Hearing my sweetheart laugh is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

Fox’s “hidden camera” show is fantastic, too by the way.. if anything, it’s too short. They need to put on two-hour specials.

Relaxing now, unwinding before heading off to sleep.

Puttering around the web…

Licensed variants of Monopoly. In Monopoly, you buy properties and then charge people increasingly exorbitant amounts of money when they stay there. As board games go, it’s a workable metaphor. It doesn’t apply to everything though. I mean, you can’t build a hotel on Bulbasaur. It just doesn’t work.

True porn clerk stories… I wonder if christin can relate? This is an utterly fascinating journal about working in a porn shop. The author stays away from the usual “my wacky job” clichés, and instead writes with great humor and insight about not only the unusual customers and politics of renting porn, but also about the effects on herself, and how the experience has changed her. It’s a long set of entries, all remarkable and entertaining.

the Phobia list.

The Ace Doubles Paperback Image Library – ignore the ugly website design and savor the art of cheezy vintage paperbacks. Great illustrations, nifty titles, breathless story descriptions, crazy hand lettering … it’s all there.

100 Years of Jell-O ads.

nighty-night dear journal.

Random Scotto factoid – I don’t like to use two deodorants at the same time, if they’re different brands.

If I run out of right guard, in the middle of one pit, I’ll wash it again, before applying arid extra dry. Some sort of irrational fear of mixing the chemicals, like mixing bleach and dishwashing detergents, even though I don’t think either can contains ammonia or mild acids. a secondary concern is having the scents mixed. Mind you, I don’t mind having cologne and deodorant on at the same time (he says, applying patchouli)

Also, this is an excuse to try out my “Newton through the wheel of time” icon… photos cycle backwards over three apartments, from the year 2002 back to 2000. (I should apply some baby piccies at the very end.)

Well, off to work for real, now. *Waves bye-bye*

I dreamt last night that I was spelunking, and found a big, open cave with an underground river, full of blind, albino/transparent crayfish. I was up with the sun this morning…and opted to run around the house with Newtie in the A/C rather than riding up to the beach…so sue me. 🙂 I like to play with the baby, y’know.

Note to self… need more cat-sand and cat-food by Saturday night.

Holding off on the epidural for a while… that’s a good thing. My back is Jim-dandy right now, anyhow.

N Arr… I be a pi-r8. N With me faithful orange-parrot-cat I be a downloadin’ like a fool, I be. got some spiffy new toys to investigate… most of it flashy-stuff, just to teach myself more when I get more time. I also have a good line on a new plot for a short story, I think.

Ooh… the anagram server is nifty. scottobear can be rearranged quite a few ways, with a minimum of effort. I especially like “Boca’s Otter”, “Tote Cobras”, “Cat Booster”, “Taboo Crest” and “Reboot Scat”

Well, off to the showers… then to work! Be home tonight, dear journal.

Check out GM’s new experimental car. Electric power. Motors in each wheel. Configurable body. This looks so much like Car Wars it isn’t even funny. They’re not showing weapon mountings, though . . . yet.

Newt-ham

Back from the lab.. What a bucket of hassle that was! I had to wait two hours to take a five hour exam.. Draw blood, wait a half hour, draw blood, wait a half hour, draw blood, wait an hour, ad infenitem until about 2. Caught the bus to the drugstore, picked up my scrips for the back, and am now, finally, at home.

Newt seems delighted to see me, so I’m off to play with him for a bit, and maybe have a nap.

Until later, dear journal!

Oh, launch.yahoo.com can be reached at just launch.com, too.

Going to the lab this morning at 7:30…

I think that afterwards, I’m going back home to lie down! Sakes… I’m going to be fried about 2pm, otherwise.

Hey, look! It’s the Joy Machine! I want one for under my house!

Actually, I’m already pretty beat. *creeeak* Fresh from the shower, steam knocked me out.

Hmm… angry corn ghosts burning police cars... There’s a story there, somewhere.

Two Sheriffs Deputies park their cruisers and enter a cornfield looking for marijuana plants. They find some, then notice some smoke rising in the distance. When they investigate the smoke, they find their cruisers engulfed in flames.

Since they came to a cornfield on a dirt road, they looked for a dust cloud to see if anyone had recently driven by. There wasn’t one.

That can surely be spun off into something.

Ponch and Jon are chasing two guys that have a pickup truck mounted laser. Jon is on horseback, and Ponch is dressed as a cowboy, and has George “goober” Lindsey in the passenger seat.

It’s not a dream, it’s on TNT.

One of my bro’s sponsors (viper fins) renewed him…now he needs a boogie board sponsor again, maybe tundra?

This morning I dropped my old apartment keys to the landlord there…getting the full security back by this weekend…. “the check is in the mail”. $525.. That’s like found money. I was expecting her to write me a check when I got there, it was pretty much implied… but she claimed that her checkbook was at home, and that I could come by tomorrow and get it, or have her mail it. I asked her to please mail it, so I wouldn’t have to drive out of my way again.

I’m giving it by Saturday to make it to my hot little hands, before I start checking on it more intensely.

This bicycling deal is working out surprisingly well for my upper-body strength…I can feel it in my arms already. Enforced posture is a good thing.

I went by the police station today, and registered my bike… I now have a little red sticker with an ID number and state of Florida logo embossed in reflective white just above my tail light. I also discovered the serial number for my bike is visible only if you flip the thing upside down.

Now I have to put some other stickers on there… maybe that “hand caught in chain” crush hazard by the gears. 🙂

Got the meeting with bonbon worked out… I imagine more project requests will come from her in the near future… putting it off “indefinitely” until it has all the parts she wants.

Tomorrow is a visit to the doc’s .. follow-up on my back, and general checkup. I have a good feeling about that.
