6552 trying for my pad again

Making another offer on the Astor condo. Deal sweeteners include me taking on the closing costs (about another $2k), and buy as is with the right to inspect. There really isn't much to inspect except for appliances and A/C units. Anything major is under the maint of the building.

Hmm... none of my LJ replies are making it back to me... will they be lost, or will they come flooding en masse sometime later? I've noticed that some folks have had that error in the past, but it hasn't been a problem for me in years. Funny, thing... thinking of LJ issues in yearly terms.

Waxy is a smart feller... The temptation to goof off at work got harder to resist. Text games via IM: Remember those old Infocom games? Zork, Planetfall, Adventure, etc. Now you can play them on AIM, even save games!

'Chimp Head'- Animatronic Mask Oh, man... I think the teeth need a little more carnivore appeal, but it's pretty awesome. (via)

a year ago - cool chemical reactions, pronunciation query, gael returns , and a pic of newt.

two years ago - Happy chats, urban ruins links, some website renewal ideas, old icons. I forgot about this one... I was rather fond of the effect.)

three years ago - Baron Munchausen, computer needs fixifying, Coconut song, Oscar Picks, Crayola Crayon color timeline

6553 - It's a good looking morning today!

I like it when the weather's cool, not too humid, with a little breeze. If I were living in a region further to the North, I'd suspect snow or a storm of some kind. The air isn't oceanic, but has a slight tinge of ozone to it.

The sky is gray, but there's a rip where the sunlight is just pouring through, and makes a lovely JHVH / Moses movie moment.

I'm still getting follow up posts to the Roanoke entry from two years ago -

Apparently, there is still quite a disagreement about how things went down in that region, at least with one fellow who keeps coming back. I look forward to perusing his book and seeing how his tale varies from other folks. (The tribe itself seems to support the research done, but perhaps a genetic test of some of the tribe is in order to set the record straight for any dissenters.)

Since we're on the subject -
