In answer to mskaren911‘s trivia challenge – from A Brief History of Wedding Traditions
Saving the Top Tier
The tradition is to save the top tier of your cake to eat on your first anniversary. This custom dates back to olden days in England when all wedding cakes were fruitcakes and the cake was saved for the christening of the couple’s first child. Clearly, a butter-based cake is not intended to last in a home freezer for a year. I don’t recommend it but if you’re determined to save your cake, here’s how to do it. Freeze the cake until solid, wrap in a couple layers of plastic wrap then a couple layers of heavy-duty foil. Put in the back of your freezer or a deep freeze and hope for no power failures. And don’t expect much on your first anniversary (at least when it comes to the year old cake).
I like the Bridesmaids legend, myself… Not only do they wear ugly (in comparison to the bride) outfits, but they’re demon bait!
Fruitcake for wedding cake? Bleh. I wonder how my sweetie feels about ice-cream cake? 🙂

Ok, I’ll get on the talking head bandwagon… *snort* What a great piece of software! Hooray for bud light’s programming team!
it’s good for 14 days.
Oh, my.. the things that amuse me… the doofy guy from the beginning of Zardoz.

Palm Shadow I know what hubbub I’ll be synching soon. Of course, the real treasure trove (and only an isilo conversion away is here. of course, since it’s text, anyone can read it, not just palmers)
Off to work now… No bike today… big rains. Have a good day, dear journal, and I’ll endeavor to do the same. Going to leave Newtcam aimed at the futon and east window.
October!
October!
Zoinks. Already!
Hmm… Apparently I missed some major drama at work yesterday. Lucky Me! I imagine I’ll hear about it today…and the Net’s still down. That’s pretty pesky, really. Livable, mind you, with dial-up speeds, transferring files is sloooow.
Newto’s Birthday is coming up this Saturday… I can’t believe he’s going to be three. He’s the best color for a Halloween kitty, short of black.
three handsome fellows
Dorkiest looking Dinosaur ever.
I think he’s cute. I can see him laughing, and blushing. That Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk, sort.
Shaved off all but the goat. It was fun playing Kevin smith for a while, though.
The face of Tutankhamen, the Egyptian king, has been reconstructed by special effects artists. A pretty good-looking guy. A little like RuPaul, I think.
Dang. Now that’s cool. Thanks, ldy!
Newt. You put down that hand-axe. You’re not going to Valhalla today.
ok… I’ve got a new A/C unit. Let’s hope that it has a repair duty cycle a little more reasonable than once a month. Spent some lovely time this afternoon with my sweetie, gabbin’ about vampires, alligators, the O’Hairs, school religion, murder…and more. I love that head she’s got on her shoulders… (and the rest of her is equally adored.)
Hmm.. internet at work is down, if I left at three (next available transport) I could be there at four thirty…, if I foobar, five. Is it worth the trip in? I’ll have to shave… right now my jaw whiskers are long enough to be considered a beard, though my goatee is much more full.
I’ll call and see if they need me at all. I dropped
While I wait for a callback, I’m going to relax.
p.s. you can download audio books with peer-to-peer sharing too… it’s not just first run movies and music! I’m grabbing the audio to Ann Rice’s Memnoch, the Devil and a few others.
Today’s National Forgiveness Day.
Nice.
Landlord didn’t call me… I rang him up at 9:20. He said that he was ten minutes away, and he was good as his word there. He picked up the unit, and took it with him just now. I showed him the best buy flyer, and informed him that 3 repairs in as many months is unacceptable, and that it was time for a new unit. He said that the current one is under warranty… I don’t know how, the thing is as old as the hills.
I’m going to have to demand a new unit if they say it’s going to take more than a couple of hours to repair.. I don’t need to miss any more work or have any more sleepless nights as a result of this.
Time for a quick shower to take some of the yuck off, now that he’s gone.
A promo still (pre-production) of me and my sweetheart in the web cam remake of “Night of the Living Dead…”
Random Scotto factoid –
I’ve hung out with a professionally tossed dwarf. He was a nice guy, too, named Jeff… We took Psychology together in ’92, and were part of a group project on biofeedback. He had nothing against the practice when I knew him (I imagine he still doesn’t) and made a decent living (as well as free drinks at the rathskeller) while in school.
Only two states in the union have dwarf-tossing bans, now, Florida and New York.
It’s about 5 degrees F warmer than it is outside.. it’s raining, and a good time to have windows open.

Thanks to Ariel for the head’s up!
Even if you had the old version, download the new ad-aware. The update caught 14 new components on my system, even though I just formatted it about a month ago.
Brilliant Digital is a “sleeper” program that “detonates” weeks after being installed. And uninstalling KaZaa doesn’t uninstall Brilliant Digital’s programs. E-vile.
