Journalling…Such a busy workday today… got to talk briefly with my darling, too briefly, but I’ll take what I can get. 🙂 I foolishly left Cold Mountain at work, so I can’t read that before bed… I didn’t get to read any at work, either… just a wee bit beforehand.
Bored? Have Realplayer? Click here…
Thanks to deoxy.
Just kissed Ornj gnite, and I’m turning in….
I love that girl.
Talked with Ornj for hours and hours… saw castaway, reinstalled napster. Got a bunch of goodies for valentine’s a-go-go, and some extra special trinkets for Ornj, too… I’m so hyped for VAGG… sign up if you can read LJ! I can’t, but I understand that’ll change Monday…
Hitting the sack, so I can get up for my date tomorrow! (10am!)
a little mother goose for you…
I love little pussy
——————————————————————————–
I love little pussy,
Her coat is so warm,
And if I don’t hurt her,
She’ll do me no harm.
So I’ll not pull her tail,
Nor drive her away,
But pussy and I,
Very gently will play.
and another…
Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl;
If the bowl had been stronger,
My song would have been longer.
Hush-a-bye, baby,
in the tree top.
When the wind blows,
the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
cradle and all.
Hush-a-bye, baby,
Your cradle is green,
Daddy’s a king,
And Mommy’s a queen;
Sister’s a lady
Who wears a gold ring;
Brother’s a drummer
Who plays for the king.
Hush-a-bye, baby,
Way up on high,
Never mind, baby,
Mommy is nigh,
Swinging the baby
All around —
Hush-a-bye, baby,
Up hill and down.
Good night… *snuggles in, and puts out all but the froggy light*
Did some chores, but sadly didn’t connect with the little brother… he’s working tonight. So, I swung by the bookstore after dropping my laundry in the washers at the local ‘mat. They weren’t sure about what version of Heidiggers book they would order… they didn’t know which translation it was… (so I’m swinging by the big honking borders tomorrow or during the week), but I picked up Cold Mountain and began reading…. so far, so *great*. I’m about 50 pages in, but I’m cutting myself off at certain chapters, wanting to savor the book… consume it slowly over the coming week. (I honestly don’t think that’s going to happen… it’s really good. I see it swiping some of my snooze time before bed tonight….) The characters Inman and Ada both seem very interesting, and the writing is very evocative. So far there’s quite a lot of detail, but not so much that it clutters the events or characterization. Instantly engaging. I was warned it’d keep me up all night, and it may…
On other fronts, Newt seems happy that winter is over, and liked the little tiny space heater… it’s neat, it doesn’t get hot to the touch, but acts as sort of a blow-dryer… Newt likes to park about 3 feet in front of it, and poof out, and bask. 🙂
Hmm.. now that I have to make my own dinner (instead of going out)… what to have? I have 3 bananas, peanut butter, some bagels… I want to go easy on the carbs… maybe I’ll just smear the peanut butter on the bananas directly? I need a better (non-starchy) delivery system. cut the bananas into disks, and make little tiny nanner sammiches?
Movies to see with the brother – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon… or maybe that movie I’ve been getting all sorts of good reviews on… O Brother, Where Art thou…
Have two books to pick up this weekend, too. Heidegger’s Being and Time (Joan Stambaugh translation ) for the reading group, and Cold Mountain for personal funzies and discussion. Going to have to pick them up either today or tomorrow, just to dig in!
Norb & Dag get super-invisible X-ray spex! 🙂 Can sea monkeys be far behind? Eh, what say you, sea-monkey queen? Not sure why they call the beavs angry, upon reflection… for the majority of the time, they’re pretty happy, goofy guys.
Holy cow! Muscular Beaver Just summoned Cthulhu!!
Oh, my… forgot to post this earlier… got caught up with Ornj, and she fascinates me so…
Proclaiming from the rooftops..
I LOVE HER!
ok, you may all go back about your business.

Watching Cartoons this morning… 🙂 Who knew king Neptune was such a meanie, and good ol’ Patrick the starfish is such a kindly soul, too… and being a bit dim is part of his charm… like stimpy.
sweetalyssm‘s been on a real art kick lately… take a peek over there at some of her most recent stuff… I’m envious of her skill… my artistic bent has never really been good at the visual.
only a few minutes to beavers… my weekend date with Ornj. 🙂 
Pix quit today, and it looks as if the whole laser dept will be shut down.
I was in an extended meeting… we outlined the dissolution of various elements, and the effects of doing so.
the company’s future looks bleak… I think some bad decisions were made, and will be made in short order.
On a lighter note, spent more time with Ornj online today, and it just made my heart soar. Enjoyed many a spot of conversation and surfing… we bid good evening here and it’s a delightful last stop to talk of Victorian love before bed.
2 *new* episodes of Angry Beavers tomorrow at noon, on Nick!
Be there, or be square, baby!

Valentines A-go-go!!
I think it’s a spiffy idea, and I really enjoyed the Christmas cards I got this year… 🙂 Plus, it’d be nice passing around little nice notes of kindness hither & thither.
I’m in. 🙂

Oh, man. I am so tired of being phoneless at home. Apparently the repair guy came over, and the landlord told him to take off. Again. Son of a… well, anyhow. Long story short, I still have no phone, on day #3 of being stuck at home, unable to hit the net, tuck in my girl, play age of kings, check my voicemail…
Fortunately, I was able to gab with Ornj today at work… I miss her so much tonight though.
Called for repair to come by tomorrow morning, between 8am and noon. So I’ll miss my walk, and may be a little late to work, but I’ll have the phone by the weekend, by gum.

Still having a devil of a time logging in… hopefully the phone will be fixed when I get home tonight. Pesky as all get out not having it yesterday, too. *summons the power of all the LJ powers that be to have the new server installed soon*
I’ve asked this before, but I’m eager to hear any answers…
If you could have one super-power, or paranormal ability what would it be?
Lately I’ve been thinking ‘instant transport anywhere on the globe’ is a good one. All my pals are so far, and I grow tired of waiting for the bus. Walking only takes me so far… I’d love to *pop* On the Beach! *pop* in Seattle! *pop* in Canada! *pop* in the midwest!
*pop* In Germany! Hmm.. and take up to ten people with me at a time. 🙂 *popopopopop* We’re all at Disney world. 🙂 Inside, so we don’t need to buy tickets. 🙂
Shapeshift would be fun, look like anything, from a bug to a dinosaur, to William Shatner, to a park bench…
Found the answer to yesterday’s mystery ‘dead chat’. someone set all of our proxies to die at 4:20. lame.
I know… How is he posting if he can’t log in?
LJ client is my saving grace… but I’m stuck in a monologue.
I prefer dialogue.
At least E-mail works, not that anyone will get to read this… 😛
Ah well. Back to work.
Pictures earlier are from the Watchmen comic. outstanding piece of voice-balloon literature.
I can’t log into LJ. Aim and ICQ are dead. Pesky. Is anyone having the same trouble with communications that I am? Dead phone, dead lj, dead chat proggies?
Hit enter… but will continue. 🙂
Anyhow, went to the Newsstand, and the lady there let me call for service.. I should have phone service by 11 am tomorrow morning, probably sooner. (I’m estimating that it’ll be fixed by the time I get home tonight.)
Woo.. hard to see how many entries have scrolled by in the hours I’ve been gone… like you all wrote stuff deliberately while I was gone! 🙂
Got to talk to Ornj today, and learned more about her… I adore talking to her… (the conversation turned to allergies, things done as kids, making love and so on… ) She is my desire, my heart, my joy. I’m so happy to be in love with her…
My 333 Holiday experience – (or why I love mall food, synchronicity and beer)
I was in a food court in the mall of the dead and while I was waiting for my food to be cooked I decided to get a beer. I walked over to the bar, had a quick look at what they had to offer, and decided on a Tiger. So I ask the guy for one, and instead he pulls out a bottle of beer labeled 333. “You want this instead” he told me. It wasn’t clear to me if he was asking a question or making a statement. As I paused for the moment he went on to explain they were on special. (Or did he actually mean to say they were special?) Deciding that even if this wasn’t a subtle message from the OU a 333 would probably do just as well, I went along with his suggestion. It turns out that 333 is a Vietnamese beer, and that it goes quite well with Asian noodles. Despite examining the bottle closely, I failed to detect the hidden message. (Unless the message was just ‘We know where you eat’)
from my archives on the palm –
“In addition,” Henry noted, “our University has a fine theozoology department. Few faculty anywhere can rival our professors when it comes to studying and classifying new sorts of God!”
“How many kinds of God are there?”
“One, so far,” Henry admitted, “but the Department has just recently constructed a ministerial accelerator that they believe will give rise to as many as seventeen forms of God heretofore unknown.”
