The idea was "trapped in a bathroom, with only a roll of TP and a magic marker to keep you entertained..."

Crank yankers mostly sucks. (one good skit, four lame ones.) I hope that lame show gets replaced by something worthy of the timeslot.

I'm impressed at how funny south park was tonight, though.

please don't worry about nt7... Yesterday morning the probability that it would collide with the Earth was one in 60,000. But by the end of the day, when a new set of observations had come in, the odds against a collision had risen to one in 75,000.

in happier news... the Fortean Times website is back online.. ahh... how I've missed it.

Package & letter sent off to my sweetheart... I hope she likes them! I think she will.

Hmm... reading James Ellroy's "LA Quartet" Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, and White Jazz... so far, it's certainly his best work. (Reading Nowhere now... I'm glad that I took Robin's Recommendation... I initially didn't want to read them, because his later books are really kinetic, written in a telegraphic style that can go for paragraphs, pages, without a complete sentence. ("12:45. Buzz McCall on the Simmons roust. Goose egg on McKibben. Nothing yet from that lazy fat fuck in Ballistics. Hit the street and out to the Valley to brace the shine at his fuck pad." Etc... I've seen people's journals here written on the same level. bleh.)

Occasionally I got the giggles when reading in that format, which I don't think is what he had in mind. That said, Dudley Smith is one scary guy. I'd cross the street if I knew he was coming, not that it would help.

Other things I'm currently stumbling over...Pennsylvania Dutch Hex signs.

It isn't her cup size or complexion, though she is ample and lily-white. Oh, she is quite pretty. She is visually stunning, in fact. Seeing her in a flowing skirt and a Indian-fabric blouse is surely a wonder. Her hair is a delightful tangle of red cascading down her neck and shoulders, a strand of silver here and there, if not hidden by the salon. Her mouth is wide, the lips full, her dark eyes clear and intense. Her face is washed by sorrow and joy, like a stone made smooth by water. Compassion, it says. There is her beauty. The way she holds herself, the way her eyes move, effortlessly, without a trace of affectation or cruelty, everything about her won me. Hers is the secret face I put myself to sleep by.

The moon is full tonight and very nice lookin'!

We will also be able to see the International Space Station with the naked eye between now and mid-August. Neat.

Oh, the humanity... bear-lynching... there ought to be a law, I say!

From Yahoo! News:

Blind German psychic Ulf Buck feels the buttocks of a client during a session in his study room in the northern German village of Meldorf near Hamburg July 15, 2002. Clairvoyant Buck claims that people's backsides display lines like those on the palm of the hand, which can be read to reveal much about their character and destiny.

No. Really. There's a picture and everything. I'm surprised it's not in the "most viewed" yet, but it will be. It is number one in most emailed.

Q: How much is pirate corn?

A: A buccaneer.

Pirate cardiac arrest: "Arrrr! Me hearty!"

Sunset on the bus, Wednesday night. Not bad for poor light and moving. It's 600 wide... I wonder if that's too big for friend's pages?

Upside, I've found that msn allows for free image hosting...nifty.

Hmm. Maybe it's time for a travelogue this weekend... "Scotto's trip to *BLANK*" (In Gene Rayburn voice)

Ow... ow ow ow ow ow...

no no no no no..

not for the squeamish. I mean it. Really.

*stomps around the house, going *ow ow ow ow ow*

Deliberately?

ow.

Went to All Books and Records with the bro... he got the spider-man ps2 game for a song (direct trade for street fighter 3....) and I got a copy of The Big Book of the Weird Wild West... he had things to do today, so we parted company there, and I went on to Past Present Future. Sadly, they had no copies of UA2 left in stock, but they'll hold one and call me when it comes in. I did get gifties for the office however...The Essential Spider-Man, Volume 1, The Essential Fantastic Four Volume 1, Essential Hulk, and Essential Dr. Strange. That should keep Kevin, Karen, and myself busy for a while during the slow-compile, data-crunching times. I added a couple of those to my wish list, too...just so I can remember to order myself the Howard the duck collection. Waugh! Next time I send off a goodie bag, I'm going to get a few of the used things for myself. (No point in paying $4 shipping for a $4.50 book.)

Here's the trip I took today...not bad... about 13 miles round trip(with shortcuts and bus travel not counting). a healthy haul (mind you, I had a nice shopping breather twice in between. It was a nice enough day that I didn't take the bike too far on the bus... but it was nice to know that the option was there if I'd tuckered out. Needless to say, I did shortcut through the park on the way home, so you can shave about a mile off there. I'm bone tired now, but feel good after having had a nice shower.

A Picture of a squirrel from Holiday Park. He was drinking from a puddle, and I barely had time to catch him. I'm happy that I snapped him in motion!

The ride was *much* more pleasant on the way back... it was cooling off, instead of the noon-oven. *Worn out*

nap time for an hour... looking forward to sweetie-time tonight.

Misc drawings and piccies from today, and last night.

a lot! you've been warned. mouse over the pictures for minor commentary.
