Just in case you haven’t heard, there’s been a massive recall of tainted beef. Here’s the thing–beef recalls are really difficult to do. The government can’t force the meat industry to recall beef, & usually by the time the meat industry issues the recall, the tainted meat has gotten pretty far out into the world. So, lay off the beef for a while (if you don’t already do so).

back from the film… not a bad little monster movie.
nicely done.
sparky the fire dog would’ve had a tough time.
Just home, and the rain begins to fall…. cannot resist the venus flytrap that is Newt and a freshly-linened bed!
Thoughts of her were with me everywhere today… I saw her smile this morning when I woke, and thought of her scent as I bathed… she does truly reside in my heart.
I think I’m going to go see the 4pm “reign of fire” with Dave after all.
Stop Drop and Roll. 😉 What could Sparky the fire dog do vs. dragons?
visit- public consumption
Had a nice visit with Dan this morning, while his Mrs. was at church… He taught me how to play the pokemon card game, which is cute… I beat him two games of three.. Orcs in the hood, we each won a game.
got home, and found a few messages on the machine… I suspect that my social day is over, though… I imagine that Dave has already headed to the movies or whatnot.
Dan’s house wasn’t so bad without A/C… we played on the porch with oscillating fans, and a storm front moved in.. nice cool air and dark clouds.
Protected: visit – protected to spare some
plans for this morning
Off to visit Dan, as soon as I get my hair brushed, and get some Newtie loves.
Watched a little SNL with my sweetie last night… laughed at gay Hitler on ice and botox.
Until this afternoon!
I’m going to go visit Danny again tomorrow while his wife is at church. Good deal all around…I’m going to have to rustle up a game to bring with me…usually we just chitty-chatty, but I figure he’d like a little strategic distraction, too… he’s getting a little punchy being stuck at the house for so long.
Playing cards, or maybe pocket chess. I wish I could find my brawl decks…it’s buried in one of the “unpack later” boxes.
I know! I think it’ll be a day for bitin’ off hedz , or orcs in the hood.
Looking forward to the visit, but not the location. Dan’s A/C is out. He’s got fans, but I’ll be getting out of the house just in time if I leave at about noonish. I should launch from here about 8am if I want to spend about three hours at his house.
I spent a little time working on the home page today… I think I have it sort of how I like it. A little more twisting and tweaking, and I’ll be happy, methinks. I have to hand draw more “signage” on my palm.
At some point, I’m going to have to dig up my ball cap, too… I’ve been getting a lot of sun lately, and don’t want to burn. I may have some of my sun block in the medicine cabinet, but I prefer not to use that stuff if a visor will do the trick…I don’t go in for the “war paint” look. (Well…not all the time, anyhow.) I’m a big wuss-boy about burns… I get SPF of at least 15, just in case.

Yes, Men can fill it out too…
eminem as “Rap Man” in Without me cracks me up.
I’m having very restless sleep tonight. Woke and slept off and on every other hour or so. Too scattered to read or really write. I’ll try again in a moment.
I was wondering… all good Vessels deserve a name… The Batmobile. The USS Enterprise… The Titanic.
synched my palm, and found some assorted doodles…
Pondering lunch while I was fasting

(picture stolen smallvic, who stole it from phineas who stole it from jima. I don’t want to know what Jima was doing when he found this)
Hearing my sweetheart laugh is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
Fox’s “hidden camera” show is fantastic, too by the way.. if anything, it’s too short. They need to put on two-hour specials.
Relaxing now, unwinding before heading off to sleep.
Puttering around the web…
Licensed variants of Monopoly. In Monopoly, you buy properties and then charge people increasingly exorbitant amounts of money when they stay there. As board games go, it’s a workable metaphor. It doesn’t apply to everything though. I mean, you can’t build a hotel on Bulbasaur. It just doesn’t work.
True porn clerk stories… I wonder if christin can relate? This is an utterly fascinating journal about working in a porn shop. The author stays away from the usual “my wacky job” clichés, and instead writes with great humor and insight about not only the unusual customers and politics of renting porn, but also about the effects on herself, and how the experience has changed her. It’s a long set of entries, all remarkable and entertaining.
The Ace Doubles Paperback Image Library – ignore the ugly website design and savor the art of cheezy vintage paperbacks. Great illustrations, nifty titles, breathless story descriptions, crazy hand lettering … it’s all there.
nighty-night dear journal.
Random Scotto factoid – I don’t like to use two deodorants at the same time, if they’re different brands.
If I run out of right guard, in the middle of one pit, I’ll wash it again, before applying arid extra dry. Some sort of irrational fear of mixing the chemicals, like mixing bleach and dishwashing detergents, even though I don’t think either can contains ammonia or mild acids. a secondary concern is having the scents mixed. Mind you, I don’t mind having cologne and deodorant on at the same time (he says, applying patchouli)
Also, this is an excuse to try out my “Newton through the wheel of time” icon… photos cycle backwards over three apartments, from the year 2002 back to 2000. (I should apply some baby piccies at the very end.)
Well, off to work for real, now. *Waves bye-bye*
I dreamt last night that I was spelunking, and found a big, open cave with an underground river, full of blind, albino/transparent crayfish. I was up with the sun this morning…and opted to run around the house with Newtie in the A/C rather than riding up to the beach…so sue me. 🙂 I like to play with the baby, y’know.
Note to self… need more cat-sand and cat-food by Saturday night.
Holding off on the epidural for a while… that’s a good thing. My back is Jim-dandy right now, anyhow.
N Arr… I be a pi-r8. N With me faithful orange-parrot-cat I be a downloadin’ like a fool, I be. got some spiffy new toys to investigate… most of it flashy-stuff, just to teach myself more when I get more time. I also have a good line on a new plot for a short story, I think.
Ooh… the anagram server is nifty. scottobear can be rearranged quite a few ways, with a minimum of effort. I especially like “Boca’s Otter”, “Tote Cobras”, “Cat Booster”, “Taboo Crest” and “Reboot Scat”
Well, off to the showers… then to work! Be home tonight, dear journal.
