done for The Batgirl Drawing meme!
Most of the others are actually good, mine was doodled on the palmtop with a fingertip.
A easy thumbnail way to view the batgirl lj meme is to look up batgirl tags on flickr.Not all piccies are hosted there, of course, but there are a few from stick figures to awesome.

“We’re Ants!” guy is trying to sleep in the back, but is scrunching up his eyes so much and sitting so stiffly that it seems more like he’s avoiding horror than getting any rest. He appears to be wrapping himself pretty tightly.
Woman eating an egg and bacon sandwich, the meat is rubbery, she pulls on it, stretching until it breaks, snapping into her mouth. I get a distinct hyena/carrion vibe.

Based on this found skull-bead thing I found on walkies yesterday –
It is haunted, the voice it puts in my head [sounds a bit like Jim Backus] makes me laugh at purple things and rewards me with small treats like found candy corn and one dollar bills. He’s very tiny, as you can tell by looking at the pattern on my pants as his background. I’d estimate one third of an inch tall. (maybe 8 mm?)
I wonder if anyone’s made a rosary comprised of skull-beads? Sounds terribly goth-y, but fun.
Feel free to ask the skull-head a question, and I will give his answers in the comments field below.
Moment of Lyric:
Avast! It be Talk like a pirate day! Well, shave me belly with a rusty razor! I tell ya true!
Ye scurvy swabs! Batten down your poop-decks!
Happy 77th B-day, Adam West!
My first direct impact with gas prices. I took a taxi just up the street to do laundry (my load being too large to frog-march), and to prices have gone up considerably since my last use… before, the haul was $2.50 for the entire trip, but with the new pricing, it cost $3.70. The new cost is $2.50 just to get into the vehicle, and the first 1/6 mile. $.40 each additional 1/6 mile after that.
Time for me to price out a new wheel-cart. Heaven help anyone that actually has to go a considerable distance, like the airport or the like.
I was reflecting on times that were less prosperous for me. When at my worst, I had no place to live, and couldn’t afford to eat my fill, even at taco bell. If it wasn’t for food stamps for that month, I probably would’ve had to steal to survive.
That brought to mind all of these false charities, designed to take money meant to feed children and line the pockets of someone taking advantage of the disaster and the kinder natures of the human heart.
If I ever meet someone driving a Cadillac fueled by children he killed, I will use my imagination to its fullest extent to make that person suffer like no other. I have a very good imagination. Those thoughts fanned my more angry side for a bit, making me brew methods of pain on all levels against another person, in all four rooms of his house ( A physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual.) That upset me a bit, because I like to consider myself a kind and merciful person.
I have no kind or merciful thoughts for someone who hurts children for personal gain. I don’t feel forgiveness in my heart for them… I just want to hurt them in every way possible, and to make an example for anyone else who might think to do such stuff.
Not a terribly Christian attitude, and that saddens me on another level. My anger outweighs my sadness, however.
My teeth feel sharp against my tongue. The funny thing is that I feel pretty good in most other respects. more friendly-folk recently, a bit of an ease in workplace issues (just a bit).
Just found some folks speaking about me in a kind way during a random google update… how nice!
had a good time at qdot’s with uber and the gang, but I logged out a bit early, to prep for mondays’ hubbub.. prep the office for possible storm issues.
“Fiat Lux” is a 3-D movie by Paul Debevec, who pioneered HDRI and image-based lighting and rendering for realistic and stunning 3-D imagery.
So long, August! Hopefully September promises good things in the coming weeks ahead.
I was given revised paid links last night… maybe the mystery of the phantom July payment will be solved.
I know for sure which entry of mine has the longest ongoing comment conversation at least across time, if not in sheer numbers. An entry posted back in July of 2002 about Roanoke and the Lumbee Indians (Long before those two wiki articles) still has people dropping in now and again, more than three years later, including a couple die-hard regulars. I come up as entry #30 on a google search regarding the tribe, and I’m not sure that any of the sites before mine have an area to post personal commentary. The biggest discussion seems to be whether or not there is African American blood in the tribe as a result of escaped slaves assimilated into the group. There doesn’t seem to be a clear answer, and neither side of the discussion seems to be showing signs of backing down.
That said, there are only 50 comments in that entry as of this writing… I have two or three entries that have sparked off into long comment trails of 500+, but those discussions peter out about a week or two after being posted. That’s a case of seven people just talking back and forth… it turned into sort of a chat room, rather than a discussion forum near the end.

Went out and about with Danny yesterday. We didn’t do movies, instead, we hit tarpon bend – I had some conch, he had clams. Ashley, our waitress was nice, the food was average fare.
Afterwards, we went to both Barnes & Noble and Archives for Book-snooping. I didn’t buy any, but was tempted by a few things. Danny got a study guide for Earth Science and Astronomy, to help with certification and teaching those courses next year. We looked for Pratchett’s “The Last Hero”, but it wasn’t in stock.
Dan left about 5ish, and I sat back home… noticed my TV cable is out. I called Comcast, but all I got was a recording, and notification that a human would get back to me on Tuesday. Hopefully, it’ll return before that, but now that it’s morning, and still nothing, I suspect not. I hoofed it down the road to catch the first moonlight movie… I’d forgotten how good Forrest Gump is. Before the main feature, they showed a Laurel and Hardy movie – flying deuces., but stopped it about 20 minutes in, when they realized it wasn’t a short, but over an hour long. The other flub was that at 11pm sharp, the sprinklers turned on. I’m quite thankful that I parked off the grass and sat on a sidewalk bench facing the movie. Side note, there’s something meta about watching Forrest wait for a bus on screen while sitting in a park bench off-screen.
Pictures and doodles from yesterday.:
Just setting up the screen. new setup this year.. it’s on an inflatable frame. Pretty nifty, and sets up *fast*
My original spot… I opted for a side seat, because I didn’t want to see a lot of heads in the way of the screen when folks got up for breaks.
Movie start… still twilight.
Pov with night lights. the parking garage was rather bright, but not a distraction.
Sitting in the dark.
Drawn during the “coconut shrimp, pan fried shrimp, etc” scene.
I saw a bicycle rickshaw roll by and I got to thinking tarot-y chariot thoughts – Wheel of Fortune, hanged man, and tower are on top. Interesting that my memory reversed both hanged man and tower details. I’m surprised that I didn’t draw the lovers and the devil, come to think of it.
Walk home – buk 50, d0se and deph were at Riverwalk sometime earlier, it seems.
In the sidewalk lights near Ikon, a pair of desiccated lizard husks rest in peace. Who knows how they got inside, but they were trapped.. never to leave.
Enough procrastinating, I need to sit down and do my writing assignment that was due 2 days ago. Naughty Scotto.

“So, after Joss Whedon is fired from the Wonder Woman movie because Serenity bombed, who do you think they’ll get to direct it?”
The rain did, and does. 
drip, drip, drip.

Hmm… Dave’s been off in the distance quite a bit in recent months. Life as a father of 2, I guess!
“TV-B-Gone [is] a new universal remote that turns off almost any television. The device, which looks like an automobile remote, has just one button. When activated, it spends over a minute flashing out 209 different codes to turn off televisions, the most popular brands first.”
The flash multi-user magnetic refrigerator letters app is fascinating. I’ve noticed that I can set off a wave of behaviors, just by grouping certain letters or colors together. people will flock to assist in the grouping, as well as “spoilers” who try to mess up patterns. (not to mention the dueling curse words, name spellers, at times, too.) it can be fun just to watch the flock behavior and not even fool with it. An oracle might even see words of the future unfold, if there was a lot of “LOL” and “FAP” in it. and who could ask for more than that?
Saw Episode 3 of Lost… (The boar hunt… or the first one after the pilot.) It looks pretty dang good so far. I’m looking forward to tonights episode, and seeing the downloaded pilot and episode four, as well.
Keeping a positive mindset, and hoping for more good news to roll my way. Keeping my spirits high and optimism up. I’ve noticed a drop in my appetite lately… I wonder what’s causing that? Usually, I start to get munchier this time of year.
The Eldar are a real thorn in my side. Gimme Orks any day. I’m up to mission #7, thus far. (Staying true to my 1 mission a day… it’s tempting to blow the whole day playing it.)
I want some fresh sweet corn with my meal tonight… I wonder if it’s in season?
Meeting with the women in technology board this afternoon. I hope it’s quick and painless… this week’s going to be busy… Cocktail Party on Wednesday, Kiwanis presentation Thursday. I’ll be happy when this week is over, and it’s hardly begun.
Hooray for No Hurricane this past weekend!

Random doodle of me plucking the eye stalk out of some alien’s head. (Old Dream, about a year ago)
Speaking of Archives –
1 year ago – monkey-pops/injustice, free movies, more on Ohio case, Nosy coworkers, lovely chat
2 years ago – Peace Corps dream, Conan O’Brien smells bad, palm doodles,
3 years ago – fisher King, Flag treatment, cyborg roaches, bring back art nouveau.
I’ve got the urge to do some silly video-editing/movie making. Maybe next walkabout, I’ll get some good footage to fool with.
Another view of the soul – Egyptian
The ancient Egyptians named at least four components of the soul: the ka was the vital life force, and dwelt within the corpse after death; the ba was the soul proper, and the part that actually went on to the underworld; the khu represented spiritual intelligence, and the ren was one’s name. Two other concepts may have been related to the soul: the sekhem, an embodiment of one’s power, and the khaibit, one’s shadow. It’s definitely the ka that would animate an undead mummy, but khaibit seems like a prime candidate for manipulation by evil necromancy.

Well, I saw the bag lady this morning seeking shelter from the rain under the BK awning. Either she, or a well-made duplicate created to confuse and console me.
EN is going to start as tech next Wednesday, and the Sunday after that. I foresee a week or tow of babysitting from home, just in case, and then I’ll have every other weekend off.
Had a good time talking to him about Earthdawn, Magic cards and Etc.
Dear diary, you make me sick – Article
Keeping a diary is bad for your health, say UK psychologists. They found that regular diarists were more likely than non-diarists to suffer from headaches, sleeplessness, digestive problems and social awkwardness.
