Sunday… lovely, and I still have another day off!

Leave a comment

Didn’t make it to Norton today, mind/body fried from the last week’s exhausting schedule. Skipped everway too. I did, however get the first supers game with the Hunters in, and that was quite fun. 1930’s setting, Characters are – Hawkman clone, Prof Tick-Tock (makes clockwork doodads for assorted needs), Lucky Lil (occultist/probability manipulation), H. Wu (magic Sword, chi blast anti-tong), Noodles the Clown (cursed comedian with magic pants. Really.), and Piston (Cyborg [1930’s style- think robocop powered by pneumatics]). seems to be an occult theme running through it, at least this session.

Went to see (you guessed it!) Godzilla 2k with my little brother this evening, (Now that I’ve seen it more than 3 times, I can see where I would’ve edited it more, especially at the beginning, for tighter time.) after that, we went out to dinner at big pink, the tasty food source right next door. Yummy Hummus opener, and veggie-burger meal. Bro ate a carno-burger, and we gabbed for a while.

walked along los Olas, talked about stuff, and we looked at the boats and mocked the goofy rich people & drank orange slurpees. His apartment is small, and nicely Spartan, but no worse than my own shoebox. 🙂

Newton has been quite a good little guy these last couple of weeks, I think he’s preferring the bachelor life. (Nobody else in the apt to take my attention from him, I think)

Got back form the everway game… and watching fight club.

Never did get around to lunch, but had supper, 1/2 of a mushroom & black olive pizza.

I need to start packing healthy food to eat.

I think I’m going to the Zoo tomorrow, and say hi to all the animals in jail. It’s been a loooong time since I’ve been to the zoo, but I was talking about one of my first zoo memories with a buddy, and I got a weird urge to go and see the lions. See if it brings anything odd out… I don’t think it will. I’ve got to ask Robby if he’d rather do Zoo than art museum…maybe art museum next weekend? I seem to have a stronger and more overpowering urge to go to the zoo.

this is where I’m headed – http://www.palmbeachzoo.org/ sooner or later.

Robb, maybe the little freaky monkey is a tamarin? http://www.palmbeachzoo.org/tamarin.htm

it’s freaky looking!

Well, April is gone.

Well, April is gone. 5 hours toward Utah at this writing. A good thing for her I think, and for me too. I’m feeling some separation anxiety, which surprises me, I guess any change in habit is disconcerting. I hope I can maintain communication with her, but I’m guessing that she won’t make the effort. We’ll see, maybe she’ll write or call. I’ll keep my ‘3 shots then skip’ rule.

Having privacy again is weird. I keep expecting someone to come home, or be late or something. But I’m alone with Newt now. Oh! That Reminds me, I need to set up the Newtcam again, now that I’m not stepping on anyone’s private toes.

Where has mootpoint gone off too? I miss him. A good guy.

Suzy goes on her cruise starting next weekend. Hm. Just as well, I’d probably rebound at her with great velocity if she was around. I don’t want that.

Danny is back at School teaching again… he’s going to be quite busy.

Little Brother and I will get together, and I look forward to seeing Robby, and Dave, and Cathi, too.

Nuts. Gone too long w/out an update…

I don’t remember what I’ve been eating.

The Sleep study tonight was a bust, going again next Sunday night.

bah. I’m so irritated about that, I’m not even going to go into it. suffice to say, insurance companies, HMO, incompetents and boobs all need to stay out of my way in the next week.

April’s leaving at 3:30 PM today. Mixed feelings, but mostly happy about it. Not going to work, going to see her off at the station.

Considering heavily getting another cat. ‘Franklin’ a brown kitty, for Newton.

too many journal entries to read tonight, and I’m not in a mood to contribute positively, so I’ll leave ’em alone.

let’s see. *good things* that happened this weekend.

Saw the Cell with Robb. Spiffy visuals. Saw Godzilla with April. Whee giant rubber monster. I loved it… 17th of 23 Godzilla movies I’ve seen. (24 if you count the American broderick atrocity) Met a new gaming group that will have the hunters in it, and no evil f’ing shadowfist games to eliminate Rp. Josh seems nice, if enthusiastic. Got a bunch of video tapes for cheep at the store, Wizards, Silent Running, a boy and his dog, they live, and alien nation for $20 total. groovy.

Everway went pretty well, met Neil, a pretty nice guy, someone who still acts as a Smith as a career.

Foodstuff yesterday, very little. 3 slices of mushroom & olive pizza, 3 glasses of Iced tea, and some water. two little squares of swiss cheese.

Either going out with little bro today, or hitting the graves museum with the everway gang.

Grrr. Hungry. Pepper ann cartoon is about thanksgiving…

Wow, friendlies are out today! Welcome abouard Kacia, and Ally! 🙂 I also added darktrain to my own list.. comical cat, he.

eating veggie-dogs, chatting with Zoe, and watching h2g2 on my old VCR.

food today:

3 veggie dogs
4 slices of black olive & mushroom pizza.

Items of interest to me.

Caught April in 2 lies between the hours of 10pm and 12 PM tonight. 1 regarding how much she drank, another of her not eating my food. I didn’t even challenge, because she is out of here in 3 weeks and counting. I don’t care if she lies to me anymore, but she’d better not steal.

Newtie is grooming me, licking the back of my head! Good, lovey kitty.

Met my new everway group. Some nice folks, 3 slob-tech gamers, and one wife-gamer.

Jeffery – met over the net, he found me in a gamer’s directory. Nice guy, as old as I am, married to Bee (Bridgett? Beatrice?) Used to service the machines where I work, and is GM. Kind enough to pick me up and take me home from the game. Seems to dash of on tangents, I imagine staying on topic during the game will be a challenge, but not impossible, fortunately that doesn’t bug me much. 31

Bee – South African, very pleasant, entertaining & gracious. She seems to enjoy my quirks (all of them came up tonight, it seems, from vegetarianism, carelessness, to waving at graveyards.) was amused by some of my stories, and her Afrikaans is close enough to German that we could make silly comments. Met husband over IRC, net wedding. 🙂 23

Joe – Seemed nice, didn’t get a strong vibe, still new to rpg, looks to be suffering a bit from tech burnout. has a palm IIIE 24

Chris?(not sure of name) The only skinny one of us, witty, and quick to adapt to most social behaviors. He’s the gamer who quotes python, makes squirrel and slug comments, and is a primary distraction during the game. I’m sure I’ll get on well with him. 22

Aleria (Bee’s visiting sister from Italy) Cute young lady, fond of train spotting and ewen macgregor, Speaks buckets of languages, and is quite polite and conversant, even though her English is a bit broken. 17

I think I came off as ‘mentor-man’ or maybe ‘overbearing man’ depending on the person. I maintained politeness and helped out where possible, tried not to step on conversations, but may have. It’s funny, I’m confident the girls like me, and Chris, but am not terribly sure of Joe and Jeffery. (they probably did too, just didn’t get a strong congenial vibe)

Many good characters.

Went to see Xmen, and it was pretty cool!

Leave a comment

especially for a geek like me… I saw cameos by Jubilee, Shadowcat, Iceman, beast, pyro, and stan lee, not to mention some others. I hope they make a sequel with more & different guys. after the movie I hung out with my pal Robb, and we talked for a few hours at starbucks. got a lot of opinions stated, and talked for a long while about relationships, common friends and just stuff in general. I swear, if he was a girl or I was gay I’d date him in a second. (Well, maybe two. He’s picky. 🙂 ) Anyhow, we discussed our mutual pals getting pregnant, moving and it turns out that he’ll be moving at the end of august too! egads! There goes the whole SPLN gang. no more Alex, Brian, Heather or Robby?!? it would appear that of EMAGE, the oonly remainders will be me and the Hunters… I have to remember to thank Alex H for the CD, it rocks!! a little p-funk makes me a happy boy. (among other things.) I’m amazed that newton can Lie comfortably on my screen…. heat-sucker! pesky swish-tail interferes with my surfin! My Bro is back in town, and he’s mighty flu-y, so we’ll be going out later in the week, but at least I can call him locally on the phone now! Hoody-hoo!

Why is it that so many people think that lies or half-truth is a good alternative to just being cool and being straight with folks? A friend of mine is pregant, and doesn’t want her ex husband to know about it, fearing he’ll feel bad. I don’t know, but I think that once he hears about baby showers, and everything, it’s going to be hard to hide she’s having a kid. I’m from the “just pull the band-aid off, and be done” school. What’s worse is that I feel obliged to help by not bringing it up at all… oh well. no biggie, really.

Well! good news! Looks like April has an interview tomorrow with barnies for a Job! hoody-hoo… hopefully this will raise her from the funk she’s been in the last week or so. I’ve been having trouble connecting with other pals, especially the EMAGE crowd, it’s been easier to keep track of the hippies and the Dan/Rob squad. I’m really mostly worried about losing contact with Brian/Heather… It’s extra bonus difficult, somehow. (I’ve totally lost touch with Ray. Where has he gone off to?) Alex has rendered himself invisible to AIM, so who knows when I’ll get to communicate w/ him. (I’ve actually had more convo’s with Mike!) Easiest to gab with seems to be Robby, of all things… He’s a cool guy, just surprising, as Heather is the “Chatty-cathy” of our clench there. Hmm… I suppose I should pop up an introduction to who I am, as well as all these other folks.
