About 45 minutes ago, work called and woke me up - the two machines in accounting are not talking to each other for some reason - some sort of sharing issue.

If they can't get it to work, I may have to take the 90-minute commute all the way down there to spend two minutes reestablishing a network connection. That'd be quite annoying. We'll see if I can walk them through it.

[edit - Ah, thank goodness. 10:49am, and I didn't have to cruise all the way down there. back on track]

Ghosts, bird flu, more giraffes, hellhounds, skulls, many stickers


Skaters at the Broward County Library. I have quite a few of these.. could make an animated icon, perhaps.

I've got some good thoughts to buoy me through Monday Meeting!

Every day is a new challenge, but I've got some good ammo to combat most challenges that come my way lately.

Going to play Pirates with Danny after work today, if all goes well. My Sea monster, Spanish Fort and Ships vs his Brits and Pirates. Yarr!

Moment of Lyric - via He's a Whore

( ... )

Don't try tell me that you're not aware
Of what you're doing and that you don't care
You say that it's easy, just a natural thing
Like playing music that you've never seen

Ooh-hoo, Jackie Blue
Making wishes that never come true
Going places where you've never been
Ooh, Jackie, you've blown it again

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.

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.)

Hooray for fast-apply sticker graffiti!

why does he keep looking to the right?

Awww... Cute Graffiti! :D

Well, I went for a walk on the gamma testing range, but I didn't bring my Uru walking stick.

2nd Batch of allergy shots, and then platelets. I have to see if I can still donate today after the shot.

What sinister plan is lurking behind those eyes?
