8443 – Synced and then edited from palm

Leave a comment

On my way to work yesterday morning, I discovered that a person walking on the courtyard path (me) can easily see into the third-story condos just by looking up, with head level. I also learned that at least one of my elderly neighbors watches tv at 6:20am without a shirt and probably pants – with the shades open. I continued my journey to the bus stop, determined not to keep my gaze earthbound the rest of he way, despite the perils early on.

Gray Day – No Sky or Sun

A monochrome twilight followed shortly after, no absolute black or white, but a nice variety of the range between grew more visible as the sun lifted past the horizon.(I assume, for the direct light lay blocked by thick mats of sky cotton.) More than a few squadrons of birds were in the air, one of which seemed to be missing two members. Rather than a symmetrical V-formation, they were cruising as a giant “check mark” – five birds, three in diagonal line to the right and rear of the lead bird, and just one to the left rear. Either two birds were missing, or one of the guys on the right didn’t like lefty’s breath or missed his takeoff cue.

Plainclothes security gave me a minor chastisement over taking pictures in k-mart. He questioned what was up, and Dan explained to him that I’m just a hobbyist who likes to take pictures of things. (this case, gardening equipment that struck me as “villager armory, in case of Frankenstein”. I got similar low-end flak from security at tri-rail last weekend. (not that he stopped me from taking some in a more covert style)

K-mart guy seemed to be interested in just enforcing the rules, while Wackenhut-boy was a bit more spazzy-zealous in his endeavors. I was much more likely to obey k-man, as a result. rattle a baton at me and it just makes me more resistant.

8432- farewell, June. I won’t be missing you.

Leave a comment

Friday. Payday. Right before a 4-day weekend. Good thoughts for July… June fairly stunk, with a few nice exceptions. June seems to often be a bad month for me.. I’m glad it’s passed for another year.

Rather rushed this morning, more to follow tonight, or from the bus ride, no doubt.

Moment of Lyric – mp3

All alone in this world am I
Not a care for this world have I
Only you keep my eyes open wide
Yes it’s true
I live for you

Not a thing in this world do I own
Only sadness from all that is grown
In this darkness I wait for the day
Yes it’s true
I live for you

For many years I wait
For many tears I wait

All this time my thoughts return to you
Give my love, that is all I can do
Wait in line till I feel you inside
Yes it’s true
I live for you

For many years I wait
For many tears I wait

All this time my thoughts return to you
Give my love, that is all I can do
Wait in line till I feel you inside
Yes it’s true
I live for you

teddygun

A Japanese company called Sunamiya has developed a gun-shaped party cracker that shoots out a teddy bear. The teddy bear would then parachute down.

Developers hit on the idea after noticing that it had become a trend for people to throw teddy bears into the air instead of bouquets at wedding receptions.

8422 – Sunday morning… after a solid night’s sleep

Leave a comment

Woke up on Saturday with a slight pinch in my back… must’ve slept a little funny the night prior… a hot shower and some stretching took care of the bulk of the problem in fairly short order.

Had a lovely day meandering about, looking for proper goodies to put in the apartment, sniffing at teak and rattan-type stuff. Saw a few things that had some potential, and a truly grotesque table that was also a drum made from zebra skin (and legs made from the hooves) which will give the more sensitive folk nightmares for weeks.

As always, we got a lot of good gab-time in, and I always enjoy a day’s worth of social-time.

After doing some legwork, we swung by Tijuana Taxi, and the food was jim-dandy. The place was basically a Mexican version of Crabby Jack’s – with better food. I’ll certainly be back. (I’ve got 2 additional good reasons to swing by there, it’s near both Danny’s house and Tina’s.) Since the refried beans were made with lard, I had the chile-cheese smashed potatoes, and they were tasty, though it took a moment to get used to the idea of mashed potatoes with a south of the border flair. I think I’ll have to get something a little lighter next time, because the veggie Chimichanga was just too much after an appetizer.

When we finished, I took the BCT home… route 2 to the West Terminal, Route 22 to Central, and Route 10 right on home. I ate so much, I was *still* feeling a bit overfed 2 hours later.

The bus ride was nice, too… the rain started to pound down, coming in sheets to the point where I couldn’t see more than 25 feet in any direction. Thankfully, the terminals are well covered against the elements. (most street stops aren’t so blessed.) By the time I got home, the streets were clean, but the skies had fairly dried up, for the final walking-leg home.

8405 – Happy B’day, Littler Big Sis! *huggos* to LDY

Leave a comment

Monday’s morning meeting DRAGGED. A lot was said, but I fear that little was communicated.

mass transit trip planner for south florida. handy as all get out.

After a nice gab about “something to do with your hands, rather than smoking” resulted in finding these toys.

Stretchy Ape, filled with rubber beads! Water Snake! Ye Olde Popping Martian!

Moment of Lyric –

Waiting at the station,
waiting for the right moves,
waiting in the basement,
waiting for the right cues,
waiting in a daydream,
waiting in the slipstream

waiting…
waiting in the right bars,
waiting in the right shoes,
waiting in a fast car,
waiting in the airports,

waiting for my airmiles,
waiting in slow motion,
coming through the turnstiles.

And if you ever change your mind,
you know I’m hard to find,
and if you ever need someone…

I’ll still be waiting…
Waiting with the orphans, waiting for the bee stings, they tell me that success brings,
waiting in the half light, waiting for your whole life,
waiting for an ideal…a low deal…a no deal, to play your stereotype.
And if you ever find the time,
you know I’m not far behind,
And if you ever need someone…

I’ll still be waiting…
just waiting for a friend.
I say it’s all right,
It’s all right my friend…just waiting.

8404 – BANGS! Monday Already? I feel like I’m still in the 70s.

Leave a comment

Nice to be relieved of on-call by EN yesterday…. I really prefer to have my weekend to myself, if it can be helped. Lovely rain all day Sunday, and I didn’t do much in way of walkies, due to the foot boo-boo.

Feeling nostalgic for the mid-late 70s… Remembering imprints from the first decade of life, or thereabouts. Sort of funny…so many of folks I know and talk to regularly weren’t even protein yet in 1975. Oh, for the good ol’ days of eating Cap’n Crunch in front of the boob tube watching cartoons or whatnot before the sun has even come up, without a care in the world. Bro still just about 2 years old or so… My Dad about a decade younger than I am now, Momster even younger than that. Only responsibilities are not to wake anybody up.. maybe do a little coloring, or read a book about dinosaurs with word searches and connect the dots at the end of each chapter.

Even as a munchkin, I had to have mixed media piped into my skull… tv, reading, writing, coloring, action figures (or tiny ones, like army men/cowboys and indians cast in plastic).. usually all at the same time. I’m the only person I know that drew crayoned outlines on paper of my GI Joe and Hulk Dolls. Not that I was playing coroner, or anything. I just liked filling in the silhouettes in different poses as a kind of multicolored version of Hiroshima shadows, usually in multiple overlays.

I still remember that Hulk doll with the torn purple pants and the left leg repaired with a nut and bolt across the knee by my dad. More flashback-type stuff from that period.

From ZDNet:

The U.S. House of Representatives definitively rejected the concept of Net neutrality on Thursday, dealing a bitter blow to Internet companies like Amazon.com, eBay and Google that had engaged in a last-minute lobbying campaign to support it.

Juliabee put me onto heifer.org – Nifty sounding group to help teach folks self-reliance.

Heifer’s mission is to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth and they do that by working with communities. Heifer provides families with training and a livestock gift. The family then has hope for a sustainable future and they in turn become donors by passing on the gift of the animal’s offspring to another family in need. Take a look at this video to learn more about this organization that helps families all over the world.

Random Scotto factoid – I like the Smothers Brothers.

Moment of Lyric – (video)blondie_heart_of_glass

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.

Once I had a love and it was divine.
Soon found out I was losing my mind.
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind.
Mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.

In between “what I find is pleasing” and “I’m feeling fine”, love is so confusing.
It’s no peace of mind if I fear I’m losing you.
It’s just no good, you teasing like you do.

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.

Lost inside adorable illusion and I cannot hide.
I’m the one you’re using please don’t push me aside.
We could make it cruising, yeah.

Yeah, riding high on love’s true bluish light
Ooh ooh ooh whoa x4

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.

8402 – Late Morning Post, due to sleepy-headedness, and my not needing to be on call.

Leave a comment

Last night was one of pleasant conversation. I was hardly on the web at all

Tomi called me from Finland on skype… it works surprisingly well. Sound was really clean, and it was nice catching up with him, though it was weird, given that he was about 8 hours ahead of me.

Topics: Good ol’ Days, Traveling to the Arctic Circle to see buddies, “the ‘Vette”, Kitties, Cigarettes & Cap’n Kangaroo and Kev re:Gitmo

Had another delightful million-year gab with Tina, too. She’s certainly got a gift for gab. I hope that she’s feeling better today… when she first called, she sounded like a 12 year old with vapor lock, but eventually, the bulk of her nasal-yuck cleared out, and the lungs sounded more loose and open.

Topics: Too Numerous to count (I think I may’ve found someone that can topic-jump more rapidly than I can) But included family, social Darwinism / social quirks, critters (cats, dogs and boars), economy, books primarily popcorn books), tasty food including an eggs and cheese ditty, not-so-tasty food, some very refreshing honesty, and an exceptionally foul-mouthed nun.

Speaking of Foul-mouthed: Listened to a Redd Foxx album recently, and man… I don’t mind blue comedians, but he was just awful. A bunch of weak one-liners. No craft to his work at all. At least Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor build a story that has some profanity – not just a quick “zinger” with a rude ending. Probably, I’m just a different audience – I like Bill Cosby’s albums and Steve Martin’s stuff.

Found a link to a gazillion mp3s of Stars on 45. Pop hits medley-ed out on disco hand-claps. Tossed me right back into the middle of 1981, quick like a magic trick.

Jack the cat chases black bear up tree

capt.d429145a753041439aad741f7aa5fe6a.aptopix_cat_scares_bear_wxs102capt.7825385bce084b65adefeada0f873df3.cat_scares_bear_wxs103

WEST MILFORD, N.J. – A black bear picked the wrong New Jersey yard for a jaunt earlier this week, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree — twice.

Jack, a 15-pound orange-and-white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, chasing small animals when he can, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising.

“We used to joke, ‘Jack’s on duty,’ never knowing he’d go after a bear,” cat owner Donna Dickey told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday’s newspapers.

Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti first spotted Jack’s accomplishment after her husband saw a bear climb a tree on the edge of their northern New Jersey home’s back yard on Sunday. Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat.

After about 15 minutes peering down at the cat from the tree, the bear descended and tried to run away, only to have Jack chase it up another tree.

At this point Dickey, who feared for her cat, called Jack back home and the bear scurried back to the woods.

“He doesn’t want anybody in his yard,” Dickey said.

Bear sightings are not unusual in West Milford, which experts consider one of the state’s most bear-populated areas.

Watched Iron Giant last night, for the first time in a few years. Still as excellent as I recalled. While it played on the TV, I unpacked a few of the boxes stowed by the bookcases that needed weeding out. Found a bunch of old Legion Comics which distracted me for a bit while I put ’em in order and put them at the bottom of the linen closet, for the lack of a better temperature-controlled location. Followed up with The Swarm. (An Irwin Allen Sci-fi stinko classic featuring Michael Caine shooting bees from his eyes.)

Cleaning Lady comes by today… after she’s done, I’ll probably go walkabout for a bit, if the weather’s right. I think a walk along the beach might be in order.

Cinnamon toast for breakfast! First time I’ve made it in years… it always reminds me of being a little kid.

Sort of disappointed in Penn Gilette’s show, so I’m almost all NPR, OTR, and Prairie Home Companion… oh, Stomp Tokyo and Marc Maron’s show. Sometimes I listen to them on the ride into/from work, while reading, and I sometimes blank out what I’m listening to.

Meeting with mom was interesting. We discussed bro and the new project she has with Wilton. Apparently, in her will, if she and Wilton go together, I am to be executor of the estate. That’s a lot of responsibility… bro’s share will go into a trust… he can use it for education, rehab or appropriate health expenses, but never will a dollar touch his hands, for fear that he’ll spend badly.

M&W’s company will be doing some work up in Sterling, VA (about 15 minutes from Dulles airport, or 40 min from DC) during the months of August through October, so I have a free crash spot should I want to visit points north during that time. Sally and Bill are up there, too… I can’t believe that she’s 61, and he’s 50, now. Have twenty-five years really passed that swiftly? I still remember Sally and Mom working at the salon, and my going to see Star Wars in the same plaza. Now, their kids are in the late 20s, too. I’d love to visit the old house, hit the smithsonian Air & Space museum, and visit some LJ-type folk.

I am officially one year cable-tv free. (though I cheat and snag a couple of shows via bittorrent.) Take that, comcast!

Moment of Lyric – mp3

O Fortuna,

I am of a positive mindset in a melancholy time… got news of a quiet patch ahead, but I’m confident of things working out for the best in the long run. I hope that they’ll seem that way along the short and middle run, too.

In related news, I do believe that dreams can come true. I’ve seen it happen, and for that I’m happy. It continues to be a good week for dreams.

Lunching with mom after work, catching up on family business, and will generally gab. Remembered what was going on on Friday – maybe a get together with some old coworkers for a brew, maybe karaoke? Maybe not.. those things tend to evaporate. I want to visit with Kev again before he hits gitmo, too.

Blood donation and shots went well. I’m glad I’ve worked out a schedule where doing platelets is feasible.

Nice time out with mental_circles and an assortment of other lj-folks – Was surprised to see grrwoo there (I hadn’t seen him since ldy last in town, a couple of years ago), not as surprised to see sammystudio, and met some keen new folks in newbabel (Frank), _chandra (Chandra), home_grown_cl (Carol Lynn) and hedache (Baruk). Light convo and dumb jokes abounded over at the kids side of the table, good cheer was had by all – surprisingly little drama considering the diversity of lj-folks. A guitarist playing 70’s hits was faint but pleasant background noise. There were three tardy arrivals, whose names are eluding me now, in the haze of the morning light. They were cool, too, but on the other side of the table’s horizon, so regular convo with them was more difficult. Anyhow, I had a nice time at the “kids table”. Tina’s haircut is much cuter in person.

I’ll post pics later on, when I can be bothered to get up and go to the other room to get the camera. [edit:added.]
