8165 – Monday, here again. 5 day week ahead.

Kind of funny, Hav chit-chatted with Kev about the FP, and mentioned Die Hard to him before I even had a chance to do so. Hopefully we can get together more often, now that I’m a bit more north.


Woo. Chilly out this morning! 40s Fahrenheit. No wonder Newt was under the covers with me!

Today, I get to explain to everyone again that I didn’t watch the Super Bowl.


Moment of Lyric: mp3

I’m not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night

8162 – mmm zombie roaches!

8161 – Friday, what to do?

Called CompUSA last night around 4pm, and the voice mail is full. do they not ever check it?

Called the manager, Jackie, and said a tech would call me back once finished with a customer. I requested an eta, and she said “a half hour, tops.

I called back 2 hours later after no call came in. I spoke to Steve, who said that he’ll call and find out the problem, and for me to call him at noon tomorrow if I haven’t heard back from him yet. Let’s see what the excuse is this time.


As assumed, no Danny today, so plan B – walkabout. Treat myself to good times. Chinese Buffet for lunch, maybe CJ’s for dinner. Work out. Wander someplace I’ve never been before. I think I’m going to pass on the spa, unless I stumble across it in my journeys.

FP will take place tomorrow with Kev and Tomi, maybe Brad?

GeotargetWow, thanks everybody for all the warm birthday wishes! Also, thank you to Oneeyed and Sedef for the great gift! I’m not sure what I’m going to get with it yet!


Like Phil, I saw my shadow, so a bit more cool weather for me, I hope


I’m officially part of 40 faces now, too!


Had a nice day so far, slept in, played with Newt, rode the bike downtown and got my homestead, voter’s registration, and ID all straightened out for the new address. I think I’m pretty much done transferring stuff to the new place, now. The new Florida state ID cards are pretty, and apparently I straighten out to 6’6″ on the wall height chart.


Buckle up! – Video testing an unmanned Plane vs. Concrete safety wall. Wall wins.


Got this from acoolsecretary :

Yay, monkey!

Scotto1

Also, very cool cards from Mom and Ldy, not to mention swell waves in other folk’s Journals and websites.


Danny’s getting sick, so probably no get-together tomorrow. Poor guy sounds more disappointed than I am that he’ll have to use his sick day actually being sick. My Plan B? Probably go to the spa and get a sports massage and try to get some jacuzzi-time in.

8130 – out with the work kids (and Tracy)

GeotargetNo video card yesterday. Perhaps today is Big Brain’s Day. Perhaps today, the moon will crack in fourths, and the glowing pink gas inside will descend from above to turn us all into delicious edible ferns for when the dinosaurs come back.

Dear Compusa…

If you can’t make your mind up, We’ll never get started.
And I don’t wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me,
Say yes.
But if you don’t, dear, confess.
And please don’t tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.


Out with the gang at Max’s at the Beach place. Pictures of Kaytee, Randy, Tracy and Vicki under the cut. Apparently, I’m the only person in South Florida without a hard E at the end of my Name… even our server’s name was Andy. Tracy’s new haircut was quite fetching, as was Kaytee’s. Liz couldn’t make it due to her flying out to be with her family due to Grandpa’s pancreas issues.

3 blonds and a bearded guy.

8124 –

GeotargetI don’t know what I was thinking… that all of the homeless would pack up and go into lockdown, but they seemed even more populous than ever on the ride to work yesterday. I mentally tallied 36 as the bus rolled by them.


Big Brain’s video card arrived damaged. Murphy’s law, I imagine. They’re sending another one, and it should be installed by Friday. Gary, the Head muck-de-muck apologized again, and gave me “his personal guarantee” that it would be installed and my machine would be ready for use by Friday after work.

Yeah, yeah, right, right. We’ll see.


Is it a sign of Newt really disliking my mashed potatoes if he hops on the table and scratches, trying to cover it up like it was in the sandbox? I suspect the chives are what set him off.


Moment of Lyric: (video link)

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footsteps dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterdays life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries Mary
The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags down stream
’cause the life that lived is,
Is dead
And the wind screams Mary
Uh-will the wind ever remember
The names it has blow in the past?
And with this crutch, it’s old age, and it’s wisdom
It whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary

8116 – Work, again? BOB SAGAT!

GeotargetI didn’t do much of anything this weekend. I didn’t put on shoes. I didn’t leave the third floor. I did clean house, laundry, etc.

Watched the heck out of the Kong DVDs… all the special edition stuff… Harryhausen’s test footage and the documentary on “the making of” was pretty dang impressive, and Harryhausen’s commentary was good on the movie disc, too. A lot of it was interpolated, due to the movie being over 70 years old.. just about everyone remotely involved in the project are long deceased. It worked out quite nicely, however, since the material hasn’t changed in that span,either.

8106 – Fairly newt-intensive post.

GeotargetSee what happens after I move away from Los Olas? They paint the whole area with free wifi. There were a ton of free hotspots to start with, but now it seems pretty constant. I’m just glad the main library has a big touchstone now…. students can bring their own appliances in and get data, rather than wait on the computer banks in the 3rd, fifth and ground floors. I can only imagine how much bittorrenting of pirated er, archival stuff over a big open network will happen.


I might get a chance to hang out with Dave Attell this week or next. More on that as it happens or doesn’t. He’s back on tour.


Hey, the whole run of the Flash tv show is out of DVD! all 21 episodes plus the 90 minute Pilot.

GeotargetUgh… Monday already? Monday work meeting and then a dog & pony for FDLE at 10.


Holy cow… why did I not know until yesterday that there was a live action Toei Spider-man TV show in Japan (Circa 1978), where he apparently had a neato motorcycle, instant change suit wristband (a-la the flash’s ring), could talk to spiders, and had control over a giant robot? I guess it makes sense, since he was a gadgeteer, (building webshooters and spidey-tracker, anyhow)… In Japan, I think that if you can wire up a tesla coil, you can have a giant robot. Spidey’s Opening Title on youtube -and a short but entertaining clip from the show… I need someone to translate either the Japanese, or the Spanish Subtitles. Graypumpkin, maybe? The Toei version looks a lot more entertaining than the lame American live-action version.

Toei spidey team up with machine gun mariachi – the awesome
Toei spidey – ninder scenes – uses webbing as a noose.

More video clips here – just search youtube for Toei Spiderman

From the same guy that has me singing the dang Iron Man theme again. (the cool 1966 version, not the longhair rock star 1996 one.)


Hey, there’s an Ambush Bug for Heroclix! A shame I really stopped playing a year or two ago. That’s the first one that would have me actively seeking it out (now if they got a Morrison Doom Patrol collection out, I’d be stoked, too)


Moment of Lyric: (Mp3)
There was a boy who knew he could be anything that he wanted to.
Everybody told him he had a singular special destiny.
Everybody said he’d go far–everybody said he’d be a star.
They said he could be anything he wanted to be–then he turned into me.
Now it seems increasingly unlikely that I’m gonna grow up to be Luke Skywalker–not gonna be Indiana Jones.
And after all this time it’s probably not gonna turn out that I’m the super-powered heir to a world that isn’t there anymore.
But somebody told me I was special.
Somebody told me that I could be anything I wanted to be.
How could they have known the dreams I had were not the dreams they had for me?
They said I could be what I wanted–they had no idea what I wanted.
And I don’t mean to seem ungrateful for all their encouragement and praise.
I just meant to say that I don’t intend to stay and spend another wasted year, cause at the end I bet I’d still be sitting here wasting time and waiting.
I’m waiting for my Lady of the Lake to come and crown me king.
I’m waiting for my rocket to land so I can get my power ring.
I’m waiting for my radioactive meteorite to fall.
I’m waiting but I ain’t got no meteorite at all.
I’m waiting for my story to begin.
I’m waiting for my/ I’m not done.
Don’t count me out of it–my story isn’t over yet.
I’m not the son of some roman god but anyway I think I’m gonna be okay.
And looking back I find it seems I’ve always had unlikely dreams but I can’t let that stop me now, it’s time to grow up anyhow.
And I may not be Hercules but here’s my new philosophy: buh buh bah buh buh bah buh bah buh buh
end of song.

8087 – Another success for us!

GeotargetWell, as a direct result of my calls, Tabitha Lively was recovered safely in Orlando. Pretty keen.. that makes 132 recoveries in the last 46 months that are a direct result of my gig here.

The US Marshalls were very cool to work with, and FDLE was really on the ball, too (as usual). The Marshalls are up there with the FBI as far as professionalism.

I’ve already been interviewed by 3 news agencies regarding the story, and the big kahuna is loving the media attention she’s getting… Maybe this will keep her sourpuss attitude to a minumum the rest of this week. I’m just glad that I wore one of my nice new shirts to work… I’ll be interested in seeing how many errors the different agencies make in reporting… so far, I’ve never, ever seen an article get everything right with a story that I was aware of outside of the news agency.

8084 – It’s not too hot for tea!

GeotargetCrazy Rag-tag night on call yesterday. I don’t think I had a moment’s peace between 5:30 and 8.

It got to the point where I was in a bit of a manic panic…laughing like a hyena once a job was pushed through.


I can’t believe my birthday is in less than a month. Didn’t I just have one? I think I’m going to treat myself to a massage at the Vicki’s sister’s spa. I’m far from a metrosexual, but I’ve got nothing against a serious back rub.


Moment of Lyric (quicktime movie) (here’s the band’s website)

Too hot for tea but I’ll drink it anyway,
It’s a nice day.
Too late for him, but I’ll take him anyway,
It’s a nice day.
Happy to be Alive…
Some believe in God,
Some worship the Devil,
Some go to church,
Others pray to the moon,
On a nice day
On a nice day
I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what they say
On a nah-nuh-nah-nuh-nah-nah-nee-nah-nah-nuhhh…
nah-nuh-nah-nuh-nah-nah-nee-nah-nah-nuhhh…

Mother on a thorn tree
It’s older and gray
asking her little girl to come back and stay
Politicians on the radio and TV today
Talking ’bout how great it is in the USA
On a nice day
I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what they say

On a nah-nuh-nah-nuh-nah-nah-nee-nah-nah-nuhhh…
nah-nuh-nah-nuh-nah-nah-nee-nah-nah-nuhhh…
It doesn’t matter if you’re going mad
It doesn’t matter if this place is so, so, sad.

On a nice day
On a nice day
On a nice day
On a nice day
I don’t care what they say
On a nice day
I don’t care what they say
On a nice day

Ha!

I first heard of them on the Bewitched movie soundtrack, of all things. Lounge music you can dance to, pretty groovy stuff. I think her accent makes it that much better.

I still say nice as NOICE, unless I make an active effort not to.

Speaking of music videos that are noice – take a peek at Night of Fire (google video wins again!) Stuff like this reminds me to make a point of visiting Japan someday. Some sort of Asian spice girl clonettes with a tubby wrestler guy in a speedo, little red booties and golden cape singing europop cover tunes and breathing flame. What’s not to like?

Taking Danny out for his B’Day today… I suspect it’ll be lunch, hanging out, maybe some pirates and possibly a mini-walkabout. I was thinking about getting him a fly pen computer, but instead opted for our old standby. (I dig the $100 laptop idea, too.)


Moment of Lyric – (flash video or mp3, video is superior, but mp3 is better for listening to on the road)

Old Godzilla was hopping around
Tokyo City like a big playground
when suddenly Batman burst from the shade
and hit Godzilla with a Bat-grenade
Godzilla got pissed and began to attack
but didn’t expect to be blocked by Shaq
who proceeded to open up a can of Shaq Fu
when Aaron Carter came out of the blue

and he started beating up Shaquille O’Neal
then they both got flattened by the Batmobile
but before it could make it back to the Batcave
Abraham Lincoln popped out of his grave
and took an AK47 out from under his hat
and blew Batman away with a rat-a-tat-tat
but he ran out of bullets and he ran away
because Optimus Prime came to save the day

this is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
this is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

Godzilla took a bite out of Optimus Prime
like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime
and then Shaq came back covered in a tire track
but Jackie Chan jumped out and landed on his back
and Batman was injured, and trying to get steady
when Abraham Lincoln came back with a machete
but suddenly something caught his leg and he tripped
Indiana Jones took him out with his whip

then he saw Godzilla sneaking up from behind
and he reached for his gun which he just couldn’t find
’cause Batman stole it and he shot and he missed
and Jackie Chan deflected it with his fist
then he jumped in the air and did a somersault
while Abraham Lincoln tried to pole vault
onto Optimus Prime, but they collided in the air
then they both got hit by a Care Bear Stare, oooh

this is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
this is the Ultimate Showdown…

angels sang out in immaculate chorus
down from the heavens descended Chuck Norris
who delivered a kick which could shatter bones
into the crotch of Indiana Jones
who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain
as Batman changed back into Bruce Wayne
but Chuck saw through his clever disguise
and he crushed Batman’s head in between his thighs

then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White and
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail”‘s Black Knight and
Benito Mussolini and The Blue Meanie and
Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie
Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader
Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan,
Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
all came out of nowhere lightning fast
and they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass
it was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw
with civilians looking on total awe

and the fight raged on for a century
many lives were claimed, but eventually
the champion stood, the rest saw their better:
Mr. Rogers in a bloodstained sweater

this is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
this is the Ultimate Showdown…
this is the Ultimate Showdown…
this is the Ultimate Showdown…
of Ultimate Destiny
