6584 Nice day out

Synced from the palm –

VS had a lunch meeting, so I dined alone today… wandered over to the Denny’s next door in a semi-stupor. I was rather drowsy and semi jet-laggy just as a result of all the assorted Nevada / Michigan, and now Ohio duties I’ve got to keep track of. My first visit inside that Denny’s… it seems wrong to eat at a place like that during normal daylight hours.

My mindset was that I was having an out of body experience, though I was still in my body. I was sort of vegging out… there was a feeling as if my life essence was inside me, but sort of swirling around like smoke, and not flowing through my veins and filling the flesh-vessel properly. My foot-stuff was in my liver, eyes in my knees, and so on. Some sort of mental stun. I was communicating fin, but there was a lack of focus… a fuzziness around the edges.

Happy Day! A shiny Maryland Quarter in my change! A good omen, and it served as a lens to bring my thoughts into focus and a spring into my step.

6582 I have chafed skin where my wings should be

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o

Rubbed against something the wrong way during the night or something…the area of my back near the shoulder blades has a pesky itch that could only be purged by a nice scalding shower.

It has me wondering what would come through that spot on my skin.. wings? How huge a span would I need to get off of the ground? I figure it’d have to be at least 45 feet or something… I’m over 6 feet tall and my bones are hardly hollow.

Somehow, I’d be more likely to expect Zim/Otto Octavious-style manipulators and extensor-legs.


It’s going to be tricky, avoiding all the chocolate next week.


Doing my annual viewing of the Ten Commandments, some of the best scenes (snake-staff, for one) were interrupted by news of Miami fires, possibly deliberately set. I hope no one was hurt, or lost homes as a result of those. I really think that they could’ve picked a better-named spokeswoman for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue than Vicki Burns. There was a haze off in the distance, but I couldn’t smell smoke from here.

Back to the movie… When I was a boy, I thought that the Hebrews leaving behind Moses should have had elephants, for some reason. Horses in Egypt always struck me as odd; I figured that they’d just use camels for everything, or oxen to pull the bigger things. I wonder now what camel meat tastes like… man eats ox all the time, and horse now and then… is camel considered a domestic food?
