Ah home at last. Toki barks at Kehoe. Kehoe pulls the big sis routine and (mostly) ignores her. I'm enjoying some downtime in our yard. It's a bit chilly and barky, but very very nice way to tgif.

The Big Squeeze

Finally finished it. Great book, I shoulda just bought it (with the fines I've got, I might as well have). Check eyeshurt for a book report soonish (well, I'm behind by three book reports now, and no time, so soonish is a loose idea). All the pieces of paper?...my notes. Yeah, it was good like that.

Quality "Ingredient" Water
What is the ingredient (click on the image to see larger view in flickr), and why is it in quotes? Considering that I drink anywhere from 8-64 oz of water at work everyday (for almost a decade!), I really need to know...

kludgey bluetooth
my totally ridiculous a2dp solution for my non-a2dp phone:
s9 motorola headset (on sale, got one for sy too)
bluetooth but not stereo a2dp-friendly phone that i love (with existing wire for fm and such)
sony bluetooth transmitter

totally not slick, but it works, and i can answer calls. i figured my next phone will be a2dp-friendly (cmon iphone, you can do it!) and this way i'm in compliance when talking and driving... (and still cheaper than some bluetooth headsets plus i can listen to music...)

when i'm better at soldering, i'm gonna shorten the wires and make the whole thing more streamlined.

Immortal Beloved
[or, inspiration from unlikely, and sometimes cheesy, sources]
Good morning, on July 7

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us -
I can live only wholly with you or not at all -
Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits -
Yes, unhappily it must be so -
You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never -
Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves.
And yet my life in V is now a wretched life -
Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men -
At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection?
My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once-
Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together-
Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell.
Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

ever thine
ever mine
ever ours

L.

mystery plants...no more!
...from a dog walk last week...any takers on what it might be? (and yes, me, wrapped up in two leashes by my very different pups, taking a photo with my cameraphone...it's a wonder our neighbors still talk to me.)

update: thanks to evil kevy, the mystery is solved--arum italicum.

inflamatory
check out the inflamatory ad that reared its ugly head on my facebook page the morning. i took the liberty of highlighting the salient feature of this ad: PAID FOR BY JOHN MCCAIN 2008. let the mudslinging begin. don't take my word for it--here's plenty of reasons why you can't trust mccain (no matter what way you vote--he's flipflopped so many times, it's hard to know what he really believes in...):

Washington Post on McCain's flipflopping

Moveon's 10 Things to Know about McCain

Alternet's The Top Ten Craziest Things John McCain Has Said While You Weren't Watching

and perhaps a book to add to my list:The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn't

G'ville was tasty
G'ville is all about the food. Well, for us anyway. We had some good eats... For some reason, we didn't get to the huge okra. But that's prolly cuz we had so much else to eat. Remarkably, we almost finished all the food by the time we left.

Overall, it was a weekend with lotsa good friends, good food (funny how those go together for us) and lotsa hilarious random laughter. I still can't get over the fact that I've been driving all this time without being able to turn my head 360-degrees. Oh, and the truth will out--now we know what therapists think about while in session! Uh-huh. You'll need therapy from your therapy!
