With Blogs Like These Who Needs Anemones?
Dontcha just love Finding Nemo**? I know I do.
Time for a blog. This one is just going to be random thought tidbits.
Cryovolcanism - these, cryovolcanoes, are my Geological Landforms Of The Week (or, GLOTW, if you will). There may be some cryovolcanic activity happening on Titan and since I am planning on retiring there, I try to learn as much as I can about it.
...better take the ear muffs. AND the...
iMuffs - I don't know why, but I never realized how much I want an iPod (no, I do not have one yet) until they came out with these for some reason.
Clouseaux - is playing tomorrow at the Continental Club. That will definitely be a fun show. :)
I bought appliances for my new house the other day. I still have not decided on a name for the house though. It is much tougher than I thought it would be. I have trouble being decisive with my creativity. Also attributed to this idiosyncrasy are:
- the fact that my son was not named until he was 48 hours old (despite the 40 weeks I had prior to him being born), and,
- my lack of tattoos.
K. That's all.
**(The subject of this entry is a play on the punchline to the joke Marlon keeps trying to tell in Finding Nemo - I don't actually know what the joke is, but I do know that it has something to do with mollusks and sea cucumbers...?? :P )

How To Make Pie According To A 5 Year Old
"First you put the bread down. [necessary visual aid: said 5 year old is motioning with his hands that you are to line the pie plate with "the bread"]
Then you just melt the cherries or blueberries or whatever flavor your pie can be.
Then you shape the bread in a funky way and put it on top and then it makes pie."

Unsettling
Unsettling Dream #1: My son with a badly broken arm -
Last night I had a dream that my little boy fell off of some playground equipment and broke his arm. I spent the duration of the dream screaming about needing to get him to the doctor, but somehow never made it to one before the dream was over.
This is not that surprising when you take into account that yesterday, in actuality, he got hurt pretty badly at the park. He ran full speed into a horizontal 8" - 10" diameter pipe with his face. Everything at that park is painted brown which seems to kinda camouflage the equipment, so he didn't even see it. His cheek swelled up ENORMOUSLY at first and then I got the swelling down with an ice pack we had in the lunch box we took for our picnic. Today he just has a slightly swelled cheek consisting of 57 bruisey colors. He is waiting for the green. Green is his favorite. Pobrecito. :(
Anyway, the dream was unsettling. I have vivid recall of his gimpy arm that was just dangling at impossible angles because of being broken. ::shudder::
Unsettling Dream #2: Someone is trying to kill me (and the DWM chicas) -
Then I had another dream last night in which Roland from the Dark Tower was trying to kill me and the other two Dan Workman gals. We were very stealthy though and he never did catch us although it was action-packed with tons of close calls. It was a lot like an action movie...hmmm, now that I think about it, it really was like that. Coool.
It was very long, highly detailed, and I remember every freaky second of it.
The weirdest part was this one time when Roland was chasing and very close to catching me (I was by myself at that moment as the other DWM girls and I had agreed to split up and employ the 'divide and conquer' method) - all of a sudden he turned into a length of metal chain rope. He wasn't able to be very threatening as the rope, and I took that as an opportunity to grab him (as a metal chain) and smack him against the ground as hard as I could. Over and over again. I figured that as long as I kept smacking him against the ground (still in chain form) that he'd never be able to switch back into a predatory human again. So I had to keep at it. It was very tiring, but I was happy that I was "winning" this particular battle against evil.
I've said too much, haven't I?? Oh yeah right. Like YOU don't have weird dreams.
Puh-leeeez. :P

R.O.T.S.S. and podkilting...ooops, I mean podcasting
How much does this rule??
Leo and Patrick on podcast! Leo and Patrick on podcast! It is the GREATEST THING EVER!!!
Okay, sorry, I'm a little excited.
R.O.T.S.S. stands for Revenge of The Screen Savers for those of you that are feeling very confused. I have extremely fond memories of The Screen Savers (computer/tech help program) when it was all nice and happy on the once great TechTV. 90 minutes per night. Live calls on-air. Man that was the stuff.
:) :) ::siiiiiiiiiiiigh:: :) :)
No, the podcast has zero to do with kilts...why do you ask???? 
So now they are back together and it is really great. Thank you MMT for the heads up!
::after reacquainting myself with the crew via some of the links I've provided here::
...Yoshi AND Patrick are married (not to each other)?!?!? Sheesh, why are all of the best geeks taken?
grrrrrrrrr.

Bramasole
See? This is why I never watch movies. A few days ago, just after I signed all of the contracts for MY new house, I watched Under the Tuscan Sun and realized that what I really want to do is move to Tuscany and live in a 300 year old villa.
NOW what am I supposed to do??
Just kidding. I love my new house.
AND I am now officially accepting any ideas for affordable (but groovy) home decor, furnishing, or appliance resources.
I am thinking of a name for my house as well. I don't see why we can't name our homes over here - they do it in Europe (and in other countries) all of the time.

Useless Geek Profundity
If we could all go into the System Tools of our minds and periodically run a Disk Defrag, would anybody have Alzheimer's disease?
