Ecchi has kept down 3/4 of a (tuna fish-sized) can of high protein cat food, pumped directly into her stomach. I was unable to see her today, because I am very exhausted and need to save my strength to get everything I have going done in time.
Need sleep. More tomorrow.
Ecchi the cat has fallen ill. She had not been eating for well over a week. She had lost a lot of weight, and was very sluggish. She seemed to be sleeping more than usual, and had no interest in her favourite toys or moist food.
She was admitted to the animal hospital last Friday.
People seem to have gone nuts over this new phone thing from Apple. I am not really getting it – it’s a convergence device, sure, but I don’t see anything revolutionary, except perhaps the multifinger touchscreen, and the fact that it’s an ultraportable running OSX. I’ll avoid listing the positives and negatives in detail, because everyone else already has done….
I wanted to remind people of what innovation from Steve Jobs & his crew used to look like…and also a poignant reminder of the fact that these keynote addresses are about 20% technology, 80% showmanship.
Jump to Trunk Monkey’s copy of the Lost 1984 Mac Video. (And while you’re there, watch the trunk monkey videos!)
Oh, and Woz, if you’re out there reading this, Apple ][ Forever! ;)
Some nights, I can’t sleep no matter how hard I try. Tonight was one of those nights. I sat in bed overcome with frustration, worry and fear, and I can’t stop letting it get to me.
I need help from you guys, my friends. For the first time in a long time, I’m gonna bare my soul honestly on this blog, because I can’t think of any other place to let this out constructively. Comment if you can, I need advice. I don’t know what to do.
Tom Baker seems to have gotten up on the right side of bed today.
Caught by skewed, and a bunch of other fans, then screencapped by me:
Heroes 1×06, only a few minutes into the episode. (Bryan Fuller is a producer on Heroes, apparently.)
Jaye Tyler lives! Perhaps she’s a hero too?
Earlier today, my friends online and I were reading this alternative video game controller article, and bemoaning the fact that the accordion controller depicted doesn’t really exist. We all agreed that we’d totally buy an Accordion Hero videogame.
Thus ensued a bevy of alternative music game controller titles:
14:16 < @Wohali> that's a cute controler, conty
14:17 < @Wohali> can we play weird al songs?
14:17 < @Conty> Wohali: We can play Weird Al dad's songs!
14:17 < @Wohali> oktoberfest!
14:17 < @OldCrow> a pitch convertor controller would be cheap to make these days
14:18 < @Conty> Then we can have Accordion Hero: HEINO Edition!
14:18 < @OldCrow> I mean, one DSP for kazoo hero wouldn't need to be exactly studio quality
14:18 < @Wonky-P> conty, how about moonshine jug hero?
14:19 < @Wonky-P> how about wet finger around the glass hero?
14:19 < @Wonky-P> pan flute hero
14:20 < @Conty> Wonky: Glass Harmonica Hero!
14:21 < @GoofyRobo> I would so buy accordian hero
14:22 < @Wirc_Hat> Pan Flute Hero: The Legend of Zamfir
14:23 < @ShinoWrk> Saxophone Hero, Kenny GX
14:23 < @Wohali> Lawrence Welk's Bubblemania
Which ones would you buy?
P.S. Holding on one more day – woke up feeling pretty good, so I’m staying in forced bedrest another 24h. If this doesn’t do it, I’ll head into the hospital tomorrow.
serious back problems. nasty muscle strain (I hope!) falling down stairs. Been in bed a week now. Heading to doc tomorrow. Cross fingers.
What fun, a holiday motorcycle ride about town with my new friend and bike mentor. I am feeling more confident every day – but not foolhardy! I can’t wait to ride around town more. And the gasoline bills are definitely to my liking.
For those of you waiting for your meme responses, they are online now at the previous post. Sorry for the delay; I was in the process of website and gallery migration, and those things had to occur first. For the record: Gallery 2 has a neater interface, but it slower and cumbersome to setup and configure, compared with Gallery 1.
The baby is so cute! I’ll have photos posted soon.
Make a comment on my journal, anything will do. (Registration required. I then burn your email address as a sacrifice to the Goddess of Anti-Spam and forget it ever existed, unless you ask me to keep a copy.)
(originally from gavv on livejournal – who’s indirectly reminded me that the occasional journal meme can be a whole lot of fun!)
