8407 – Midweek. Phew.

Leave a comment

Two parter Dr. Who Episode “Satan Pit” didn’t do much for me. It started off ok, and then sort of unraveled, until it got a quickie star trek last minute baloney ending.

Dang… is it only Wednesday? C’mon. I want to sleep in.

Moment of Lyric is from here. Good stuff. I needed some percussion to make me move. (mp3s at bottom of the entry)

Went through my AIM and snuffed out a lot of old contacts who I never see online anymore… I guess if they want to talk to me, they’ll say hi. (That said, I kept a bunch, too, even though I don’t usually appear online.)

I can hear the “magic ringtone” though I’m well past my teen years. ringtone mp3

Every time I start feeling low, I realize how much I’ve got going for me. I’m so far ahead of 99.9% of the planet, as far as comfort goes… I’ve got a home, climate control, health, Newt, the ‘net, folks I can chitty chat with, LJ, etc. Not a bad world to live in.

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.

Some interesting packages… the honeybees, chicks and the goats, for example. (the other packages)

If we had more Zombies, we wouldn’t need to worry about gas prices.

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.

If it’s Monday, I must have linkies.

Holy Cow. I just found out that the doctor form house was a character on the old Black Adder Series. Well, Hoorah! I didn’t realiseit was the same guy until his face melted off while breaking a girl’s finger. (Let’s see if I remember that episode a year from now)

Nice thoughts – Dreamt of a smoke colored cat named Ivy.

Evolution of Dance on Youtube… 6 minutes of fun wasted time.

Historical Sounds in MP3 Format Nifty to hear Albert Einstein and Tomas Edison’s Actual voices. Ghandi’s voice is very unusual. Some oddball choices in there, like “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”, too.

An adventure is misery and discomfort relived in the safety of reminiscence – Marco Polo.

That’s how I’ll sound with a mouthful of crabs. (Not quite as catchy as the Dugong Song.)

Moment of Lyric – mp3 (see also the mp3 ukelele version- via)

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
Its fun to lose
And to pretend
Shes overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word

Hello (x 16)

With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah

8364 – Cleaning the apt time!

Saw Ray I. out in the parking lot at work yesterday. He seems to be doing well, looks healthy and has been married 4 years now. It seems he’ splaying D&D online regularly.

Is it wrong of me to be in support of Robbie Rotten on Lazytown?

I want to be a lazy scout. (At Least today.)

Moment of Lyric – mp3

I really like the song mostly just for the yeah yeahs and the riffs, but here’ the lyrics, anyhow.

If you could blow up the world with the flick of a switch
Would you do it?
If you could make everybody poor just so you could be rich
Would you do it?
If you could watch everybody work while you just lay on your back
Would you do it?
If you could take all the love without giving any back
Would you do it?
And so we cannot know ourselves or what we’d really do…

With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?

If you could make your own money and then give it to everybody
Would you do it?
If you knew all the answers and could give it to the masses
Would you do it?
No no no no no no are you crazy?
It’s a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want
Because you cannot know yourself or what you’d really do

With all your power
With all your power
With all your power

8344 – Sunday, a day of rest?

Leave a comment

I may be getting a touch sick… serious fatigue yesterday – 4×45 minute naps, and was still beat… mild hot flashes. I couldn’t be bothered to leave the house at all, so no free comic books, Morikami or air show memories for me.

Still a bit weary this morning.

Did you know that if you have a picture on flickr, make it private and then public again, all the favorites attached to it fall off?

I found the security video feed to a store up the street from me. (It only seems to go live outside of business hours)

Kids in the Hall – Dawn of the Dead.

Yup, this sums it up pretty well. “We’re safe, but for how long?”

70 free Streaming video channels,all on one page.(warning for folks with kiddies, there are some 18+ only channels on there, too)

Nice cluster of channels from 18-22 when I tuned in, I hit – vintage superman cartoons, Gamera, an episode of Gunsmoke, some Italian horror and a Lou Costello bit.

Moment of lyric – mp3

Cut the fat off the back of a baboon
Boil it down to a pound into the spoon
Scoop the eye from a fly flying backwards
Take the jaws and the paws off a ‘coon
Take your time, I ain’t lyin’ for good cookin’
Cause the rest of this mess ain’t good lookin’
Take the fleas from the knees of a demon
Tell your pals and gals and come screamin’
To the feast with the beast of the Mau Maus
They make wine from the spine of their bulldogs
They dance and romance for 90 days
It’s a test for the best for who stays
at the feast with the beast of the Mau Maus

Brush your teeth with a piece of a goose toenail
After death steal a breath of a drunk in jail
Pull the skin off your friend with a razor blade
And tonight change tomorrow and bring back yesterday
Shake your hip, bite your lip, and shoot your mother-in-law
Put on your gorilla suit, drink some elbow soup and have a ball
Get it straight, don’t be late, it’s time for mad fun
Take off your shoes, and cook onion stew
They have really begun!

Feast of the Mau Maus has begun
At the feast with the beast of the Mau Maus
They make wine from the spine of their bulldogs
they dance and romance for 90 days
It’s a best of a test for who stays
And a feast with the beast of the Mau Maus
Yes, we’ll have a good time.
C’mon and have a good time. *snort-laugh*

8332 – MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MONDAY! ARGH!

Leave a comment

The Sarah Jane episode of Dr. Who didn’t disappoint, and it was delightful to see both her and K9 again. I do think that if the Doctor had been a little less “devil may care”, a lot fewer innocents would’ve been killed.

In other TV news, I was enjoying Charmed, until they added the blond “cousin oliver”. See also the addition of the kid on Gilmore Girls. They’re just counting down to the end.

Bob Ross Inc. has announced in March 2006 that they have filed a letter of intent to license to Joseph Hatcher’s AGFRAG Entertainment Group to develop exclusively worldwide video/computer games based on Bob Ross’ creative, unique and easy to learn painting techniques and TV show properties.

Right on. Happy Little Trees! “We don’t make mistakes, we just have happy accidents.” I love that guy.

Is it true that 1 human being out of 5 is a Chinese farmer? There are a lot of 20% breakdowns on google.

A few –

  1. one in every five Americans are currently infected with a sexually transmitted viral disease.
  2. One in every five Americans, experiences some type of mental disorder each year
  3. The bacteria that cause meningococcal disease are carried by about one in every five people.
  4. One in every five people in Nairobi is HIV positive
  5. About one in every five people have genital herpes
  6. one in every five people in Jordan have made pledges to UNICEF
  7. One in every five people lack access to safe drinking water.
  8. one in every five people on the planet is a Muslim.
  9. One in every five people in Seoul owns dogs or other pets.
  10. Mild side effects of the Japanese Encephalitis Virus Vaccine occur in about one in every five people who receive it.
  11. one in every five people has a reading problem
  12. One in every five people in the developing world is chronically undernourished
  13. By 2030, one in every five people is likely to be 65 or older
  14. one in every five people who work for the State of California works for the Department of Corrections
  15. one in every five people in the world is surviving on less than $1 a day
  16. One in every five people with sight problems has another disability
  17. One in every five people with HIV is a prison inmate or a former inmate
  18. In Michigan, nearly one in every five people is out of work

To the best of my knowledge, I don’t fall into any of those groups.

I’d say I know folks that fall into group #1, #2, #4 (but not from Nairobi), #5, #6, #8, #9 (in Seoul), #11, #13 (I think GP falls into that group… I’ll be 61), #14, #15, #16, #17

It’s really hard to find a house painted green in my neighborhood. I have yellow, many shades of blue, pink, white, and gray… but no green. Also, I’ve found no stray kitties in my walkabout… Seester Kelliebellie gave me a challenge! I like it, but it may take me longer than I had anticipated.

I had a little tummy-ache this weekend…feeling a bit better now.

Everybody’s got something to hide except me and my monkey.

I like monkeys – mp3

I was walking through town one day and I noticed that the pet store was selling monkeys for five cents apiece. I thought that was odd since they were normally a couple thousand dollars or something, but I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. You know why? I like monkeys.

Dr Who Ep 2 was much better than the first of the season.

Elements of Bad Wolf and Torchwood, much better ambiance, and clever writing. (Funky fighting monks, and a werewolf stalking Queen Victoria doesn’t hurt either.) Potential Steampunk world at war.

Sarah Jane and K9 next week!

Monday Meeting today. New Trainers from Alabama. I hope the accents aren’t too hard for me to follow.

Why do steam irons have a “permanent press” setting?

Nifty random factoid – Botswana is the only country in the world (that I know of, anyhow) currently with a color in its flag meant to represent rain (a sort of blue-gray). (Others that existed in the past – Lesotho ’66-’87, but I’d never heard of that place before doing research.)

New Dr. Who was ok.. I liked the semi-zombie goodness despite the weak ending, but I look more forward to next week’s episode… Werewolves and Queen Victoria!

Secret Wars Re-Enactment Society – Well, it makes as much sense as those Civil War guys.

Aw, phooey… Monday again, eh? Weekend evaporated like fog on a hot day. Had lunch with the Mom and her gang at Sweet Tomatoes, and came home to an overlong nap… Sunday was completely wiped off the map as a result. Danny tried to call me from the Atlanta arport, but both phones he was using were wrecked, microphone-wise. Good to know he made it in ok, however.

I’m not a big fan of recent SNL, but the video bits, and smigel’s tv funhouse animation segments still can shock and awe a bit. Last weekend’s “Disney Vault” bit was pretty awesomely horrid.

Spent some time with Tina and her crew over at Murphy’s. She was showing off her new car, and is probably going to quit Murph’s and just stay with her day gig, now that the car’s bought.

Getting together with Danny after work… still don’t know what we’re doing. I’m fairly surprised he’s not going to some sort of services.

Here are some friends who invite you into their [web] homes to enjoy records with them. Let’s go for a visit! These recordings are typically old rarities that have not been reissued on CD format.

This is the central scrutinizer…
Joe has just worked himself into an imaginary frenzy during the fade- out of his imaginary song
he begins to feel depressed now.
he knows the end is near.
he realized at last that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the imagination of the imaginer
and ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway?
so…so…excuse me…so
who gives a fuck anyway?
so he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo

Isaac Hayes quits South Park

“This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology,” Stone told the Associated Press. “He has no problem – and he’s cashed plenty of checks – with our show making fun of Christians.”

Well, yeah… not to mention Jews, Mormons, Atheists, Rednecks, Santa and who knows what else. Funny how he bailed once they picked on his team.
