She checks the pipe, while I tighten the lug nutsWeirdo 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

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.

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.)

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.

Randomly placed Pirate ghost with space-laser sword - ARrr! He Has nothing to do with any of the text in this entry. 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.

Things about this day that gladdens the heart –

  1. Waking up slowly & feeling the world around me start to begin to live
  2. Hot shower
  3. Email from my sweetheart/ my hearing her voice in my mind as a result
  4. Popcorn scent
  5. Sounds of Newt licking a fresh ice cube
  6. Work Clothes coming off at the end of the day
  7. Nag champa smoke ribbons
  8. Cheddar Corn-curls

Yup… my g: drive is just about toast. It keeps saying that it’s been removed. It could be the cable, but I doubt it as the machine hasn’t been moved very much. Next time it comes back up, I’m mirroring it over to f… I hope that it snaps back long enough to do so. Fortunately, I’ve only been using it primarily for just kazaa and temporary games.

The G: was the last remaining part from Astley’s old “gray market” machine, short of the case. It was only a matter of time. I’ll replace it with a bigger HD as a self-gift this coming holiday.

Poor Dave is banned from getting any more toy soldiers to play mage knight with me, at least for the time being…which I think is fine. We both have more than enough pieces to play a big honking battle, plus we’ve been trading amongst ourselves to our mutual benefit. (I’m not planning on getting any more myself, unless something really amazing comes out in the next expansion… like pirate ships or something.)

Little knot on my skull seems to be ok… sore to the touch, but the swelling has gone mostly down, and I don’t notice it unless I run a finger over it.

I’ve discovered that whenever ER is on, it’s always about the abandoned little Russian girl. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen any other episode, though I’ve run over this one about five times.

The Accexpo is coming soon…I thought it was thanksgiving weekend, but it looks like it’s the weekend before now. It looks like they need volunteers.. maybe I’ll take on a shift for free tickets. Security or door monitor is easy work, and you get some lovely perqs… free t-shirt and all. The gaming schedule has very little listed…the Marvel heroclix and mage knight head to head looks like the only things there that tickle my fancy, thus far.

Ok, enough lollygagging…off to work. See you later, dear journal.

Bonked my head on a branch outside, earlier. A mild bump formed, but nothing terrible.

My machine’s being downright pesky… giving it a healthy defrag and diagnostic… hopefully that’ll fix what’s wrong. Lost the HD for a bit.

it’s still pretty chunky, but it’s still limping along reasonably well…just a stick and stop sort of thing.

Macho man!

Who wants to be the leather guy for halloween! *snort*

Back from the bike ride…took a few piccies, but nothing worth saving…nice to get out of the house for a little while. I guess the boat show‘s coming soon…all the richie-riches will be in town with the yachts and such. I wonder if it’d be cool to swing by the Las Olas marina for kids to go trick or treating? With those guys, you’ll probably get the *good* stuff.

Newton’s Kitten ratings are doing well..

Raining out now… came from out of nowhere. Good nappy-nap weather… go watch we come in peace cartoons, while I gaze lovingly at my sweetie and snuggle with Newt.

Update on that spiced Tofu … it was good, but not *crazy good*… maybe a 6/10. I’d make it again, but I wouldn’t go out of my way. I think I can whip something a little zippier with many of the supplies at hand.

William Christopher is 70? Who knew he was voices in the Smurfs, as well as Father Mulcahy?

Cute movie ads… Fellowship of the ring is the best of the lot.

Little known Movie factoid – In the short story that 2001: A space odyssey was based on, the Monoliths were crystal pyramids.

Little known Scotto factoid – I like a lot of science fiction, but feel that 2001 is basically plotless and highly overrated. It’s easy to assign a great depth of meaning to places there are none. I like to find shapes in clouds, too…that doesn’t mean that there really is a horsie sliding down the back of George Washington’s head.

Okie… going for a little bike travel, see what I can see on the outside… be back later, dear journal.

Welcome to my wall scrawls.
