Does Professor Charo go "coochie-coochie-coochie" and play the guitar?

Upon making my grocery list, the word "Bleach" looks funny to me. Flood watch is over, but the rain is still a-comin' down. I hope that more lovely wet heads to those who need it, too.

Newt was very talkative and active early this morning, so I'm up and about. I suspect a little midday nap is in my future. He's not usually such a fussbudget, but was happy when I played with him for about 20 minutes. He's now asleep, and I'm wide awake.

"Viewers are confronted with a blinking cursor. As they type, rooms begin to take shape in the form of a two-dimensional plan, similar to a blueprint. The architecture is based on a semantic analysis of the viewer's words, reorganizing them to reflect the underlying themes they express. The apartments are then clustered into buildings and cities according to their linguistic relationships."

There's a new Skeletor and Gang, #16. I never made the Will Smith / Skeletor connection before.

There's some LJer guy who likes to dress up as a female anthropomorphic she-rabbit, but I couldn't locate it in order to make whatever joke might result. Suffice to say, genetics is a pretty amazing field, but I'm not sure about this particular dance.

Sunup isn't for another hour or so, but I can hear the world outside waking up, with the night-sounds being replaced by those of the day. it's quiet enough that road traffic is perceptible over the rained-on roads outside, wheels cutting through the film of water that's settled on the surface, and is pooling in tiny nooks and crannies of the asphalt. Night-insects like crickets have given way to some early rising birds beginning to twitter a bit... I wonder how many of the former were gobbled up by the latter.

I reckon I'll try laying down and reading a trifle... try to shut my eyes before the room fills with the dawn.

until later, dear journal.

Around 9:30 this morning some dingleberry came knocking on Frankie's door, and was persistent about it to wake me from a deep sleep. After the guy knocked and pounded at the guy's door for about 5 minutes, (maybe more... who knows how long before he woke me) I called out to him to knock it off, which he did. I fell back asleep a moment later, and it's possible (though not likely) that it was a dream, and I never woke up.

Was planting vineyards a part of the crusades? You need to have wine nearby if you want to transubstantiate... or is wine ubiquitous enough that it didn't matter by that point?

Considering how much Danny likes mermaids and the area where we live, I'm surprised he's never been to Weeki Wachee... Maybe I'll take him there for his birthday or Christmas this go-'round. Make a day of it and then swing by Busch Gardens afterwards. (I haven't been to BG in years.) He's not a big one for the roller coasters, though...I suspect he'd like to jaunt up to Tampa for a day and just goof off.

Google calculator is good random fun. (personally, one Newton is at least 17 lbs of force, but he doesn't know he's a unit of measure, too)

latraviata and zoe might dig the "What's inside your purse" page. It does satisfy some level of nosiness in me... I was surprised by the lack of tampons, and it pleases me to see that someone carries playing cards. That's got a real charm in my eyes. entertaining, you can share and invite friends to join you, or use them alone. They don't rely on electricity, and everyone knows how to play some kinds of game, be it war, or fish, or solitaire.

So tidy, too. If I carried a purse, there'd be all sorts of wacky clutter in there.
