9002 – tues

I’m feeling a little sick today – sore joints, sore throat, only on the right-hand side. Getting chills – I rarely get cold. (edit – I’m full blown destroyed. by the time I got home, I could barely walk or function. Severe fever, muscle aches. went to bed on arrival, and burned up all night)


Surprised that nobody commented on the video. I may start putting more in there, depending on what happens where.

Also forgot to post the giant sponge bob in the hay maze. He’s about 25 feet tall.


BHK spotted Cranium Triple Triumph at target – I wonder how hard it’d be to convert to icehouse? (Rules here) Maybe a variant, at least, using stacking and mono-colors.

She also brought home lots of fun loot for Halloween. Orange/mango candy corn, Dwight Schrute fridge magnets, and a cool back-lit pirate silhouette!


Yesterday was national punctuation day… flying blind let me know a bit late… I was fortunate to slip in an interrobang, but didn’t get to use some great marks that are non-standard, but highly useful –

asterism ( )
index/fist ( )
therefore sign ( )
lozenge ( )
interrobang ( )
irony mark ( ؟ )
reference mark ( )
sarcasm mark


The quiz that’s making the rounds… it looks like all the numbers are intact… or at least they’re in sequence. I wonder how many there were from the beginning?

1. Do you have a tattoo? Nope… not against ‘em, just haven’t thought of anything I want permanently on my body.

2. How old are you? 38, going on 39. Some days I feel much older, others, far younger.

3. Are you single or taken? I’m married, and quite taken with her.

4. Fish? I do like fishing… though I use it as an excuse to just let my mind wander and focus, rather than a means to eat. If I had to, I could survive with a net, line and hook. I wouldn’t want to, but could do it.

5. Do you dream in color? I certainly remember them in color… I also recall scents, textures and words spoken to me at different times. Whether or not that’s my mind filling in the blanks after the fact or not… well, I don’t know. Does it make a difference?

6. Ever seen a corpse? More than a few. In person, I’ve seen people in both deathbeds and coffins. Thankfully, usually they appeared to be inert and whole.

7. Hipsters or Hillbillies? I like ’em both, though I suspect that I’ll stereotype hipsters more rapidly.

8. How did we meet? most folks that are reading this have met me via LJ – I discovered livejournal via Ana Voog, over 7 years ago. I’ve reconnected with old friends, met new ones, and met my wonderful wife here. For all of it’s shortcomings, I’m quite thankful for livejournal.

9. What’s your philosophy on life and death? the former is too short, and the latter too long.

10. If you could do anything with me, and have no one know, what would it be? (this is the most hurtin’ internet question ever.) Depends. No matter who, I’d like to have good, clean fun and have everyone enjoy themselves.

11. Do you trust the police? As an institution, yes, for the most part. I believe that every group has good and bad people in it.

12. Do you like musicals? Depends on the music. I like a few, but I think the majority of them are pretty stinky.

13. What is your fondest memory of me? What’s my fave memory of me? (since I’m not really answering anyone else directly) Hard to say, but I really love all my time spent with BHK.

14. If you could change anything about yourself what would it be? The usual… magically in better health/shape.

15. Would you cheat ? Nope.

16. What are you wearing? Clothes, skin, fat, and hair.. .probably some assorted dust mites and germs, too.

17. Have you ever peed in a pool? Sure, I was 6 once.

18. Would you hide evidence for me if I asked you to? Talking to myself again, I’d probably go with I thought was the best move. Unlikely to incriminate myself by hiding stuff.

19. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? I’d spend as much time with BHK as possible.

20. Which do you prefer – short or long hair? I vary… I’m enjoying the short hair on me right now, as it’s more comfy and managable – on others, it depends on the situation. Some folks look great in long hair, others look better with a shaved head.

21. What’s your favorite day of the week? Saturday. Least responsibility, maximum fun.

22. What’s your favorite color? I tend towards Orange/Rust colors, but am also a fan of forest greens

23. If you could bring back anyone that has passed, who would it be? I’m not sure… whoever could make the most positive change in the world. (To my liking, of course)

24. Tell me one interesting/odd fact about you? What haven’t I mentioned in 7 years of keeping a journal… I tend to evaluate things from a slightly off-center mark at times. Rather than looking at a logo, I tend to see white space first (or the material a sign is made of) / the color second sort of thing.

25. What was your first impression of me? My first memory of self awareness is from 4th grade or so… I remember having a strange “moment of clarity” where my mental picture just sort of clicked into place – I became very aware of the shape of my hands and that wearing clothes had an actual sensation… I think that’s where I first started to dislike wearing socks.

26. Have you ever done drugs? plenty of legal ones… I’m very partial to some specific toxins – caffiene, sugar, salt and starches.

27. Will you post this so I can fill it out for you? Well, looks like I did!
