Had to swap out my weather.com magnet on my user info page as it was expiring, and they only offer Javascript for it now.. since LJ hates any external scripting for security reasons, I had to go with wunderground. (I would've used weather pixie, but it's down half the time.)

Slow starting this morning...I think the body caught up on the slumber it lost the other night. It looks like a couple of my vampire children from the game have gone dormant. Interesting little location, a graveyard southeast of Larch and 50th. "One fresh grave particularly stands out. Here Lies Pazuzu. Brother We Hardly Knew Ye."

I like to play fishy, too. (hint, download it, so you can play it while off the net.)

Still no word from Brother regarding a trip to the movies. Dan's not in the best of moods, not feeling sociable.. I'll hear back from him in a little while, but I'm guessing not much is going to happen with him today.

Ok, the hunting for bambi guy admitted it's a hoax, at last.

LAS VEGAS - A promoter who offered to take men on "Hunting for Bambi" safaris in which they could hunt down naked young women with paintball guns admitted that it was a hoax designed to sell videos, the mayor says.

Michael Burdick found himself in the crosshairs of women's groups after he told a Las Vegas TV station that he was selling reservations to men willing to pay $5,000 to $10,000 for the safari experience.


Las Vegas officials investigated and found that the purported safaris were nothing but a hoax to promote the "Hunting for Bambi" videos that Burdick sells. The videos show nude women being hunted by men.

The footage in the videos "was all staged," Mayor Oscar Goodman said Thursday. "There were actors and actresses and there wasn't even the real shooting of paint balls."

Burdick did not immediately respond Friday to messages from The Associated Press, but he had previously insisted that the hunts were real.

John Redlein, an assistant city attorney, said Burdick offered the hunts at high prices to discourage bookings, and told investigators his Internet site could not even accept credit card charges in the amount necessary to reserve a hunt.

"He's told us in great detail ... that it's a scam to sell videotapes," Redlein said.

A report on Burdick's "Hunting for Bambi" first aired July 10 on KLAS. Burdick staged a paintball hunt for the station's camera crew, city officials said.

a year ago - some missing pictures, wondering about my eyes, watching TV, evil news, some palm pics, Newt pics

2 years ago - senescence, thegosis, arrival as a pod, loving thoughts

3 years ago Buds for lunch (I'll miss that rare treat), dealing ok with winding down.

Soft rains coming down, not so heavy that it stopped folks from being outside, but heavy enough that I can hear water on the glass. Still no word back from the crew, so it's looking like not much is going to happen today. Looks like a good day to curl up with a book.

Earlier, I heard what I thought was my neighbor out front screeching in anger, but turned out to be a visiting boy who hasn't had his glands drop yet. He must've been 10 or so, but sounded for the life of me like a young woman.

Something about LJ that amazes me is the national diversity of folks on my list here. Off the top of my head, there's Canada, UK, Korea, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, not to mention folks all over the USA.

Just for fun...


I dig that they brought out Dr. Light for teen titans, though Trigon isn't my fave. Interesting that the Fearsome Five have all been given "youth potions" and renamed hive. gizmo, mammoth and jinx, now Dr. Light (still older). You can really see where Marv Wolfman's influence is poking through.

Just too a mental leap from Hive's Gizmo, to Invader Zim's Spider pack, to Doctor Octopus. I wonder if there were any other mainstream folks that hang from a backpack by four extensor-tentacles?

If they decide to do "Spider-man Three, in 3-D" (a la Jaws, Friday the 13th and Spy Kids), they'd better use Mysterio. (That'll keep with them using dead villains that dress in green and purple as the main foil, too.) Optical illusions, Psychedelic gas, freaky costume with eyes as a cloak holder and opaque head-dome.
