Two words of the day.

irenic \eye-REN-ik; -REE-nik\, adjective:
Tending to promote peace; conciliatory.

Irenic comes from Greek eirenikos, from eirene, "peace."

potatory \POH-tuh-tor-ee\ adjective

Pertaining to or given to drinking.

From Latin potatorius, from Latin potatus, past participle of potare, to drink.

The word potatory has little to do with potatoes, unless the drink in question happens to be aquavit. Two more familiar cousins of today's word are potion and potable.

Feeling pretty good this morning, I went to bed early last night... (about 9:30ish), and slept solidly to about 5 am. I spent a half hour snuggling with the Newt-baby, until he found something better to do... batting at strings on the blinds. I've since taken it slow, drinking gatorade, and seeing how I'm feeling, weighing in my mind if I should call in sick. I'm feeling good, but don't want to mung it up. I'll give it until 8:30 this morning before I decide... [9am update, I'm going to go in, I feel fine] it's better to call first thing, and I can telecommute if anything major needs to be done. (I'm planning on being late to work on Thursday, I'm going to check out apartments with Danny, and take him to breakfast... maybe not make it in until 1 or 2...If I find an apartment quickly, maybe we'll go see Atlantis as a reward for a job well done...or maybe Evolution. I like disney cartoons, but hope that the music takes it easy, or is appropriate, not just plugged in.Movie I want to see that he doesn't - Swordfish. Movie he want's to see that I don't - Tomb Raider.)


check out idea no. 12, specifically the photography link in the middle menu. The photography itself is quite good; even better, if you're using Internet Explorer, is the presentation.

Yay! or maybe not Yay.Smallville - the tale of superman, set as wb teenage drama. oh the laughter. hmm, actually, you can read some reviews of the pilot on aicn.

I like to wave.

In the car, on long road trips I really enjoy waving to kids in the back seat, especially if they wave back.

When I was a kid I used to wave at planes when they passed overhead.

To this day, I wave at graveyards, as I ride past. I suspect ghosts don't exist, but if they do, I think they'd like to be acknowledged with a friendly gesture every now and then.

If I'm sitting on the front porch, reading or whatever, I wave to the odd passing car, neighbor or not.

If I think someone's watching on the webcam, I wave a quick hello.

As a side note -
I want a picture to go with this sound.
I've been looking for about a half hour, and haven't turned up anything yet.

question

Why aren't there any coffee-flavored cereals?

(aside from sweetalyssm's moco-puff comment. :P)

a touch of evil news

Farting Vaccine?
=================================
A new anti-farting vaccine for sheep and cattle might cut down on Australia's greenhouse gas emissions...It works by reducing the amount of gut organisms which produce methane during digestion.


Move Over Mama Cass, Pork Claims Another Victim
=================================
Forget rheumatic fever, kidney stones, heart disease, pneumonia, and even poisoning. What may have really killed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was schnitzel.
The latest theory about the composer's death on Dec. 5, 1791, at age 35 in Vienna suggests the culprit was probably trichinosis.
The illness is usually caused by eating undercooked pork infested by the worm, and could explain all of Mozart's symptoms, which included fever, rash, limb pain, and swelling, said Dr. Jan V. Hirschmann of Puget Sound Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Seattle.

Well, there's always tomorrow.

Dangit. I should've stayed home. I'm not sick, but I should've anyway. *grinds toe into the dirt.

I smell a hoax!

cute hoax, puts words in brads mouth via html.clever!

Just spent the last half hour picking through my win.ini and registry, plumbing out the last bits of a worm on my system. All clean, now...after purging all manner of yuck. I *highly* recommend Symantec's Anti-virus center for purging malignant code from your system, it had a number of things to try that I probably wouldn't have thought of.(especially key names in the registry to deal with... here's the page I was working with. as an example of some how to's for doing cleanup. Much useful detail, especially regarding Win Me(h) of which I'm still learning the little extra ins and outs.

trouble with my pooter... now solved was -

Category 4 (Severe):

Dangerous threat type, difficult to contain. The latest virus definitions should be downloaded immediately and deployed.

1) Wild: High

and

2) Damage or Distribution: High


I'm glad that part of my torment is up.

I love her.

With every fiber of my being.

She means the world to me, better than Ice cream, kung fu, and Walt Whitman all rolled together.

for me, that's saying a heck of a lot.

I'm going to bed. nitey nite folks!
