Lately I do a YouTube search for his name and just let the episodes play as I fall asleep http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Sumner_Miller

Behold the unparalleled weirdness http://youtube.com/results?q=julius+sumner+miller Used to love watching him and am loving it again.

Wesley and his LEGOs http://flic.kr/p/8n3x95

@Rachelrt if so, you have introduced joy to Wesley that will surely last a long time 🙂 And if not, then some kid we don’t know 😉 win/win

Important things eventually stress you into action, it’s the unimportant things that get overlooked – I use early mornings for the latter.

(That last tweet was stolen from Rumpole and took like six re-writes to try to fit the idea in 140 characters.)

This just in: They are putting Terra back on 8-hour shifts, monday thru friday! YAY!! These 12s with no pattern which days she works suck!

Btw, Wesley’s first word this morning, within seconds of opening his eyes, was "Legos?" 🙂

@don_rivers in the back of my mind I’m always thinking "what if someone wants to RT? It’s too long!" then i think "don’t flatter yourself":P

Had fun taking Wesley to Hastings, GameStop, and Walmart. Then we had junk food lunch – chips and cheese dip! Don’t tell Terra 😀

Attn Michael Buble: When you do meet her, I don’t think there’s any woman that will be at all enchanted if you call her "kid".

MUST!! HAVE!! The amazing cups at 0:41 and 3:14 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1O1vGGqg4k&feature=youtube_gdata

HA!! Just found a huge (like almost car-tire-size) bag of Legos at Goodwill for $5. Wesley is squealing and spinning in circles 🙂

Trying out random PS3 demos – the one for Blur is Facebook and Twitter enabled.

Backflushed the Gaggia, soaking the inside plumbing with citric acid now, detail cleaning everything on the bar. Obsessive morning 😉

Well, the mystery of the leak around the portafilter is solved – the group head gasket is cracked and even missing a couple small chunks.

The descaling is getting some stuff out, but not as much as i’d hoped for and i worry about the aluminum boiler. Maybe i’ll do it again.

Well, all that took a long time but the first shot was great 🙂 Still have the new shipment of beans to bag up – then on to housework 😛

Even while eating, kitty lets Wesley stack toys on him http://flic.kr/p/8mCCms

@don_rivers I guess I have not. But, btw, Wesley is the only one in the house he is so patient with.

(I’m trying various media upload methods (YT,FB,Flickr), so you’ll see some repeats but the total (so far) is one pic, two videos.)

.@don_rivers We had to get a notarized affidavit, signed by Terra, testifying that I live here. An option WE had to research to know we had.

Making iced lattes (caramel for her, hazelnut for me), listening to Dementia Radio, browsing bad movies – it’s slumber party night 🙂

Tonight’s junk food movie – The Descent part 2 – we have very low hopes (but I love the original, only horror blu-ray I own).

.@don_rivers I think it had a limited release in UK, dvd only here. Iirc, it’s only produced by the guy who wrote & directed the original.

.@don_rivers Erm, I should probably fact check before I speak (tweet) :P. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Descent_Part_2

.@don_rivers Bottom line, Neil Marshall is the brains – he prod & dir the 1st, ex prod the 2nd. So, at least he’s keeping creative control.

Descent part2 only wishes it was as good as the 1st. (and hard to believe it was the same Dir of Photog, this was distractingly bright lit)

Btw, on writer-directors: "One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony. It is essential that one man make a film." – Stanley Kubrick

Dgmw, it wasn’t all bad – was very pleased to see there was still a lot of great claustrophopia-based fear – wasn’t just a monster movie.

It’s another make-big-changes-in-Terra’s-room day. We have some good ideas (and more junk going into the closet in Wesley’s room).

Terra’s room is much nicer now:) And my citric acid finally came, so tomorrow I descale and backflush the Gaggia – hope it works a miracle.

RT @sween: Dropped a Q-tip, but I caught it before it hit the ground. The ninja behind me said, "Whoa." Then we high-fived.

Is it really this simple? It would solve a lot of our daily problems. Hm. One way to find out.

Today would have been my dad’s 65th birthday. I was thinking of posting some of my favorite pics of him. Later – stuff to do right now.

It looks like I’ve jumped through the proper red tape hoops and i’ll get my license renewed today!! Waiting (waiting waiting) at DMV now.

No bills here in my name and DMV doesn’t accept anything I DO have (cell bill, Netflix, etc.) as proof of residency. We found another way.

You know, things at DMV would move a lot faster if so many people didn’t know the counter people and stand there and chat!!

HA! Got my license back! Finally! I will now drive us home 🙂

I feel a bit better as i read that this WordPress php exploit going around is not satisfactorily explained, so it’s not quite my fault.

And I found a new script that fixes the whole thing (not prevents) that I can run from my phone no less 🙂 But I’ll cron job it anyway.

YAY!!! (make it remote-play-capable so we can PSP it!) RT @PSLifeStyle: Disc-less Netflix Coming to a PS3 Near You – http://bit.ly/cszchg

I can’t believe i’m actually talking to someone about doing a podcast. But, a great idea is a great idea.

@Jaeckle nah, just been a podcast addict for years. The format is grey area – it is just something in pencil with a perfect co-host.

@jaeckle a long time friend is a perfect yin to my yang and people’ve always enjoyed hearing our banter. Heh, flop or perfection for sure 😛

@jaeckle (i.e., nothing worse than two guys who think because their friends think they’re hilarious means the world will, too.)

As a podcast junkie for years, i know for certain that you need more than perfect hosts – content is all that matters. I’ve seen sad cases.

Playing Gauntlet Legends on Dreamcast with @NurseTerra and Wesley. We’re in Dragon’s Lair, trying to beat the first boss.

HuhHAAAAAA!!! My new frothing pitcher is here!! (replacing the broked one.) Made cappuccinos and the milk was nearly perfect 🙂 🙂

I could swear that when Terra’s parents left at the end of their visit back in September, I heard them say "Same time next year!" 😉

Ok, yeah, the new Facebook integration with the PS3 photo and video apps is much cooler than I originally thought.

Dear NPR: It’s 520am – a story involving yodeling bleating out of my speakers at such an ungodly hour is just wrong.

RT @prdpgn: Greetings tweeps @1prdpgn has been deleted so i’ll be using this account from now on Please RT

I hate myself for loving this new Kid Rock song.

Enough with the rain already!!! Whoever’s in charge clearly didnt get the memo that this is a DESERT!!!

my site is getting infected with malicious stuff on a regular basis now. Is there someone i can pay to keep it clean or tell me what to do??

@prdpgn yeah, i’ve had a site for years and have a minimal security knowledge – enough to never have issues – but lately, i get hit a lot.

We’re watching Cirque du Soleil – Corteo. Whoever directed the filming of it should be shot. In the kneecaps.
