Tuesday : 14 February 2006
I didn’t sleep well last night, so getting up this morning was a bit onerous. But I did it. With the help of brew-before-you-go-to-work coffee. Once I got to work, I was alright. The day moved along nicely. Today’s workout was cut a little short, but it was a good one.

After work, however, the lack of sleep caught up to me… with a vengeance (but without Bruce Willis or Samuel L. Jackson). I sat down to watch a little television and was sound asleep within a few minutes. I woke up about two hours later. Having bid adieu to Morpheus and The Dreaming, I had dinner with ; we went to Z’Tejas. It was good; it had been a while since I had eaten there. I confused the waitress a bit when I ordered tea (“Earl Grey. Hot.”) with cream – she paused and blinked like she might have needed a reboot. She recovered, though.

Stray Toasters

  • I chatted with for a bit this afternoon. He and the sister-unit seem to be well.
  • Horizon to Horizon
    memory written on the wind
    Fading away, like an hourglass, grain by grain
    Swept away like voices in a hurricane
    In a vapor trail…

  • There’s a new release of the Semagic LJ client.
  • While looking at some messages on FreeCycle, I noticed that one poster, named Meagan, had an offer (for coupons from the Sunday paper *boggle*) and a request (for either a surround sound system or components of one). *blink blink* Maybe I missed something, but there seemed to be a big disparity between the two. I showed the posts to Eric, his response: “Meagan is a doofus, according to the official definition.” We looked up the definition, just to be sure. He was right.
  • See you cowgirl,
    Someday, somewhere!

  • Mirrormask is now out on DVD.
  • Despite ‘s insistence, I’m not paying for anyone’s therapy as a result of viewing this.

Quote of the Day
is going on vacation. I informed him that there is a LEGO store near where he will be. I also asked if he’d mind picking up a couple of items for me. It went a little something like this:

[14:09] : So. lego store?
[14:09] : Hrm.
[14:09] : Pirate keychain.
[14:09] : *nod*
[14:09] : Oh, and a Darth Vader keychain.
[14:09] : oh yeah. lego keychains. YES.
[14:09] : Please.
[14:11] : pirate and vader keychains. got it.
[14:11] : pirate vader keychain!
[14:11] : Thanks!
[14:11] : Ooooh!
[14:12] : I couldn’t really think of anything else… unless you can figure out a way to get that 6′ tall Vader figure out of the store without attracting too much attention.
[14:12] : Or the giraffe.
[14:12] : “Luke! I am being ye father! ARRRRR! Search yer feelings lad, ye be knowing it to be true!” hmm. wait. that kind of went scottish didn’t it?
[14:13] : heh
[14:13] : But, it got the point across.
[14:13] : aye.
[14:14] : great. now i be stuck in some bastard scottish pirate accent.
[14:15] : heh
[14:16] : and i could probably get the 6′ vader out of the store.. it’s getting it on to the plane that would be entertaining.
[14:16] : Bastard scottish pirate accent…. behind a respirator.
[14:16] : “This is not the LEGO statue you are looking for. We are free to go about our business. Move along.”
[14:18] : I find ye lack of alcoholic beverages disturbin’
[14:19] : I’m in Utah County… and you expected alcohol? You’re kidding, right!?
[14:19] : Wait.
[14:19] : Let me put this into perspective.
[14:19] : But utah county is a dry planet!
[14:19] : I’m in Utah County… and I’m Black…. and you expected alcohol? You’re kidding, right!?
[14:20] : You just want me dead.
[14:20] : This proves it.
[14:20] : i pretty much always expect alcohol these days.
[14:21] : pour yourself another drink! complete your training! become one with the piratey dark side!
[14:22] : Nooooo! You’re not my bartender/captain/father! I’ll never join you!

I’m tapped.

Namaste.
