7435 – FRIDAY! AT EFFIN’ LAST!
Good thoughts for Whims and her family right now.
Bro visited mom at work, was looking sharp. Clean, short-sleeved shirt, solid mindset, has a gig telemarketing. It was good for her to see him in decent shape for a change.
I want to sleep the whole weekend away. Just float in limbo, comfortably. Talk to some good friends, relax with the Newtie-boy. Maybe toss in a loaf or two of fresh baked bread and honey.
Got a free lunch donated to us at work yesterday… Lenny’s gave the company a platter of three big ol’ subs. Italian, Turkey and Veggie. I can dig a free lunch… ECN also gave me a bag of M&Ms for dessert.
I got to talk to MP for about a minute yesterday. It was nice, but far too short.
Looks like tropical storm Arlene is going to miss South Florida. – Rainy Weekend here.

Bro called yesterday morning, and was very thankful for the bailout.
Monkey with a Popsicle, compliments of beaucoupkevin and Alice.
Sour apes: A monkey bites into a lemon Popsicle on a sweltering day at China’s Tianjin Zoo.
You know what they say… *Monkeys, shown here eating Popsicles, are aware of injustice.* (scroll to article near bottom)
When I got home last night, they were tearing down the little 2-bedroom house in my backyard. That’s a shame… I think that little building had been there since the 1930s or before. Cute little Key West-style place done in white with navy blue trim. I can now look out my bedroom window and see two streets over.
I rather think that I preferred the cozy sense of privacy that I had before, but we’ll see if I change my mind over the next couple of days. I wonder how this’ll effect security and flyby factor for the next major storm?
The street lamp bleeds a little mor [brief visit from Newt-foot on keyboard – /././../] e illumination over now.
Newt was watching the earthmover equipment with fascination…I wonder what he thought they were, from his point of view? I suspect he was more interested in the noise that they were making than anything else.
I didn’t even know the guy in the house had moved out. My brother used to hang out with the tenant’s son, a bodybuilder guy that eventually went to jail for some sort of assault / battery charge on a cop.
I have to remember to let GrayPumpkin see this.
Shatner does Se7en : Soon after the movie Seven came out, the MTV Movie Awards got William Shatner to do this parody. He plays the lead roles as each of his more famous characters: Captain Kirk, TJ Hooker, and himself as the host of Rescue 911. Includes a guest appearance by Carmen Electra as an alien.
Moment of Lyric: (mp3) (I wish I could remember where I found this)
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an Emperor – that’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone, if possible – Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another; human beings are like that. We all want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful.
But we have lost the way.

7430 – Humpty-hump
So, now I have 100 user pictures available now. I’ll just repopulate with all my old saved ones. The only one I can’t seem to find is Papa Smurf from the old days, which is easily recreated. I also tossed a couple of stock one found in my travels that struck my fancy. (Zombie Robin, Zim and the pig, Ewok Love, and the meow cats.) I made a couple of others too, that I’d been meaning to resize.
I currently use about five with regularity, depending on the primary topic of what I’m writing about and the remaining are all silly-filler. Maybe I should make a theme out of a few, like 20 or so?
Got a lovely phone call from MP yesterday.. that took the edge off nicely.
1. Copy and paste this into your journal:
< *font color="yourusername"> < *b>yourusername< */b>< */font>
2. Eliminate the asterisks.
3. Replace “yourusername” with your user name.
4. See what color you are.

For posterity, a current picture of me, that makes me look a bit like Rocket Red 4 out of uniform. My widow’s peak seems quite amplified, too.
Using Newtcam for a non-newt pic!

Moment of Lyric – mp3
I heard you on the wireless back in ’52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through
Oh-a oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

I would like one of these.
Got sort of hot in the morning meeting yesterday. BK went off sort of half-cocked, and burned RI’s biscuits. A lot of angry folks afterwards, and the meeting was a pressure cooker for the gang from 8:30-noon. I’m glad I bug out early. If BK’s not careful, she’s going to burn the wrong bridges just by not following a proper path of communications.

Early one Sunday morning, Jesus came into my room.
Woke me up and said, we’re gonna have a run!
I jumped, out of my bed,
Put on my Jogging shoes,
My wife, she woke up,
Said, What are we gonna do?
And I told her (told her)
Jogging (jogging)
for Jesus (for Jesus)
Oh, yes I am now.
Great & funky.
Florida judges are tossing out DUI cases when defendants ask to see the source code for the breathalysers that busted them — the manufacturers won’t turn over the source, and since the machine’s correct operation is critical to establishing the case against the DUIers, the case is dismissed when it can’t be produced.
All four of Seminole County’s criminal judges have been using a standard that if a DUI defendant asks for a key piece of information about how the machine works – its software source code, for instance – and the state cannot provide it, the breath test is rejected, the Orlando Sentinel reported Wednesday…
Seminole judges have been following the lead of county Judge Donald Marblestone, who in January ruled that although the information may be a trade secret and controlled by a private contractor, defendants are entitled to it.

The Way Outs are an English rock group that are mistaken for aliens. Although it was a radio prank, The Way Outs may actually be aliens. They have bodies consisting of four rings that can completely disconnect with nothing in between to hold them together. From the episode “Masquerade Party”.
And a-one and a-two!
There’s a place where I can go
And that’s where I wanna be
I’m sayin’ good-bye to you, good people,
For I’ve found a place for me!
(Yeah yeah yeaaaaaaah…)
Gonna go way out…WAY OUT!
That’s where the fun is, way out…WAY OUT!
That’s where the sun is, way out…
WAY OUT!
Where I wanna be,
For there’s a place for me-e-EEE!

Organization of American States – 35th meeting taking place right up the street from work. It’s going to play heck with traffic, and a lot of security hubbub as a result. More info here.
I wonder if anything of significance will take place there? Some interesting milestones in the past. Lots of protesters out and about… Bush’ll be there about 11am today.
I’ve been learning a lot more of my South American history, with a focus on Colombia lately, for obvious reasons. Previously, I knew more about Brazil, mostly due to Wilton, Sabrina and the dense Brazilian community down here.
Some Web logs in my neighborhood. This one is about 7 blocks from my place.
Monday morning meeting in a couple of hours. I try to find something positive in it, and it’s usually such a drag! Lots to do this week. – Quarterly hubbub again, already.
I’m glad to see a trend of burlesque making a comeback.
Yesterday’s wet dried up about 9am, and became a beautiful day! I hope that the run for the bus is dry this morning.
I forgot until just now that I look more like Silent Bob than Jesus when I have a full beard.

Truth be told, I usually wear a ball cap brim-front.
