8320 – Newton Monday Icon withheld this time.
Dr Who Ep 2 was much better than the first of the season.
Elements of Bad Wolf and Torchwood, much better ambiance, and clever writing. (Funky fighting monks, and a werewolf stalking Queen Victoria doesn’t hurt either.) Potential Steampunk world at war.
Sarah Jane and K9 next week!
Monday Meeting today. New Trainers from Alabama. I hope the accents aren’t too hard for me to follow.
Why do steam irons have a “permanent press” setting?
Nifty random factoid – Botswana is the only country in the world (that I know of, anyhow) currently with a color in its flag meant to represent rain (a sort of blue-gray). (Others that existed in the past – Lesotho ’66-’87, but I’d never heard of that place before doing research.)
Giant open directory of music – slow to download, but well populated.
“On behalf of the New York Police Department, I’m pleased to bring you the head of Dionysus.“ Continue reading 8320 – Newton Monday Icon withheld this time.

Pictures from Yesterday –
Autostitched pre-sunrise… spiffy orange clouds
Newt hanging out on the porch with me while we wait for a house cleaning.
Moment of lyric – youtube video
8313 – Friday. Finally.
Wow, do I hate to iron, especially first thing in the morning. Makes me a big ol’ grumpy scottosaurus. I think I’m going to ask Fatima how much she’d charge to do a few shirts and pants. I’m just not so great at taking care of those.
Swung by a pawnshop on the way home, just to eyeball what people were selling… picked up 3 dvds for $15. Buckaroo Bonsai (Special Edition), A Monty Python TV series Dvd (contains the Deja vu, silly walks and spanish inqusition episodes), and True Romance.
Crashed right out when I got home. Played a bit with the Newtster, ate a sammich, fell asleep. Not bad, but I’d have liked to do more. Read, play SL, or the like.
Seriously considering getting a short haircut for summer. I need to look up the “donate hair to kids” places.
8305 – Which brings us back to d’oh!
New Dr. Who was ok.. I liked the semi-zombie goodness despite the weak ending, but I look more forward to next week’s episode… Werewolves and Queen Victoria!
Secret Wars Re-Enactment Society – Well, it makes as much sense as those Civil War guys.
Aw, phooey… Monday again, eh? Weekend evaporated like fog on a hot day. Had lunch with the Mom and her gang at Sweet Tomatoes, and came home to an overlong nap… Sunday was completely wiped off the map as a result. Danny tried to call me from the Atlanta arport, but both phones he was using were wrecked, microphone-wise. Good to know he made it in ok, however.
I’m not a big fan of recent SNL, but the video bits, and smigel’s tv funhouse animation segments still can shock and awe a bit. Last weekend’s “Disney Vault” bit was pretty awesomely horrid.

8299 – It’s good Friday!
Spent some time with Tina and her crew over at Murphy’s. She was showing off her new car, and is probably going to quit Murph’s and just stay with her day gig, now that the car’s bought.
Getting together with Danny after work… still don’t know what we’re doing. I’m fairly surprised he’s not going to some sort of services.
Here are some friends who invite you into their [web] homes to enjoy records with them. Let’s go for a visit! These recordings are typically old rarities that have not been reissued on CD format.

I’m starting to agree about the Free music overload!

8295 – And we’re back. Again. Monday. Yes.
GP and Kat are in Florida for the next week or so, arrived Saturday sometime. May get together with ’em either tonight or tomorrow, if the stars are right. (They have a very demanding schedule when in town, and understandably so… both sets of parents live down here, and they want ’em as much as they can get ’em.), got to talk to GP yesterday on the phone for a while, and it was a fine time – mentions were made of the insanity of genius, and how people can breed for a longer period now, and family politics. (The youngest child will be the baby, even if they have children of their own. Interesting that both GP and Kat are both last-borns to older parents. My Folks had me when my dad was 23, and Mom was 21.)
(Though it seems other vacationers are Killer bees)
Wonderful rain today… classic Florida big drops in wind that causes it to fall at about a 45 degree angle. I’m glad my porch has enough of a roof overhang to stop things from getting soaked… nice to sit out there, soak up the ozone smell from the thunderstorm, and just soak up the sights and sounds around me. Not a bad time to do laundry… made everything smell sort of rainy-fresh that was hung up out back, though it took forever to dry.
Finally finished re-downloading Dr. Who 2005 season and the Christmas special; Burned the dvd. Hopefully, I’ll remember to hand them off to GP and Kat. (and another set to Danny when I see him next week). They look even better in High Def.
Next series, HBO’s Rome. I need to get that to a few people on my reading list.
More free fonts to fill up your computer with!
I’m kind of partial to ogrejuice and Deanna.
Perversely fascinating. Bad Talk radio.. mostly folks trying to update from the road. Some folks a little drunk… it’s fun to her folks monologue in varying degrees of skill. Surprisingly, nobody singing. odd – some seem to be from quite a while ago… I guess it’s based on when the journal was scraped. random dates from a week ago to two months ago. Spiffy to see user names in my mp3 player… gives me misc journals to eyeball if they seem interesting. via brad’s journal

Enjoy, while it lasts. Brad may take it down if it takes up too much bandwidth.
This is not an official LiveJournal feature (yet?). This is all done on my brad’s server, using public data,
as anybody else could.
Well, I’m running late.. suffice to say it’s a nice 60’s-ish electro-organ/harmony groovy/haunting sort of song. It’s a good walkabout tune, especially when on one’s own.
from an old Marvel Super heroes activity book – I colored it a bit, but just to clean up a photograph used as a scan. That’s the original quote, looking weird in a square voice “balloon”.
8294 –
Changed the layout and color scheme of my journal a little bit while Fatima cleaned house for me. Looks like Rosemary’s branching out, and Fatima will be the new cleaner-upper.
Shot for some earth tones and greens, but I don’ t know if I’ll stick with ’em yet.
Looks like some serious rain today… minimal walkies, then.

8285 – Hey! I’m wearing purple!
Dan mentioned that maybe Friday the 14th will be a good day to hang out after I get off of work (he’s a teacher and will be enjoying spring break) … we haven’t done anything since January, so there’s a lot of lost time to cover.
Axis and Allies is certainly on the list. Maybe go out and get an ethical massage, too.
Bug inspectors coming by the apartment today, and then a trip to the doc. Didn’t get to sleep in, because my on-call tech had to wake me for verification of a launch in California at 6:30am (2:30 their time)
Ah well, I’ll be able to take a midday nap as a treat, anyhow.
Had the blues a bit yesterday, but they’ve pretty much faded out for now. Probably a spring thing. I’m still a bit miffed about the unsolved mystery, but I’m just chalking it up to laziness for now.
Moment of Lyric: MP3 (many thanks again, Firpo!) [Hear more of them here]
There’s something Graypumpkin won’t hear on Bob!
Start wearing purple wearing purple
start wearing purple, for me now
all your sanity and wits, they will all vanish
I promise, it’s just a matter of time…
I know you since you were a twenty and i was twenty,
but thought that some years from now
a purple little little lady will be perfect
for dirty old and useless clown…
I know it all from Diogenes to Foucault
from Lozgechkin to Paspartu
I ja kljanus obostzav dva paltza
schto muzika poshla ot Zvukov Mu!…
Party!
So Fio-Fio-Fioletta! Etta! Va-va-va-vaja dama ti moja!
Eh podayte nam karetu, votetu, i mi poedem k ebenjam!
So yeah, start wearing purple wearing purple!
Start wearing purple for me now!
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish,
I promise, it’s just a matter of time!…
Translation of the Russian portion: (via)
And I swear, having pissed on two fingers,
That the music originated in Sounds of MooSo Violetta! My lady!
Hey, get ready a coach, this one,

It occurred to me this weekend that the term prophet sounds holy to me, but the term prophecy comes across as sinister, or fake.
Moment of lyric – mp3 (thank you, Firpo!)
{lyrics in braces need confirmation, due to the earliness of the hour and my poor sense of hearing}
Listen to me you explorers, Buck and Admiral Byrd,
Here’s a funny one you’ve never heard
there’s a fellow in the jungle
one you never knew
you won’t get him, but he might get you
Who’s the talk at every table from Chicago to Madrid?
Who’s the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!
All the tribes eat fruits and berries
He’s the one that never did
He Prefers his missionaries
Jojo, the cannibal kid
He could aways pass on his manner and his savoir faire
Mix with every class – eat the finest people everywhere!
Circus sends him offers daily
{Bertram mills made him a bid}
but he’s holding out for Barnum Bailey,
Jojo the cannibal kid
Mmmmyeow…
Don’t you know? He eats them alive…
{gets the ??????}
eating out, from nine to five.
boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
That is the Jojo way
boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
that means he’s on the {train}
{Everybody run and get in the car, pull all the windows down
everybody find a safe place to closet}
Jojo is now in town
Who’s the talk at every table from chicago to madrid?
Who’s the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!
All the tribes eat fruits and berries
He’s the one that never did
He Prefers his missionaries
Jojo, the cannibal kid
He could aways pass on his manner and his savoir faire
Mix with every class – eat the finest people everywhere!
Circus sends him offers daily
{Bertram mills made him a bid}
but he’s holding out for Barnum Bailey,
Jojo the cannibal kid!

Well, I went and got a Nikon coolpix l2 (the 6 megapixel version)at office depot on sale.. got a 1 gig memory card to go with it. I’m no pro, so this should hold me for quite some time.
Sometime this weekend, I’m going to hit the tree zoo, or do some camera-safari-type action. not sure if I’ll do it today or tomorrow, depending on which way the wind blows.
Camera also has a video making capability, see Newt Chase a paper wad here. (Kindly ignore the pile of socks visible at the end… I was preparing laundry piles when I got distracted and decided to play with Newt instead.
Please, no overly mean or dangerous April fool’s jokes on or around me today. thanks. Instead, of me pranking other folks, have the Origin of April Fool’s Day, via how stuff works, and wikipedia has a nice entry as well. Some Hoaxes taking place this year.
Coding4fun! – Randomly Opening CD Tray would drive me nuts.
My Scotto utility belt now contains a pda, a gps, a beeper, a cell phone, and a digital camera. Every one of them has a built in way to check what time it is. Why on earth would I want to wear a watch?
Moment of Lyric (mp3)
8257 – I’d like to stay in bed with the cat, please.
I like hanging out with pirates that enjoy Pink Floyd and smart, pretty girls that wear dragonfly wings. So, why am I bored with the ren-fest?
Chacarron is still stuck in my head, despite my best efforts to purge it with: One Nigh tin Bangkok, The Love Boat Theme, and Old McDonald Had a farm (with butterflies, paramecium and giraffes)
ualuealuealeuale ualuelaelaellalea, alsualsualualauusualulus… alsualsualualauusualulus Chacarron.
The Scientologists have found me out…
I am in league with Xenu, in exchange for his dark powers, and cool space lear jet. Also, I like to make underlings dump water on their heads.
Condo Commando meeting last night gave me brain drain, but the day at work went well. Busy, but positive. CCM was a lot of old people talking loudly and not listening to each other. Got Kudos at work, as did ECN for fine performance on call, and handling weird situations.
160 gig drive finally showed up, so the big brain drama is officially over. Started Nov. 10, 2005 – Ended March 20, 2006. Rest in peace.
For what it’s worth, here are the names of the devices on my network:

Circle – (Lappie)
Sphere – (Frankenbox / Newtcam server)
Buckyball – Newest device.
Moment of Lyric (mp3)
I keep on fear, keep on loathing
Nothing brings it on I keep on falling
Decide what it is I can not find
It’s subsides what you make it
Never feel like you’re gonna break it
It’s gonna be all right all right
Sleep until the morning comes
The sun will warm your soul
Sleep until the morning comes for you
‘Til the morning it’s all right
I can walk into the sunlight, into the day, into the day, to the day
I feel it falling, nothing comes to my mind
Bring it on in a different tide
I feel all right, all right
I feel strong, I feel rigid
It’s nothing to do with the vision
Oh feels so right, so right
Sleep on tight, sleep on tight
Sleep until the sunlight
Sleep until sunlight
Sleep on tight
Sleep on tight
Sleep on tight
Sleep on tight, ’til the sunlight
Sleep on tight, ’til the sunlight burns you happy
‘Til the sunlight burns you happy, till the sunlight burns a happy hole in
Your heart,
In your heart
In your heart…
Ralph McQuarrie Concept Paintings for Star Wars (he’s got a lot of nifty flickr sets to eyeball )
Don’t you walk through my words you got to show some respect
Don’t you walk through my words ’cause you ain’t heard me out yet
