’t been read for years… possibly/probably a decade or more.)

If I had a kid, I’d certainly take ’em to see it over any Harry Potter flick. I may look for the Narnia stuff as Audiobooks.. I suspect that it’ll transfer to listening-stuff better than Lord of the Rings.

Walkabout stats – 12.2 miles, burned 3034 calories. Good thing, considering that I scarfed down a pile o’pizza at Cici’s. I’m glad there isn’t one closer to work, or I’d be in diet danger.

Nose is a little sunburned from being out and about all day. Adds to the “Santa Look”.

Hm. That brings up a question.

I’d heard yesterday that 61% of folks in the USA wear corrective lenses. Can that be true? More than not?

Ah, here’s the breakdown.
