My brain hurts

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Rotating 4D hypercube. I’m out of the old apartment and have turned in my keys.  I am getting my whole deposit back – less the carpet cleaning – so I am really happy and I called Katie to split it with her because it simply wouldn’t have happened without her.  Now I have four evenings [...]

Aw gone

Monday, March 31st, 2008

So I’m out of the old place completely, and apart from swimming in a sea of crap – Jeff is being patient, because I know I have to disappear the crap before the party on Friday – I am feeling pretty good about it. My good feelings are grounded in three events of yesterday – [...]

Pinballs.

Hey Loki…. Can you snap a picture of Star Trek and Xenon for me?  I want to send it to io9.

Heave ho

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

I am still in shock about how much freaking junk I have.  I am so emotionally attached to my books that I’m sitting in the pile of boxes going, wah, wah instead of brutally tossing them.  I’ll be a lot happier when I’m done.  When I get rid of clothes I think “Off to Value [...]

So it’s not just me after all

I feel sick

Why should Americans take our garbage?  Wouldn’t it make more sense to deal with it ourselves?

Earliest recorded sound

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Chipper sent me this link which led straight to this link about the earliest recorded song.  I guess a smoky voice is an old old idea.

Yes, yet more moving

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Jeepers, you’d think moving a puny little two room apartment wouldn’t take the best part of two weeks, off and on, but Jeff and I hauled out two bags of trash, much recycling and two more boxes tonight (I FINALLY have my soap, my 15 bucks a bar hand milled French soap which represents my [...]

A moose, a moose!

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Teri – a person who uses tapioca for comfort food, by all accounts – has graciously presented me via her spouse with a moose.  Taken near Kicking Horse Pass last year.  And the Tapioca Song claims another vic-tim. Jeff was a busy lad yesterday.  There is now a chain of suitable size and robustness (frankly, [...]
