7427 – Only Tuesday? A whole week before payday?
I would like one of these.
Got sort of hot in the morning meeting yesterday. BK went off sort of half-cocked, and burned RI’s biscuits. A lot of angry folks afterwards, and the meeting was a pressure cooker for the gang from 8:30-noon. I’m glad I bug out early. If BK’s not careful, she’s going to burn the wrong bridges just by not following a proper path of communications.

Early one Sunday morning, Jesus came into my room.
Woke me up and said, we’re gonna have a run!
I jumped, out of my bed,
Put on my Jogging shoes,
My wife, she woke up,
Said, What are we gonna do?
And I told her (told her)
Jogging (jogging)
for Jesus (for Jesus)
Oh, yes I am now.
Great & funky.
Florida judges are tossing out DUI cases when defendants ask to see the source code for the breathalysers that busted them — the manufacturers won’t turn over the source, and since the machine’s correct operation is critical to establishing the case against the DUIers, the case is dismissed when it can’t be produced.
All four of Seminole County’s criminal judges have been using a standard that if a DUI defendant asks for a key piece of information about how the machine works – its software source code, for instance – and the state cannot provide it, the breath test is rejected, the Orlando Sentinel reported Wednesday…
Seminole judges have been following the lead of county Judge Donald Marblestone, who in January ruled that although the information may be a trade secret and controlled by a private contractor, defendants are entitled to it.

The Way Outs are an English rock group that are mistaken for aliens. Although it was a radio prank, The Way Outs may actually be aliens. They have bodies consisting of four rings that can completely disconnect with nothing in between to hold them together. From the episode “Masquerade Party”.
And a-one and a-two!
There’s a place where I can go
And that’s where I wanna be
I’m sayin’ good-bye to you, good people,
For I’ve found a place for me!
(Yeah yeah yeaaaaaaah…)
Gonna go way out…WAY OUT!
That’s where the fun is, way out…WAY OUT!
That’s where the sun is, way out…
WAY OUT!
Where I wanna be,
For there’s a place for me-e-EEE!

Organization of American States – 35th meeting taking place right up the street from work. It’s going to play heck with traffic, and a lot of security hubbub as a result. More info here.
I wonder if anything of significance will take place there? Some interesting milestones in the past. Lots of protesters out and about… Bush’ll be there about 11am today.
I’ve been learning a lot more of my South American history, with a focus on Colombia lately, for obvious reasons. Previously, I knew more about Brazil, mostly due to Wilton, Sabrina and the dense Brazilian community down here.
Some Web logs in my neighborhood. This one is about 7 blocks from my place.
Monday morning meeting in a couple of hours. I try to find something positive in it, and it’s usually such a drag! Lots to do this week. – Quarterly hubbub again, already.
I’m glad to see a trend of burlesque making a comeback.
Yesterday’s wet dried up about 9am, and became a beautiful day! I hope that the run for the bus is dry this morning.
I forgot until just now that I look more like Silent Bob than Jesus when I have a full beard.
Comparison:

Truth be told, I usually wear a ball cap brim-front.

The Colinas sent me a Blinky the Three-eyed fish Squishy-toy as a swell thank you for the Doctor Who eps. Hey, there was one on last night! I have to remember to yank it down.
Blinky has a super squishy body, sparkle-infested goo interior. The girls at the club gave him more love than any mutant fish could hope for.. Amy took him on stage and sang him a ditty.

Club tonight, at least for a little bit, barring call emergencies. Hopefully tomorrow with Danny, too.
Celine Dion as Michael Jackson. Why do I like this?
quote [ …began as a normal traffic stop but took an ominous turn when the driver refused to get out of her SUV. It ended with a Boynton Beach Police officer hitting the 22-year-old woman twice with his Taser during her arrest. ]
disturbing video. I suspect she had a panic attack, because a taser doesn’t normally cause someone to flip out like that.. it hurts, for sure, but that stops right away.
She was warned four times, but preferred to hang out on the cell phone. Look at the other videos to see how the encounter started; he actually spoke to the woman a bit before taking her license and registration. When he returned and asked her to get out of the car, it was because she was driving with a suspended license and he intended to arrest her.
Old News, but I hadn’t seen the video. I used to work for the City of Boynton Beach (library), way back when.
Sunset was gorgeous last night. The rainclouds parted the sun came out, and turned the sky all sorts of beautiful warm colors before fading to purple.
Free doughnut day at Krispy Kreme. I’ll stop in if one crosses my path, but won’t make a special trip for one. Free ice cream, that’s I’d make a plan for.
Had the exceptionally pleasant experience of meeting firpo (quite an accomplished writer and artist out of California) on my journal yesterday in my comments section. It’s lovely when anonymous comment-folk pop in and say hello! Sometimes I think LJ is rather insular regarding non-lj types. I had the pleasure of seeing some of firpo’s work, and I quite liked what I saw — I may have to buy the book, too.
mzk called from New Mexico… has a UTI, and Mr. Tiggs nearly escaped on her, but aside from that, all is well. Will be in Cali by the weekend, I imagine.
Researchers from Stanford and Cornell have designed a camera sees behind objects. I remember that scene in Bladerunner when decker manipulated the photo to see one of the replicants around the corner of the apartment and I was cool but no way is that possible, well now it is.”

Weather Yesterday knocked me out. Made me wicked sleepy… After work, I had a long nap, and then watched Fog of War. It was quite fascinating, and I’d recommend it to anyone. First Time I’ve checked out the special features. Subtitles are in French, Spanish, Japanese, and Portuguese, and the additional scenes are of value.
Krispy Kreme outlets will be giving away free doughnuts on 3 June 2005. (tomorrow)
OneWordMovie [Flash] asks you for any term and then produces a movie made from image search results of Google and others.
I enjoyed putting scottobear in there, since it’s unique enough to just flip though stuff related to my life, usually images posted in LJ. slowest speed is my preferred viewing method.
Gave platelets again last night. (pre-nap) Fortunately, the saline wasn’t as painful this time. I miss going at midday, when the nearby sub shop would bring over a free sammich instead of the center giving a packet of famous amos and a diet coke. Ah well, it’s charity, I’m not in it for the free lunch.
I’m already missing MP, and she’s not even gone yet. I’m a dope for getting too emotionally invested.
Newt loves it when I read to him at night. I don’t think it’s remotely strange to read him a bedtime story before we go to sleep. I like reading aloud, and he’s a good listener (when he’s not trying to sit on the book being read.)
I had a talk the other day with a coworker. They’re upset about the low level of respect that’s doled out in the office. My response is that what they think or say really doesn’t matter. If they don’t respect you, and you know you deserve respect… that’s them being ignorant. I don’t think it was very comforting.
Bro called me, still hasn’t gotten his new cell-phone, and wants me to help him get this fishing pole out of storage to better get some food from off the land. I think he’s got a telemarketing gig now, too. I’m hoping that I can get those for him shortly.
Boy, church sure has changed since last time I went (via qdot) [possibly nsfw]
Lately, I’ve been going to bed hungry. I’d rather have a little pang than bother to get up an eat. I don’t know if that’s better or worse for my diet, but sloth has officially defeated gluttony in my deadly sin ratings.
No good comcast resolution, so I canceled my billing with them. I may get the “dish”, or I may just do without regular TV for a while. I can keep myself very entertained without cable, considering I only really watch shows that I torrent lately.
I’m a terrible one for philosophy, mainly because most of what’s been presented to me has too much sophistry for me to accept.

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand

It is astonishing that a potential law could even reach the stage of being voted on in the USA that says if you witness or ‘become aware’ that neighbors or friends have broken the law with narcotics (which presumes you are a competent judge of that), you will be compelled by law to denounce them to the police. Failure to do so means prosecution and the threat of a two year sentence yourself if convicted of simply minding your own business. Even if you disagree with the drug laws, you will be threatened with prison if you do not actively help enforce them against other people.
