f-in' a, man. *snort*

Weirdo dreams last night... I dreamt that I was a professional shopper.. one of those guys that goes to stores, buys something, and then appraises the salespeople. I was pretty nice overall, but got mad when a lady figured out who I was, and tried to bribe me with free hats.

Hmm.. I was hasty on judging the Newtcam dead... it looks ok this morn... I guess it's just spotty. (I'm still getting a new one, soon.)

Egads! There's a Cap'n Crunch and (even better) Jean La Foote action figure! I wonder if Jean'll be at the toy fair this thanksgiving.

Regarding the picture... It's my sweetheart and me working on the steam-powered battle tank... Let's see the zombies get through this! Undead meanies... if there are any mummies, they'll be dry enough to use for fuel!

The BBC has won a court case against the Metropolitan Police over the trademark of the TARDIS...er, police box.

ew... who makes a chocolate frosted apple-filled doughnut? I just ate it for breakfast...my bro brought me the doughnut last night... he went on a goodie run, and dropped it off late. Another perq of having him next door, to be sure! :)

I thought it'd be Bavarian cream or something. It's an unusual combination of flavors. not bad, just unexpected. it was a glazed, filled doughnut, with chocolate icing on top... you figure... custard or cream, right?

Wrong-o... Apple-cinnamon.

Nice sugar rush to follow, though, I'm sure. :)

Ok... off to work, Mr. Scotto, chocolate/apple gizzard guy.

The problem with having a lot of photography journals on your friends list is that some folks just don't lj-cut images that are extra wide.

Interesting new feature on lj... a list of folks popular with your friends. Who you might be interested in...The following friends are listed often by your friends, but not by you...

Hmm… certainly a little accounting for taste, there. I'd say that there are about three people on that list that I enjoy seeing "around"... and there are about fifteen people on there that I'm not crazy about... had on my list for a while, or know by indirect connection. There are a few wildcards though. Some folks I don't know at all are - debby, rillifane, thistimearound, coutlaw, gozar and beckmermaid. Oddly, the only community was lj_maintenance... I'd have thought that there'd be more. I'll peek in on them when time avails itself to me. Probably sometime in November. Thanks to latraviata for the linkie.

I'm glad that it seems that the snipers in Maryland have been caught... I hope that's the end of that horrible stress. One less thing for folks to worry about. That's a layer of the onionskin I can peel off. I hope that decompression continues... I feel a couple of weights remaining to be lifted.

I really like the Salem police department's shoulder patch. That's the real logo.

Random Scotto factoid - I associate scarecrows with ghosts, but I don't think of them as frightening. I feel that it's the arms outstretched perpendicular, strikes me more like a waiting and friendly embrace rather than something that's been crucified. Perhaps the ghost vibe comes from the old clothes involved in the production I think. The last costume I wore was a scarecrow, going to see Lenny Kravitz with Nicole and Heather... (They were The Wicked Witch and Dorothy, by the way... Both looked outstanding. I still have the floppy hat that I wore, somewhere.) I got some nice compliments when I went out with those two..."Way to go! Lucky Man!" People tended to assume I was dating one or both of them. They were funny... they'd make up stories about me, and then start to believe them… because of something I might have said offhand. I'd feed their imagination by never confirming or denying anything, instead, just leaving open-ended questions with replies that instead raised more queries.



Sweet dreams, dear journal. Or in the words of my pet skeleton...

and when I say good night
the pictures in my head
will dance around the room
and frolic in my bed
and when I say good day
they hide behind my eyes
waiting for the dreaming
to bring them back to life
