Today, I must be responsible.

I need to get off my keister, gather up the manuscripts and goodies, and head on down to the post office. Then, I need to get a few things needed for around the house.

Lazy feeling day today… probably because there’s work to be done. Be back later on.

oh! and Tom Tomorrow has a journal…

Well, Midnight’s approaching, and we all know which is the time that the dead rise from the grave to feast on flesh and month-old miracle whip.

from To Mock a Killing Bird –

As Freddie the falcon flew home with his belly empty again he heard the other falcons taunt him with “You couldn’t catch a mouse if it was blind!” and “Ha, you call yourself a raptor!” and worst of all, “Put some nail polish on your talons, sissy boy!”

Time for Scotto to go to bed… busy daytomorrow! Sweet dreams to any and all.

want to see some pictures from my day today? You can click on the thumbnails to see them get bigger. 🙂

Danny and I went out to Breakfast, Costco, Dave & Busters, and Whispering Pines Cemetary. The Cemetary is recent… no real sense of history, but still lovely as far as a boneyard goes. many fountains, carvings, mausoleums and tombs of current day. I’ll upload more later….I want to play with sepias, black and white… filter-boy. I want to work out how simplifies some of his shots so beautifully.

Who goes there? – Big Newt Pic

Walkies went fine, little time to trim and tweak the pictures, but more will be forthcoming later upon my return.

I dreamed I saw myself shaving in the mirror last night, and I seem to remember being older. There was a fire-barrel outside, and I am sure I recall the strong scent of cedar wood burning. I was in a similar bathroom to my own, but I feel that it was more North.

Sitting tight now, watching the tube, waiting for Danny to get here. I expect he’ll be along in another 20 minutes or so. He’s running late, because he was up until 2am grading papers.

Following the war, Patton was questioned about the “push button bombs” and the technological advances made in weaponry. He declares adamantly that there is no glory, no heroes, and no cowards in that kind of battle. He expresses thanks that he wouldn’t live to see that kind of warfare. You know… we still haven’t gotten to that point yet, and I’m glad. A war is an awful enough thing without removing the last vestige of humanity from it.

Behold! it’s Mr Mole, the happy drilling machine.

My brother came by tonight as a surprise visit! (he was interviewing up her for a job, and missed the last bus home…. rode his bike a few miles to here.) We got to gab for a bit before his taxi arrived. It’s a shame he’s allergic to Newt, as the cat loves him to pieces… loves to snuggle up to him, and headbutt. I’m really looking forward to getting together with him on Wednesday… we’re going to have a good time.

Tomorrow… Dan. Morning. bright and early, about 9 am, everyone else is in bedski, so I think I’m going to grab a nice book, and curl up into the beddles.

Tax tip for writers: This could save you a bundle. Since the IRS allows you to deduct expenses incurred while writing a book, make your next one an autobiographical novel. By all rights, you should be able to deduct your living, travel, and entertainment expenses going right back to the day of your birth.

Well, isn’t that just precious. A dried-out, long-dead alligator, all dressed up like the belle of the ball.
She’s all set to offer her hand in marriage to a dashing suitor. That is, if she had hands, and not just stumps.

I hope there’s an afterlife, so that this alligator can have a long discussion with whoever did this to her mortal remains.

Bob Ross has a baby squirrel named peapod in his pocket today…

Watching him paint on PBS is very soothing. has a calm voice, and gentle demeanor. they’re showing him feeding a Peapod, wrapped in a towel. such a cool guy.

He’s the sort of guy that I could see hanging out near the beach, drawing a crowd of kids and their keepers, and just teaching there. so much patience and peace. Talking about a place he’s painting… making up a story, and forming an image in his mind… making up stories about the world, happy trees and little cabins with open windows (the builder having a toddy or two on the job, speaking with a smirk).

It makes me happy to know that folks like him exist. I can think of maybe a pair of folks I know in person like that… I wish that there were more, but I’m happy to have the ones I do.

Ok…Sunday. A new week has begun.

Tenative plan for the week –

Thursday, big trip to the keys? Disney? Maybe. cheap air/bus fares. will know more by tuesday.
Friday, Rest, slack time. (rent paying day) Perhaps go see monsters inc?
Saturday – Birthday! Ratdog is in concert at the ampitheatre… maybe open the windows, and tune in.

Walkies were not too shabby this morning…sun was high in the sky and the air was breezy. I went to the groves, but they don’t open until 9… so a-home I went. I’ve spent most of the last hour or two cat-wrestling and reading before breakfast.

These guys aren’t kidding about the best orange juice.. .crazy good. 🙂

Dexter at the office… he dares to Challenge Newton’s throne as Cutest Quadruped at FMM! Since I couldn’t bring Newt in on Friday, here are some piccies of him playing in my laundry basket this morning.

Nice Try, Dex, but Newtie’s still got my vote. (I may be biased… I’m Newt’s mom, after all)

Newt loves hanging out in my laundry… silly tunnelling kitty. note in the background… godzilla slipper in the closet, wrapping paper (comic books), the yellow is a bus schedule, and a headset with mic (mic is dead thanks to *someone* chewing on the cord..but the earphones work well) on the floor in front of Newt, and the top of my CPAP device in the forground, along with my dresser. (image taken from my bed) also in the closet, you may be able to make out a flashlight, a few old storage boxes, hanging shirts, and a box of kitty litter.

Profile Shot… he looks like a hood ornament, or a periscope to me.

feel free to tell me if these are ruining your friend’s page’s size.

I picked up a bag grocery shopping of these…

Yummy! I highly reccomend ’em, even though the marketing campaign is like says… “MUY ETHNIC”.

another benefit of living in South Florida… a yummy Hispanic range of tastes abound. 🙂
