Nibbling on edamame, finished my book, and figured I’d putter back at the ‘puter for a bit.

Earlier, (when I was in the shower, having a shampoo) I daydreamed a bit about getting a tattoo… it was nothing more than a fleeting thought, and it led to pondering about something that recurs in my mind here and again, the good-ol’ forehead tattoo. I started thinking about a society that required everyone to choose a tattoo of a simple design, to be placed on the face where everyone could see it. Why? I don’t know. But the symbol had to be right in the middle of the forehead and of a large size… say, as big as the outside circumference of the person’s thumb and pointer finger can make, give or take… the ink in sharp contrast with the skin, so that it’s visible at a good distance, and the line’s thickness at least that of a laundry marker.

So, I haven’t posted a poll in a long time. Of course, feel free to fill in the comments if you’d like to add more detail or can’t operate the poll as a non-LJer.

Here comes the sun… Dawn’s breaking, and I’m wide awake. I got a missing call at about 3am this morning, and haven’t been back to bed yet. I’ll take a little nap midday to catch up.

I wonder how much Santa got paid to be in the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade. pretty good gig, ride on a car, wave and take home a paycheck. Is he the same Santa’s helper that works at the Macy’s store and gets all the little kids to sit in his lap for pictures?

I’ve discovered the spiffy-keeness of the file sharing system known as DC++. I’m *really* impressed with the stuff that’s out there, far better than kazaa or winmx. I’ve found pdf files, video and whackadoo music that I’ve never been able to locate otherwise.

I don’t think that I’ll be too keen on the new Battlestar Galactica. I don’t mind the gender change of Starbuck and Boomer, though I find it to be wacky, and even a little typical of the current genre… but also a “Cylon” character that’s played by Victoria’s Secret model named “Number Six” that likes to straddle and hump Baltar or whoever… eh. I’ll look into it if someone that I trust sees it and tells me “You’ve got to see it!” SciFi hasn’t done a lot of solid work in my opinion.. but a few gems have shined out here and there. I actually liked the version of Dune that they put together. As a kid I liked BG ok, but to be honest, it wasn’t a great show to start with, in my opinion. The episodes hold a lot more childhood nostalgia for me rather than great storytelling.

Time traveling monkey ninjas, and Michael Dorn as Rufus 3000. Now there’s a show.The Kim Possible Movie was very keen. Nicely Done, Disney. (And Ron’s lines are perfect miniMAX commentary.) I look forward to grabbing it off the net. (though I’ve grabbed it with the vcr… handy-dandy back-to back runs made it easy to preview, and then record.
