7784 - When you say Taco... Say... Viva!

[scottobear]

Random Video of Newt and I listening to birds outside

also, I have to get a new battery for the laser pointer, so I can mess with Newt like this some more.

Heard from an old High school pal who used to hang out with Steve Jacoby, Brent Ashland and Me. Clayton was the reason we had all the cool Print Shop signs in our Raiders of the Lost Sock movie. We're talking 8088 IBM PCs, and Apple ][+ era stuff. He found my lj on a google search. For Taco Viva.


Last time I saw him.. 1986ish? Another lifetime ago.

Scooby Doo, Where Are You? just wouldn't work without Ted Nichols' musical scores. Yes, it's the same couple of themes recycled over and over again. But too much of a good thing can be wonderful.

Sample... "It" Appears mp3. Great stuff. I tromp around like this already. (see Also - Red Beard Laughs)

One Small part of the Scooby Doo Case Files.

Moment of Lyric: (Thanks for the Monday morning pick-me-up, Dani!)

Mr. Sun came up and he smiled at me
Said "it's gonna be a good one, just wait and see"
Jumped out of bed, and I ran outside
Feeling so ecstatic, satisfied.

It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)

I'm so busy, got nothing to do
Spent the last 2 hours just tying my shoe
Every flower, every grain of sand
Is reaching out out to shake my hand

Sometimes the little things start closing in on me
When I'm feeling down, I wanna lose that frown
I stick my head out the window and look around
Those crowds don't scare me, they can't disguise
Its magic that's happening right before my eyes

Soon Mr. Moon will be shining bright
So the best day ever can last all night
Yeah, the best day ever's gonna last all night, now.

Had a nice lunch out with Jenjen (She paid, even!) We talked about work, kids, technology, and danced around politics. Helped her especially with Bittorrent and RSS feeds. She put me on a few leads for grants, too. She's put on a little weight since she moved back in with her parents (with her husband, while the house gets fixed up) and i think that it's in no small part because it grates on her nerves. I'm glad to hear her hubbie is sounding better than he was at last report, and we laughed about WB and his crew getting audited by the IRS.

Quote of the moment -

But then they danced down the street like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I have been doing all my life after people who interest me because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awwww!"

I think that hearing from old high school friends is cyclical. I just got a classmates email from one. It said that I would be "pleased at how she turned out. Hint: I like my evenings and the local liquor store." I figure she's what? An alcoholc vampire? And I should be pleased? What the hell? I love the Newtie Footage. His big green eyes make me want to snuggle him.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

alcoholic vampire?

What about "I don't drink... wine..."

I guess that means they can still kick back a cool 47 ouncer of malt liquor.

maybe she was being sarcastic, because she's just a barfly now?

Newt is very snuggleable! :D

[weezeroni.livejournal.com]

I actually think that she's hinting that she's now divorced. And probably a barfly. Whoooo Hoooo! I'm not sure why she thinks I'd be pleased.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

maybe you thought her hubbie was a catch... or maybe she's lookin' for love!

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Newtie has the best big eyes!

There was a bunch of laser pen vids..neat. I have one, but it broke. Pfft.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well, luckily, most laser pointers can be picked up for about $3 at office depot... :)

Newt can do the "Shrek2 puss in boots" face pretty well .:)

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Right now, that's a "when I start working again $3.00 thing". :D

I came across a Puss in Boots icon the other day, where Puss' eyes actually blinked (errr..or maybe it was on my hdd...I've got a zillion). I seriously thought about Newt when I saw it. :0)

[weezeroni.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that face.

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

AAAARGGHHH!!!! Evil ghosty Scotto now! ;)

Playing with the negative on pictures and film can produce some cool results. I had an old B&W photo of a creepy gate into an old overgrown Victorian cemetery, and when that was turned negative the creepy factor went right up.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

WooOOoooOOoo

I bet the gate looked bonus spooky with the shadows in white!

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

Very much. Shame I don't have it anymore - was going to use it for a Vampire: Victorian Age game.

I don't know if you have a similar site in the US or whether its the same one worldwide - I signed up to a site called "Friends Reunited" mainly to see how my old class mates where doing. I've tried contacting a couple of them but after a few mails it dried up, or I didn't really want to talk them again.
Besides, I never lose contact with the few people I really considered friends back then... except one and I don't know whatever happened to him and his family. :(

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

we have something called classmates.com, and a few others... most of my pals from hs have done a total fadeout or passed away.

What amazes with some of the folks I was at High School with is that at school they were the sort who would never amount to much, or at least not to much more than Joe Average, but who yet 15 years later run their own businesses. One guy who was in my class through High School was a soccer/football player and not much else, yet here he is now running an interet firm from Hong Kong!

Still, I don't mind too much being the guy who didn't amount to much. :)

Yaaaaay Newt videos! What a pretty boy he is!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Soon to be a birthday boy! He turns 6 on wednesday!

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

Happy early birthday to Newt! :)

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Yaaaay for the birthday boy!

Pye's is July 1st. He had a sedate birthday this year---his mom was bad and didn't give him his presents until after the day---and even then she didn't wrap them. But I don't think Pye knew the difference since he pretty much leads the life of Riley anyway :D

"and we laughed about WB and his crew getting audited by the IRS."

Is this a new round of WB info or is this old news you were just rehashing? Do tell!

random-ish comment

[anony-moos.livejournal.com]

the default passwords link made me laugh because one of the names near the top of the list was Acer. Which is what one of my brother's friends named his kid. Well it's not actually his kid, but that's a whole nother story and I'm saving it to sell to a TV soap.

I am not sure whether to be impressed with myself or embarrassed that I knew that Kerouac quote before I'd finished the first line. Is that from On The Road, where he's talking about Dean Moriarty?

*here ends the g33ky bookish comment*

Re: random-ish comment

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

The kid was named Acer? That's a pretty rough one to live up to.

It's from on the road. :)

Re: random-ish comment

[anony-moos.livejournal.com]

the kid is named Acer, the guy who may or may not be his father is called Querino (pronounced Creen-o), his uncle is called Clayton and his grandmother is called Marina. They sound exotic but they're very local.
