7628 –

Magda’s Birthday!

More allergy shots today. I have to call the primary and get more referrals for next time.

3 years ago, Danny and I discovered heroclix, and I posted the zombie picture yesterday just out of randomness.


I dreamt that I killed my older sister by accident.

To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never had an older sister.

She fell down the stairs because she tripped on a stack of books that I’d left at the top.

I don’t think I’ve ever lived in a multi-story home with a staircase like that. It sort of reminded me of Pam’s Mom’s place… I still vividly remember sleeping over there before our road trip to Disney. Right down to the dinotopia calendar. I always liked her mom… Paul, I was not to crazy about.

I have very fond memories of watching Doctor Doctor with her on the phone, and the both of us laughing our fool heads off. Really a shame that friendship fell apart.

The steps in the dream were covered with bright yellow and lime green shag carpet.


If somebody offered you half a million dollars to pack your lunch, would you take it? (note the comments section, too)


How to View the Perseid Meteor Showers

If, around August 12th, you go outside between midnight and dawn and look up for a minute or so, you’ll most likely spot a meteor streaking through the sky. The August Perseid meteors were the first that astronomers associated with a particular comet. In the mid 1860s, Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli observed that Perseids followed the appearance of the Swift-Tuttle Comet.


Billy Harvey’s website has a fun interface…. I don’t normally dig arbitrary use of flash, but this works well.


To tell if you have bad breath:

1. Lick your wrist
2. Wait ten seconds for it to dry
3. Sniff your wrist

Disclaimer: Doesn’t work if your wrists normally smell bad, or if your breath smells very strongly of wrist.


The personalized google homepage is really what a portal is all about… especially since you can add feeds to it now. (plus, google has a way of making feeds based off of new searches, too) It’d be my primary web-feed reader, if I didn’t already syndicate on LJ.

Unable to schedule much journal-time lately.. just harried at work, for the most part. The memories of teachers are fascinating… I look forward to seeing more of them.


Haven’t gotten a single call from bro since he landed in the pokey.. I wonder if there’s some sort of call block going on?


The racket in my head is at a dull murmur now. The sounds are at least more synchronized. If only the sounds outside would do that once in a while.


Moment of Lyric:

7623 – Muh-muh-muhndee.

Lunch meeting went well, coving call not too bad.

Monday meeting this morning. Blech.

First day of school for most kids in this region.


Crazy Thunderstorms all weekend, started last Thursday. More electricity than water.


Thunderstorm on Miami Beach.

Susie is working Friday nights now as bartender… that shuffled Mariah to thurdaysa, and Melissa right off the schedule… not cool, even if Susie is a total doll. Melissa got fairly hosed out of the deal. The New Weekend manager is Larry’s Ex-wife, and seems ok, but Gil is still my fave.


Random Scotto factoid: I say thank you to automatic doors. Also, in the morning, when I’m the first one to the building, I’ll gesture with my hand forward, and trip the mechanism while saying “Sim-sim-sala-bim!”


“When Captain American throws his mighty shield…
All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield…
If he’s led to a fight and a duel is due then the red and the white and blue will come through…

I can’t believe I’m the only person that wants to visit Danny the Street.

Lost my journal entry to deepest sender? I’ll have to see if I can recover it from draft, after my lunch meeting today.

Very odd.. 2nd dropped entry in the last month. Probably coincidence (last was semagic, this one was deepest sender). I’ll have time to rebuild it if I must during call today.

Go look at jumpingpictures if you’re bored.

Phone Post: 7618 – Walkabout though the valley of the homeless

(Help)

“On this morning’s walk, I was hit up no less than 6 times by vagrants for change or anything I could give them. I don’t know what’s happening with this population down here, they’re not going back up north for the summer, or if they are, the population that’s remaining is very high. I think that if the population triples again come September/early October that the situation here will become intolerable. I can’t see walking, y’know, 4 miles and having a bunch of hands stuck out, reaching at me… y’know, this isn’t Calcutta. I… I don’t need, don’t want, um, people in varying levels of um, mental health and physical health and cleanliness just sticking their hands out, just begging for money… can’t tell who really needs it, who wants a fix, who wants beer, uh, and who really needs help. All I can do is tell people where St. Vincent’s is, tell people where the homeless shelters are, and take it from there. I absolutely cannot give money to anyone anymore. It’s a dice roll I’m not going to make.

Well, that’s, um, officially random, I guess. Right now I’m at the Coral Square Mall, hanging out in the mostly-dead food court, there’s still a Chinese food place, a uh… random grill and a pizza joint, but all the good stuff’s gone. There used to be a French bread place… that’s gone, uh, a couple other little snacky-places that are just no longer here. And uh, I think I’ll just walk around here for a little bit then go to the club in a bit, come noon or one o’clock, and then report back home while uh my tech has to go to the gym. I’ll take call. Then my night’s free. I’ll have Saturday night and all day Sunday to do walkabout and hang out and have fun. Don’t know what I’m gonna do yet, but I’ll take things as they come.

I hope your day is good, I’ll talk to you later, dear journal. You have a great one. Bye.”

MM has some new things going on in life, and now is unable to take cal from Th-Su. That means I have to find a person to take Th & Sa, and backup on the weekend (should something happen to EN) is semi-shot. I’ve got to see if P is interested in Th, and if OD can do Sats… or if anyone can do sats… I know I don’t want to be saddled with ’em again. Missed going out last minght, and may miss it tonight, too, depending on EN. Sunday should be all mine, though.


I’ve never met a “Lisa” on LiveJournal that I didn’t like. I know about 7 now.


Beautiful NASA images

Self-Portrait (top image)
Astronaut Steve Robinson turns the camera on himself during his historic repair job “underneath” Discovery on August 3. The Shuttle’s heat shield, where Robinson removed a pair of protruding gap fillers, is reflected in his visor.

Unprecedented Vista (bottom image)
Discovery’s underside floats over the Earth in this first-of-its-kind view, taken during astronaut Steve Robinson’s dramatic August 3 spacewalk. Riding the International Space Station’s robot arm, Robinson ventured under the Shuttle to remove a pair of gap fillers sticking out between tiles on the orbiter’s heat shield.


Moment of Lyric:

almost forgot –

Last night, I dreamt that I was waiting for a bus… my semi-wakeful state told me that I was sleepin on a bus-bench because I didn’ twant to miss my ride. Newt woke me up with snugs and bips, and I had a moment of location shock when I opened my eyes and I wasn’t outside, but in my own bed. (and sleeping in the buff under a blanket… in the dream, I was wearing outdoor clothes, with no covers)

Welcome to my wall scrawls.
