If you lived in my journal, you’d be home right now.
On waking up this morning, I’m feeling better. I wish it were Saturday, so I could run around and play all day, rather than go to work. Well… next Friday I can do that.
Dreamt about my sweetheart and I trick or treating. We brought the kitties with us and they had treat bags of their own, because someone said we were too big to get candy. She was dressed as a leopard and I was wearing a lion-tamer outfit. I wonder why I wasn’t dressed as a lion? Maybe it was too hot. A pith helmet, whip, and a chair.. not the Las Vegas Magician style.
Hmmm… reviewing ebay costs, the mind sifter like the one I want to get rid of is going for between $10-$20. I’ll hang on to it and try to sell it at the convention in November. I’d like to swap it for some other fun figures that I’d be more likely to use. (or even a painted version of him, and a friendly trade bait figure)
Random Scotto factoid – I really like the Dick van Dyke show. They make a great married couple, and can make me laugh without any shock-innuendo.
The Klan gets stylish, and oh, my gosh… Talk Dirty to Me – Things overheard at the STD clinic I’d like to see the whole list.
Speaking of the Klan…Google self-censors? I forget about other countries not having freedom of speech.
Note(s) to self:
- Talk about Charlie, the jerky white-supremacist cab driver sometime soon.
- Call and wish Grammy a Happy Birthday this weekend. (She’ll be 80) Handy rule of thumb…Grammy’s 25 years older than Mom, Mom’s 25 years older than Bro. If I can keep track of bro’s birthday in ’72, I’m set. Other Note to Self, Mom’s Birthday is a week from now.
The problem with having a lot of photography journals on your friends list is that some folks just don’t lj-cut images that are extra wide.
Interesting new feature on lj… a list of folks popular with your friends. Who you might be interested in…The following friends are listed often by your friends, but not by you…
Hmm… certainly a little accounting for taste, there. I’d say that there are about three people on that list that I enjoy seeing “around”… and there are about fifteen people on there that I’m not crazy about… had on my list for a while, or know by indirect connection. There are a few wildcards though. Some folks I don’t know at all are – debby, rillifane, thistimearound, coutlaw, gozar and beckmermaid. Oddly, the only community was
I’m glad that it seems that the snipers in Maryland have been caught… I hope that’s the end of that horrible stress. One less thing for folks to worry about. That’s a layer of the onionskin I can peel off. I hope that decompression continues… I feel a couple of weights remaining to be lifted.
I really like the Salem police department’s shoulder patch. That’s the real logo.
Random Scotto factoid – I associate scarecrows with ghosts, but I don’t think of them as frightening. I feel that it’s the arms outstretched perpendicular, strikes me more like a waiting and friendly embrace rather than something that’s been crucified. Perhaps the ghost vibe comes from the old clothes involved in the production I think. The last costume I wore was a scarecrow, going to see Lenny Kravitz with Nicole and Heather… (They were The Wicked Witch and Dorothy, by the way… Both looked outstanding. I still have the floppy hat that I wore, somewhere.) I got some nice compliments when I went out with those two…”Way to go! Lucky Man!” People tended to assume I was dating one or both of them. They were funny… they’d make up stories about me, and then start to believe them… because of something I might have said offhand. I’d feed their imagination by never confirming or denying anything, instead, just leaving open-ended questions with replies that instead raised more queries.
Sweet dreams, dear journal. Or in the words of my pet skeleton…
and when I say good night
the pictures in my head
will dance around the room
and frolic in my bed
and when I say good day
they hide behind my eyes
waiting for the dreaming
to bring them back to life
ew… who makes a chocolate frosted apple-filled doughnut? I just ate it for breakfast…my bro brought me the doughnut last night… he went on a goodie run, and dropped it off late. Another perq of having him next door, to be sure! 🙂
I thought it’d be Bavarian cream or something. It’s an unusual combination of flavors. not bad, just unexpected. it was a glazed, filled doughnut, with chocolate icing on top… you figure… custard or cream, right?
Wrong-o… Apple-cinnamon.
Nice sugar rush to follow, though, I’m sure. 🙂
Ok… off to work, Mr. Scotto, chocolate/apple gizzard guy.
f-in’ a, man. *snort*
Weirdo dreams last night… I dreamt that I was a professional shopper.. one of those guys that goes to stores, buys something, and then appraises the salespeople. I was pretty nice overall, but got mad when a lady figured out who I was, and tried to bribe me with free hats.
Hmm.. I was hasty on judging the Newtcam dead… it looks ok this morn… I guess it’s just spotty. (I’m still getting a new one, soon.)
Egads! There’s a Cap’n Crunch and (even better) Jean La Foote action figure! I wonder if Jean’ll be at the toy fair this thanksgiving.
Regarding the picture… It’s my sweetheart and me working on the steam-powered battle tank… Let’s see the zombies get through this! Undead meanies… if there are any mummies, they’ll be dry enough to use for fuel!
The BBC has won a court case against the Metropolitan Police over the trademark of the TARDIS…er, police box.
D’oh! I left my camera at work! How’d I do that? It must’ve been because I had my handspring in my pocket. Looks like Bonbon spawn#2 got a talking to for drag racing on company time…not to mention Buddha, Sissy-Greg, and Buddha2 got in trouble for sleeping on the job. Second time in two days. I’m *very* surprised they didn’t get fired… just a suspension for a day.
Wachovia now has my proof of residence… I’m probably going to get a call tomorrow, confirming that I can open the account.
One of my dollars made it to Scottsdale Arizona! Ito only took 2 yrs, 238 days, 22 hrs, 19 min to get there… traveled 1963 miles (or an average of 2 miles a day)
I registered years ago with Where’s George, and forgot about it about six months later. I registered maybe a dozen bills, and grew bored when none came back. Now that I’ve finally gotten some confirmation, I’ll start registering more, just to see where it goes. I think that I first found out about Where’s George via Ana cam, just like I found LiveJournal, though I haven’t really been to Ana cam in ages. Danny still has a T-shirt from her site somewhere… it’s a great shirt.
I’ve just found an interesting element of the magic levitation rules…Dave’s going to get it, next time we play. Mage knight rules stuff
ok… off to work, with positive thoughts and good vibes for them that I love.. have a good day, dear journal.
two years ago … painted desert dreams with my love / fun with virtual lite-brite
a year ago… crabwise, popinjay, colloidal silver, jim verillo in court, days of the dead, and remembering the painted desert again.
Paper airplane simulator is fun for a few tosses. My best distance is 102.3682 feet
Didn’t go for the morning cycle today… just wasn’t into it. I preferred to walk around my apartment building and the blocks surrounding. I want to get a more intimate knowledge of my region.
More free movies in my vicinity Young Frankenstein, Rocky Horror, Men in Black and Back to the Future… the weather’s getting nice, too. Python wasn’t bad, not too muggy… but the nights are much more pleasant now.
I look at the LJ logo of a pencil, and wonder if a broken record wouldn’t be a better one.
Hee… Dave picked this thing up to take on my big guns…I like the shoulder-turreted dwarves. The detail is *excellent*… I wonder how they get such good work on such an inexpensive product… like MacFarlane’s toys. I’ll be interested in seeing how well it stands up to cannon-fire.
Looks like ye olde Newtie webcamme is about kaput. He put in a good term of service… a few solid years. I’ll pick up a fresh one the next time I hit the office depot…they’re so cheap these days! It’s so old that Windows 2000 doesn’t have a support driver for it… sort of been fudging with a home-brew one I found online after the system was reformatted. I’d still like to grab a Lego cam to work with the rest of the mindstorm stuff.
In a similar vein, here’s an article about camera zapping with a laser pointer… neat! Temporary, too.
Newer Giant Rubber Monster Movies I plan on burning to VCD, over time.
annnd.. good night!

oh, Newt’s being cute, and since the webcam is being fritzy, I took some digipix instead. It’s been a span since I’ve put any up, so I think four is acceptable. I really enjoy looking at the patterns in his fur…I think that it’s close enough that I could make an animated icon, possibly.
Good news… We’re switching insurance companies at last…and the dental is staying as is. I got a refund on my aflack I discontinued the service, but they never stopped pulling it from my paycheck. All better now! Posted an update to the automatic writing thing in the original entry… I heartily recommend anyone being a member there leave before the association is made. (well, perhaps that’s too harsh. I just think that the moderator there is a bee-itch.)

Dear
Making me a member without my permission to build your fellowship up is poor form. Even more so is not listing the moderator on the bio page so that I can write in private to tell them.
Kindly do not do this in the future. Thanks.
Sincerely,

Reflections from the semi-moist
CNN has a weird news section now. Pretty, because they have higher production values than Reuter’s “Oddly Enough” which is my other fun wacky news source.
Playing with the eviltron Rubik’s cube,while my hair dries from the shower. I really like the astronauts. I still have a tiny keychain cube around here somewhere, too. Rubik’s too calm and placid? Go run over pedestrians, then. Especially with the groovy soundtrack it has. My best score there to date is 105 little dead German senior citizens.
Also see bookworm… scrabble meets bejeweled. if it becomes available for the palm, I’m in trouble.
The moon was beautiful last night, as was the quiet chirping of crickets in accompaniment. my thoughts were pleasant as I drifted off to sleep, thinking of her nestled close… a peaceful, blissful time to be sure. Awake and in the daylight now, some overflow remains…I’m going to keep and hold that seed of calm, and mentally try to get it to bloom over me today. Things at work have been a little pesky lately, and I carry thoughts of her as a touchstone to keep me happy and tranquil. I want to give her cow tales, hold her in my arms, and tell her how much I love her.
Work has begun on my second variation of my beloved in miniature… still in the planning stages. I wonder if cellophane will work as the more transparent aspects of the new costume? This one may take a while to develop properly.
Had a moment of stupidity yesterday, but I think that I’ve successfully squelched it. it hasn’t reared it’s ugly head today, much to my relief
There’s some sort of flu-bug going around work, making folks icky-sicky here and there. It’s tagged Island Boy, Chupa, Kev and I’m not sure who else. My eyes were burning a little yesterday, but that seems to have faded. I’ll be happy if it bypasses the rest of the gang… a few people going on vacation in the next week or two… (Myself included) they don’t need boogie-snots to mess it up.

idea swiped wholesale from sweetalyssm …a good one, because I’ve been feeling a bit dark lately. I’m feeling lighter now.
