Nice phone time with MM. I’m looking increasingly forward to the top of July… it’ll be here before I know it! I hope Newtie’s on better behavior than he was with Kev. I may be heading to Dragon*Con at the top of September this year, too, if everything works out as well as I hope.
Bad Phone time with Bro. looking to mooch – asked about places to sell plasma.. I don’t sell it, I donate it. wanted to drive me around for gas money… I told him it’d cost him more in gas to drive his truck up here. He needs to just get the heck out of Hollywood.. every time he goes there, he goes back into his old patterns.

Leave your name and:
1. I’ll respond with something random about you
2. I’ll challenge you to try something
3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on yours
Okay, 8 is totally optional.
Added Bonus, Sedef will be in town in September, and hopefully the Weezle, too!!
Glad I waited on watching last week’s Dr Who with this week’s…. a two parter. Quite well done, too. Hooray for Zeppelins, Parallel Earths and Cybermen! (The Term “Maximum deletion” is rather silly, though.)
I’m going to give Tarpo’s scavenger hunt a try next weekend. (I’d prefer to be going to Balticon, but that doesn’t look likely, with work and such… My boy EN is off to Idahos, so I’ve got to snag his shifts if I can’t fob them off on anyone else.)
Moment of Lyric – mp3
Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She’s a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She’ll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they’ll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!
Well she’ll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she’ll stick ’em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is… Oh tell me where can she be?
Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu…!
Well she glides around the globe and she’ll flimflam every nation,
She’s a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary’s loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Ah, my idea for a coffee bomb has been reproduced in nature. Those Wolfgang Puck self-heating lattes are being recalled. Sometimes they catch fire, explode, and/or dump the heating chemicals into the coffee itself. It seems one can in five is bad.
