Last Thursday slipped by without me mentioning that it was forty-nine years ago that day that James Dean was run off the road by a farmer named Turnipseed. JD died; Turnipseed survived.

My best gal tells me I still look like James Dean (as if I ever did - she's so sweet), though more like Jet Rink at the gala opening of the Emperdor Hotel...

Sorry, I've been here in spirit, stuff at work is totally NUTS! We deploy in a few weeks and so I do nothing but work. The Navy doesn't look all that fondly at their girls looking at Naked chicks. Even if they're hot. So I check in when I can.....I'll be better once we leave, way more downtime. Thanks for looking out for me though, it's nice to be missed.

I went camping last weekend all on my own. I took a book but only read thirty pages (the poor thing looks likr it came through the Blitz though), I did some drawing and I ate a lot of bannock and beans. It was great. I forget sometimes the curative powers of the great outdoors.

Of course I took cigars and booze, and I've been...

I used to have a cockatiel.

His name was Bogart. I called him Bogie.

I kid not.

Camping... Ah... I miss it.

Thanks for the book-loaning offer. I doubt I'll be dropping by Canada anytime soon. Although, that depends. Are you near Prince Edward Island?

Yes, read Coupland's Life After God. If you drop by one afternoon you can borrow it. wink

Yes, it was Julius Shulman the photographer, and I didn't meet him, per se. I just photographed him from afar. Photographing the photographer... how postmodern of me.

Here's a pipe for ya!

Life is like a box of chocolates, though. You take a little bite out of every one and put them back, then feel sick about the whole thing later.

Silly! Don't worry, I won't soak no paper plates. Although, my late Serbian grandmother was fond of washing the plastic ones...

Wow! How absolutely strange. I want to go live in that town... how Derrida that would be.

I've done seven, count 'em seven tours, but have yet to do the Broadway Theatres one. Why'd ya leave Lost Strangeles? Wait, no... I think I know the answer.

Sending a friend request without posting in a journal is like buying an ice cream cone without getting a sample first.

Yeah, without even going into the ice cream store. smile

Spinning is so fun! To me, anyway. If you found it nearly as enjoyable as I do, then I thank you for your high compliment. biggrin

Do you write screenplays?

I was told about a game being played by friends of mine and by complete strangers, it's called "spot Hack" (except they don;t call me Hack because that is my SG secret identity).

Here's how they play: simply go about your business as you normally would; if in the course of your day you spot someone who appears to have stepped out of a time...

Yes, that was in fact the best that I have ever looked. However mere seconds after the picture was taken I reverted to looking like some sort of troll. What is a fellow to do?

By rode I mean, napped in the back seat of my room mates Volvo while he did battle with traffic and delivered a friend of ours to where she needed to be for a conference that she is in the states for. She is Kenyan.

The movies were Bedazzled (The Hurley/Fraser one), Office Space, and I threw in some Anime for background noise while I did some things around the apt. cleaning up the kitchen, etc... I was in the mood to rewatch things that I have seen many times and love, instead of exploring new things. The only new things I have watched of late were Starsky and Hutch and Anchorman.

And in closing let me say this. "GORDON'S ALIVE! ".

(It was that or "Flash, I love you, but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!")
