Pix quit today, and it looks as if the whole laser dept will be shut down.

I was in an extended meeting... we outlined the dissolution of various elements, and the effects of doing so.

the company's future looks bleak... I think some bad decisions were made, and will be made in short order.

On a lighter note, spent more time with Ornj online today, and it just made my heart soar. Enjoyed many a spot of conversation and surfing... we bid good evening here and it's a delightful last stop to talk of Victorian love before bed.



2 *new* episodes of Angry Beavers tomorrow at noon, on Nick!

Be there, or be square, baby!

Watching Cartoons this morning... :) Who knew king Neptune was such a meanie, and good ol' Patrick the starfish is such a kindly soul, too... and being a bit dim is part of his charm... like stimpy.

sweetalyssm's been on a real art kick lately... take a peek over there at some of her most recent stuff... I'm envious of her skill... my artistic bent has never really been good at the visual.

only a few minutes to beavers... my weekend date with Ornj. :)

Well, look who's here! It's Mr. Happy-pants!

Movies to see with the brother - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... or maybe that movie I've been getting all sorts of good reviews on... O Brother, Where Art thou...

Have two books to pick up this weekend, too. Heidegger's Being and Time (Joan Stambaugh translation ) for the reading group, and Cold Mountain for personal funzies and discussion. Going to have to pick them up either today or tomorrow, just to dig in!

Norb & Dag get super-invisible X-ray spex! :) Can sea monkeys be far behind? Eh, what say you, sea-monkey queen? Not sure why they call the beavs angry, upon reflection... for the majority of the time, they're pretty happy, goofy guys.



Holy cow! Muscular Beaver Just summoned Cthulhu!!

Oh, my... forgot to post this earlier... got caught up with Ornj, and she fascinates me so...

Proclaiming from the rooftops..

I LOVE HER!

ok, you may all go back about your business.

Back again...

Did some chores, but sadly didn't connect with the little brother... he's working tonight. So, I swung by the bookstore after dropping my laundry in the washers at the local 'mat. They weren't sure about what version of Heidiggers book they would order... they didn't know which translation it was... (so I'm swinging by the big honking borders tomorrow or during the week), but I picked up Cold Mountain and began reading.... so far, so *great*. I'm about 50 pages in, but I'm cutting myself off at certain chapters, wanting to savor the book... consume it slowly over the coming week. (I honestly don't think that's going to happen... it's really good. I see it swiping some of my snooze time before bed tonight....) The characters Inman and Ada both seem very interesting, and the writing is very evocative. So far there's quite a lot of detail, but not so much that it clutters the events or characterization. Instantly engaging. I was warned it'd keep me up all night, and it may...

On other fronts, Newt seems happy that winter is over, and liked the little tiny space heater... it's neat, it doesn't get hot to the touch, but acts as sort of a blow-dryer... Newt likes to park about 3 feet in front of it, and poof out, and bask. :)

Hmm.. now that I have to make my own dinner (instead of going out)... what to have? I have 3 bananas, peanut butter, some bagels... I want to go easy on the carbs... maybe I'll just smear the peanut butter on the bananas directly? I need a better (non-starchy) delivery system. cut the bananas into disks, and make little tiny nanner sammiches?

good night!

Hitting the sack, so I can get up for my date tomorrow! (10am!)

a little mother goose for you...

I love little pussy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love little pussy,
Her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her,
She'll do me no harm.
So I'll not pull her tail,
Nor drive her away,
But pussy and I,
Very gently will play.

and another...

Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl;
If the bowl had been stronger,
My song would have been longer.

Hush-a-bye, baby,
in the tree top.

When the wind blows,
the cradle will rock.

When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall,

And down will come baby,
cradle and all.

Hush-a-bye, baby,
Your cradle is green,
Daddy's a king,
And Mommy's a queen;
Sister's a lady
Who wears a gold ring;
Brother's a drummer
Who plays for the king.

Hush-a-bye, baby,
Way up on high,
Never mind, baby,
Mommy is nigh,
Swinging the baby
All around --
Hush-a-bye, baby,
Up hill and down.


Good night... *snuggles in, and puts out all but the froggy light*
