My Life

It's been a good year.

Did you ever get something you really liked, then lost it and forgot you had it?

Yeah, I'm fine, but you have to wonder sometimes.

One of the great inequities of life may be that rice expands when you cook it, but bacon shrinks.

From my vacation a couple of years ago.

Is it just me, or was the dialog in the recent Miami Vice movie nearly incomprehensibly mumbled?

I turned on the English captions just so I could follow the plot.

Frankly, I started 2007 about six months ago. The calendar is just catching up with me.

Since my CyberMonday comes about a week earlier than most vendors, I had a pretty fat November. However, December is always dead for me. I've caught up with all my orders. Overnighted one so it'd be there for Christmas. I have a single post xmas order to fill and I'm on to making stock for FFF again. Yes, once again I find myself making almost everything in the last weeks. However, if I don't get distracted, it should still be better than previous years.

I'm seriously considering doing something else after August. My health and concentration has been improving. I'm feeling like I might like to try working with people again. Of course, a lot depends on the economy. I spent almost ten years immersed in WWW geek land and it'll be five years as a professional whip maker. While I know I'm a genius, it might take a visible display of brain power to get back into the tech world.

Maybe I don't want to work with my head so much. Maybe I want to be a waiter. Wear a tie and bring people food. Maybe I want to sell something. Just wait and see, I guess.

Under odd biology, I feasted for two days and lost a half pound. Not gonna complain about that.

Thinkin' I might get me a big red slab of grass-fed today.

Those wacky Ozzies.

"Who do they think they're dealing with? I'm the fucking Santa Claus!"

I mostly live in my head, except for those essential moments when I must live in my bum.

I take 'em both on...

I amused to live in a world where a funny TV scene can be shared so easily.

I watch the last installment of the X-Men movies. I am disturbed by departure from cannon. The anti-mutant serum should not have worked on Mystique, because she's not a mutant. Hey, is Professor X too distracted to say hi to his brother, Juggernaut; also not a mutant?

Yeah, I haven't read the comic books in twenty years, so I'm just a crotchety old geek.

I don't think Coyotes and Bears every really hit it off.

Brief mention...

My kombucha SCOBY is ten days old.

Last night, I tuned in the recent Noah Wylie adventure, Return to King Solomon's Mines, or, as I call it, Tomb Raiders of the Lost Crusade. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, despite the creepy first try. I kind of like Wylie and Jonathan Frakes was directing, so it's like family. But WTF? You spend that much money to make a movie and you don't spend any of it on an actual script writer? Is it a network thing; "Let's write out all the plot points of successful movies on cards, throw them in a hat and pull out a couple dozen and that'll be our script!"

Why does the ancient temple have to self destruct every freekin' time? Why! Every trap is well lubed and perfectly functional for millenia, but burn one key artifact and all warranties expire at once.

Kombucha tea. Translated, kombu=mushroom, cha=tea; so mushroom tea tea. The so-called mushroom is actually a benign gelatinous mass (BGM) of yeasts and bacteria. Yes, a symbiotic culture of bacterial and yeast (SCOBY). In this case, the sole purpose of the BGM is to turn sweet tea into a kind of sparkling cider. I say sole purpose, because this particular organism doesn't seem to exist in the wild, beyond jars of tea. Like bananas, its proliferation is entirely dependent on human culture.

So far, my jar of tea is still in the early stages, insubstantial whisps of BGM floating at the edges.
