Awarness test

Count the Passes
I totally failed this test!

Twinsies

So my NEW CAMERA (for my birthday) is not a mega zoom. It is a Canon Powershot SD1000 and I like it. I am waiting for a 2 gig card to show up so I can take more than 9 pictures without downloading them. It has many neat features, but my favorite is that is seems to take great quality photos.


The first photo is a deer and her twins. It took all of the 12x combined digital and optical to pull that off and it is still rather impressionist. I like it, however because it looks like art. And really who can resist taking a picture of a horses bum? and my aido. I love the little poser, I am so glad he is feeling better and the antibiotics for his ear infection seem to be working. I hope what they say is right and kids go through all the sicknesses in daycare or in preschool. I hope he stays better for the rest of... well his life. I hate seeing him sick.

please excuse the voice behind the curtain

Meka Leka Hi Meka Hiney Ho!

In my quest to make the right decision about buying the house (and no summer TV I like except "the next best thing" last night) I have scoured the web in search of online fortune telling. For some strange reason I want the WWW to tell me if I should or shouldn't buy that house I mentioned. So far the results have been all positive. In case there is a large decision you would like to make (preferably including thousands of dollars) here are the oracles I have consulted and their results. These are all free, because underneath all this bling I am really a tightwad.





Neil & His Magnificent Oruclar Journal

I think we all need to ponder that.

Facades Magic Pen

Yes

IChing Online

A submerged dragon is of no use.

Google It

I Feel Lucky

I think overall the results are positive. Either way our earnest check is cashed.

Put another nickle in the Nicelodeon

I picked him up when the screen goes black. He curled up into me and stopped crying. By the end of the song he was looking around and enjoying the music. Now he watches the video and tells me "baby cry!"

Rubin and Ed, The Legacy

I love quirky movies. I like light hearted humor with serious "issues". Ruben and Ed is most likely the poster child of this. Way back at UO when i lived with a lesbian who had a crush on me I watch Rubin and Ed. It was what my rocker chick friend called a "material flick" because there were so many quotations to adapt to comic everyday situations. "andy warhol sucks the big one" "run into the brick wall off success" "fans injure 14,320 cats a year" and the list goes on. So when Mar-tin brought it up, I started thinking about that film again. Through the joys of youtube.com you can see touching moments too. I have the trailer here:

Kicking Shoe 1
Fantasy of the Oddball Recluse
Kicking Shoe 2
King of the Echo People

I guess I am not the only one who really liked this movie. I think I own a copy somewhere, but as I said we are moving and I don't know where it is. I think these tidbits from youtube.com will keep me satisfied.

Movies for the Mom

Little big man is beginning not to need me to go to bed at night. That is happy sad because it means he is growing up and I can perhaps sneak away some evenings. I have never minded going to a movie by myself so a date isn't a problem. I have a list of movies that I want to see:

Harry Potter
Stardust
Beowulf!

Movies I will probably see but at someone else's choice:

Shrek the Third
The Simpson's
Pirates of the Caribbean

Movies they would have to tie me down and toothpick my eyes Clockwork Orange Style:
BUG (even if I could say "I'm infested" in jest again)
Transformers
Hairspray (Travolta in drag looks disrespectful to Trannies everywhere)
License to Wed (Robin Williams is still alive? At any rate he isn't funny)
