6833- Don't bother to burn an X in my head, I'm already dead.

Called in sick today- I’m totally wiped out.

If they need anything urgent, I can launch it remotely… the rest of my time is going to be spent in or around bed.

Some evil Aztec sorcerer is messing with my digestive tract, and is drying out my skin. Or maybe it’s a side effect of Disney World’s weather control device used to relocate Charley.

I wonder if it’s true that prehistoric burial involved putting a corpse in the ground so that it could be reborn, like a plant, or if it was just a method of cleanup… having bodies just laying around can’t be terribly sanitary.

6816 Morning, already?

Dang… Where do these Mondays keep coming from?Site Meter

I foresee more of the same sort of Monday shenanigans. Terribly long morning meeting, and then spend the rest of the day playing catch-up.

The opening crew is headed to Alabama for training next week, so it’ll be much lighter in that respect, next go-round.

Newt’s been in gabby-chatter mode quite a lot lately.I’m happy to give him all the attention he might like and probably more, though he like to be doted on for the most part.


It feels like my emotional gravity is out of whack. Parts of me are light, others dense, and drawn to the center of my being. Some sort of personal vibe version of solar flares.


Wikipedia article on War Elephants


30th anniversary of Nixon Resigning. I can think of a few presidents, both republican and democrat that probably should’ve stepped down in like fashion, since. People guilty of known criminal activity both prior and during office… and probably since then.


World Audit: ranks countries. Shows the U.S. as 9th in freedom, 12th in democracy. Interesting how Finland, the most democratic and thirdmost free on the page is also considered the most corrupt. How it’s measured.


Quick reference – Why do Muslim women cover their heads?

For Future Reference, Male Hijab info, too. Interesting that bit about yellow / orange clothing. No red, unless it’s combined with another color.


According to Newsday, live video from the Olympics will be viewable online. However, ‘the footage will be highly restricted to protect lucrative broadcast contracts, which are sold by territory – $793 million paid by NBC alone. Web sites must employ technology to block viewers from outside their home countries, so U.S. Web surfers won’t benefit from the BBC’s live coverage. They’ll have to settle for highlights posted after NBC broadcasts, which are already largely tape-delayed.’

6765 I'm hot-blooded, check it and see…

my body’s thermostat seems out of whack… my core temperature is overheating a lot when I’ve first awakened the last couple of mornings. It generally passes within the first half hour of being up.. but what is that, hot flashes?


cockeyed.com has been consistently entertaining to me for years now. I’ve always dug the “How Much is Inside” and other articles… (don’t even get me started on herbalife MLM scams…I yank those signs down every time I see one.), and is where I first discovered the 3-servings per container ramen factoid, to boot.

I just fired off a set of images to Rob over there, helping him to document locations of known spammers. The one I tracked down,

BVM
6278 N. Federal Hwy Suite 187
Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33308

was in actuality a Mailboxes, Etc., and not a real office.

I took pictures of the outside, the “suite” in question, which was really just a mailbox, and the ID stuff on the back of one of the MBE fliers. It was a lot of fun to go out on a little ninja mission like that, even if it turned out not to be an actual spammer’s place of business.

Note to self… next mission, rather than using the satellite map to draw up directions, actually gather intel on the area.


Upon my return from the trip, I stopped off at my nearby sub shop, and the guy had *ANOTHER* black eye. I wonder what he does to get ’em?

#6237 palm cartoon, haiku

From the palm, I chase after Sauron on my walker. (drawn in the waiting room at the doctor’s this morning)

Scotto walker.Eye of Sauron

Haiku to celebrate –

Movin’ Right along
Sauron’s Eye of Evil Laughs
He owes me five bucks.

During my nap earlier, I dreamt my sweetie was wearing an eye-patch and kissing me like crazy. Works for me! I didn’t find the eye-patch unusual at the time… I feel it was just costuming.

#6231 Hospital costs, brother resolution, lj scam.

Bro’s was fined $50 after pleading no contest… woke me up from my lovely nap, too. Still raining something fierce. I woke up with the phrase “bulletproof martyr” in my mind…not sure where I know the phrase. (or if it’s some last minute mental swirl). Danny’s got a really bad sinus infection… he’s on antibiotics, and suffering from a lot of yuck.


Got my bill back from the hospital. Itemized list

#6226 staple pic, cheshire cat

Talked to the brother, and it looks like he likes his new job well enough to stay with it, until he finds one he’s more interested in.

Back is mending reasonably well. (cut to spare those who don’t like staples or cuts or ick.) Portions have filled all the way to the top already. I figure the staples are totally ready to be removed. I’m a pretty fast healer.

Looks a bit like a zipper.

#6222

They brought a 3-step commode over today.. um.. I’m using the regular john, just fine, and you’re only a week late, guys. I accepted it, but am not sure about where I’ll put the thing.

Hair-nurse still hasn’t arrived, was supposed to come by this morning.

I swear, this insurance company will deliver a coffin a month after a scheduled burial… It’s all been too little, too late. Liberty Mutual, I weep for your clients. I cannot advise strongly enough about leaving that group, if they’re your provider.

I’ve been getting calls today from a “Sapphire Group” in Tampa that found my resume (from February-ish) and is wanting to interview me. Very interesting. I’ll talk with them on the phone more later, out of courtesy, but I suspect odds to be slim on my wanting to head up there right now. It’d take a really powerful offer to lure me from ACIM and Ft Laud… plus, I’m still in mending mode.

Time Tales –is a collection of found photographs. found at flea-markets, thrift-shops, some are scooped up from streets and alleyways, fallen from an overstuffed bag or torn pocket. others turn up in a cabinet’s hidden compartment, found while wandering the rooms of an abandoned house. now the photos exist by themselves, lost in time. time tales does not want to reveal their mysteries. time tales asks to be the new home for lost photos, a resting place, for the nameless and the lost.


Lombergar – Some very good, bizarre digital art.

#6219 borg parts, cat wrasslin’, Dan sick, still need a hair wash

Running my hand lightly over my bandage…I count the bumpy ridges of the staples there. Nine, equally spaced, they remind me of rings used to hold a shower curtain in place. I wonder what the clinking of them being removed would sound like in a glass ashtray…I envision the sound being similar to bullet being removed and placed in a metal tray like some sort of slow scene in the middle of an action hero’s film, being repaired in a grimy doctor’s office after crawling away from a gunfight… left for dead.

Maybe it’s more like a row of scuta… (singular scute)

The ozone in the air is making Newt bouncy and full of the wrestling-urge…his rear claws rake at my wrist while I rub his tummy. I go to take my hand away, and he grabs on with his front swabs and chomps down on my thumb using just enough pressure to keep it in place. I’m tempted to brush his teeth after wearing him out, but I think he’ll get the week off, until I can handle him more surely.

Dan has a bad case of the flu today. I hope he mends soon, and also hope that he didn’t leave flu-germs here. I really don’t want that on top of everything else.

Hair-wash nurse will return tomorrow morning.. she was ill-equipped to deal with me. If I could get in the shower, I wouldn’t need anyone to to help… the idea is that I can’t get the wound wet. She’s coming back with a basin, as I can’t bend under the sink.

Entry #6142, snail-men attack, visiting the doc

Entered from the dream notebook –

Unusual dreams last night of being hunted by men with snail-like eyestalks. I was cornered by one of the monsters wearing a dark blue suit and red tie, not unlike a TV personality or politician…. To fend him off I had to club one of the stalks into a wall, and then flat-palmed the eye at the end until it made a resounding squish that echoed though the dank stone hallway we were in. It had the sensation of a burst grape under my hand… no blood, but clear liquid. He collapsed to the ground silently, either unconscious or dead… so I grabbed the other stalk from his face and yelled into it like a microphone, demanding that they stop, or that I’d be forced to tell what I knew to the authorities. (I have no idea what I “knew” or why I thought the eyestalk was some sort of communications device to the other stalked-stalkers.) When I finished my little speech, I tugged the other stalk out of the beast’s socket, sort of like plucking a stray nose hair. I got the sensation that they had ceased pursuit, and could relax a bit, wondering idly if salt would dissolve them like other slugs.


Going to the Doc’s for follow-up today, and to see when I can schedule the surgery. Hopefully it will be soon. More to follow tonight.

New client / stalling writing / potty mouf doc / they only look like Cthulhu

Just got newest semagic client (1.3.3.2 )for lj… looks pretty solid, so far.

Outtakes of Tom Baker (probably the most famous Dr. Who) doing a voice spot for an item called Symphony. It’s amazing to me to hear the good doctor cuss like a sailor.

It’s hard to write my brother tonight. I can’t think of anything to say. I don’t want to just rehash the day, as little happened but that seems to be the way I’m going. I’m going to have to think of something to reminisce about.

Collectable Pogs. Those guys didn’t last long at all, did they? I’m happy to say I never bought any, but some showed up in cereal boxes and whatnot. I remember that those “pog tubes” were good for holding dice.

Mind Flayer (illithid) The were the first annoying psionic “teleporting telepathic mind-blasters” I’d ever encountered in gaming, but they’re dear to my heart because of the squiddy-faces and cerebrophagic (is that a word?) tendencies.

Look out! There goes one now!

RahhhhERR! Fear my monochrome coloring and simpsons-like art style!

Bigfoot / spine / work / chimp-child

I need surgery, 1 day in the hospital, 4 weeks PT and it should be all good. Following up at the regular doc, but as it stands, I need 2 ruptured disks, and 1 herniated disk taken care of. it’ll be much like the one I had about a decade ago, only nobody will bring me a Usagi Yojimbo action figure this time, I imagine. Rick (the one that looked like Willie from “v”) brought me one last time, and I really dug that bushido bunny.

Prop2 took her departure better than the gals at work did. I think this is a good thing… but I changed all the email/network/ remote access/ etc passwords today. I was trapped there until about 6:30 tonight… but I guess that makes up for me being late due to the doc’s. I’m officially the Director of Operations now. Prop was very understanding, and I imagine she saw it coming. she offered to help me wherever she could, and though I don’t imagine I’ll run into many bumps, it was very kind of her to offer, given the circumstances. I hope she finds a good gig, and swiftly.


Ben Stein *creamed* the debate on Tough Crowd tonight.. three stand up comics, Colin Quinn and probably one of the brightest political and legal minds in the entertainment industry. I really admire his power over words and ideas, even if I don’t agree with many of his beliefs. (I have Nixon and Kissenger issues.)
