It is over

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

The first 3 seasons of NCIS are done.  Hiatus I and II sucked wind at a hundred p.s.i., but maybe I’m just mad because they never filmed a dream sequence of Mark Harmon and Michael Weatherly getting it on.  I mean, three seasons in, and Whedon would have done it, but I guess Bellisario is [...]

I’d like to see the lens wipers on this puppy

你好! If the above noted is garbage, my apologies, but I just inserted ni hao, which is hello in Mandarin (literal translation.. you good?) Took me forever to find the right characters.  Just playing around, can’t really start the laundry until later….

Katie K

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

FINALLY – after literally months – I got together with Katie K in her ‘impressively staged’ condo.  Why, when I recollect what it looked like the last time I was there…. okay, maybe I’d better rephrase that.  There is virtually nothing in the condo.  I mean, a hotel suite has more furniture in it.  The [...]

Robof9 sends me a virtual octopus chandelier

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Isn’t it sweet? Don’t quite like the colours but I’m all over the design. Mike, Jeff and I hung out for a bit last night and we saw a Robot Chicken I had never seen before.  There’s this one blackout of Chewbacca imitating the Fonz which was cherce.  Then some more Futurama (the alternate universe [...]

Marijuana for behaviour management in autism???? I keep wanting to say, Now I’ve heard everything, and the internet keeps kicking my sorry ass.

My experiences with certain young people and the young couple formerly downstairs have me in the middle of writing a song.  This will be an ‘anti love song’. Picture 50′s / 60′s doowop. Young dumb and crazy Young dumb and crazy You can’t be serious Love makes us delirious We have trouble with bound’ries; we [...]

After my exalted state yesterday, OF COURSE I don’t get to keep it.  Instead, here it is 6:30 in the morning and raining comme un batard (I think I’m missing a circonflex in there) and I’m feeling ill and sad, because I just accidentally read somebody else’s correspondence on my computer.  I was looking for [...]

I present Dr. Filk and Lady Miss Banjola.  Don’t they clean up nice?

Okay, so me and Mr. Music got together last night and started messing with this ‘thing’ I have in my mind.  I’ve wanted to write a musical since I was in my teens, and his self-appointed job is to fix me with his kindly yet piercing gaze and say, “So nu? you going to write [...]

No more mystery meat for me

Bleargh! Thanks Cousin Gerald, I think.

Marcus Aurelius

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Chipper sent this link to me under the rather cryptic header “Big Head”.  Marcus Aurelius was a great writer and his contribution to the philosophy of Stoicism should not be forgotten. Here’s a link to the Meditations. I’m off to see Music Man tonight.  I am starting to think about writing a musical and rather [...]

I’ll always have his example – Richard Dawkins + email = haw haw

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I know I shouldn’t have mocked the religious, but this will be my bulwark when the crap starts to fly.  Watch Richard Dawkins read and respond to some of his hatefilled email.

Quiet evening

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Paul brought some more of that awesome chard, leftover pork roast (yum!) and a very nice cuke from the downstairs neighbour’s garden.  We all had ourselves a little feast and watched some NCIS (he was not previously familiar with it but fortunately the story arc is such that you can watch single episodes without getting [...]

Dang! I should never post without checking my email

Uber-cousin Alex has forwarded yet another cute pic of her jet-setting offspring, Darwin. Here he is lounging by a pool in Switzerland them there furrin’ parts. As corrected, France.  Hey, I’m flying to the north end of France in November.  I’ll be doing my own little war re-creation, slogging through the rain.
