| Newtcam, October 1, 2004 A morning pic of Newt’s daily rounds. Looks like he’s smoking a butt! |
6906 – Turn Lemons into lemonade.
Well, bro bailed on his birthday bash a full 5 minutes before he was going to be picked up. That’s got to be some kind of record. I’m thinking that odds favor the theory that he got a better offer and wasn’t even calling from home. The “I’m going to lay down, and sleep… I probably won’t hear if Mom knocks on the door” line is what makes me think so.
So, instead of getting together with the family, I was suddenly free. What to do?
Simple answer? Make beefaroni! (vegetarian style, natch)
I had macaroni, veggie burger crumbles, and some awesome oniony-garlic tomato sauce… works for me!
I’ve never mentioned things that my mother was good at preparing for dinner…. beefaroni reminds me of her stuffed peppers, which was probably her specialty. I should try to reproduce that sometime.
Went through, and flushed out some old games that were taking up HD space. (I can always reinstall if the urge returns) – I’m getting the itch to put on a few fat new games. (Sims 2, Doom 3, Battlefront, and that tasty looking Warhammer Dawn of War game. Orks in Goggles!– related:Translate English to Ork )
Bye bye for now to –
- Grand Theft Auto – Vice City (That’ll come back, as soon as I get the itch to bash someone’s skull in with a bat)
- Final Fantasy XI – 5+ GIG??!
- Call of Duty
- The Hulk
- There Beta (I kept the “real” version)
- America’s Army (2-some gig right there)
- Warcraft III (and Frozen Throne)
- Simpsons Hit & Run
- Tron 2.0
- Army Men (How long was that rattling around in there?)
That, and killing some old movies freed up about 23 gig. Amazing. (About of 53 gig free on the drive, now)
A nice defrag after, and Big Brain should spin like a top, now.
While Big Brain got his head together, I took a little walk to the local zebbin-lebbin, and got a nice diet -pepsi slushie for dessert.

walkies out and about on bro’s b’day – may as well do something! nice to look at the bright lights and take in the night air. |

zebbin-lebbin Home of the uber-slushie… better for me than ice cream, more flavorful than celery. |

Tonight is the full moon…. and I smile every time I see the halo surrounding her.
Yesterday’s Worth1000 photoshopping challenge is to create the ruins of cities that are still standing. Some tasty post-apocalyptic visions here
6905 – undifferentiated tissue process (ts-77ix)
Today is my bro’s 32nd birthday. I’ll be getting together with him after work tonight for supper and presents. No giving him cash or easily swapped out items this year… I’m going to help him fix up his truck so he can make some money doing post-hurricane cleanup around the tri-county area. Help him to help himself.
Samples of the courtyard before and after Jeanne came through. Who knew so many leaves were left after the first two ‘canes? All the old leaves were just raked out, too. Ah well!
6904 – Some pictures and Misc.
Well, aside from a few power spikes that caused a reboot or seventeen, I seem to have come through the front end of the storm just fine. It’s mighty moist outside, but wind has settled way down.
Here’s some pictures of the empty streets around the Elbo Room yesterday (as opposed to the first day of the Hurricane season, which featured fembots.)
6900 – fun meme
Ok, I’ll play the game..
1. Think of a word you would use to describe me.
2. Go to Google Image Search and search for that word.
3. Select the picture you see as most fitting, and post it as a reply.

6875 – We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl…year after year.
Looks like Ivan is doing a left hand arc around my location.
Good! I hope it leaves as many people alone as possible.
Been *very* flattered lately… I surely appreciate it.
Big Kahuna took call all day Saturday, and most of the day Sunday. Happy-happy! I’m disappointed EN hasn’t called back or shown much concern about his lost sheet.
Watched Shaun of the Dead, and it was very well done. One of the most entertaining flicks I’ve seen in a long time. I’m a sucker for slice of life / dark humor / zombie movies. I love how oblivious the guys were. Not as gory as I’d thought it would be, except for a few select places.
They had the worst improvised weapons known to any zombie movie. In it’s I’ve never seen a cricket bat used so well to fend off the undead… and the “We’re coming to get you, Barbara!” bit was sharp.
Speaking of which, should a breakout of zombieism take place in South Florida, there are a *lot* of places to hole up securely behind aluminum / wooden shutters, and so much construction stuff to fend off bites. (Not to mention more guns scattered about than the ATF)

6874 – Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Pretty cool… a lot of anonymous activity in last Sunday’s entry… folks debating about heading down to Orlando this for the honeymoon. I agree, it might be a good idea to postpone. It’s rare that I see anonymous non-spam activity. Hope the entry is helpful!
I got 17 out of 18 on the arcade sound quiz. (I missed the one about Zelda/FF/Bad Dudes – I was never a good nintendroid.)
Why is something so destructive, so lovely?
Danny likes “reality tv”.
Amish in the City and the Survivor series, in particular.
I remain a skeptic and suspect behind the scenes scripting.
Big Kahuna has been very generous to me lately. I think that having a work ethic while other people act like little punks might have something to do with it. I got a new chair, she offered to take some call this weekend, and some other nice fringes. Hopefully that’ll mean a raise sometime soon, too.
Heartbreaking case last night… old man with Alzheimer’s. He’s a habitual wander off, and apparently his caregivers can’t give him the attention he needs. He’s constantly taking off on his family. The last time he took off, he had a moment of clarity and tried to commit “suicide by cop”.
Now none of my LJ mail is making it to me automatically. Forgive me if I don’t reply immediately.
I’ve had lovely chats with Sammy, Whims, Phillykat, Jen and K lately… it seems I only rarely get pinged from AIM, ICQ, or MSN anymore, with last night being a pleasant exception.
Speaking of the first two… I’m glad to hear Sammy’s back in CoH, and There’s having trouble opening up on my system. I think it’s something to do with the new update. Reinstalled, and it works fine now. Had a grand time running around and getting reacquainted with folks.
Duran Duran got back together… Why couldn’t it have been The Talking Heads ? (A whole album is streamable from there.)

6867 – Home again, home again, jiggety jig
Back at home base – Power was still out when I arrived, so Dan and I went to publix to get some dry goods and water for me to wait it out here. We had some serendipitous encounters with another shopper… Dan (the big goof) kept prodding me to get her number.
Obligatory tiny quicktime movie of gale-force winds.(~700k) Warning, loudy-loud wind-whoosh.
Power is been back on now, though spotty. Cell phones are still kind of weird in this area, too.
I’m now shaved, showered and re-goatee’d. I’m regretting the office tomorrow.. a lot of work ahead. But, it’ll make the day go by that much more swiftly. I figure the majority of the morning will be putting machines back where they belong, and getting the network back to aces.
Newt’s so happy to be home, he’s practically dancing. I’m delighted to have my own bed again, too, though it wasn’t really a hardship staying with D&J. They were very helpful and gracious… I appreciate being able to stay there. Janet’s cooking is a lot better than I remembered. The scones were especially good.
Ivan is due next weekend. Some frickin’ supervillian is testing his weather machine, I just know it.
Who knows what stuff I missed on the blogs I read…I imagine I’ll get caught up eventually.
Um.. Paris Hilton’s publishing her “memoirs?” It’s a pity that there’s even a possible market for that.
Snopes link for anyone else that mentions that whole “757 or missile?” pentagon crash thing. Read it top to bottom… it answers every question posted with logical and well-researched answers. I guess it’s rearing up again, because the anniversary is drawing near.
