It's always the last place you look. I got a bead on my direction from sun-reckonning. I found the hatchway and ladder down out of my skull, to use a sensor-inspired metaphor. I feel solid, now, again, a bit more energized and confident than I did this morning. It's strange how the emotional states change with time and stimulus. It was beautiful ( Read more... )

Dissociated Press: Dateline 03-23-2011

Birthday authorities are combing the woods of eastern Ohio tonight in search of a man accused of dodging his natal anniversary celebrations. Due to the festival desertion an unextinguished fire blanketed several eastern Ohio counties in clouds of waxy birthday candle smoke. The suspect, who goes by the name prolixfootle ( Read more... )

8:00 PM
There is so much going on here today. Jackie's water broke this morning. I got a call at work from Crystal this morning. Jackie went to the birthing center a couple of hours later. As of 8:00 PM here, I still haven't heard much more. I've talked to Shannon on the phone a couple of times but she doesn't know much in the way of specifics ( Read more... )

Random thoughts, or as my friend eithnepdb might say, "Tiny Notes" from the smallest meeting possible:

• If I could bottle that, I'd be rich.
• Sometimes, contra the Klingon proverb, revenge is better served piping hot.
• Canary feathers: best attacked with toothpick, rotary brush, or floss?
• I hold with those who favor fire.
• Ooh, in between the dark and the light.

Sometimes I wonder about the sexes and how they interact. Us guys, we can be pretty oblivious, sometimes, and sometimes it does seem that we are focused deeply upon just one thing. Of course this exasperates women too, sometimes, unless they happen to be deeply interested in "that one thing" at the moment themselves. All of that is quite ( Read more... )

Just for a lark, I logged onto Friendster this evening. I was browsing around and I popped over to visit the page of my friend Will. I've known Will since he was about four and I was enterting kindergarten. He lived up the street from me. He's a special effects artist in Hollywood now. I was surprised to discover that he'd posted an old ( Read more... )

It's been a short week. I had Monday off for the Independence Holiday. It was a really warm day today. Fortunately, it was cooler today than it has been earlier in the week. It's cracked triple Fahrenheit digits earlier in the week. I'm also fortunate in that I work in Alameda, where the temperatures average about 20 Fahrenheit degrees cooler ( Read more... )

Heh heh. I'm sitting here at work having a KFOG 10@10 flashback. Ack, but I love that show. They're playing KC and the Sunshine Band's "That's The Way I Like It". Augh! It's a groove attack. I haven't heard that one in ages. Help, it's disco kyrptonite. Damn but I like that song.

Now I feel like shadorunr, posting morning groove tracks. Heh heh.

This is a security class five birthday announcement ( Read more... )

Today is the birthday of the brilliant, cogent, and wonderfully entertaining emmabovary. Since she was gracious enough to be born on such a fine spring day, I think everyone who reads this should head over to her page and bombard her with birthday greetings. Remember, if we don't show that we appreciate her she's liable to just abandon LJ for a lucrative ( Read more... )
