scottobear
Weather Yesterday knocked me out. Made me wicked sleepy... After work, I had a long nap, and then watched Fog of War. It was quite fascinating, and I'd recommend it to anyone. First Time I've checked out the special features. Subtitles are in French, Spanish, Japanese, and Portuguese, and the additional scenes are of value.
Transcript and other info.
Krispy Kreme outlets will be giving away free doughnuts on 3 June 2005. (tomorrow)
OneWordMovie [Flash] asks you for any term and then produces a movie made from image search results of Google and others.
I enjoyed putting scottobear in there, since it's unique enough to just flip though stuff related to my life, usually images posted in LJ. slowest speed is my preferred viewing method.
Gave platelets again last night. (pre-nap) Fortunately, the saline wasn't as painful this time. I miss going at midday, when the nearby sub shop would bring over a free sammich instead of the center giving a packet of famous amos and a diet coke. Ah well, it's charity, I'm not in it for the free lunch.
I'm already missing MP, and she's not even gone yet. I'm a dope for getting too emotionally invested.
Newt loves it when I read to him at night. I don't think it's remotely strange to read him a bedtime story before we go to sleep. I like reading aloud, and he's a good listener (when he's not trying to sit on the book being read.)
I had a talk the other day with a coworker. They're upset about the low level of respect that's doled out in the office. My response is that what they think or say really doesn't matter. If they don't respect you, and you know you deserve respect... that's them being ignorant. I don't think it was very comforting.
Bro called me, still hasn't gotten his new cell-phone, and wants me to help him get this fishing pole out of storage to better get some food from off the land. I think he's got a telemarketing gig now, too. I'm hoping that I can get those for him shortly.
Right book, wrong description
Boy, church sure has changed since last time I went (via

qdot) [possibly nsfw]Lately, I've been going to bed hungry. I'd rather have a little pang than bother to get up an eat. I don't know if that's better or worse for my diet, but sloth has officially defeated gluttony in my deadly sin ratings.
No good comcast resolution, so I canceled my billing with them. I may get the "dish", or I may just do without regular TV for a while. I can keep myself very entertained without cable, considering I only really watch shows that I torrent lately.
I'm a terrible one for philosophy, mainly because most of what's been presented to me has too much sophistry for me to accept.
Moment of Lyric:
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Pretty cool solar-powered gadget charging backpack.

And I couldn't work the word pencil into any of the above sentences danggit.

Do you read to Pye?

Date: 2005-06-02 01:07 pm (UTC)What... are you reading to him... The Three Mouseketeers? ;)
Sorry about the MP pre-misery. There is no real off button, I've looked. Except for maybe pie. And that's just neutral enough for a test drive.
Nightly fasting is probably safe. Interesting that I have felt very similar lately.
no subject
Date: 2005-06-02 01:33 pm (UTC)Current Novel is "Night Watch" by Terry Pratchett.
No real worries about a mild malaise.. I'll get over it. MMM, Pie!

Date: 2005-06-02 03:55 pm (UTC)I'm thinkng of jumping up to bigger "chapter" books for Hannah. Green Eggs and Ham is loosing its luster maybe. I want to get her into the classics. My Dad read them to me when I was her age and I seemed to catch on. I don't know... maybe I was older... I think she would dig a Tale of Two Cities...
no subject
Date: 2005-06-02 04:43 pm (UTC)It'd be a pretty good starting book, actually, because you see a lot of the characters as they were 30 years prior to the majority of the other stories.
Tale of Two Cities could be a hoot! Lots of great stuff out there... maybe the Hobbit?
no subject
Date: 2005-06-02 05:05 pm (UTC)Book 28? Have you read the 27 previous?
Good lord, and I have trouble with shorts...
no subject
Date: 2005-06-02 05:14 pm (UTC)I cheat, I've downloaded the majority of them into my palmtop, and read on the bus en-route to work.
I get most of my reading done in transit, or right before bed.
The hobbit is a lot more young adult based than the ring books... easier vocabulary.

Date: 2005-06-02 06:38 pm (UTC)I may try out NW. I had a Palm Pilot but it died somewhere. I hardly had enough info in my life to justify it anyway. It was just an excuse to play solitare. I bought Molly one too. Her's was in color.
I'm a before bed and weekend reader. Plus, I take my time going potty sometimes. At least until my legs fall asleep.
sad/true.

Date: 2005-06-02 06:44 pm (UTC)I like to read in the potty too. Less so now, because the whole house is my sanctum.

Date: 2005-06-03 01:57 pm (UTC)I think Thief of time (#26?) is good starter , too, especially if you dig time-travel yarns.
I especially like the ones that focus on the Watch, but I think I've actively enjoyed all of 'em except for "moving pictures"
(probably my favorite group of charaters in the discworld universe - Other sinclude some hedge-witches, a univeristy of wizards, the incarnation of death (who is actually rather nice), and others single-shots.)

Re: in response to right book wrong description
Date: 2005-06-02 11:52 pm (UTC)actually i don't know how I came upon her blog, (probably while doing a google search) but i've been looking at blogs, including yours, for over two years. I've never been tempted to make my own, (i think that since i'm an artist, i worry about dividing my creative energy... )but there are a few like you, onegoodmove.org, fallentoad, allthingschristie.com and some others who i like to peek in on daily.
there, now you know far more than you asked for...
also, i should say that i was heartened to find decent, intelligent people in florida. one realizes that there must be, but sometimes you wonder! ; )

Re: in response to right book wrong description
Date: 2005-06-03 12:09 am (UTC)I'd love to see your artwork... what part of CA are you in? I've got a few friends in San Diego and the Orange County areas.
Re: in response to right book wrong description

Re: in response to right book wrong description

I look forward to looking over the whole site!

for my next venture i want to get george jones, but i haven't asked him yet. I'm afraid that i'm too sacrilegious for him.
Re: in response to right book wrong description
