8914 – Friday the 13th!

Leave a comment

It was beautiful, foggy morning on the way to the train station. (not my image, but cool, nonetheless). Lots of mist hanging, especially over the water.

Saw Fantastic Four – Silver Surfer after work with BHK, and it was a fun little bit of entertainment.

Cool! The DC Train maps are now on google!(via dcist)

We’re not going to Salem this weekend. Instead, I think we’re just going to cool our collective jets, and regroup a bit.

I’ve been watching season 6 of The Shield on my commute to and from work lately… and the writing is still quite good. I think the child molester subplot was a bit transparent, but aside from that, it has been interesting seeing what’s going on with Vic’s crew. It sounds like they’re already wrapping up season seven, now, even though the sixth was supposed to be the final one.

After I whittle that one down my travel show is going to be The Riches, I think. Never did catch up with that on the Tivo upstairs, and BHK seems to have lost interest.

Positive thing about summer. Local corn. The best I’ve ever had, anywhere. Seriously, it’s amazing.

I’m really loving the local corn crop.

By the way, to my anonymous commenter: Not everyone in the world is racist. Not everyone in the world is sexist. “All [insert skin color / gender / geographic point of origin / religious belief / sexual preference / whatever here] stick together” is untrue. Sure, there are a lot of ’em, but humans lack cooperation on that level. Not to say that *a lot* might. Special interest groups, Armies, and the like. If you could get *any* group of people of that size to really work together, the world would be a different place – and probably a scary one, since I don’t tend to agree with any one group’s agenda.

Atheists can cuss by taking someone else’s lord’s name in vain. It’s not like snarling “Random Chance!” or “Darwin!” is nearly as good as Jesus Christ come to think of it… blurting “Vishnu”, “Zeus” or “Zoroaster” is sort of dorky sounding too. David and Abraham are in too much usage to be any good, either. Solomon?

Maybe I’ll just stick to Comic Book / Cartoon Exclamations… Merciful Rao! Sufferin’ Sappho/Succotash! Leapin’ Lizards! Sweet Christmas! Good Grief! Great Hera! By Crom!

I am guilty of saying “My Stars” – not due to Henry McCoy, but Samantha Stevens.

By the Vishanti is too cumbersome. Imperious Rex is just dopey. Dumber than saying Spoooon! in fact.

I do like to say Zoroaster, though. It’s a fun name. Zoroaster. Say it with me, dear journal. Zoroaster. Zarathustra, in the native.

If we were to ever get a gray kitten, I’d like to name him Zoroaster. (That is not to say that we’re getting a gray kitten any time soon.)

Regarding this article about faith and democratic candidates … I can’t get the phrase “Pillory Hillary” out of my head.

Current hot brain temp – 107.17 “on fire” stats out of 0-120

logic – 120
math – 120
memory – 91.49
language – 120
concentration – 84.39

Concentration and Memory. A pair of enemies I’ve had to combat more than a few times in my life.

I’ve sometimes wondered if DMAE would help with those weaker areas of my brain… but I don’t think I want the trade off. I do feel that both memory and concentration can be worked and built up over time… part of the reason I’m enjoying hot brain is some possible side effect of improved function in that area.

I played with mercury when I was in high school, and sometimes wonder if it cost me some IQ points. What about drinking? That kills brain cells. A few fights where I had a little jarring head trauma. What if instead of just being pretty dang smart, that I were brilliant?

I’d probably be less sympathetic, more evil, and give in to temptation to herd pathetic sheeple, bend them to my will and then just laugh, laugh, laugh would be too great.

Um, did I just write that?

Oops.

Part of the reason I’m better at playing it by ear, I guess.. .a reflex of having to dance around memory?

Cyn pointed me in the direction of Yelp! – I’ve already added two reviews.. one for someplace I love to eat… the other place, not so much.

Slurpee Day 2007 – Just a reminder to all: July 11th is once again Slurpee day – a wonderful day to celebrate the creation of the Slurpee. This year, as in the years before, 7-Eleven stores will be handing out free 7.11oz Slurpees from 7am until 11pm (or until supplies last). Or are they free Squishies, with the Simpsons Promotion?

Sicko actually has the undivided attention of Blue Cross, Blue Shield. Cool. It also offended Hillary. She would have made more points staying put and facing the music. My big problem with Sicko was that I thought it was more “preaching to the choir”. If someone’s actually paying attention, so much the better. Additionally, Bush says the sorry state of health care is all the American people’s fault.

Still unsure if I’m going to Salem with BHK for the weekend. I’ll be mostly useless there for whatever projects they have in mind, but I can bring the laptop and work on whatever else in the meantime, if I can get online. Maybe take in a little walk or two when the sun goes down and the lightning bugs are will-o-wisps.

Reading old travel books or novels set in faraway places, spinning globes, unfolding maps, playing world music, eating in ethnic restaurants, meeting friends in cafes whose walls hold the soul-talk of decades- all these things are part of never-ending travel practice, not unlike doing scales on a piano, shooting free throws, or meditating. They are exercises that help lure the longing out of the soul and honor the brooding-over of unhatched ideas for journeys.

But the oldest practice is still the best. Take your soul for a stroll. Long walks, short walks, morning walks, evening walks- whatever form or length it takes. Walking is the best way to get out of your head. Recall the invocation of the philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard, who said, “Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts.” As if in his footsteps, Friedrich Nietzsche also remarked, “Never trust a thought that didn’t come by walking.”

BHK called me Scooter Libby ! (Keith Olbermann delivers arguably his most pointed and most powerful Special Comment yet on the ramifications of Bush’s commutation of Libby’s sentence. video_wmv Download (20263) | Play (28541) video_mov Download (9616) | Play (15158) ) WTF, mate? I’m not a rat… nor do I have cronies that can get me off the hook; maybe she thought that Scooter is too beautiful to go to jail? Perhaps they should have sentenced him to death by lethal injection; Bush seems to have no problem with that being too “excessive.”

Half day at work today – Good thing, because there’s so much to take care of before the fireworks tonight. BHK will be making some of her classic “mexican-bake-lasagna-thingie” of which I am a huge fan. Yes I am.

Got a kindly warning driving into work – 51 in a 40, a big traffic stop grabbing everyone who goes around a major turn. Police in Maryland are more polite to BHK than they are in Florida.

Also seen on the way in was a sickly-looking fox that got a “go home kitty!” and then “Kitty doesn’t look so good” before we realised what the animal actually was. I hope it wasn’t sick… odd to see a fox out in the city sidewalks.

Alerted yesterday by Jon at the DC Traveler that the mighty Titan Arum has begun blooming at the US Botanic Garden. He was, no doubt, tipped off by the oh-so-lovely smell of rotting corpse wafting through his window, which the flower uses to attract meat-loving (at least, meat-stench-loving) bugs to pollinate it. The giant, odorous plant seems to be falling into habit, blooming every two years since 2003 — before that it hadn’t bloomed in 12 years, and the species is usually known to bloom unpredictably.

Not only does the “Corpse Plant” feature the mouth-watering fragrance of dead rats, but it grows to fairly enormous heights, with some wild-growing plants (they’re native to Indonesia) reaching 12 feet tall, though most average a still impressive five feet. If you’re interested in seeing the purpley-crimson color that reveals itself as the petals open up, you must act quickly. The Titan Arum slowly began budding in June, but reached full bloom and began emitting its zombie-licious fragrance the day before yesterday, so you’ve only got perhaps today and maybe tomorrow to catch this unusual sight. At least for a couple of years.

The US Botanic Garden is located at 100 Maryland Avenue, SW and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m

Fireworks were quite lovely tonight; I didn’t expect a show of that magnitude from a small town… pretty close to the Miami show in volume… twin barges full of mortars just went to town at about 9:30pm. [attach flickr pictures here]

Pretty Gentle day today – Spent time looking for work, prepped a bit for bhk’s meeting tomorrow, watched Hyperdrive. I rather dig the show, but suspect it won’t be renewed… six episodes seems like just the right amount to get all of the parody stuff out before hitting too many redundancies. (edit: I stand corrected – looks like it’ll be returning)

My Youtube account is currently shut down, due to my hosting a kids in the hall sketch and a Persephone’s bees video. If it doesn’t make it back, I’ll just stick with Google video… no copyright issues for my home movies and misc foolishness. Sort of pesky that they didn’t just take down those two, however. That spidey video was a lot of fun, and pretty active.

Dang it… I don’t get a good vibe from Obama, now. He other hand has no opinions that I can see… not sure what a platform of “I like Ronald Reagan” is for a democrat. He’s a great speaker, but I haven’t seen a lot of solid content that I like.

Please, please, don’t throw Clinton in the ring, due to her past criminal dealings and all around greasy demeanor – if anything, sh strikes me as more of a “slick willie” type than her husband. She has no charisma that I can see… the only thing that I perceive going for her is a more knee-jerk following by people who want either *any* democrat or just think that a different set of genitalia will make things better in the white house. I’m not buying.

If I have to pick, Obama will get the vote, just because he’s the devil I *don’t* know.

Again picking not the one that’s best, but picking the one that’s not as bad as the others… bleh. Ah well. Maybe I’m being optimistic, but it doesn’t seem to be as bad as the last two elections or so.

Getting together with Danny today. Mid-morning, we’ll get a bite to eat, and then goof off. Maybe play some pirates, or Axis and Allies Minis. I slept hard last night – from 11pm to just about 7am, with little a solid sea of black in between.. I don’t recall tossing, turning or dreaming at all.

8587 – Newt is Seven today!

Leave a comment

Happy Bornday Newtie! Feel free to peek in on him and say howdy!

Free rides on tri-rail today notification was a bit late, and on a poorly chosen day… but why look a gift ticket in the mouth?

Just go to Tri-Rail’s Website at www.tri-rail.com, then print out a voucher that will let you ride the commuter train anywhere between Miami and West Palm Beach for free all day today, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2006.

The giveaway is designed to mark national Communities in Motion Day, an annual promotion mounted by the American Public Transportation Association to promote the use of mass transit and to educate the public about its benefits.

Watched Ultimate Avengers wasn’t too bad, but I really prefer JLU. I never did see season 5, and I’m pretty impressed! Deadman episode, Warlord Episode, redone Carter Hall, Legion of Doom, a Flash Rogues Gallery episode… pretty nice way to exit with a bang.

Most enlightening quote overheard yesterday – “libertarians — people who think roads just happen”

Of course, that’s a bottled way of saying what Brooke Shelbey Biggs says… “Libertarianism is uninformed capitalist greed in civil-rights clothing” and that there are “a few issues libertarians tend to ignore when talking about the promise of a future without government interference: inherent cultural disadvantage and affirmative action; public-works projects like freeways for all those new-money Jags around Silicon Valley; funding for the arts; child-abuse prevention and intervention; medical care for the elderly; and too many more to list”.

A lot of criticism… especially since I go along with the basic premise of “be nice, let people do what they want for the most part, as long as they don’t hurt someone else that doesn’t want to be hurt.”

Feeling the beginnings of a case of bronchitis, I think. Coughing is getting worse, as is muscle soreness and increased tiredness – possibly a minor fever, too? CC at work sighed, tsked or clucked with maximum histrionics every time I cough, which makes me laugh… and made me cough a bit more as a result. I had a pretty bad jag at about 10pm last night, so I’m heading to the doctor if I can get in this morning.

First Episode of Legion of Super Heroes wasn’t too bad. Not sure how I feel about the “greatest american hero – needs training” superman. I think it’s probably ok as a kid hero thing.

Nice cameo of skeets, Booster gold and a lot of Green Lantern Races at the museum, they did a pretty sharp update.

Contrast that with “Heroes”… my jury’s still out on that one. It has potential, but needs a little more oomph, I think.

The C in CW stands for CBS and the W stands for WB – Columbia Warner? (CBS&WB) – something weird about an abbreviation of 2 abbreviations.

So, is the actor playing Luke leaving Gilmore Girls, or are they just getting really uppity with the writing?

How to crack a walnut with one hand:

  • First, place two hard-shelled walnuts in the palm of your hand.
  • Carefully line up the seams, and wrap your fingers around them.
  • With your hand slightly cupped, get a good grip – One walnut should rested against the base of the thumb, while the other one presses against the curved second and third fingers.
  • Squeeze *HARD* until the weaker one of the two walnuts gives in to the pressure.

That move *really* impresses folks… I once got a “Woo!” from John, the first time I showed it to him.

Good during the winter holidays, when there are walnuts all over the place.

I’m a little envious of folks that are in a place (MD) where they can see their breath… I’ll get to do that this weekend- airports have reduced restrictions on liquids again, which means that I can bring a drink aboard. Non-stop flights this time, so no layovers! Most Excellent!

I’m looking forward to late October walkabouts and after. Basic thoughts include the Keys, Vizcaya, and maybe assorted South Florida locales.

Citgo is owned by Venezuela, eh?

Interesting answers to yesterday’s poll.

There are many different variations of Rock, Paper, Scissors which range from simple changes in the names of the objects to increasing the number of players or objects. While interesting, most rule variations suffer from one problem or another, making them less interesting games.Versions of this game are also observed in many different cultures. It is usually known by direct translations of “Rock, Paper, Scissors”although some cultures have slightly different names or even entirely different elements representing the different objects. For example in Japan there is a variation which uses a tiger, a chief and the chief’smother as the three elements (the tiger beating the chief’s mother, the chief beating the tiger and the chief’s mother beating the chief). In Indonesia another version is played with the elements as an elephant, a man and an ant (the elephant crushing the man, the man crushing the ant and ant humorously defeating the elephant by crawling into the animal’sear and making it go insane).[1] The Chinese, not counting Taiwanese, and Koreans use Cloth along with Rock and Scissors, while the Japanese have adopted Paper. Minor variation is also observed in the standard game play.

iTunes RSS Server is a web server software to read your iTunes Music Library.xml and publish the playlists (including Smart Playlists) as RSS 2.0 Podcast feed. It handles MP3 and AAC files as well as server media files upon byte-range requests.

It allows neat stuff like “listening to your iTunes@home from PSP remotely”.

I wonder how many people would know what an anvil looks like, if there were no warner brothers cartoons?

Nice Job, Mr. Clinton.

This is the first 20 minutes of Bill Clinton’s interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. In this clip, Wallace asks Clinton why he didn’t do more to capture or kill Osama bin Laden while he was in office. Clinton clearly feels like he has been set up and doesn’t hold back in telling Wallace just how he feels.

Venture brothers “fallen arches” was back on track. Nice to see Orph with his own team. Nice use of Ouroboros and the All-Seeing Eye as a logo, too.

Ah, explanation why that notification thing only worked for some people before.

Gobbled up the rest of Pride & Prejudice yesterday. Well, Elizabeth certainly wins out. Darcy, (you dink) bad first impressions, but nice recovery. Netherfield is a *terrible* name for an estate.

Nice perspective on place in society. I wonder what the world will look like in another hundred or so years? What’ll be acceptable? Which stigmas will be left? Maybe I’m a super-optimist, but I can see a time (granted, likely more than a few generations down the line) where folks will not, for the most part, be judged based on genetic factors like gender or skin color. I wonder who or what the scapegoat will be; who’ll get pushed down so others can raise themselves up.

I think that monkey politics are an integral part of how humans behave. Some leader and clique-type activities will happen, territory and a need to push folks around. Who’s next on the list? Or, more likely, who’ll stay on the list, 200 years from now? Will it still be folks who are more easily singled out by shape or manner? People with more aggression or drive winning out over folks that can be more readily stomped on?
