“In the beginning was water and darkness. A mound of earth rose from the water. From that mound grew a lotus flower. Then Re, the Sun, rose from the island. Re generated two more gods, who coupled to produce Sky goddess Nut and Earth goddess Geb. They, too, mated, producing four children, including Osiris, Isis, and Set. Sometime after, humanity was born.”

I fessed up to Mzk about turning down a semester’s scholarship to clown college yesterday. Clowning was never meant to be a lifelong vocation. I don’t have the balance to do unicycle work these days anyhow. I should work on juggling.

Trix Cereal is now simple spheres again! (the reduced sugar ones… made with splenda!)

I’ve been getting a nice regular dose of hugs lately. That’s nice… I definitely feel 1000% better after receiving a hug, especially from a pretty girl that smells good.

Fleet Week started.. I need to pick up some of those cards and pass ’em out to sailors in town. I bet I could get 38 more guys through the club’s doors. Still no word about the part time gig there after hours.

More gorgeous weather and moon last night. I was happy just kicking back and reading.

Had a nice social chat with myid8myego last night… Covered some bases [edit – what was I saying?]

I got a very flattering entry written about me in another journal. It’s posted filtered, so I don’t imagine they want to be known for it, but it was remarkably kind. Thank you.

The Country Bears movie was on Disney last night… better than I’d expected. Cute.

Moment of Lyric:

Envy and it’s evil twin
It crept in bed with slander
Idiots they gave advice
Both Sloth it gave no answer
Anger kills the human soul
With bitter tales of lust
While Pavlov’s Dogs keep chewin’
On the legs they never trust

Marking the first time the treasures of Tutankhamun (King Tut) have visited America in 26 years, an extensive exhibition of more than 130 artifacts from the tomb of the celebrated Pharaoh and other Valley of the Kings ancestors visits the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale beginning December 15, 2005. Fort Lauderdale is the only Southeast location to host the treasures.

Featured treasures in the exhibition, which are all between 3,300 and 3,500 years old, include Tutankhamun’s royal diadem (http://www.kingtut.org/gallery/Gold_12.htm )- the gold crown discovered encircling the head of the king’s mummified body that he likely wore while living – and one of the gold and precious stone inlaid coffinettes that contained his mummified internal organs. Opening for a very limited time December 15th at the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale.

Finally, something a little more significant to me than Princess Diana memorobilia.

That’ll be something I’d be willing to toss out a few bucks to see. Funny what a few thousand years will do to my enthusiasm. Nostalgic, too… I saw when it was touring Boston in ’78, but I was just a cub at the time. I understand more nifty stuff has been added. That’s what got me into egyptologhy in the first place. Any walking undead or ancient curses will jsut be a bonus.

Ah well, it was a fun thing to hear and believe of him while it lasted.

I saw the short commercial, but didn’t get to see the bit of testimonial footage I did for the longer bit.

The most recent Dr. Who 2-parter was an odd combination of actual drama, slapstick/fart jokes, Men in Black, and an issue of 2000AD. I’m glad that there were repercussions of Rose just launching off like she did. Rather a neat spin on UNIT, too.

I can’t help but wonder if I’d like it as much if I’d never seen the old Dr. Who series as a kid. Probably… they’re pretty entertaining fare.

Next Week… Daleks!

I need to burn episodes 2-5 to a cd, and toss ’em to Graypumpkin.

Freaky Club guy – shaved his face, but not anywhere below the jawline. His behavior was in an odd place, too. He put Mari and Mzk sort of at odds for a bit. I think Mari was suffering from some cramps, to.. I noticed that she was clutching her lower abdomen every so often.

Weather yesterday was magnificent. perfect humidity level, temperature, and amount of sunshine. I would like 100 days like that a year, please.

I have to remember to call up the HR and find out if that thing two weeks ago was fruitful or not. I suspect not, because they didn’t call me.

Newt was amazingly affectionate last night and this morning, doing that trill-purr he does when he’s in happy-happy mode. Sleep was wonderful for the first time in a few weeks.

Got to talk to Tomi voice, albeit briefly. He sounds good, and is still in seeming good spirits. I think it’s been at least 15 years, if not more since we last communicated. A lot of time there… nearly half a lifetime.

Dave Attell was at the Poorhouse Saturday night (as a civilian, not a performer)… looking forward to Wednesday with Mzk and the gang.

EN had more tech issues yesterday… the poor guy’s backup machine couldn’t cut it, so he used a neighbor’s machine to take care of things. I’m still glade that Oona and MA are available as backup.

Played around with mzkitten‘s pic yesterday… fun to fiddle with a human model for a change! Got to spend some time chitty-chatting with her, sammykun and uberbastard too. Uber mentioned anarchy online and a nice person in my region that I might want to hang with, too. Anarchy is free until January, so I’ll fool with it for a bit. We’ll see if it’s got the WoW / CoH vibe going for it.

I’m just going to do chores today… maybe go see Kung Fu Hustle with Danny, and maybe hit the ol’ watering hole for a few hours.

I dreamt that I was out on walkabout with Newt… He wasn’t walking… I was pushing a shopping cart, and he was riding in the front compartment. This was obviously an insanely stupid scotto, because he wasn’t on a harness, and

IQ Dips More on Email Than Pot

Scientists find distractions of email, instant messages, and phone calls temporarily lower employee IQ by 10 points—more than twice the effect of marijuana. Continue reading 7322 – *gibber* →

Kari on call tonight, so I’m parked at the HQ again once I get home. Big Kahuna is back from Seattle, so I’ll be catching her up with pictures from the trip and making her aware of our latest four recoveries. Texas and Indiana have been really taking off.

Elephant Calling

My semi-monthly blood-sticker saw me on the news the other night. When I got to the center, they pumped me for both platelets and information about the org. I may’ve won over a convert or two to do volunteering.

Ran around There.com a bit last night… still pretty much the same.

I swung by the club long enough to drop off a card and see if I can get a little nighttime extra work out of it… it’d be nice to have a little mad money, the people are nice and the networking there is excellent.
