8285 – Hey! I’m wearing purple!

Leave a comment

Dan mentioned that maybe Friday the 14th will be a good day to hang out after I get off of work (he’s a teacher and will be enjoying spring break) … we haven’t done anything since January, so there’s a lot of lost time to cover.

Axis and Allies is certainly on the list. Maybe go out and get an ethical massage, too.

Bug inspectors coming by the apartment today, and then a trip to the doc. Didn’t get to sleep in, because my on-call tech had to wake me for verification of a launch in California at 6:30am (2:30 their time)

Ah well, I’ll be able to take a midday nap as a treat, anyhow.

Had the blues a bit yesterday, but they’ve pretty much faded out for now. Probably a spring thing. I’m still a bit miffed about the unsolved mystery, but I’m just chalking it up to laziness for now.

Moment of Lyric: MP3 (many thanks again, Firpo!) [Hear more of them here]

There’s something Graypumpkin won’t hear on Bob!

Start wearing purple wearing purple
start wearing purple, for me now
all your sanity and wits, they will all vanish
I promise, it’s just a matter of time…
I know you since you were a twenty and i was twenty,
but thought that some years from now
a purple little little lady will be perfect
for dirty old and useless clown…
I know it all from Diogenes to Foucault
from Lozgechkin to Paspartu
I ja kljanus obostzav dva paltza
schto muzika poshla ot Zvukov Mu!…
Party!
So Fio-Fio-Fioletta! Etta! Va-va-va-vaja dama ti moja!
Eh podayte nam karetu, votetu, i mi poedem k ebenjam!
So yeah, start wearing purple wearing purple!
Start wearing purple for me now!
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish,
I promise, it’s just a matter of time!…

Translation of the Russian portion: (via)

And I swear, having pissed on two fingers,
That the music originated in Sounds of Moo

So Violetta! My lady!
Hey, get ready a coach, this one,
We will go to nowhere.

Vintage paperback book covers. I’ve linked to similar sites before, but i think this is a new one.

Nice breakdown by type –

Digest Good Girl Art, Digest Good Girl Photos, Drug Theme Paperbacks, Dust jacketed Paperbacks, Film Noir Paperbacks, Hillbilly Covers, Juvenile Delinquency, Lesbian Paperbacks, Sleaze Paperbacks, Science Fiction Covers, Vest Books, Vintage Paperbacks, Women And Water

It occurred to me this weekend that the term prophet sounds holy to me, but the term prophecy comes across as sinister, or fake.

Moment of lyric – mp3 (thank you, Firpo!)

{lyrics in braces need confirmation, due to the earliness of the hour and my poor sense of hearing}

Listen to me you explorers, Buck and Admiral Byrd,
Here’s a funny one you’ve never heard
there’s a fellow in the jungle
one you never knew
you won’t get him, but he might get you

Who’s the talk at every table from Chicago to Madrid?
Who’s the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!

All the tribes eat fruits and berries
He’s the one that never did
He Prefers his missionaries
Jojo, the cannibal kid

He could aways pass on his manner and his savoir faire
Mix with every class – eat the finest people everywhere!

Circus sends him offers daily
{Bertram mills made him a bid}
but he’s holding out for Barnum Bailey,
Jojo the cannibal kid

Mmmmyeow…
Don’t you know? He eats them alive…
{gets the ??????}
eating out, from nine to five.

boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
That is the Jojo way
boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
that means he’s on the {train}

{Everybody run and get in the car, pull all the windows down
everybody find a safe place to closet}
Jojo is now in town

Who’s the talk at every table from chicago to madrid?
Who’s the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!

All the tribes eat fruits and berries
He’s the one that never did
He Prefers his missionaries
Jojo, the cannibal kid

He could aways pass on his manner and his savoir faire
Mix with every class – eat the finest people everywhere!

Circus sends him offers daily
{Bertram mills made him a bid}
but he’s holding out for Barnum Bailey,
Jojo the cannibal kid!

(I suspect that I’m the only person with the lyrics to this song hosted on the ‘net. )

Ganked from Bubbles!

8282 – festival of Hilaria

Leave a comment

Well, I went and got a Nikon coolpix l2 (the 6 megapixel version)at office depot on sale.. got a 1 gig memory card to go with it. I’m no pro, so this should hold me for quite some time.

Sometime this weekend, I’m going to hit the tree zoo, or do some camera-safari-type action. not sure if I’ll do it today or tomorrow, depending on which way the wind blows.

Camera also has a video making capability, see Newt Chase a paper wad here. (Kindly ignore the pile of socks visible at the end… I was preparing laundry piles when I got distracted and decided to play with Newt instead.

Please, no overly mean or dangerous April fool’s jokes on or around me today. thanks. Instead, of me pranking other folks, have the Origin of April Fool’s Day, via how stuff works, and wikipedia has a nice entry as well. Some Hoaxes taking place this year.

Coding4fun! – Randomly Opening CD Tray would drive me nuts.

My Scotto utility belt now contains a pda, a gps, a beeper, a cell phone, and a digital camera. Every one of them has a built in way to check what time it is. Why on earth would I want to wear a watch?

Looks like I’m taking a day off from work on April 4… getting inspected for termites, an I don’t want to leave my keep with a snoopy mc snooperson.

Cats over *6* are considered to be seniors? Newtie is still pretty dang fit, thank goodness, and not as overweight as he used to be. I know a lot of 12-year old kitties that are still plenty sprightly, too… I suspect they’re shifting the curve a bit low there.

I like the word shleep for the kind of sleep you get from counting sheep. I could use some nice, solid shleep tonight!

Think of your favorite underrated film, type the name into Google and do an image search. Find the best pic and then post it in your journal, but don’t say what the name of the movie is! Once you post the picture, it’s up to your friends to figure out what the movie is from the pic you posted!

here’s mine: (it’s also my wallpaper on buckyball at the moment – clicking makes giantness)

I like hanging out with pirates that enjoy Pink Floyd and smart, pretty girls that wear dragonfly wings. So, why am I bored with the ren-fest?

Chacarron is still stuck in my head, despite my best efforts to purge it with: One Nigh tin Bangkok, The Love Boat Theme, and Old McDonald Had a farm (with butterflies, paramecium and giraffes)

I am in league with Xenu, in exchange for his dark powers, and cool space lear jet. Also, I like to make underlings dump water on their heads.

Condo Commando meeting last night gave me brain drain, but the day at work went well. Busy, but positive. CCM was a lot of old people talking loudly and not listening to each other. Got Kudos at work, as did ECN for fine performance on call, and handling weird situations.

160 gig drive finally showed up, so the big brain drama is officially over. Started Nov. 10, 2005 – Ended March 20, 2006. Rest in peace.

Moment of Lyric (mp3)

I keep on fear, keep on loathing
Nothing brings it on I keep on falling
Decide what it is I can not find
It’s subsides what you make it
Never feel like you’re gonna break it
It’s gonna be all right all right
Sleep until the morning comes
The sun will warm your soul
Sleep until the morning comes for you
‘Til the morning it’s all right
I can walk into the sunlight, into the day, into the day, to the day
I feel it falling, nothing comes to my mind
Bring it on in a different tide
I feel all right, all right
I feel strong, I feel rigid
It’s nothing to do with the vision
Oh feels so right, so right
Sleep on tight, sleep on tight
Sleep until the sunlight
Sleep until sunlight
Sleep on tight
Sleep on tight
Sleep on tight
Sleep on tight, ’til the sunlight
Sleep on tight, ’til the sunlight burns you happy
‘Til the sunlight burns you happy, till the sunlight burns a happy hole in
Your heart,
In your heart
In your heart…

Samuel L Jackson on Ellen on SNAKES ON A PLANE (youtube)

St. Patty’s plans got sacked for me at the last minute, this time, Mom and Wilt just had far too much to handle before launching this morning for parts south. Instead, I opted to go to Bonefish Mac’s, a place run by one of RR’s pals. IT was pretty festive and fun, though it wasn’t terribly Irish…. no green beer, though I did have a couple of Heinekins in green bottles with my grilled cheese and veggie-wich. Met some friendly folk there, and Bethany gave me her digits. (Ulterior motives, though – she needs her computer updated. Still, she’s nice, and fun to talk to, so it’d be good to get a buddy that’s a local.)

Was reminded that I can get tossed into a crew of random-folk and come out of it with a lot of comfortable conversation. That was a big win, and there were no real jerky-types at all… only one downer guy, Robert, a tile-worker / carpenter from Pennsylvania, having trouble finding work. I cave him Wilt’s card for renovations, etc… maybe he’s worth a shot as labor. He’ll have to wait a week for Wilt to return, but aside from that, I think Robert’s chances are good for finding a basic gig.

8248 – Thursday, is it?

Leave a comment

Ramma-frazzin’ ding dang gig. I had to bail on the dinner party last night because of last minute tech issues. I felt like a heel cutting out 5 hours before the scheduled time, especially since I was looking so forward to the get-together. There’s another one next Wednesday… I’m going to do everything I can to make it.

The Grampa poll yesterday yielded some very nifty results and replies!

Tonight I go over to RS’s place and set the computer up so Gabe can burn himself some music safely (on top of making sure RS’s machine is up to snuff for the rest of the office’s duties.)

Friday, I’ll see Mom and Wilton off for their trip to Brazil for a week. I’ll be on call again, so they’ll have to swing by my place, but that works… We’ll do Chinese food to ring in St. Patty’s.

LONDON (Reuters) – Bats, whales and dolphins use it to communicate. Baby rodents call their mothers with it and now a rare Chinese frog has shown it can hear and respond to ultrasounds, scientists said on Wednesday. Continue reading 8248 – Thursday, is it? →

Oh, gross. Papa John’s pizza newest ad campaign is a reworking of the Go-Go’s… singing “We got the Meat”.

There are far too many ways of misconstruing that.

Dinner Party with WM tonight! Stuffed Shells and Vino! Somebody advise me on a wine to bring, please.

Moment of Lyric: mp3

This is the central scrutinizer…
Joe has just worked himself into an imaginary frenzy during the fade- out of his imaginary song
he begins to feel depressed now.
he knows the end is near.
he realized at last that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the imagination of the imaginer
and ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway?
so…so…excuse me…so
who gives a fuck anyway?
so he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo

Isaac Hayes quits South Park

“This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology,” Stone told the Associated Press. “He has no problem – and he’s cashed plenty of checks – with our show making fun of Christians.”

Well, yeah… not to mention Jews, Mormons, Atheists, Rednecks, Santa and who knows what else. Funny how he bailed once they picked on his team.
