Well, Newt didn’t mind the fireworks too much, yesterday, though when someone right out back started firing them off, he peered through the window, and Mer’d at each explosion. Fortunately there weren’t too many. *Pop* Mer? *Pop* Mer! *Pop* Mer! He’s been afraid of thunder when it’s right on top of the house, though.
I was going to go out to breakfast this morning, but decided it was nicer to just relax a bit and have a cup of instant General Foods International Coffee, Orange Cappuccino. Yummy, though I’m partial to the Swiss Mocha. I’m overdue for Coffee with Sappho and Ihop with Kev.
My daily spam between my regular mail and my registration mail is rather high, in my opinion. ~90 mails daily in the junk mail account, and about 70 in my regular mail, too. Filters work ok, but some things still fritter through. My bulk mail folder is especially large and I use a disposable addy whenever there’s a chance of it being harvested or traded. It’s not gotten too bad yet, but I might not feel the same way a bit more down the line. I’m wondering if perhaps I should consolidate my addys, and redistribute? I’ll concern myself more with it later on.
Danny spent a long time yesterday working on homework… he had to outline 4 chapters, and when I called him, he’s spent 2 hours outlining a 30 page first chapter. That seems too long to me, but I have no idea what the chapter contained. I figure that it’s a Danny-ism… making more work for himself than is needed. I’m amazed at his current Saturday Schedule… 8-hour cram class and then goes out with the wife for 3 hours dancing that night. He must be fried come Sunday. I’ll give him a call midday tomorrow and see how he’s surviving. He just had a pesky doctor’s visit, too… that can’t be helping matters.
Most of my nearest and dearest are needing repair in some way lately… Hip/back, hand, skin, legs… It seems most folks in my age group are starting to see the warrantee expire. Oh for a super-fixy bacta tank!
In other Star Wars nerdy News, while talking about bellybuttons, *someone* suggested mine was similar to a sarlacc, drawing in lint akin to Boba Fett with my yeti-hair acting as graspers. I’ll have the world know that my navel is generally lint-free.

Looks like weather station K4VAE was back online, but is down again. Bah.
There’s a guy building a castle out of old printing plates.
