Hey, a Firefly/Serenity ornament! - not a bad nerd thing to get for kev, maybe, seeing as he has a bunch of the star trek/star wars ones for the tree already.

Post-walkies really wore me out yesterday... when I got back home, I had a little nap - which turned into a 5-hour long torpor. After I woke up, I did some errands, came back home again, and crashed hard, again, for another 5 hours... only to hit the sack early, in the hopes of fully charging my very drained batteries. Perhaps I'm getting sick? I don't't feel ill, just weary.

---

I'm feeling well-rested now, but how will I be doing in 2 hours, into the droning, moaning, Monday morning meeting of Doo-OO-oom?

I wonder how many people in the USA actually get President's Day off... is it more or less than Martin Luther King Day? Unless you're a bank or government office, I suspect the workplace is active .

I dreamt that I was watching an episode of Lost, and thinking it was really boring.. Until it turned out that Ed Asner was going to be a new character on the show, and he was a master of Kung Fu, (hanks to CGI, I guess...)The season finale of the show had a large incident killing off most of the major characters, and let the counter go down to zero, prompting the launch of the island into space. It's still a tropical island, but it has a huge transparent dome over the top for outside shots, sort of like silent running.

Somehow, I didn't remember that "Lost: in Space" was already a show... and one that I liked a lot, to boot.

The show went from being live-action to a cartoon in a fairly modern style, narrated by Asner and followed the Quantum Leap / LIS pattern of "We encounter weird situations, must fix them for the Dharma Agency, while trying to communicate with the psychic kid to guide them home." I was thinking that all of the leads that were killed probably left the show at that point.

I was both saddened and relieved that it was just a dream when I woke up this morning. I'm really all for a dramatic/weird version of Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space.(mp3) Maybe toss in a few musical numbers, some toon-babes, a lovable coward, a muscle head and a speech impeded, yet talking version of Vincent will make things complete.

hm. Maybe I'm more under the weather than I thought. Classic Josie was a lot more fun, theme-wise.(mp3)

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
in a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face

And I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind, the fact that me,
an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome
should be the star of a Hollywood movie

But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
In front of every kind of girl, there was
black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...

Out of the middle came a lady
She whispered in my ear something crazy
She said:

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

12. best time of the year: Autumn
13. weirdest food you like: food shaped like things that it isn't. (Animal Crackers, Pancakes shaped like Mickey Mouse, Tofu disguised as a chicken nugget)

8. an interesting fact about you: Like Brewmeister Schmidt, I could crush your head like a nut. But I won't... because I need you.

Strange Brew by any chance?

Excellent film! One of my favourite movies.

Might watch it tonight now that you've posted that.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

go for it! it's a classic!

Wow! Rainbow pigeons are magical! In reading about them, it doesn
t seem that being rainbow-fied hurts them in any way, right? The man seems quite attached to the little guys. They're like flyng Skittles. I would love to see them myself.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

They don't seem to be harmed by the dye job, most folks that care for pigeons are pretty loing, from what I've seen.

[weezeroni.livejournal.com]

What a cool thing.

[boopydoodle.livejournal.com]

Well I could've had President's Day off if I still worked for the City! But alas, I chose the private sector and soooooooo glad I did!!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm happy that you're happy! :D

[boopydoodle.livejournal.com]

Thanks Scotto!

No day off for me. Not sure if all State employees have to work today, or if it's just because we're attached the the University that I'm sitting here, rather than at home. Federal counterparts get the day off though. :( Luckies.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Ah well, Fed usually win in those sorts of events.

And to think that I always sang that song like this: "Spill the wine, dig that girl" Of course, I am kidding, that song came out when I was in High School and holds certain memories.

I want me some rainbow pigeons.

ossie also lives in Deer Beach.

That is quite the dream state you find yourself in. I love those types of dreams.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I've crossed lj-paths with ossie before.. I think he was in boca raton last I heard (which is right no my north border now.)
