breathe thick nighttime air
moving through soft atmosphere
rapid flight to dreams
A priceless slug-eating plant has been stolen from a nursery in Austria.
It's hoped the flesh-eater has been taken by pranksters rather than rival botanical geneticists.
Fresh from the shower, and ready for action!
Well, once I finish dressing for the day, anyhow. I generally leave the most outer-layer of clothes off until I have to get going.
Penis explodes during sex.
Ambulance Chasers with style Hee... I like the map to the office. (has some sound)
Newt's a chatterbox today... I can say something, and he'll MoW! or MeR! back with gusto. Looks like the little boy wants another chase around the place.
Now that that's been done, it's time to water the plants! Hey! Sprouts!
First appearance of basil. :)
The catgrass has sprung up overnight!
Dexter shares my fondness for birkenstock footwear
Hey, mom... do some fun stuff... enough programming, ok? maybe pick up some of those computer bits, and chase the kitty!
The interior of Chupacabra's old computer
even a roach chooses death to her company. yuck!
Slugs and other pests cost agriculture billions of pounds each year so a copy could be worth a fortune. A predator plant could also make many poisons redundant.
Useful energy from random vibrations
A question for the physicists... Just how much energy could you theoretically get from these things? There's plenty of sources for the motive force - just put banks of them under freeway overpasses and between train tracks. But could they be made cheaply enough and placed densely enough to make them really useful?
For instance, could you fit enough of them inside a jet airliner wing to power the plane's electrical systems from the engine vibrations and turbulence? Could you use them near the tires of electric cars to supplement the battery power?
Or provide power to a city by the screams of those who encounter the zombies in the tunnels below?
the more I play the freedom force demo, the more impressed I am with the range of powers and stats available. This is a *complete* replication of Champions, without all the rules-lawyering, and cool 3d effects. I would really like to see this exact same engine charge up more games in the future, and the fan skins are a hoot.
the only thing they seem to need to implement is more objects, and a way to grab and throw enemies. (or use them like a weapon... I miss the old days of champions, using a guy in power-armor as a club against some big burly fella in a rhino suit.) and maybe a better environment design kit.
My beloved is taking Saturday off to chill and relax after her hectic week...I'm contemplating going on walkabout while she rightfully lounges the day away.
What I'd really like to do is to go with Dan up to Grad night (tomorrow at Disney world, from 9pm to 4:30 am)... If I could get a ride up, I'd be surrounded by a bunch of graduating seniors at the haunted mansion. hmm... could be keen. I won't be going, though.
Now I want to play my old duke nukem at disney mod... I wonder if it's still at doombuggies? why, yes!...hee. speaking of which...check out all the rides that are becoming movies, now. Hmm... sort of the SNL school of movie making.. take a 2 minute ride or sketch, and stretch it out to two hours or so...bah. I will still check out the country bear flick.
To kill a vampire it is first necessary to determine its ethnic origin. I regret that I cannot offer much useful information on how this might be accomplished, but I'm sure you'll think of something.
Next, locate the vampire's daytime whereabouts, i.e., its grave. My vampire manual recommends placing "a young lad who is innocent of girls," such as Richard Simmons, atop a black virgin stallion, and leading the two through a likely graveyard. If the horse refuses to pass a certain grave, you've hit paydirt, so to speak. The telltale signs of a vampirous corpse are fluidity of the blood, lack of putrefaction, and flexibility of the limbs (we're talking about corpses now, mind you).
Finally, administer treatment as prescribed below:
SPECIES - COUNTRY - APPROVED METHOD OF DISPOSAL
Sampiro - Albania - Stake through heart
Nachtzehrer - Bavaria - Place coin in mouth, decapitate with ax
Ogoljen - Bohemia - Bury at crossroads
Krvoijac - Bulgaria - Chain to grave with wild roses
Kathakano - Crete - Boil head in vinegar
Brukalaco - Greece - Cut off and burn head
Vampir - Hungary - Stake through heart, nail through temples
Dearg-dul - Ireland - Pile stones on grave
Vryolakas - Macedonia - Pour boiling oil on, drive nail through navel
Upier - Poland - Bury face downwards
Gierach - Prussia - Put poppy seeds in grave
Strigoiul - Rumania - Remove heart, cut in two; garlic in mouth, nail in head
Vlkoslak - Serbia - Cut off toes, drive nail through neck
Neuntoter - Saxony - Lemon in mouth
Vampiro - Spain - No known remedy
I realize the above will not be much use in the case of a Third World vampire, but you can't have everything.
I love her so much! just the sound of her voice sends me into a combination tizzy of laughter, warmth, and happiness. The vcr timer is set to record DBZ for my beloved tomorrow at 1pm. (vcr is set, but it says there's a courage marathon on. I'll record just in case.) I hope she has a good time tomorrow, out and about.
My bro called me up to tell me that he's going to give me some bigtime dinero back that I lent him...all right! (I loan him $ without though of when or if it'll come back.. so when it does, it's like found money.) looks like he's going to get a haircut for it.... that'll be odd... weird seeing him with a trim. I bet he'll look good. we're going to hang out tomorrow, go shopping at the bookstore and maybe swing by target... I'm totally enthused about seeing him...he sounds healthy and solid. He's also going to buy himself a sony playstation... which he'll appreciate more in a year, when I buy a dvd burner. (Can playstation play vcds? I can burn those, now) if you'd like to join us, I'll be here at about noonish-twoish. If you can't make it, I'm sure that photos will be taken.
Supper tonight is curried rice and veggies with a couple of bottles of Killian's. a fine, fine supper for a friday night. spicy, smooth, and fragrant. Newt is very curious about it... but none for the boy. I should put curry in the herb garden.... it's a gift from nature that I'm delighted to have found. I wonder how hard it is to grow? I'm already planning on adding lavender and patchouli to my window box.
aye, 'twas a Courage-a-thon. sweetie is out of anime luck... time to dig a bit for her other faves.
had a nice afternoon with the bro, he got a work windfall, so he paid me $200 back, and picked himself up a ps2, and a boxing 2002 game. (I got him grand theft auto 3, because he deserves a good car /shooter game.) we met at the bookstore, where I burned up my birthday gift card on a great book of free verse. (a book of free verse costs $19 american... so much for free)
bro was hungry to play his games so we cut it short, and I went to einsteins' bagels for lunch. tasty goodness.
ok... we got tenchi, cowboy bebop, and all of sat night's adult swim set to record. (I also programmed myself justice league and sealab 2021.)
cats and dogs is on hbo... oh my.... I never did get to see it before. it's cute!
The Phantom Patriot-
Wearing a skeleton mask, body armor and a costume emblazoned with the words "Phantom Patriot," a man infiltrated the 2,700-acre Bohemian Grove, site of a secretive annual retreat featuring some of the most powerful men in the United States. He was arrested after a brief stand-off with police, and later told investigators he was prompted to act after hearing a Texas-based radio talk-show host discuss possible child sacrifice at the site.
