(I just added that to my ever growing and very messy bio page) I’m not sure if I want to put the links on my journal itself, though it’d be much more convenient for folks that visit to spot it that way. Cool thing is that on many of the translatins, you can hover over words and see the English/other language translation.

Two new items added to eBay –

Coral Ridge Country Club Golf Foursome (Coral Ridge Country Club) and a One Month Fitness Spa Membership (Jupiter Fitness center)

Hopefully these will win ACIM some nice funds….I wonder if the foursome isn’t too pricey an item for a local deal, but we’ll see! I’ll have to get CS to edit the copy… he didn’t run it through a spell check. Otherwise, they look quite nice.

Del Monte’s canned sweet peas (no salt) are far better quality-wise than Green Giant.

An 80-year-old woman used a ceremonial sword to fight off two six-foot raiders who burst into her home.

Ah, lovely. Back from this morning’s PT, which was just a glorified deep tissue massage, and that’s just fine by me. Afterward, I arrived home to find a package from Bahrain that needed shuttling northwards, and my check came in, so it was off to the bank for a deposit and the PO next door to launch goodies. Thanks, Oneeyed and Sedef! I’m sure the goodies will be well recieved. 🙂

Since I was in the neighborhood, I stopped in at Twistyland, just to nose around, and ended up grabbing a copy of Essential Ant-Man to add to my growing collection of that set. Not too shabby, the guy gave it to me for $10, though they normally discount it to $12. Plus, he threw in some atomic fireballs, and invited me to bring my MK armies down and play. So, huzzah!

As I type this, Danny’s students are playing the first solid game at the school. I hope that they’re having a great time, and look forward to hearing a full report when he gets home.

I’ve been getting a lot of hits from around the world lately… I really like seeing where the little connections go. breakdown

I have to schedule the techs for calls during the coming Christmas and New Years holiday. I’m not sure who I want to assign… I figure I’ll take one, and one will go to CS. I wonder which day will be busiest… I’d rather take the thicker day, and let him deal with the lighter, until he and I are both more confident in his skills.

Spent a long and wonderful time at the Institute of Official Cheer. The yearly Thanksgiving perusal of scary food from yesteryear, as well as other vintage weirdness had me in stitches for hours. Between the classic photos and commentary, I don’t know how anyone can’t get enjoyment out of the place.

Gollum Rap – I may’ve linked to this before, but it’s making the rounds, and I figure I’ll toss it up here for at least Danny and his Class to see. Ugh, I confused Oghor-hai with Olog-hai and Uruk-hai. What kind of Tolkien fan am I? A confused one, is all. Thank goodness for the Encyclopedia of Arda. (I’m considering a run of my “super-site-siphon” on it, just so I can have a local copy for the future.)

In local news, I’d like to try this out, but I don’ t know if I can get a teammate or two to come along:

ART SCAVENGER HUNT

The pursuit of art often ends with the pursuer finding something he would like to buy but can’t because his money has already been spent on rent, car payments and other pricey necessities. Money is no object, however, at this third annual search along the streets and cubbyholes of Himmarshee Village, where aesthetes will keep the art they find and not have to pay for it. Presented by artist Steve Sticht, the hunt begins at Tavern 213 with maps being handed out to each contestant. From there, follow the clues to works by Sticht, Juliana Forero, Francesco LoCastro, Skot Olsen, Pablo Serrano, Jill Weisberg and many more. Scavengers are limited to two pieces, which, once found, are to be taken back to Tavern 213, where the artists will sign them. Also, participants may need tools to obtain the art, some of which is fragile.

Location: Tavern 213, 213 S.W. Second St., Fort Lauderdale

Time: 8 p.m. Saturday, 11/29/03

Cost: Free

Contact: 954/463-6213

Anyone want to come?

Note to self, maybe during the above, check out Disassociated Books, a tiny shop tucked between an adult video store and a tattoo parlor (Babylon) south of Searstown on Federal Highway. I’ve been hearing good things about it.
