Well Pan. I think it’s time to take my Boo for lunch.
Later!
“She changed the slide.”
“The 7th Victim” by Alan Jacobson
“If painted on top of dry plaster, the result is called fresco a secco (‘dry fresco’); if painted on a thin layer of wet plaster laid onto the dry wall, the colors are infused into the plaster, and the result is buon fresco (‘true fresco’), one of the most permanent painting techniques.”

Course Guidebook (p. 41)
Page 22 of my nearest book is blank (because the next chapter starts on the next page, same as with TEB’s book), so I’ll go to page 23, paragraph 2, sentence 2:
“After a moment her eyes lit up.”

How’s the book, Amy?
CW: Jumper
The one I just quoted from? I remember liking what I’ve read of it so far. I read the beginning of it a while ago and haven’t gotten back into it.
Yep, that’s the one I was asking about, Amy.
Serious comment:
I’d like to get some sense of the scope of our upcoming Watchmania conference call. If you have any interest at all, then please make a comment on the Watchmania Discussion Points thread, with some indication as to the likeliness of your participation.
Word.
Silly comment:
Oh shit, I’m a butterhead.
Parkayhead.
I think I’m buried under tumbleweeds….
Reminder: Tonight is the Greasy Jelly Bean deadline.
The book game sounds interesting, but I’ve put too much effort into actually forgetting my age to be worth while counting the years to figure it out again.
I place too much meaning on the age I am, so I have taken the knowledge away from myself. Now I am more than 30 and less than 40. I doubt I will be able to get past 40 without noticing, but it would please me greatly if I did so.
I’m not a pretentious fuck, really I’m not… HA!
I’m a butterhead. this week.
CONFIRMED.
Good Morning, Deadpan!
I’m up, I’m on my way to the gym, and then I’m off to work. Yay?
Morning Pan!
At the downtown office for a few hours this morning,
riding the train at 6:00 in the morning is kind of dark and depressing.
Well, it looks like it’s going to be one of those mornings. Almost a thousand contracts weren’t rolled over. Looks like I’ll have to do the keychanges manually. Sucks.
Good Morning Pan.
My health improves.
EssBee – tell the sly one to get better soon. :)
I work in a strange office.
My co-worker (in Ontario), got a date wrong and set it for tomorrow. I was ribbing him on perfecting the time machine, his reply,
“Don’t worry. One day computers will do everything with no human intervention needed. We’ll all be able to hook ourselves up to an intravenous machine and lay in bed all day playing video games while the machines run the world.
The laser cleaning machines will allow us to remain in bed forever without ever having to change our clothes or bed sheets, even after a reverse meal.”
“reverse meals” = eewwww.
Any chance the co-worker named Neo ?
In my weakened condition I have finally given in and started the upgrade from iTunes 7 to 8.
Heaven help me.
For a change, J0e, the i-tunes upgrade did’t hurt me.
I think I’m encouraging my co-worker too much. In response to my “eeeww” he said,
“It’s less disgusting than what a baby does before it’s born. They’re quite content to be floating in their own excrement.
Perhaps the lasers could work instantly as items are released, before anything is visible. Now that would be the life! Wouldn’t you want one of those hooked up to you all the time? Always perfectly clean. No more showers and no more emergencies.”
We’re obviously working really hard and not e-mailing back and forth on inane subject matters. uh-huh :)
I’m rather fond of showers. I don’t think I’d want to give them up. I’m picturing all of the characters on the Axiom in Wall-E. That’s no way to live.
Speaking of no way to live… I have a ton of work to do today and while I’m not sick, I am being stabbed in the head repeatedly with what feels like a hot poker. I have a migraine. Looking at this screen is actually quite painful, but I have to work. So, here I am.
I say this for you, CJ,
“blah”
Listening to the Viennese Waltz is actually making me feel dizzy.
Is it the walz, or the fact you’re still not 100%, J0e?
Or are you waltzing?

I still say eeewwww.
Coffee. I need coffee.
Can anyone tell me what magic setting causes iTunes to play ALL the songs in a playlist?
At the moment it will only play the 1st song in the list or any song that I manually select but then it stops.
I am trying to breath deeply and remain calm.
J0e, maybe it’s time to give WinAmp a look…?
I’m not sure on that one, J0e. I tell i-tunes to play, and off it goes.
Ok, quick poll. One of my co-workers says that all “Jennifers” are cute. It’s just some sort of law of the land that if you have the name Jennifer, you can’t be bad looking.
I don’t know any Jennifers so I couldn’t comment on this. Anyone?
I’ve only known cute Jennifers, but I won’t assume that they all are cute.
JOe, check your settings – you might be on Repeat.
I have known cute Jennifers and okay Jennifers.
Never any “bad looking” ones but also never a HOT Jennifer.
Boy, this is a slippery slope.
Well, I think I’ve had enough of this place. I’ve rekeyed 300 contracts. I’m going to head home and do the rest from there.
Later!
Get some rest TEB
Re: iTunes
Okay it seems that you have to have the little “check box” beside each song checked if you want it to play. That is also what you do if you want a song added to your synched mp3 player … so, if you don’t want it loaded on your layer but you DO want it to play in the playlist, not so much.
layer = player
I to may lay down now.
I think hotness is so subjective. I know a lot of Jennifers, and do find a few of them unattractive. However, I have been accused of finding ugly men hot, like Brigitte Silverbow from the WOT books.
I’ve known some unattractive Jennifers.
I think that rule certainly applies to the name “Jill”.
What about Helga?
I’m not a layer I just crush a lot.
TEB – I firmly believe that there is something “cute” to be found in everyone, however, I have certain met at least one non-cute Jennifer (although I’m sure other redeeming qualities were readily available.)
More importantly, I have never met a Jack that wasn’t cute. Therefore, all people named “Jack” must be cute.
I don’t know jack. ;)
Good list of upcoming album releases.

*blush* :)
Yeah, WNDRWolf and Trucker Overdrive are adorable.
*swooooon*
Well, I’m married to a Jennifer. I shall say nothing regarding the cuteness/non cuteness of all Jennifers as it will get me into trouble no matter what I say.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it…..for now.
*Stomps paw* – I am not adorable or cute…
Please CJ has not met me yet….
JM set a high bar in the adorable department.

Your FB picture begs to differ Wolf!
Well I woould hate to shatter your ideals Cj, so I will be keeping my webcam off this coming Sunday.
Back home.
J0e, not to rest, but to DO the rest… of my work. Luckily because my office is technically in Ontario, I can do most of my work from home.
No rest for the Weary Bunny ? :(
I now have an Australian Shepard puppy named “Jack” .
I am man enough to admit that it comforts me to scratch Jack behind his ears.
This is from “the Fix” by Paul S. Jenkins:
Variant Frequencies for January offers us Jack Mangan’s “Creature of Godâ€â€”a supernatural tale mixing gangland hoodlums with the metaphysics of theology. Guns and holy water combine in a high-octane underworld, both literal and metaphysical. Rick Stringer’s narration, plus a full-on production featuring guest voices from the world of fiction podcasting, create an ear-grabbing story of demons, uncertainty, and betrayal. At times the background music and effects verge on overpowering, but this adds to the tension of the story rather than distracting from it, and the whole thing leaves one breathless in its wake. An excellent example of a style of audio fiction probably unique to podcasting.
http://thefix-online.com/features/from-the-podosphere-jan-2009/
That is very excellent, Jack. I need to finish listening to that darnit.
I actually just read Sixteen Pieces at a Time this morning.
Seriously unproductive around here, but enjoying myself nonetheless.
SIDE BAR -
This should be where I make some low brow comment about that being the opposite of “being reproductive while letting someone else enjoy yourself”
… but I just don’t feel quite up to it yet.

In additon to the megaflu, is there also a case of the blahs going around? Or is it just me?
I’ve got the blahs for sure.
Jack: I would say it’s The Mondays, but today is Tuesday!
I’m still sitting in my sleepwear, on my couch, doing nothing at four o’clock in the afternoon.
Blah blah
I’m actually my usual annoyingly happy self, but I’ll admit I still have a headache. Blah. I greatly feel the need to fit in.
:D
Well… and… because of my morning migraine, I didn’t work out this morning, which really stinks because I just started this new routine.
AND – I cut my gums while flossing and it hurts.
but… I’m still annoyingly happy. I just can’t help it. That’s who I am.
Cj: Glad you are happy even if you are annoying. Just kidding. ;)
I only refer to myself as annoyingly happy because that’s how certain friends have referred to me.
Not only am I almost always happy – but it’s generally my goal to make sure everyone around me is happy. This is where I believe I become “annoying” so I try to tone it down. . . . sometimes.
Not so much blah, but thumb twiddling time as I seem to have done everything needed to do and got an attack of apathy.
Ah well, the external battery for the phone arrived, will give it a live test tomorrow.
Cj: But we like you that way!
ditto what ditto said.
Cj – Might I suggest an Audio Drama version of “16 Pieces” This guy over at Wander Radio 2 years ago produced an excellent Audio Drama based on that short story.
http://wanderradio.com/?p=5
It is worth a listen. Really…
Just checked my e-mail
God I hate my mom!

Wolf, I’ve downloaded it. Thanks for the link. I’ll either consume it later for dinner (going out for a bit soon) or I’ll have it with breakfast tomorrow. :)
That’s pretty funny, TEB :)
Wolf and his crew did an excellent job with that, Cj. Thanks for checking it out.
K, off to dinner.
Cj – nice call on the woot-off.
Thanks NS. I’ll try not to stay up all night buying things I don’t need from Woot. I’ll probably be unsuccessful.
Tried for the solar charger… took too long. drat.
Morning Pan, back to the grind..meh!
Mornin’ Vanamonde.
I’m sure I’ve known more than one Jennifer, but the only one that I can remember had a sort of dirty cute face (punky brewster) and a unsettlingly mannish gait.
Not sure if that adds to one side or the other of the “Jennifers are cute” debate.
On reflection I realize I’ve never known anybody called Jennifer.
Morning Pan!
Did a full workout for the first time in a week and a half… I think I’m going to die.
Hallooooooo!
Yes it’s a bit quiet today.
Quiet. I am trying to catch up on my sleep…
Good morning. I passed out last night and missed all the Woots.
TEB – Good job! I’m delving into a new diet and workout plan over here so I’ll be feeling like I’m going to die right along with you! :)
Wolf, you can never “catch up” on sleep. The best you can hope for is to get a little closer to rested.
I will have a houseload of toddlers arriving in two hours for some music and dancing – then I’ll be taking my very ill Grandmother to a new doctor to, hopefully, find out how much is really wrong.
Now… to pick some music. Daughter wants “B-I-N-G-O”
So far I have wasted money on a green laser and a Slacker Radio. I should turn off the alerts before I go broke again… =(
Wondering if I should be hibernating…
http://www.thingswrongwithme.com/
Funny.
Cj – Teach her some Irish Rovers.
Wolf – Almost springtime. You’re already supposed to be hibernating.
tEB – woot for workout. Can you do an extra one for me?
Scry, I have enough trouble doing my own every day, I’m not doing anyone else’s.
Scry, I have enough trouble doing my own workout every day, I’m not doing anyone else’s.
Why is WP, doubling comments?
CJ – Teach the kids how to play chess, then play them the 16 Pieces AD and scare them into behaving. :)
Spring…WTF!!
tEB – WP loves you and wants to spend twice as much time with you. WP is a good parent and a bad stalker.
… I’m supposed to be doing something. Something productive. … But I refuse, ha ha, take that!
Srsly. It’s too early for my phone to be getting all of these text messages already.
CP: Somebody’s Watching Me – Rockwell
Forget a Slacker Radio! Wander is the only Radio you need.
Cj – do you actually own that mp3??
LOL – Thanks Jack for the endorsement. I do not believe I have enough content to keep up with Nomad Scry podsuming habits.
Jack, Uhm.. Yes… I also have it on 45… You gotta problem with that?
Or… are you just jealous?

Oh and I still have the 45 of Dr Feelgood’s ‘Milk and Alcohol’.

That is quite the 80s playlist you have there, Cj. Takes me back to Friday Night Videos.
Speaking of 80s music – - did you know that Olivia Newton-John is physicist Max Born’s granddaughter? Is that the real inspiration behind “Let’s Get Physical”?
Jack, I’m almost positive that it ISN’T the inspiration behind the song.

Dammit, now “Always Something There to Remind Me” is stuck in my CPIMM.
I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me…

You think my iTunes is scary, you should see my collection of 45s. I have over 400 of them.
Hello Pan. Not training anyone. Back into regular routine. Internet now back up here (down yesterday).
Soooo…. How’s the Pan hanging?
Do they even make viagra for pans?

You install SP3 as well.

Wanna know how to lose a day?
Have your home brewing buddy show up about 9:30 am to help you bottle 10 gallons of delicious Hefeweisen. Then have the sun come out and there be “not quite enough beer to fill another bottle so we’d better drink it.”
And then suddenly 4 hours are gone and you realize you could care less.
:)
J0e: that sounds like the way to win a day, not lose a day.
I am so jealous of J0e…
Yeah.
I’m going to put this one in the “win” column, even if those around me are pointing and shouting “looser”.
