GeotargetJames Lipton on Conan Reciting PopoZao



More about Cargo Cults.



Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai (may you have wealth and prosper)! - and so begins another year of the dog.

I am an Earth Monkey, while Newt is an Earth Rabbit. (I suspect we have grown hair to match our signs.)

Ice Skating Monkeys!! (via beaucoupkevin)



Hobophobe was accepted as a term at the pseudodictionary. (thanks for the tip, photocentricRobert!)



The cleaning lady did an *awesome* job on my place yesterday, and didn't mind at all that I wanted the floors cleaned with vinegar to protect the tile (and Newt's possible tongue). I'm trying to decide how often to have her back. I'm leaning to about every three weeks right now.



Talked to CompUSA corporate, and the BS of the week is that they has to resubmit the request and failure report, and it should be shipping out on Monday, and it arriving on Wednesday or Thursday. My response was a request for an overnight like last time, because I would like to see my computer back before a quarter of a year passes from the time when I dropped it off. Rick said that he'll do his best to get them to do that, and I also requested that he get a tracking number so we can find out where the devil it's going. I know I live in the vicinity of the Bermuda triangle, but honestly, now.

I can and will warn any who ask about CompUSA's continued failure to succeed in this regard. I would really like to have it up and running before my birthday.

Let's see, the silver lining of having the computer packed up is more walkabouts (lending much to my current rubicund complexion as late) , got my apartment unpacked and clean and springtime fresh, now!



In news of the awesome, however: Zombie Astronaut is back and has five BBC airings / narrated by Christopher Lee - Listen to Christopher Lee's Fireside Tales



The Religious Affiliation of Comic Book Characters... So, Superman's a Methodist, eh? No mention of being a lapsed Raoist?

I had no idea there were so many Jewish superheroes. And I'm a bit surprised that Spiderman and Superman are not Jewish, given that surnames ending in "-man" so often are.

Perhaps that's why Gold and Silver of the Metal men don't use the man-postfix. Don't want to be confused for a local Goldman or Silverman!

Even though james lipton is kinda spooky, he's really awesome! He always makes me laugh, partly because you don't expect him to be such a good sport. That was great. Thanks for sharing!

James Lipton is pretty creepy, but I admire his love for the popozao.

WHITE
WHITES are motivated by PEACE, seek independence

and require kindness. They resist

confrontation at all costs. (Feeling good is

more important than being good.) They are

typically quiet by nature, they process

things very deeply and objectively, and they

are by far the best listeners of all the

colors. They respect people who are kind, but

recoil from perceived hostility or verbal

battle.

WHITES need their quiet independence and refuse to

be controlled by others. WHITES want to do

things their own way, in their own time. They

ask little of others, and resent others

demanding much of them. WHITES are much

stronger than people think because they dont

reveal their feelings. WHITES are kind,

non-discriminate, patient and can be

indecisive, timid, and silently stubborn.

When you deal with a WHITE, be kind, accept

(and support) their individuality, and look

for nonverbal clues to their feelings.

You Are Rain

You can be warm and sexy. Or cold and unwelcoming.
Either way, you slowly bring out the beauty around you.

You are best known for: your touch

Your dominant state: changing

Thanks. I needed a silver lining today.

Cheers! :D

Newt brought in some great little footy-prints form the dusty porch, but those were quickly taken care of. :D

You know how buddhists sometimes have the footprints of buddha on their graves---I always thought I'd have cat prints---similar in lots of ways.

I like that idea!

However, I plan on being mulched or ashed, so someone will have to set up a memorial marker of some sort without my body.

I've told my family to make as much money of my carcass as possible then to go on a cruise with it! I've told thme to sell me on Ebay if they have to!

Hmm... how much can you get, if you sold piecemeal?

I think it'd be sort of cool to know someone had a book bound or a drum covered with my skin. Heck, I'm not going to be using it, and if a burn victim doesn't require it, why not?

How much could I get for my body----probably not much at all.
Actually it'd probably be better off being donated to science.
I thought burn victims had to have skin from living recipients---I didn't know they could use cadaver skin now---cool!

I actually have that book--I just haven't figured out where I put it! I might have to break down and buy another copy.
