Stream of thought

Of the songs I’ve heard the grim reaper sing, I like this one the best –

I’m a kitty cat
I wear a bowl of peanuts
for a hat!
If I eat them all,
I will get fat
blah blah blah, I’m a kitty cat!

my alyssum has already started peeking little baby leaves on the east side of the house! got to love this Florida weather!

Newt and I just played a quick round of bearskin rug vs. tigerskin rug. Newt won, the slacker.

I would like a slice of ice cream cake, or perhaps an ice cream sandwich. something cool, creamy and with chocolate bits… or some pocky.

I don’t think I’ve ever met someone that actively dislikes the Beatles. The only people I can imagine doing so are surly teens trying to sound anti-establishment or something.

My current discovery on internet radio – Pirates Choice – Orchestra Baobab Pretty spiffy stuff…if you like African/Cuban hybrid music sung in French. The stuff you’d have playing in the background of a spy novel set in South Miami. I dig it ok. Most of the tracks are available on Kazaa, or have a listen on the Amazon link there if you have real player.

I forgot to mention, I got a drink of Gatorade at the shell station across from the ‘mat, and they were selling little Lego race cars there for $1. Pretty nifty little toy, and a nice trinket of happiness to share with my striped roommate.

Do I have to return to work tomorrow? Did I really have 4 days off? Apparently the answer to both is “Yes, Scotto.”

I think “Scooter-pie” would be a cute nickname for me. I’ve been called “Scooter” before. speaking of which… truth in advertising!.

Note to self, call Newt’s doc tomorrow, and give change of address & phone, as well as my own.

freaky forehead bone-looking sand dollar.it amazes me how many people thought that Newt and I have synched digestive cycles, and about the sand dollar thing.

there’s a chirpy bird outside that’s driving Newt to distraction.. he’s peering out the window as I type, trying to figure a way to get to it.

Random American history factoid – in 1585, the first English colonists arrived in Roanoke Island, Virginia. (Now North Carolina). by 1590, all of the settlers had disappeared. The word “CROATOAN” is found carved into a tree.

Talked with my sweetheart, and now we’re both off to do chores! Mmm.. she makes the day complete. πŸ™‚ Got to call the bro, and see if he needs any laundry done, while I’m at it.

until later, dear journal!

and scottobear has 138 readers (That’s about 1/5 of the menstrualhut, or twice the coloringbook)… though about 10% or so are phantoms… linked to me, and then left LiveJournal for parts unknown.

for humility’s sake…

has 41884 members. (I believe that’s the most populated community on LJ)

In other news, Newton’s cuteness ratings went down, as did the number of votes… do older votes die off after a while?

sleeping late with a cat was retired, with a rating of 156.

yum!

Einstein’s bagel assortment and veggie/ sun dried tomator-basil cream cheese. $10 for a dozen bagels, and 2 types of cream cheese. Bro took some as is his right, and he’s welcome.

Tut’s tomb and the pet psychic lady on unsolved mysteries… Tut’s curse seems to be explained by the englisment shaving, open wounds, and a bacterial infection. pretty neat. Pet psychic was interesting… they showed a more well-rounded view.. she *is* very attuned to her surroundings, including quite a lot about animal and human psychology / body language.

Newt sleeps atop the fridge at the moment.

Happy 226th birthday, USA! Happy Saint Elizabeth of Portugal Day!

I hope all of us in the States take at least a moment and enjoy themselves today for a bit.

Newtieboy woke me at 6:30 this morn… patty-pat on the nose, to get me to play. I indulged him, of course. He doesn’t like my “cat-fishing” toy, but will chase a strip of canvas that the futon packing contained… go figure. πŸ™‚ I’m happy that he’s still so playful, at nearly three years old… I wonder when he’ll mellow, if at all? He’s got a darker tiger-buddy outside that I’ve been giving some food to… dark brown stripes, and a poofier tail than Newts. It has a collar, but I’v enot gotten close enough to read it, or to see the outdoor-kitty is a he or a she.

soaking the moonflower seeds for 24 hours before planting them… they and the sweet alyssum will be in the soil tomorrow.

they arrested saddam’s stepson in south florida? at a flight school? is that true? egad!

grabbed for a visa violation, and deporting him? my news source on that is dubious…

the ER last night was interesting… two doors over were a pair of customs agents, and two local policemen… did they catch a mule? probably

reminds me of a song…

A stretch of interstate. You are between two cities. It is night, and quiet, and each rural exit proposes the idea of what’s beyond.

On a hot night in late August, less than an hour on the interstate south of Memphis, you take an undistinguished exit onto roads so undistinguished their names are not posted, and drive less than fifteen minutes from the truckers and the travelers, passing maybe a dozen domiciles, before you reach a sunken area off to the right and find yourself in Othar Turner’s backyard. A wooden barn defies gravity by remaining upright. A white horse swishes its tail. Othar‘s mule brays.

Of course, goat songs give way to one of the more refulgent cow songs.

I have the 4th and 5th off from work… I have to call Newtie’s doctor and let him know about our change of address.

Cut the heel and the top of my left foot during walkies… twisted my foot in a funny way… surface scrapes, but they’re going to be tricky heals. Gauze and tape it is, and maybe *gasp* shoes with socks?

Friday might be the day to swing by the bicycle shop.

Reading enthusiasts across the globe have taken to leaving books laying around in public with a web address inside. The idea is that whoever picks up the book may find it a good read, register the book’s current location on the website, then leave it out to begin the cycle anew. A pretty cool idea, if you ask me, and much in the flavor of tracking George Washington – and to think it was all made possible by helium balloon technology, although sadly the romance of the message in a balloon has cynically given way to email indistinguishable from spam.

doing the fuzzy-gut strut.

Newtcam is on, and pointing at his foodies today.

slept pretty well last… dreamt of my sweetheart and I together. soft rains, and Newtie-cuddles all night. I didn’t do walkies, I’m going to test the mettle of route 55 to get me where I’m going today. I did walk a bit last night… about 16 blocks to the 7-11… I picked up a jug o’ gatorade and evaluated the “emergency junk food” areas… no bad.. I can get good bread there, anyhow. I’ll investigate the region more during business hours… apperently, even in fort lauderdale, businesses roll up the carpets on sunday after 10pm.

DSL should be on tonight… at last, internet at decent speeds and a free phone line!

note to self, catch up with a few people on my reading list re: abuse, lj-abuse, ghosts, working at disney-florida and birthdays.

off to work… newtcam will be on.. keep an eye on my baby, dear journal!

hmm.. if I was on the floor, unable to move… newt would be a comfort, but not good at getting help.

I just did a drill… lay on the floor, moan, and say “ugh! Newt! I’m down! get help, boy!”

unlike lassie… He curled up at my ear and gave me kitty-kisses.

so much for teaching him how to hit 911 on the speed-dial.

well, at least I’ll have snuggles. πŸ™‚

the morning came with a soft rain this morning… waking up in the same bed in a new place.

Newt dealt well with the first night… alternating between laying with me and hopping around the room, settling atop the TV or the windowsills.

here’s the latest newtcam piccie – I may need to make some new icons… my peace and newt ina circle are from no-nose’s… the others are from the last place. I should update. πŸ™‚
