Monday : 26 September 05
More Mondays should be like this:

  • It was Mocha Monday ($1.00 of a large drink and up to 4 shots added at no extra charge!) at Beans & Brews.
  • The first half of the work day was good.
  • Lunch was good. Mmm… Cafè Trang.
  • The second half of the work day was good.
  • The post-work day was great.
  • I even remembered to call a couple of friends to wish them a “Happy Anniversary.”

I can’t think of a single complaint about the day.

After work, came over to help and me (FINALLY) prep the living room for painting. We sanded, touched-up, resanded, retouched, washed and primed the walls. The paint for the wainscote should be will be up by this weekend. We watched the Denver – Kansas City game on Monday Night Football, while we worked. Denver went into Arrowhead Stadium and took the Chiefs to the house. Eight ways from Sunday. It wasn’t pretty. No… “It wasn’t pretty by the end of the First Quarter.” Yeah, they beat them down that badly.

  • For the second night in a row, I have foregone eating my beloved Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies; instead, I am eating an apple. Again.
  • By way of : Hoverboy
  • ESA selects targets for asteroid-deflection mission Don Quijote
  • LMD + UDZ
  • Plastic Jesus (and Plastic Cthulhu and Plastic Vishnu)
  • By way of TechNudge: Why I Might Switch Back… (or “33 Reasons to Leave the Mac for Windows”)
  • sent me this. It amuses me greatly.  –  
  • Jazz is good. There’s something about a smooth saxophone for a little background music. I need more Dave Koz and David Sanborn in my collection. Speaking of which, I was tooling around the KUER site today and came across a link that they posted called Building a Jazz Library. I like the looks of this.
  • This just screams: “The beatdown is about to begin…”
  • Warner Brothers is releasing The Adventures of Superman: The Complete First Season (or “Old Man in Tights,” as someone calls it) on DVD on 18 Oct. I grew up watching reruns of this show on Channel 20, back in Baltimore. I will still fondly watch episodes of it on Nick at Nite or TV Land, if I happen to spot them.
  • also sent me this. I have a new <dance break> image.  –  
  • It’s funny how things just pop into your head at the most random of times.

    Do you know where you’re going to?
    Do you like the things that life is showing you
    Where are you going to?
    Do you know…?
         -Diana Ross: Theme from Mahogany (“Do YOu Know Where You’re Going To?”)

    I’ve liked this song since…. longer than I can remember. Yeah. That long. I think that it is – or at least, “was” – one of my mother’s favorites. I don’t recall whether she had it on LP or not… but I think that she did and that’s where I must have originally heard it. I do remember that I even used it in a short story that I wrote in…. 10th Grade, if I remember correctly. It’s a pretty song. I hadn’t thought about it in a very long time and then it just popped into my head while I was typing. I had almost forgotten that I even had the song. But, I’m glad that I did.

  • This time something FOR : I think you’ll like it.
  • Wow.

And thus, it is time to call it a night. With a nod, a smile and a tip of the hat, I bid you…. adieu.

Namaste.
