8345 - My brain feels the size and disposition of 5th century Mongolia.

Sleep brings colors to my mind that mean nothing to the human eye.

Minor confession - When I log into multi-player shooters, If I wish to be the antagonist of the other players, I have an ID known as "Chapeau Noir", and I type messages in a pseudo-French accent.

"AW-haw haw! Zee worm has turn-ed, has it not, monsieur?" Otherwise, If I'm playing but not looking to antagonize anti-frenchies, I'm just plain ol' Scotto or Scottobear.

Woke up from sleep, and had a weird feeling that I was isolated...and that there was a hurricane coming. I was feeling a bit more panic that I do when a Hurricane is *really* coming. It passed a short time after I started the shower... very little trepidation now, though if I didn't have the doc's appointment later in the day, I probably would've called in sick to work. Since the office is right up the street, I'll see how I do this morning. Still having some hot flashes, but no stuffy nose/cough or whatnot sort of symptoms.

I wonder if it's a side effect of reading - Sketches of a catastrophe - Miami Herald's Hurricane info.

Your best bet: Plan for the worst

When will we see the next Andrew? Data can confuse

Electricity and other utilities

Storm surge

Wind damage

Inland flooding

My biggest concern is a lack of clean water and electricity for *months* should a bad one hit. I can stock up on food, and I feel that my building is pretty sturdy.

mom and I have been trying to diagnose you....mom thinks it's either your ear, like an inner ear infection where there's no pain or your blood pressure is being wonky.
I think it sounds like you have dude-O-pause. hahahahaha!

whatever it is, we hope you get to feeling better soon.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I think it's my CPAP - waiting to get it replaced today. We'll see how I do once that gets properly installed!

haha... Dude-o-pause!

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

*snuggles and calming vibes* that should help with the panic and isolation. plus, i can always use some snuggles too :).

what's a cpap?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Thanks!



Nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure ) delivers air into your airway through a specially designed nasal mask. The mask does not breathe for you; the flow of air creates enough pressure when you inhale to keep your airway open.

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

i remember now. thanks.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Hopefully you haven't forgotten what cuddles are like! ;)

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

ummmmm. not to sure on that one. it has been entirely too long. i remember snuggles in theory....does that count?

incidentally..."Snuggles!!!" is my battle cry. (must be made in an odd high pitched, clenched teeth, dwarf on helium kind of a voice. i'll do it for you one day.)

oh, i need to find a restaurant that is veggie friendly, can accommodate groups comfortably, and hopefully has a patio for smoking....any ideas? i'm leaning towards mi casa su casa on griffin.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Nice battle cry! I look forward to hearing it.... it must send the critters a-runnin'!

have you visited subline yet? i'm not sure how smoker-friendly it is...

http://www.sublimeveg.com/

of course, there's always Mango's on Las Olas... they've got a few veggie salads on the menu, too

http://www.mangosonlasolas.com/ourmenuapp.htm

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

hmmm. sublime seems interesting, if a bit expensive/fancy for my taste...i think i'll skip on mangos. they seem to have a lot of seafood, and i get queasy at the smell of most of it. got anything a bit further south & west? it's going to be hell to get my mom to show if i stay local, but she'll skip out altogether if i go too far away. the idea of a group dinner my put her off too; she's a bit anti-social.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

hm...

something in southwest, eh?

How about a thai place, maybe?

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

i'm trying to get a good sized group together...so something really ethnic might make it harder...maybe i'll just go with mi casa su casa...but i don't really want mexican. arg. birthdays were easier when i didn't celebrate.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Well, most places are fairly veggie friendly, maybe outback? They make a mean pasta and or sweet potato. :)

I want you to have a happy b'day!!

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

well, i am hoping to get someone to drive me around all night, so maybe sublime would work...i'll drop an e-mail to my other veggie friends and get their input too, then i'll put it to a vote.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I look forward to seeing what comes up... I'm always interested in hearing aobut other yummy critter-free food!

random trivia: i was a lacto-ovo veg for 5 years. my undoing? i started a job at IHOP...breakfast meats are as tasty as they are disgusting.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

bacon is appealing, even knowing the origins of it!

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

true true. ever been to buca de bepo (sp?) it may have to be added to the list. italian is always flexible...

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

never been! italian is the new american, I think. :)

we're going to assume it's not his cousin. :)

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

awwww. hulk is cute :)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

He is! He wants a big ol' Huggin'!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

How was the doctor Hulk?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

hee... nice howdy there! icon!

Hulk tired. Doctor give Hulk a revised scrip for a sleep study to reevaluate cpap and such.

It aso turns out tha tI'm allergic to wheat, egg whites, corn and a host of other things tha tI consume regularly. Time for a drastic diet change.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Oh no that's a lot of food groups there! UGH. HULK SMASH!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

It's Clobberin' Time!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Wait that's supposed to be my character--I've got the little black kitty---you are Hulk :P.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Hee.. but I don't have any hulk icons!

Maybe some other big brute will come along with an orange kitty. :)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I stand corrected!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Ooooh prettty icon. Where on earth did you get that?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

some Thing tells me you know!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I woulda probably wished for a field---but a field with blooming Reese's Cup Flowers woulda been cool too :D


Unless the sun shone---damn logic.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

make 'em solar-resistant cups, and you're set!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

That's pretty preposterous---who ever heard of solar resistant Reese's Cup flowers? Regular ones--sure but solar resistant is a total figment :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well hershy does make "tropical chocolate"



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_military_chocolate

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I don't believe it--total myth---total military propaganda! Just like the Suez canal---they say it exists but has anyone ever seen it? nooooooooooo

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's not like it's made in the mythical state of Wyoming or anything.

[acoolsecretary.livejournal.com]

About the minor confession. Have you seen "A Fish Called Wanda?" I rest my case. I may have to start playing games online. :)

Sleep apnea?????

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

It works well! Talk alll outragously french and it distracts the others .. give you an edge. :)

[acoolsecretary.livejournal.com]

Uh huh! I'm sure it does. I can talk "Southern" pretty dayem good too!
