I rode the bike all the way home tonight, and I made better time than the bus. (Or at least equal.) I maintained an average speed of about 15 mph for the 7ish miles home, stopped at 7-11 for a bottle of water and some treats for my bro, and myself… and still got in the house by 9pm.

Joe Ostezewski (or was it Joe Ostaszewski?) at the 7-11 on the way home from work today. I knew him in my freshman / sophomore year in high school, before he became some kind of football guy for FSU. He recognized me before I recognized him. I'd say he's put on quite a little weight since I saw him last, but he still looks healthy and happy. He was driving an SUV, but there were no other people in the car. I'll write about the Ostazewski twins and my teaching them how to use the crappy "color computer II" (how's that for dating myself?) for word processing a homework report, while I felt so smug to myself about having an Atari 800 at home with all the stuff shown here and a fidonet hub.

Thank you [livejournal.com profile] cath555 for the card! :)

I'm happy that I've got wave one of my holiday cards out... another batch and I'll have 'em done.

I'm unwinding now… painting tiny cemetery stone walls with the following scheme- chaos black, heavy dry brush - codex gray, light dry brush- fortress gray, highlights 50% skull white - 50% fortress gray. Turning out better than the reddish-rust 'natural stone' of the ruins I've been putting together over the last week or so.

Monkey Weiner pendant. I can see those catching on in the more flamboyant parts of town. see also the donkey parking sign

I've been hearing a lot more swearing lately in my travels. The C-word... rhymes with punt. The N-Word, Rhymes with bigger. Does every letter of the alphabet have a nasty word associated with it? I know there's an F-word and cheap commitment hating-comedians call Marriage the M-word.

Is there a K-word? An I-Word? I'd like the official L-word to be Llama. Not because it's a curse word, but it's got two L's in it, and it's more cool (just a bit) than Lloyd, and they're cute as the dickens.

Heh. Why does the monkey pendant remind me of Dr. Strangelove?


Angry-eyed smoking llama with boxer shorts and baseball cap! Yay!


I don't know about other places, but in Los Angeles, the K word is kitsch!

Ooh.... I like Kitsch as the K-word.

The Mr. Potato head Llama is fun! Hooray for Llamas!

I'm not sure about the Strangelove / Monkey Correlation. :)

Heh... you'd probably know!

Actually, you're my biggest recent source of adorable llama photos... and the word yurt.

Monkey reminds me of Slim Pickens riding the bomb.

Isn't an alpaca just a llama who shops at Saks?

I think you're right... Alpacas have nicer coats, and I think that Llamas are more fun pack / companion animals.

All the Camel-folk are just super cute, I think.
