Thanks so much to sweetalyssm for redoing the art and building the shockwave for my LJ! It looks great!

I love my little cave and Newtie by the signposts.. 🙂

I got a wonderful letter from the girl I love last night. To hold something physical for hers sealed with a kiss, filled me with so much happiness and joy I was literally stunned for a few moments, standing in front of the mailbox, just savoring it. I’ve already read and reread it about 10 times… I don’t think that she knows how deeply she can affect me. I sampled every aspect of the card, sniffing, analyzing the handwriting, the design on the front, the content of the words… I’m so in love with her that it blots out everything else, like the roar of the ocean during a hurricane. The correspondence means so much to me that I can’t fairly quantify it. This is the first physical gift, a wonderful treasure that I can keep by my side.. I held it close to my heart before going to sleep last night, to feel her embrace.

Thank you again, my beloved. You’ve brightened things so much with each thing that you do.

Argh… Yahoo has borg-ily assimilated egroups… suffering from some growing pains, too.. I can’t access the message database to review some developers tools that I use. bah!

Baaaaa! I always think of sheep after someone says Bah. 🙂

My LJ is changing.. It’s a good thing I know a smart and sweet flash programmer! 🙂 It’s looking better and better!

and, good night!

Took 97% of my personal stuff home form work tonight… I don’t want to have to make 2 trips when I leave.

How many of you folks could care less about the coming Superbowl? I like the name of the new Maryland team (The Ravens), and the aspect of the Norse combat between the two names.. (Odin’s Birds vs the Giants) but I’ve managed to completely not follow football for however long the season has run.

Digging JennyLee’s broadcast tonight.. Ornj & I thrust into a weird melange of past and contemporary times..

Thinking again of how much I love Ornj.. she’s so gear.

WOODSTOCK
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
by Joni Mitchel

Well I came across a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him tell where are you going
This he told me
Well I am going down to Yasgur’s farm
Going to join in a rock and roll band
Goin’ to get back to the land to set my soul free
We are stardust, we are golden
We are 2 billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
Well then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel like I’m a cog in something turning
And maybe it’s the time of year
Yes and maybe it’s the time of man
And I don’t know who I am
But life is for learning
We are stardust, we are golden
We are 2 billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.
We are stardust, we are golden
We are 2 billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

Lianna‘s gone… another casualty of the transience of LJ… but, I have her Vagg address, so she still gets a little heart-shaped smile. 🙂 I hope that where ever you go, happiness follows!

Glitterdyke pointed this out!

Pokemon name generator… 🙂

Name – Hypnomander

Profile
You live in the meadows of New York, and your diet consists mostly of grapes, donuts and tea.

Characteristics
(Combat and Non-combat)
You can swim in lava. You can eat Dr. Pepper. You can throw 8-track tapes. You have a fear of tahini. You can puke fire. You can eat maple syrup. You have a winning smile.

Natural Enemies
Your natural enemy is Berttung.

The food is pretty right, anyhow. 🙂 I rather like tahini, though. i’ve only puked fire once, after that pineapple/hot pepper chutney pizza.

Here I sit, contemplating a business proposition from one of my hippie-pals, Dave.

He wants me to go in partners with him on a venture. web-wise. My side would be ASP, database stuff, and his would be graphic design of a web site. My two reasons for giving pause are: 1- Working with a friend… I’ve seen a few friendships fall apart when put to the business litmus. I value my friendship with him much more than any business venture. 2- How much of my time will this take? Its going to be a profit-sharing thing, so no paychecks, just split rewards. I don’t want a present-tense non-income to interrupt my search for present time money influx.

I know that I’ll help him, at least. He’s a good one with art, but the programming side is more my speed… Maybe I’ll see if I can work on a consultation basis?

I still would like a good telecommunication gig.. Something to validate me getting DSL, and working in my boxers, kitten in lap. Anyone want to toss that job my way?

just heard – “Hold it right there, Whizzleteats!”

News for TMAN … Robert is Fired as of Friday. (I guess he’s not so lucky after all… we’re changing all the locks and alarm codes after letting him go, too. )
