8301 - Good... Saturday?

[scottobear]

Dreamt that I was in Disney world chasing a shape-shifting Newton. Hippo, Crocodile, Puma, then Newt, depending on the tone of voice I was using to call to him, and what part of the magic kingdom we were in... mostly Haunted Mansion / Tiki Birds region. He seemed to stick with changing into other animals, but was always recognizable by me, somehow. I finally caught him at Pirates of the Caribbean, on the island with the impaled skeleton. (where the seagull is sitting).

Went with Danny out to Masamune, my first time there. The food was superb. I'd have to say the spicy tofu appetizer was the best I've ever had. I'll be going back pretty frequently, I suspect. I also had a cucumber roll, salad and tempura veggies. It was nice to have about 5 hours with Danny for the first time in an age.. he picked me up at work, did some shopping (I got a new UPS battery at the Depot, and he got a DVD at Barnes & Noble -The Quest for Fire.

Outside was a weird security tower/siege machine looking gizmo.

It seats one inside, has a light flasher on top, wind gauge, speakers on all sides, and can be elevated to about four stories or so. it seats one, and has a nice air conditioning unit on top, a swell as very dark-tinted windows. I wonder what purpose it serves in the parking lot? Some sort event there later?

We got to catch up.. I'm glad things are going quite a bit better for him and Jan, for the most part.

Freaky, sinister seeming Easter tradition in Spain - processions in classic pre-inquisition Christian garb.

Too bad we don't do this here, but I suppose some folks would confuse 'em for Klansmen.

- most found via substitute.

First episode of the new Dr. Who airs in the UK tonight! I wonder how long it'll take for it to be on the torrent sites? I'm guessing 3 hours after.

I don't think its something I'll ever get used to. I look at pictures and of me and I see what's wrong and think "god tha'ts how I look?"

I think girls in our culture tend to do that a bit and depsite being a free-thinker I fall prey to it.

I think there is a lot of cultural programming to overcome... I wasn't comfortable with how I looked for a while, to the point of being all Sean Penn about it in high school.

I'm glad you let a pic slip by here and again.

I like the new icon :D

Well I never mind letting people I know look at my pictures---I'll be the first to make a funny face and laugh but I think at heart I'm a bit of a shy person when it comes to people looking at me and doing some sort of evaulation of my traits. I'm a hypocite I know :D

nah, you're human is all :)

Thanks for leaning me ot the new icon.. I never realised that I tend to face the same direction when I take pics.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Probably because you are taking them yourself and you use the same hand to hold the camera?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

A good guess, detective, but not totally accurate. Some pics are taken with Newtcam, and others with handheld... though since they are all about the same field of vision, I do position myself accordingly!

Heh I saw your comments--I wish you could respond to comments on FLICKR directly but then i suppose it would just be LJ then.

The carving is Inuit at the Native American Museum--the night my friend Alan took me for the opening party (I wrote a bout it a long time ago in LJ I think).

Yes I do have rosy cheeks--unless they are covered in freckles. A spa owner once offered to help me get rid of my rosy cheeks via a facial treatment--but eh at least I don't have to wear makeup/blush.
