Moving Reminder
This is just a quick reminder for anyone who is coming to help us move tomorrow. (And we appreciate it too!!!!)
When – Saturday September 25th starting about 10am
More random-selection meme sheepage
I wasn’t going to post this one, but the answers did make me giggle:
Cat with Phonesaber
KayLee is spending less time under my bed, and more time perched on the living room windowsill, or sitting at the sliding glass backyard door looking out. She still prefers to be curled tight against me when she can manage it. In fact, she loves it when I’m lying on my bed with my knees up, typing on my work laptop; she then slides under my raised knees and goes to sleep, effectively immobilizing me.
I have a working phone now. This is a major load off my mind, and a great savings to my cell phone bill.
I hear that they finally did fix Ben and Vader’s lightsaber blades in the hangar bay fight of A New Hope. I’m going to end up doing what raininva wants to do with Dune: import all the versions into Final Cut Pro, and recut the thing myself. In an unrelated note, I hear that BitTorrent files of the old Original Edition laserdiscs are very hot right now for some reason.
Ben and Vader’s: sounds like a light-side / dark-side ice cream.
Yeah, think I better have some lunch before my blood sugar drops any farther.
C8H10N4O2
I used to have this picture as my desktop back at American Classifieds. There was a reason!
I catch myself thinking about 6 or 7 times a day, “Boy, a Coke would be good right now.” Then I rationalize why I deserve one, then I tell myself that I will be good and not get one.
I’m not an addict. Not at all.
I think I need some Penguin Mints.
I am all about the Fluff
With only a few weeks left before the release of Decipher’s WARS Trading Card Game, we’ve posted a PDF copy of the rulebook for the first set so that people who want to can brush up on the rules before hand.
There’s a nice little piece of text on the 21st page of the PDF, in the “Credits” section: “Concepting: Tim Ellington, Michael Girard, Kathy Lischke, Tom Lischke, Andy Lupp, Michael O’Brien, Justin Pakes, Erika Stensvaag.”
Me happy.
I already knew she wasn’t dead
Congratualtions kittykatya on another year of succefully converting oxygen to carbon dioxide! Long may it continue!
Phase One complete
Yes, Virginia, you can fit a futon, mattress and all, in a Hyundai Elantra.
Spent my first night in the new house. The room I’ve slept in for the past three months had crappy A/C, but this morning I woke up a bit chilly – raininva will be pleased. Glad I found my bathrobe in the move. This week I start unpacking what I have with me of my office, which is little more than a mess of boxes at the moment. The commute is easier (it seems so far) than the previous commute, which is nice. I have to find out why the smoke alarm emits random stifled beeps all day, but last night I was far too tired to notice.
Had the sense to take some ibuprofen before bed, so didn’t wake up too sore.
So, it seems a Mac shareware developer released an app which, if you enter a pirated serial number, erases your Home directory – your system and applications survive, but every personal document, music file, movie, e-mail, website, password, etc. is GONE. So, is this just desserts for pirates, or equivalent to burning someone’s house down for punching you in the nose? Discuss.

I just need to make about two more trips, and Phase One of the move will be complete. Funny how the new place didn’t really seem like it was ‘ours’ until I could use the bathroom and run the AC 🙂
Another not dead guy
Congratualtions on continuing to put oxygen to good use for another year, jdunson!
Cargo Transfer
Moved more boxes last night – woke up quite sore! I cannot wait until electric power is back on at the new place and I can turn on the air-conditioning! It’s 90-100 degrees in that house, even after sunset. Naturally, I’ll be finishing the move from my single room before I get power back – so all my toting must be done in the heat, and preferably before dark. On the other hand, at least any folk who help us on the big move from the Salem apartment will have air-conditioning to enjoy.
It’s been weird enough living in a rented room with 2-3 roommates I rarely see. For a couple weeks, I’ll be living completely alone in a 3-bedroom house. I expect I’ll be playing lots of music to add some life to the place. Actually, for the second of those two weeks I’ll have the kitty with me – that will help.
Tonight I hope to catch up with Tom. I need to burn a CD of MPEGs for him.
