8389 – Saturday. similar feeling as last weekend this time.

June 3, 2006 scottobear Leave a comment

Watched Iron Giant last night, for the first time in a few years. Still as excellent as I recalled. While it played on the TV, I unpacked a few of the boxes stowed by the bookcases that needed weeding out. Found a bunch of old Legion Comics which distracted me for a bit while I put ’em in order and put them at the bottom of the linen closet, for the lack of a better temperature-controlled location. Followed up with The Swarm. (An Irwin Allen Sci-fi stinko classic featuring Michael Caine shooting bees from his eyes.)

Cleaning Lady comes by today… after she’s done, I’ll probably go walkabout for a bit, if the weather’s right. I think a walk along the beach might be in order.

Cinnamon toast for breakfast! First time I’ve made it in years… it always reminds me of being a little kid.

Best Message board icon of the moment – 2 cats playing ping pong.

Some pics from yesterday –

Cookie Monster Sticker Graffiti – Just kidding? On the rear exit of the Route 10.

Bus stop – sunrise was like a fire boiling away clouds.. rain was happening a bit to the right.

Found a number of OTR podcasts… about 8-10 hours of classic stuff every week. Songbird is pretty handy there. Sort of disappointed in Penn Gilette’s show, so I’m almost all NPR, OTR, and Prairie Home Companion… oh, Stomp Tokyo and Marc Maron’s show. Sometimes I listen to them on the ride into/from work, while reading, and I sometimes blank out what I’m listening to.

Moment of mp3 – Cake – The Distance – It reminds me of the 90s.

8385 – Friday. Hoping for a good weekend.

Meeting with mom was interesting. We discussed bro and the new project she has with Wilton. Apparently, in her will, if she and Wilton go together, I am to be executor of the estate. That’s a lot of responsibility… bro’s share will go into a trust… he can use it for education, rehab or appropriate health expenses, but never will a dollar touch his hands, for fear that he’ll spend badly.

M&W’s company will be doing some work up in Sterling, VA (about 15 minutes from Dulles airport, or 40 min from DC) during the months of August through October, so I have a free crash spot should I want to visit points north during that time. Sally and Bill are up there, too… I can’t believe that she’s 61, and he’s 50, now. Have twenty-five years really passed that swiftly? I still remember Sally and Mom working at the salon, and my going to see Star Wars in the same plaza. Now, their kids are in the late 20s, too. I’d love to visit the old house, hit the smithsonian Air & Space museum, and visit some LJ-type folk.

I am officially one year cable-tv free. (though I cheat and snag a couple of shows via bittorrent.) Take that, comcast!

Moment of Lyric – mp3

O Fortuna,
velut Luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem;
egestatem,
potestatem,
dissolvit ut glaciem.

If it’s Monday, I must have linkies.

Holy Cow. I just found out that the doctor form house was a character on the old Black Adder Series. Well, Hoorah! I didn’t realiseit was the same guy until his face melted off while breaking a girl’s finger. (Let’s see if I remember that episode a year from now)

Nice thoughts – Dreamt of a smoke colored cat named Ivy.

Evolution of Dance on Youtube… 6 minutes of fun wasted time.

Play-Doh scented perfume?

Historical Sounds in MP3 Format Nifty to hear Albert Einstein and Tomas Edison’s Actual voices. Ghandi’s voice is very unusual. Some oddball choices in there, like “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”, too.

An adventure is misery and discomfort relived in the safety of reminiscence – Marco Polo.

That’s how I’ll sound with a mouthful of crabs. (Not quite as catchy as the Dugong Song.)

Moment of Lyric – mp3 (see also the mp3 ukelele version- via)

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
Its fun to lose
And to pretend
Shes overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word

Hello (x 16)

With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah

Saw Ray I. out in the parking lot at work yesterday. He seems to be doing well, looks healthy and has been married 4 years now. It seems he’ splaying D&D online regularly.

Is it wrong of me to be in support of Robbie Rotten on Lazytown?

I want to be a lazy scout. (At Least today.)

Moment of Lyric – mp3

I really like the song mostly just for the yeah yeahs and the riffs, but here’ the lyrics, anyhow.

If you could blow up the world with the flick of a switch
Would you do it?
If you could make everybody poor just so you could be rich
Would you do it?
If you could watch everybody work while you just lay on your back
Would you do it?
If you could take all the love without giving any back
Would you do it?
And so we cannot know ourselves or what we’d really do…

With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?

If you could make your own money and then give it to everybody
Would you do it?
If you knew all the answers and could give it to the masses
Would you do it?
No no no no no no are you crazy?
It’s a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want
Because you cannot know yourself or what you’d really do

With all your power
With all your power
With all your power

Happy 6^th birthday, dear journal!

Went Clothes shopping yesterday, and got some pretty snazzy duds (if I do say so m’self), most notable was a fresh pair of walking sneakers, and some boxer-briefs. I’ve never had this type of strange hybrid undies before, and so far, they’re quite comfy. Not sure if I prefer ’em to regular boxers, yet.

Much like that first entry, I don’t have much to say, at the moment. I’m dashing out the door, and running wicked late. More ot follow this evening, I imagine.

Have a wonderful day, dear journal.

Pretty proud of the company’s track record the last week or so… we went from 143 to 151 successful recoveries over the course of 7 days. That kind of bog of paperwork, I can cope with.

Moment of Lyric – mp3

I certainly haven’t been shopping for any new shoes
And I certainly haven’t been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot it’s a slow climb
But I’m good at being uncomfortable so I can’t stop changing all the time

I noticed that my opponent is always on the go
And won’t go slow so as not to focus and I notice
He’ll hitch a ride with any guide as long as they go fast from whence he came
But he’s no good at being uncomfortable so he can’t stop staying exactly the
same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can’t help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I’ll make the most of it I’m an extraordinary machine

8358 – compelled to move on to workies.

May 16, 2006 scottobear Leave a comment

Had to take call part of Sunday night.. threw my Monday schedule totally out of whack. Lots of work needed doing, and I got the bulk of it done… mostly sweep-up today, with paperwork, I expect.

Tar cart detail… the wheel and everything is totally coated. stinky, smoky, icky stuff. IT’ll keep me and my stuff dry come the next hurricane.

Hail weather.. 20 minutes prior, there were clear skies, and sunshine. I was fortunate to get a lift home, rather than trudging through that to the bus stop.

Power Records Plaza – provides the book and record version of the Justice League theme. Ouch. I still sort of dig Metamorpho’s though.

Maj. Gen. Horatio Gordon Robley & Maori heads

At first, I thought the heads were cut out photos. But nope, they’re real heads.

Major General Horatio Gordon Robley’s ethnographic book Maori Tattooing has been the standard reference on Moko, or the Maori art of face and body tattooing, ever since it was published in 1896. Dover recently reprinted it. The above photograph of Major General Robley with his collection of tattooed Maoria heads comes from Medicine Man,a gorgeous book about Henry Wellcome’s museum of curios

Moment of Lyric – mp3

Here we are stuck by this river
You and I underneath a sky
That’s ever falling down down down
Ever falling down

Through the day as if on an ocean
Waiting here always failing to remember
Why we came came came
I wonder why we came

You talk to me as if from a distance
And I reply with impressions chosen
From another time time time
From another time.

8353 – Mamma’s Day!

May 14, 2006 scottobear Leave a comment

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers!

Well, Momster and Wilt are pretty sick and out of commission, so that frees up my Sunday brunch schedule. Walkies it is! I’m not going to dine out this morning, because I know it’s pretty much a universal restaurant crowd sort of holiday. It just means I can go to a non-mommy-type place with relative ease today… maybe a movie?

Had a lovely long phone talk yesterday, to make more vacation plans, but we ended up simply chitty-chatting… that was quite nice, too.

An Alien Saucer is hovering overhead. A cone of coherent lime green light erupts from the bottom center of the craft, and strikes a man walking down the street.

He vanishes with a flash, and a popping sound of air rushing to fill the void where he once was.

Poll inspired by this video. (quicktime, via)

Moment of Lyric – mp3

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!

8351 – Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, a Day of Rest!

May 13, 2006 scottobear Leave a comment

Got together with Kev last night, did a classic fart party at my place… pizza, caught up on gossip and family, and watched the extended version of buckaroo banzai. I think that he’ll do quite well to be away from his siblings and in-laws for a year. Newt was pretty talkative…he smelled Kev’s Zoo, and was investigating him the whole time, alternately nuzzling, sniffing, and bipping.

Yesterday morning when I left for work, the smell of ozone was in the air, and thunder in the distance. I put my palm, cell phone and digicam in a sealed plastic bag, and went to the stop with umbrella as a walking-stick. Before I cleared the D building, it was coming down in sheets. By the time I made it to the bus stop, I was soaked through, save for a circle of only semi-wet the size of my bumbershoot coverage. My natural body-heat dried most of me out, save for socks and shoes, which squished throughout the day. Not the most fun feeling, and I really couldn’t take ’em off, because I had some dog & pony shows / trainings to do. I was more than delighted to be free of those foot-bindings once I arrived home.

Moment of Lyric – Instrumental – Can be found at BeaucoupKev’s

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) told her caucus members during their weekly closed meeting Wednesday that impeachment is off the table; she is not interested in pursuing it.

Dear Ms. Pelosi, kiss my ass. If it’s your job to assist in prosecution of folks that commit crimes, then assist. If they don’t find any crimes, then state that fact, clear their good name and move on to doing your fricking job elsewhere.

American troops have complained that a new armored body suit designed to be worn in Iraq makes them look “goofy”.

I’m known as Scott von Berg (or searchble by the nickname of scottobear) on 6 degrees if you want to link to me.

I sent a few emails out, but got lazy.

Some old doodles on the palm, recently synched –

doing an inventory of moods after a particularly bad moment. done about 2 weeks ago

Tired, blank. done earlier this week.

Surprising, because usually my doodles are happy-ish.

Well, with the exception of –

When I was little, I wished I could accurately throw a quarter hard enough to explode cinder block. Come to think of it, I wouldn’t mind having that ability now. Why did I want to explode cinder block? I don’t remember.

May 7, 2006 scottobear Leave a comment

I may be getting a touch sick… serious fatigue yesterday – 4×45 minute naps, and was still beat… mild hot flashes. I couldn’t be bothered to leave the house at all, so no free comic books, Morikami or air show memories for me.

Still a bit weary this morning.

Did you know that if you have a picture on flickr, make it private and then public again, all the favorites attached to it fall off?

I found the security video feed to a store up the street from me. (It only seems to go live outside of business hours)

Kids in the Hall – Dawn of the Dead.

Yup, this sums it up pretty well. “We’re safe, but for how long?”

70 free Streaming video channels,all on one page.(warning for folks with kiddies, there are some 18+ only channels on there, too)

Nice cluster of channels from 18-22 when I tuned in, I hit – vintage superman cartoons, Gamera, an episode of Gunsmoke, some Italian horror and a Lou Costello bit.

Moment of lyric – mp3

Cut the fat off the back of a baboon
Boil it down to a pound into the spoon
Scoop the eye from a fly flying backwards
Take the jaws and the paws off a ‘coon
Take your time, I ain’t lyin’ for good cookin’
Cause the rest of this mess ain’t good lookin’
Take the fleas from the knees of a demon
Tell your pals and gals and come screamin’
To the feast with the beast of the Mau Maus
They make wine from the spine of their bulldogs
They dance and romance for 90 days
It’s a test for the best for who stays
at the feast with the beast of the Mau Maus

Brush your teeth with a piece of a goose toenail
After death steal a breath of a drunk in jail
Pull the skin off your friend with a razor blade
And tonight change tomorrow and bring back yesterday
Shake your hip, bite your lip, and shoot your mother-in-law
Put on your gorilla suit, drink some elbow soup and have a ball
Get it straight, don’t be late, it’s time for mad fun
Take off your shoes, and cook onion stew
They have really begun!

Feast of the Mau Maus has begun
At the feast with the beast of the Mau Maus
They make wine from the spine of their bulldogs
they dance and romance for 90 days
It’s a best of a test for who stays
And a feast with the beast of the Mau Maus
Yes, we’ll have a good time.
C’mon and have a good time. *snort-laugh*

Why You Should Care About Network Neutrality

Via bhk – Kitty and rooster are friends!

Happy Birthday, Buddha!!

Just heard a commercial for Mega-M&M’s.

I thought I heard “maggot M&M’s” Ugh. Not at 6am, please. Ack. Ptui.

Nice to see that there are a few alternatives to fighting the masses of humanity that are going to be at Sunfest and the Air & Sea Show this weekend.

I might do #10 – Try to get my head around the fact that the Ancient Spanish Monastery and St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church in North Miami Beach is the oldest building in the western hemisphere. It was built in Spain in the 10th century, purchased by William Randolph Hearst in 1925 and finally reassembled in Florida in the 1950s. Cistercian monks lived in the building for its first 700 years of life. 16711 W. Dixie Highway. North Miami Beach, 305-945-1461. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, but call ahead because it closes for the many weddings and receptions that are held on its grounds. Admission: $5 adults, $2.50 students and seniors, $2 children 12 and younger.

Who knew that a 1000 year old building is right up the street?

Moment of Lyric – REM by way of the Cardigans – MP3

Oh, life is bigger
It’s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I’ve said too much
I set it up

8337 – Only Thursday… or is it Thursday Already?

May 4, 2006 scottobear Leave a comment

I remember back when you could go to Pizza Hut to have a nice sit-down meal with a friend or three. Are any of them still like that anymore?

That’s one of the things I sort of miss about PamM.I’ve got about a decade’s worth of memories of High School world and times after… and all of my real cohorts are either dead or gone. Steve Jacoby vanished into obscurity, Brent died, and Pam and I probably will never speak again. I don’t have anyone left to really reminisce with about those times anymore. Kev’s about as close as it gets, but he was at a different school… and the memories are of a different sort.. Kev was one of my “Computer Pals” (like JimG, who I still hear from every year or so.), Those mentioned before that were my gaming/school friends. It’s kind of funny… Pam lives less than four miles from me, and we share some common friends, but I don’t know if I could communicate with her on a reasonable level if I ever saw her again. We were good friends, and unfortunate foes – for the same personality reasons. Maybe someday we’ll talk again, but I’d put odds in the slim to none range. A shame I can’t just reconnect with the good parts of that friendship… I don’t really care to see what happens to social politics when we mix, but some of the in-jokes and “good old days” sort of stuff.

That’s the funny thing about compartmentalizing friends… if you lose a smaller amount, that chunk fades totally into the past. Old Computer buds from back when I had a 110 character per sec modem… ran fidonet and BBS systems is pretty fun to talk about… but similar memories of going to the complete strategist and gaming in the living room form that time are gone. Watching TV while talking on the phone and chatting… Matt Frewer on Doctor Doctor caused us to laugh our heads off. Trip to Disney was probably one of the first signals of how we were bringing out the less than stellar sides of one another. Halloween costumes. Watching Zardoz and comiserating about our folks, when we were both still living at home with parents.

Ah well.. the nice thing now is that I can make new memories with old friends, new ones, and those that fall in between. Learn from my mistakes, profit from my successes.

Carrageenan is awesome stuff. I first learned about it on a cartoon segment (Undersea Adventures of Captain Nemo – about a pod of whales and a seaweed farm) in an episode of Captain Kangaroo.

Does impersonating W’s voice and Goober from Andy Griffith show sound the same to anyone but me? IQ 85 southerner sort of vibe?

8332 – MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MONDAY! ARGH!

May 1, 2006 scottobear Leave a comment

The Sarah Jane episode of Dr. Who didn’t disappoint, and it was delightful to see both her and K9 again. I do think that if the Doctor had been a little less “devil may care”, a lot fewer innocents would’ve been killed.

In other TV news, I was enjoying Charmed, until they added the blond “cousin oliver”. See also the addition of the kid on Gilmore Girls. They’re just counting down to the end.

Bob Ross Inc. has announced in March 2006 that they have filed a letter of intent to license to Joseph Hatcher’s AGFRAG Entertainment Group to develop exclusively worldwide video/computer games based on Bob Ross’ creative, unique and easy to learn painting techniques and TV show properties.

Right on. Happy Little Trees! “We don’t make mistakes, we just have happy accidents.” I love that guy.

Is it true that 1 human being out of 5 is a Chinese farmer? There are a lot of 20% breakdowns on google.

A few –

one in every five Americans are currently infected with a sexually transmitted viral disease.
One in every five Americans, experiences some type of mental disorder each year
The bacteria that cause meningococcal disease are carried by about one in every five people.
One in every five people in Nairobi is HIV positive
About one in every five people have genital herpes
one in every five people in Jordan have made pledges to UNICEF
One in every five people lack access to safe drinking water.
one in every five people on the planet is a Muslim.
One in every five people in Seoul owns dogs or other pets.
Mild side effects of the Japanese Encephalitis Virus Vaccine occur in about one in every five people who receive it.
one in every five people has a reading problem
One in every five people in the developing world is chronically undernourished
By 2030, one in every five people is likely to be 65 or older
one in every five people who work for the State of California works for the Department of Corrections
one in every five people in the world is surviving on less than $1 a day
One in every five people with sight problems has another disability
One in every five people with HIV is a prison inmate or a former inmate
In Michigan, nearly one in every five people is out of work

To the best of my knowledge, I don’t fall into any of those groups.

I’d say I know folks that fall into group #1, #2, #4 (but not from Nairobi), #5, #6, #8, #9 (in Seoul), #11, #13 (I think GP falls into that group… I’ll be 61), #14, #15, #16, #17

It’s really hard to find a house painted green in my neighborhood. I have yellow, many shades of blue, pink, white, and gray… but no green. Also, I’ve found no stray kitties in my walkabout… Seester Kelliebellie gave me a challenge! I like it, but it may take me longer than I had anticipated.

I had a little tummy-ache this weekend…feeling a bit better now.

Everybody’s got something to hide except me and my monkey.

I like monkeys – mp3

I was walking through town one day and I noticed that the pet store was selling monkeys for five cents apiece. I thought that was odd since they were normally a couple thousand dollars or something, but I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. You know why? I like monkeys.
