Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.

Mondays are wonderful to come home to Newt... he missed me after having me around all weekend, so he's all crazy-lovey. It took ten solid minutes of cat-squishing to get him to relax and knowI'm in with him for the night...so he can dash off, and hang out on the cardbard boxes.

found a new supplier for goodies... that video card is $100, and looks to be easily installed. I look forward to having that machine up and solid...I'm going to bring the laptop in to work once I have the big machine solid, and back her up there... I'm contemplating the new network... point (palm), Line (laptop), Square (Web server), and Cube for Big Boy. Or maybe not.

Ack! Dang Yahoo!

ah... scalding hot shower on my rhino hide feels sooooo good after a long day. my shoulders are still steaming.

War Ellie figs from Warhammer Ancient Battles. I want a battle elephant! If I don't get carving soon, I'm going to yodel or something. (note, of course, my ellie-carving skills are mighty crude, compared to the folks that did those miniatures. I really like the quilted armor about five down.)













You know that of Hannibal's ellies, he started with 34, but only seven survived the trip. Poor things, but the two big battles were won, anyhow. Carthaginians were mighty. Sadly, like Antony, he too pussed out and took his own life to avoid repercussions.

I want a battle elephant, too!! Those are beautiful! I've always been fascinated by Hannibal and the way he crossed the Alps with his elephants. Why doesn't Hollywood make an epic movie about the Punic Wars?

Dern tootin'! I'd be the first in line to see a film about Hannibal's war strategy done with today's CGI.

I do admit I'd like to see talking monkeys and Jackie Chan star in it, too.

I've been thinking of Newt the last few days, as my new neighbors have a pretty, love-y orange kitty who likes to camp on my outside windowsill and vocalises freely for me to come out and cuddle him. He looks like Newt, but I call him Orange because there is only ONE Newt! =)

You need to bring Newt along with your elephant just in case someone brings a mouse....
