6538 mushrooms with top-hats, tap-dancing on spider legs

It's interesting seeing my entries read via other people's pages...different colors and fonts do seem to make a difference. I get quite an alternate vibe just by a subtle change in style.

I'm in a quiet mood this morning... more interested in playing with Newt than writing in my journal.

this morn's music- club977 streaming 80s tunes

Today's Photo Friday - Morning (I haven't submitted one yet.)

Las Olas Wine and Food Festival last night from 7-9 pm... got to see them setting up on the constitutional home. A bunch of folks drinking the night *after* St. Patty's? I'd think most folks would still be wearing ice packs from the night prior. At least it benefits the American Lung Association.

Free Itunes codes for anyone who wants 'em (though I would like to know what songs were obtained with 'em, if you'd care to leave a post in the comments section.) email me, and I'll throw you a couple. (I have 7 caps now, so 3 to the first person, 2 to the second, 1 code to the third and fourth responder.) Must redeem 'em by 4/30/04.

6540 - dear latest lj spammer...friday five

Very clever of you to spam in a *reply* to a comment in my journal, rather than the entry itself (from comcast's 24.62.254.122 in entry 6483, to be exact.)

I don't know what flowers and gift baskets have to do with an entry about Newt
the cat and thin-mint cookies, though, so you will remain screened. My only concern is that spammers will start dropping luncheon-meat on other people commenting in my journal.

But, in the meantime, Neener neener, spammer!

Of course, now I want to go right home and curl up with Newt and some cookies.

I'm going ot be on call all weekend, but I'm within safe range to breakfast with at Einstein's tomorrow. I'll have the clipboard with me, and by the time I get all the info, I'll be inside my home-office online.

I think I'll get a "big box o' bagels & schmear" to ride out the weekend with.

Friday Five...

If you...

1. ...owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?

Snacks you can eat with your hands. Veggie platters / Cookies / Cheese / fingerfoods / etc. Tasty, and I don't have to wash silverware!

2. ...owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?

Handmade art, homemade herbal tea, shrunken heads, weird toys & curios

3. ...wrote a book, what genre would it be?

modern fiction with a few twilight-zone elements - twist ending, weird science

4. ...ran a school, what would you teach?

mythology, monkey politics, logic

5. ...recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?

a lot of novelty stuff, maybe a spoken-word thing... a comic/album combo for "Gorilla Girl IN STEREO!" if I could get my beloved, Gray Pumpkin, Katt, Danny, and myself all in the same studio. Maybe I could drag in some other pals for voicework, too.

Use the location search (on your home address) to find those who live near you that have made presidential campaign contributions. You can also search for friends or celebrities by name.

very enlightening... I think it's interesting that a lawyer near me has donated to 3 different democratic candidates!

6542 before bedski

My City of Heroes prelim CD came today.. man, it looks even better than the other previews have hinted at. Maybe I can lure in a few other folks, along with Whims and Rik.

Danny's got a dental issue, so we might not get together for breakfast... Dentist in the morning, and then a 1:30 appointment. Disappointing, but see the music.

Christopher Eccleston has been named as the new Doctor Who to front the cult BBC sci-fi show when it returns next year.

( Obligatory Newt Pic behind a cut )

His head looks big, while his feet look small. He dares to defend my collection of Itunes bottle caps, and a couple of leftover Subway sandwich shop napkins.
