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.

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!

Leave a comment

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.

via the FDLE –

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?

Leave a comment

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

I wonder how much my intelligence and personality has been altered as a result of playing with mercury when I was in high school?Site Meter

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.

Little kids in turtlenecks can be sort of creepy. Especially in the summertime.

Whirlwind days lately.. lots of work to do, pressure high. I’m dealing with it pretty well, but LH nearly quit I think.

Skinbags – gear made out of synthetic human skin. (in all sorts of shades.. black, asian, pink white, mixed, and Tattoo personalization : name, sentence, logo)

Oh, I really rather think the aprons are something. Yeek!

Gene Simmons sings Firestarter.

Also Yeek. I wonder if he’s a real doofus, of if his public life is another Andrew Dice Clay act?

This whole touch screen thing makes Florida look like it *wants* to be guilty of more voter drama.

My sensitivities to my environment are out of whack a little bit, today. I feel numb to some things, and overly aware of others. Every hair on my right arm seems to be a high-powered sensor.

Want to listen to my station?

I’ve been using launch radio, calendar, weather, news and games a lot lately on my Y!M. Tasty little app.

oOmiaq wrote me recently, and thanked me for listening to his music. My pleasure, oOm.

Dan bailed for tonight, but we’ll probably get together tomorrow. I don’t mind, save for the short notice. I don’t really want to go to the Seminole casino on a flippin’ Friday, so that’s going to have to wait. I’m not sure what I want to do for my solo Saturday walkabout, yet. That Moonlight movie is that night… that could be a fun time. Maybe I’ll hit Port Everglades during the day, and see if I can spot some free-swimming manatees or turtles. I found out after my recent trip to Miami that there’s a natural calving / nursery area there.

Maybe tonight I’ll hit the Museum ‘f Art. It’s free until the end of August, just up the street, open until 9pm on Thursdays, and air-conditioned.
