Spoke with my sweetie tonight, and we had a grand time. very nice… we talked programing and voodoo, crossword puzzles and cartoons, and deep feelings. very fulfilling to me, and I think to her, too.

There are three lifeforms that I tell I love frequently, and I mean it more than words can convey.

All are Libras. 2/3 of them have red hair. 2/3 of them are male. 2/3 of them share my last name. 2/3 of them do not live with me. 2/3 of them I tell on a daily basis. 2/3 of them speak fluent English. All of them know how I feel. All of them reciprocate those feelings. I’m a very lucky person.

In the order that I met them… my brother, Newton, and my sweetheart. Each has brought special things into my life, changing it for the better. I like to think that I’ve helped their quality of life, too.

I ask anyone who reads this to tell someone they love that they do. It doesn’t matter if they know, tell ’em anyhow. They’ll appreciate it, and you’ll feel good for saying it.

Well, I’m up from my nap, and ready for lunch. I did a nice long meditation and relaxation before napping…I rarely sleep that long during the day.

Here’s some palm scribbles… It’s fun to doodle, even when my skills are lacking.

Actually, this isn’t too bad, considering the media and the artist. beard’s a little wacky. I forgot I had thinner brushes

visiting my sweetie during today’s nap…. astral travel is fun! note the silver cord connecting my bellybutton to my earthly form.

Naptime! Yay!

Foundation Health is the worst insurance I’ve ever had. I just had to pay $58 out of pocket because foundation doesn’t do refills on the same sort of meds more than once every month. I only got a week and a half’s worth, so when I went to refill, no dice. (On insurance, it’d have cost about $20). On my old insurance it’d have cost $5, and I wouldn’t have to deal with any time-span hubbub. If I had a doomsday machine, FH would be a molten heap of slag.

Fark ’em. I’m going to Blue Cross / Blue Shield, anyway. Just a warning to anyone that has it. *Change it*. The copay is cheaper on BC/BS, and they’re reliable. My doc also warned me against foundation the time before last.

One of my duties when I return to work is to get as many people to change off of FH. I’d love to get the whole company to switch. Spread the word for me, if you think of it. you’ll be helping out anyone who changes.

I wish I had a giant roman tub, big enough for two. I think that’ll be a purchase I make when I own my own place…. or an indoor jacuzzi. Something big enough to soak and float in some hot water, and to share with my sweetheart, too.

Dreams of owning a pet grooming store last night…weird, because I really have no interest in that as a career. Newt, Blackie, Zen and Kringle were models for the place in our ads…. with bows and painted nails. Totally sissy looks for such butch little boys., but I imagine they suffered through it for our cause. The place was very successful… I guess it’s because I’ve had critters on the brain lately. (The legion of superbabies, and all that).

Here’s an unusual proposal for archiving the collected works of mankind on what is, you must admit, a pretty enduring medium…I what sort of changes they would wreak? Certainly will last longer than any CD-Rom. Cockroaches. ew!

I love the answers on my server name poll!

The ones I least expected were and ‘s choices… clever!

via what do i know-

You can learn a lot about someone by the names they give their hard drives. This thread at Slashdot compiles some naming convention ideas you could use next time you reformat a hard drive or buy a new machine. Including…

some examples there are –

• The Seven Dwarfs (after 7, make your own dwarfs, like “Sleazy”) – or maybe the smurfs?
• Pop Stars (“Hey, Britney is down again. N-Sync has crashed.”)
• Retro Arcade Games (Blinky, Pinky…)
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (“Imagine walking into a room: Hey, can you check Syphylis? For some reason AIDS isn’t talking to it.”)
• Countries
• Comic Book Characters (I’ve actually done this one)
• Cast of Cheers (Norm, Dianne, Cliff…)
• Ice Cream Flavors
• Major International Cities
• Sexual Positions (“Hey, would you try DoggyStyle? I can’t get in.”)
• Greek Mythology (Zeus, Aphrodite, Hades, etc) (seen it done)
• Biblical Names (seen it done)
• Dead Rock Stars
• Monty Python characters

And my personal favorite there…

• “Things You Can Do To A Ball” (Punt, Kick, Slam, Spike, Dunk, Pop, Inflate)

One’s I’ve done are classic authors (poe, twain, emerson, etc), and a hive theme (queen bee, worker, drone1,drone2)

Maybe Super Apes!

Hey! Ultrababy-X! does anyone remember him? Super-Newtie does! I wonder if Lexie is ready to pass her membership in the legion of super-babies on to her younger sibling? A year ago, we mentioned that this baby can dig holes at an incredible rate and is destined to lead us to an underground utopia and a new age of enlightenment. Perhaps that’s why he is known to the children as Ultrababy X. I think he wants to recruit little Lexie into his legion of Superbabies.

How many people want to add an infant or cuddly pet to the legion? There is the Legion of Superbabies and the Legion reserve, comprised of Fuzzy babies, led by Newton. (Herschel, Buddy, and Buzzito are all honorary members…) How about the rest of you guys? any baby/pet piccies to add to the list of the Pee-wee crusaders?

a year ago, bigfoot was sighted.

Hmm… also, a year ago, gnomes on snailback were a project. I wonder where they’re at these days. 🙂

ski jump game!… very cool. thanks, !!

I did a wonderful triple, and then landed on my head, easily compressing my spine into a solid bone-mass about 1/8th its original length. ow.

I leap high into the sky
wings become anvils

I’m craving cadbury eggs, and chocolate bunnies filled with marshmallow cream. The tastes came to me last night in a dream… my dreams frequently cover all the senses, I remember smells and textures frequently. The pressure of someone sitting next to me on the bed, or her breath on my neck. good dreams. My heart’s a-flutter thinking of her scent of egyptian musk or lavender. Fantastic… I salivate a bit like pavlov’s dog contemplating it. I’m burning nag champa now, which soothes me to no end.

On another tack, I’m thinking about redoing my website again…I got off to a false start some months ago, before big brain kicked the bucket… I’m thinking of starting over from scratch, using CSS to do it all up right. I’ve seen some nifty design elemends here and there, and I can still keep it text-browse friendly. I don’t want it to look like the other gazillion pages out there… something to make it distinctly my own. Subtle, without all the freaky java bells & whistles, unless it serves a solid purpose, or is just on a page o’fun… I’d like to add a games page and maybe a poll / sketch of the day. I’ll have to consult my sweetie on design…she’s superior at color schemes and general artistry. The nice thing about CSS is that i can shift the look and feel of all pages at once, should I get antsy about a theme. I have a few ideas… a cave with petroglyphs to navigate around is one of the old ones, and maybe a sandy-beach background with images “drawn in the sand”. Now that I have the digicam, maybe a photorealistic set of icons, too. I really like mootpoint‘s new design (warning, a boat of popups), and sweetalyssm‘s casa’s layout (recently being swiped by some german camgirl) with the right-side menu are both examples of the sort of quality I’m looking to shift to from my website. No rush, in mind, really, but I’d like to add more content. As it stands, my page hasn’t really been shifted in a few years, save for the addition of my livejournal and blog. I don’t think I’ll use frames as much, though. More flash for those that can use it though. I’ve picked up quite a lot of handiness with it, though the folk I know are still a light year or two ahead of me yet.

There’s a good article about the late comedian Bill Hicks on Salon. (right after my complaining about salon’s content, no less, my complaint about reading it online is the pre-article ad.) I still have a link that’s a quote of his on my website… the rollercoaster comment on the bio page. Hicks was a terrific comic, as black and profane as anyone not quite at the receiving end of an instant lynch mob could be, but with a core of righteous anger and truth that made sense of his attitude. He was insulting and even cruel because his disgust and rage at the world he lived in was so deep and heartfelt, yet his hope for a better world was intense enough to compel him to change things the way he best knew how: on stage, in front of a microphone, grinding it out night after night. I used to be a bigger fan of him than I am now, much like how I feel about George Carlin. Hicks died before he could succumb to Carlin’s bitterness, but the element was there. I do admire the hope that poked through the cracks on Hicks.

Anyway, give it a read. The section towards the end about the differences between the U.S. and U.K. editions of a new biography on Hicks is especially amusing.

Ugh… three of my mail lists are going to be *huge* fat beasts… English Lit especially. I’m switching them over to digest form, before the machine gun of dozens to possibly hundreds of singles hit me. the weekend is the busiest time for most of them.

watching a fast-forwarded animation of the moonrise and moonset…It’s a new moon tonight, and it’s interesting to me how the sun and moonchase one another across the sky… they share very similar courses and speeds today and tornight, at least from my vantage point. A moonless night sky (be it lit up or not) is strange to me.

As a boy, it took me a while to grasp that the moon wasn’t a true opposite of the sun, not coming up at night after the sun went down, destined never to meet… (this was well before I learned about eclipses, mind you). Seeing the moon against a blue sky seemed wrong… like it was lost, or cheating somehow. to my kid-mind, I wondered if I was imagining it, or perhaps it was some sort of mirage or tricky cloud formation shaped like a perfect circle or crescent.

I still like sunrises that have “sundogs” over the ocean. I love sunsets over the ocean, but I’m on the wrong coast. Very romantic…I think of my sweetheart at the beach, holding hands whenevery I catch a painted sky.

The Universe is an amazing place! I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

here’s a piccie of a ringed sun with a sundog

Happy Birfday !!

Bored? Swing by my blog, and find out your supervillian name. 🙂 (or you can do it at the batman page at cartoon network.com) Requires flash. (case sensitive…bob does not equal Bob or BOB)

Newton = Scourge
Scotto = The Fiend, and El Oso = The Spoiler.

Found a fantastic comic book database for helping to search for almost anything… like the internet movie database for comics(you can also try this one). outstanding! Also the big cartoon database. Children’s Picture book database , science fiction, fantasy and horror book database, not to mention the library of congress again.

That’ll keep anyone busy for a week. 🙂
