I had this whole plan for daily blog entries while I was down here, only I always forget how whipped I am when we get back from the park each day. I didn’t have the juice to even think about writing.

Still, I had pictures I wanted to post, so last night, after a couple martinis, I sat down while the kids were winding down and got set to upload pictures from the camera.

And of course, the cable that I’d so carefully packed turned out to not be packed.

I am still somewhat puzzled over this, but it kneecapped my plan to post. So, you know, nevermind.

Heading home today – we had a vague plan to stay another night in SoCal and do something post-mouse but none of us really feel like it, so I’ll be home and back on line tonight, maybe in time for an HNT post and everything.

Plus, I can tell a little story of almost popping a disney security guy in the mouth, and almost spending my last day in Mouse Jail.

But that little story can wait.

Network fuckedness

Grumble. I picked a hotel partly based on free high-speed wireless in room. Which is great. High signal, rippin’ speed. Only I can’t get VPN in to work. And that’s where my email is. All of it sucked off of the apple corporate mail server, and off of the engineering mail server, onto my own […]

Grumble.

I picked a hotel partly based on free high-speed wireless in room.

Which is great. High signal, rippin’ speed. Only I can’t get VPN in to work. And that’s where my email is. All of it sucked off of the apple corporate mail server, and off of the engineering mail server, onto my own private, secure disk space on my own server in my office.

Which is behind a firewall. The castle walls are high and I’m outside, portcullis down, drawbridge up. Moat fulla piranha.

I don’t care about, you know, work-related mail. But me own personal mail, THAT I want.

Did I mention, grumble?

My gmail is reachable if you wanna get me (fan mail from some flounder, dirty notes and filthy jokes), but I can’t respond to anything at my usual addresses until I 1) figure out what in the local network is fucking me, or 2) get home later this week.

At least I can still blog.

Down with the Mouse

Now that my boss owns the Mouse, I figure I better check up on that little rodent. Which is to say, I’m headed south to visit Disneyland. I’m gonna try n’ blog from down there – I’m taking the cable to upload pictures and everything. We’ll see if that actually happens, I didn’t do any […]

Now that my boss owns the Mouse, I figure I better check up on that little rodent.

Which is to say, I’m headed south to visit Disneyland.

I’m gonna try n’ blog from down there – I’m taking the cable to upload pictures and everything. We’ll see if that actually happens, I didn’t do any blogging on my last Disney trip; but that was Florida. This is back to the original in Anaheim.

It’s been a long three weeks work-wise, though a good three weeks. I’m re-engaged with what my team does, and back to making a significant contribution. I’m ragged, and so very ready for a vacation.

I had planned to get tattooed while I was down there but I just never got around to making the arrangements; but I’m gonna try to hook up with Jack Rudy to plan a tattoo, anyway. It’ll give me an excuse to get back down there again in a few weeks. It’s not that far, after all.

Anyway if updates are few, it’s because I’m busy feeling up Minnie and tryin’ to get a little tail from Ariel.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don’t give a hoot,
Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack,
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle, and even high-jack,
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite,
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we’re really a fright,
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho.

We’re rascals, scoundrels, villans, and knaves,
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho.
We’re devils and black sheep, really bad eggs,
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho.

Freelove

Sometimes it’s gotta be Gurus. You can’t take me anywhere, I’ll strip down to my underwear If you give me half a chance. Hippy-freelove, outtasight! I’m gonna turn off every light And hold a private dance. It started out one afternoon, hot sake in my living room Among some special friends. Soon some others dropped […]

Sometimes it’s gotta be Gurus.

You can’t take me anywhere, I’ll strip down to my underwear
If you give me half a chance.
Hippy-freelove, outtasight! I’m gonna turn off every light
And hold a private dance.
It started out one afternoon, hot sake in my living room
Among some special friends.
Soon some others dropped around and we all started gaffing down, well,
You know how these things end!

Miss Freelove, Come back sometime-
Miss Freelove of ’69.

Torches flashing sweaty passion, each made love in their own fashion-
We had quite a ball!
Do the monkey, feeling funky, I’m just like any disco junkie
And I don’t care at all.
Maybe I’m not thinking straight, I only know that it feels great
And I’m glad you do too.
It could be just a passing fad but think about the fun we had
The last time you decided to pass through.

Miss Freelove, come back sometime
Miss Freelove of ’69.

And everything is gone and far away
And everything is gone and that’s o.k.
And everything is groovy, would you say?
Would you say?

Someone called the cops on us. They didn’t have the heart to bust
The kinky scene they found.
They checked their badges at the door and joined the action on the floor
(When they laid their nightsticks down!)
Miss Freelove …….
La-la-la-la love
La-la-la-la love, Freelove!

Last?

I’m playing with last.fm, which is kind of cool. I got a plugin for itunes that reports my listening habits (spyware I installed on purpose – really that’s a wrong idea but it’s still kinda cool). I’m working on a good way to do dynamic updates on my blog but haven’t found a good way […]

I’m playing with last.fm, which is kind of cool. I got a plugin for itunes that reports my listening habits (spyware I installed on purpose – really that’s a wrong idea but it’s still kinda cool).

I’m working on a good way to do dynamic updates on my blog but haven’t found a good way to do it yet. But then I haven’t tried very hard.

Still it’s cool to see the charts when I have iTunes shuffling at random all day.

One more day, then it’s vacation time. I’d be counting hours if I had enough time.

What I Like About You

This is sort of interesting. The Johari Window. Kind of an Ingram personality whatsis, it’s interesting because I pick six words from the window that describe me, then you-all get to do the same, again, for me. I guess I am supposed to see how my view and the world’s view differ. For some reason. […]

The Johari Window.

Kind of an Ingram personality whatsis, it’s interesting because I pick six words from the window that describe me, then you-all get to do the same, again, for me. I guess I am supposed to see how my view and the world’s view differ. For some reason. Like any of you know anything about me.

I was tempted to fuck with it but for once I tried o be honest. Only problem is I could only pick six and at least half the words on there fit. Six? Come on.

(Found of Wolfe’s site)

Here’s the flip side – negative traits.

A lot of these apply but I don’t think they’re negative so I didn’t choose them. Interestingly ‘arrogant’ isn’t on either list.

Shot!

Sex and Candy

Songs about Sex and Candy. To suit a sweet new look for the Moronosphere:      Hangin’ round downtown by myself      And I had too much caffeine      And I was thinkin’ ’bout myself      And then there she was      In double platform suede      Yeah there she was      Like disco lemonade    […]

Songs about Sex and Candy. To suit a sweet new look for the Moronosphere:



     Hangin’ round downtown by myself
     And I had too much caffeine
     And I was thinkin’ ’bout myself
     And then there she was
     In double platform suede
     Yeah there she was
     Like disco lemonade
     I smell sex and candy here

Or we could try:



     The Candy Man can
     ‘Cause he mixes it with love
     And makes the world taste good

Or a little different feel:



     Candy asked me if she died
     if I could go on
     of course I said I couldn’t
     and of course we knew that’s wrong
     but candy, I said, candy no you can’t do that to me
     because you love me way too much
     for you to ever leave

Or we could add a little chili pepper spice:



     Step into a heaven
     Where I keep it on the soulside
     Girl please me
     Be my soul bride
     Every woman
     Has a piece of Aphrodite
     Copulate to create
     A state of sexual light
     Kissing her virginity
     My affinity
     I mingle with the gods
     I mingle with devinity

     Blood sugar baby
     She’s magik
     Sex magik sex magik

And we dare not forget:



     When you need a friend through thick and thin
     Don’t look to those above you.
     When you’re down and out, ain’t no doubt
     Nobody wants you.

     But you’re rock candy baby
     Hard, sweet and sticky.
     Rock candy baby
     Hard, sweet and sticky.

Sugar and Sex. Celebrate the the rites of love, my friends. Feed your love on sugar candy, and fuck him/her half to death.

Half-Nekkid, with hair

Ok I meant to take a new picture for this. Given that last week was an ancient pic of me with long hair, I was gonna follow it up with a current hair pic. I’m in one of those rare non-shaving phases. I’ve got about a month of hair going, and a full beard not […]

Ok I meant to take a new picture for this. Given that last week was an ancient pic of me with long hair, I was gonna follow it up with a current hair pic. I’m in one of those rare non-shaving phases. I’ve got about a month of hair going, and a full beard not the usual goatee.

But I can’t quite manage to get camera and battery together this eve. So you get the next best thing, a pic from last summer with a similar hair growth. I get this way only about once a year. As usual, click for full size.

I promise, current half nekkidness next time. Really.

Hairy Hnt

Happy HNT.
