6812- Here on Fibber Island, No one sings alone.

Just close your eyes, start living in your mind, and see what you can find.

I sometimes wonder if pod is shorthand for piece of dirt. Usually, like today, I don’t think so.


Sugar Water Cibo Matto Video. Pretty Sharp synced movements. Split screen, the story is told forward and backwards simultaneously.


I’ve never been crazy about going into space. I like my oxygen where it’s plentiful, and I don’t have to rely on someone else to get the mix right. Space is beautiful, but it’s also cold, and empty… with the very occasional ice, rock and burning star. I think that I’m happier earthbound and surrounded by all the stuff here.


Anyone who makes a Dave Chapelle joke about Rick James kicking the bucket had better be pretty creative, or they get three “you’re lame” points in my great big book of everything. You can make all the “super freaky” cracks you want though. Heh, I said crack, and he had a cocaine problem. Unintentional.


Random TMI Factoid – Newton *hates* when I burp at him after eating animal crackers. He gave me a bob, weave and head shake to recover.


I’ve never met my family in any of my travels through time, but I’ve narrowly avoided myself a few times.

Not a joke, though I wish it were.


To Lighten the mood… Magical Trevor.


I don’t even really drink, but I really dig these cocktail demons. I wonder if they make monkeys?

6811 – Balloons?

Wow… Friday already. this week was nuts. I’m on call much of the weekend, but I managed to hand a good chunk of Sunday off, though 4-7 I have to be on top of things. No major walkabout, it seems. I think I’ll do the Wolfsonian, the week after.


It’s been over a year since the last episode of Skeletor and Gang was made. I’ve always been partial to #14… That’s a pretty good approximation of South Florida nightlife.


I want to be with Mi Hala, holding hands, and sharing her space right now. Best, closest thing is to just join energy across boundless space and time… all hippy-like.


Bro’s case yesterday was just a calendar call. he’s on one hour notice for a hearing that should take place sometime next week. Apparently Andy was there, smelling of beer and looking rough, bro was clean and in a tie.

We’ll see what that week brings. He hasn’t been terribly communicative lately.

Hm… malam seems to have given away his lj account. I imagine someone approached him for the username, since he hasn’t updated well before he left sportsline and moved to Seattle. His old domain is empty, too.


If there’s a bustle in your hedge row… don’t be alarmed now. It’s just a spring clean for the May Queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run; there’s still time to change the road you’re on.

I wish I had a record of my life growing up like this. I’m a sucker for nostalgia, especially of about the same time frame.

Work has been so hectic lately… so many things to do, so few hours in the day. I’m doing my best not to work overtime, but I had a creative dream this morning broken by the thought that I have to do monthly statistics, now that it’s August…. That put me in a grump. I don’t need work stepping on creativity during non-work hours.

All I remember from the dream was that I was at the doctor, and was having some sort of procedure done to my sinuses. Some sort of underwater pressure on my head, drowning me “for my own good, to clear things out.” I guess I was too far gone for a neti pot and some antibiotics.

6805 – pieholes and crutches

Well, I broke a c-note on my adsense account… we’ll see how quickly google decides to send me my check. (they have until the end of September to do it, because I rolled right on the first of august… they get 30 days from the end of any month ending with >$100.

A German company offered me another $20 to put a “sponsoren” link on my main page, too It’s small and unobtrusive… and links to text, no graphics, no pop ups and no porn. So far, my ad-links are paying about $90-100 a month on average, all told. I’m amazed… this is almost as good as what designers in there were making about six months ago. I don’t know how long it’ll last, but I’ll happily take the money until they decide to stop paying me.

I notice that all of my adsense links are for public service items today… a result of the hundred dollar hump?


With comics like these, I can’t help but vote redemopublicratican. Godzilla has my vote all over Morgan Freeman. warning, some potty-mouthage.

6804 – Break out the Ark, it's a cloudburst!

Ah, now I’m happy.

I take great pleasure from tropical rainstorms… even if I get soaked to the bone waiting for a bus, the massive crashes of thunder and the perfect sedative nature of being at home with all this noise outside is perfectly restive.

I’m here, comfortably curled up with a blanket and Newt… the only thing that’d make it better would be having my sweetheart under the covers with me. (and the additional fur-kids, too.)

Counting Newts is even better than counting sheep to fall asleep.

6803 – My land is a multi-colored land

August 2, 2004

http://www.fdle.state.fl.us/press_releases/20040802_Threat_Level.html

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Tom Ridge announced today that the threat level is being raised from Elevated-“Yellow” to High-“Orange” for the financial districts of New York City and Washington D.C. There is no specific threat to Florida and the state remains at a “Yellow” or elevated level along with the rest of the country.

“Florida remains at Yellow. The public can be confident in the fact Florida has a sound domestic security strategy and protocol in place,” said Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Guy Tunnell. “However, it is important for Florida’s citizens and visitors to be vigilant while continuing with their daily activities.”

Precautions the public can take are very similar to steps residents would take for a hurricane. They include:

  • Continue with normal activities while being aware of your surroundings. Exercise caution while traveling.
  • Be alert to suspicious activity and report it to your local law enforcement agency.
  • Develop an emergency communications and disaster plan and exercise that plan.
  • Prepare a disaster supplies kit to sustain your family for three to seven days. It should include a supply of water, food, flashlight, a battery-powered radio, and a first-aid kit.

6802 – August? Where did last month run off to?

I’ve got to remember to drop my monthly monies in the mail to the landlord. Bro’s court date is either tomorrow, or Wednesday, I forget which. I’m sure I’ll be reminded by end of day.

I can’t believe that I’ve been at my current gig for almost a year now. Serious time compression / dilation on that side of things.

Cripes… speaking of which, I have my Monday meeting today.. there goes another few hours into the john, unless I can give my update, and bug out.

I’m rather groggy… yesterday’s rainstorm put me in some sort of precipitation and cat-snuggle coma for a longer span of time that I needed to sleep. I fell into a deep slumber surrounded by the sounds of water hitting windows and roof, much rolling thunder, and Newt-purrs.


I’m really glad that the pro-wrestling trend has again retreated back into the seedy, tacky corner it came from. Now, I can cope with the wacky stuff like Luchadores and Midget Wresting (or best of all, a joining of the two), but the mainstream WWF/WWE/WWwhatever was just boring and invasive. I haven’t felt this good about something not bombarding my media since Clive Barker faded from view.


Ok, this is probably a rental, but I’d love to see a movie with thunderbirds-type puppets doing satire on the big screen, too. Team America – World Police

Can’t play a particular DiVX movie? This codec pack might help (Klite is just codecs, mega is codecs plus a quicktime alternative and a realplayer alternative) it’s kept fairly up to date, so it’s worth checking back the next time a DiVX doesn’t work in the future, too.Site Meter

Interesting quote that applies to many blogs out here…

“You will just have to accept being addressed by a disembodied voice just as I accept the compulsion to speak out even though I am painfully aware that I am talking to an invisible, perhaps nonexistent audience.”
–Robert Shea, The Eye in the Pyramid

How many IQ points were lost? Any added paranoia? Dementia? What aspects were opened and closed?

I won’t even venture into other chemical changes.

6800 – I'll be left there on the wall at the store.

Didn’t do much with Danny last night… went to the Ole’ Ole’, got a plate of loaded nachos and a couple of margaritas, and meandered a little while talking about nothing in particular. The evening was interrupted briefly by the big kahuna calling in on my cell phone, and my giving her a quick tutorial on how to use outlook express to send attachments.

We walked over to the Museum of Discovery and Science, where I picked up a couple of trinkets of happiness for assorted folks. A little treatie-wheatie for my sweetie, in particular… Also, I need to get a few other addresses to send stuff.
