One year later..., originally uploaded by fyrehou.

New Page 1One year later, and I still think about Jaws every day. Sometimes I still hear the clink of his collar. ...and yes, i still have pics of him on my phone. He passed on 02/21/10, so I'm a few days late with this... But I'm sure you'll forgive me. (and yes, he's upside down. The big goof was hanging his head off the end of the bed) Sent from my Cricket mobile device

Never seen this before..., originally uploaded by fyrehou.

The label of the HEB (a Texas-based grocery chain) brand "quench" (ala gatorade) drink lists not only calories, but under that they show "Contenido Energetico". Then they list it first in kilo-jules (kJ), then again in calories (or "kcal) which is what calories really are. So this has 238 kilo-jules of energy per serving. Never seen that before, it's only shown in Spanish on this bottle, but i think it's pretty freaking cool. You can barely make it out in the pic. My phone-cam isn't that good.

Sick as a dog, originally uploaded by fyrehou.

New Page 1

Im not sure why dogs are said to be sick. Have you ever seen what a cat yacks up? Yeah. So thursday morning i lept up from the couch and headed for the b/r at warp speed. I took a tumble in the hallway and twisted my left ankle and bruised the underside of my stomach pretty bad. I then spent 2.5hrs on the pot.Yeah.There began two days of an illness i don't much remember. Thankfully. Not until my father woke me up by visiting at my request (with a bag of gatorade and some sprite and ginger ale), as well as his Christmas gifts for us, do i remember much of anything. I'm only just now getting back to food. The wife is cooking me some chicken broth and noodles.I'm having to be careful not to laugh as my stomach is still bruised. Fortunately i'm starting to feel like laughing, though. Dad got us a 32" Vizio LCD, so bedroom gets the l/r's old 28" CRT. Woot. Wife is happy. I'm happy. Now to get better so i can set it up.

Wheee!!!!!!, originally uploaded by fyrehou.

I picked up a refil on my Norco (like extra strength vicodin), today. After not having taken it very much this past month (my pain protocol changed), my tolerance to it went way down for the first time since i was in the hospital the first time back in June of '09. When i got home my leg was bothering me badly, so i took two, my usual old dose, and then thought "it's really hurting..." and took a third. ...shortly after that, all i felt like doing was closing my eyes and floating away as the world went "whee-hee-hee!!" around me.It was a nice feeling.It also reminded me why it's a good idea to phase new and/or different meds in and out over time (to avoid addiction to any one). So that you can have an ahhh awww wheee moment too, here's a picture of our kitten Spooky, asleep on my chest.

How the fushigi was done. See the thumb, and the first finger hold?, originally uploaded by fyrehou.

New Page 1

This is how it was done. See my thumb going back behind the ball? It's crooked at the knuckle so i'm getting leverage, plus it's hiding the thumb well. The first (index) finger is also in a particular position. Positioned so as to allow for the maximum of traction, yet still look as if the ball were floating. In other words, the finger doesn't obscure the clear acrylic area up top, so you see the metal ball and what appears to be clear space between the ball and my hand.Neat little thing, this Fushigi. Looks like it's going to be both a challenge and fun to learn. Plus just holding it and playing with it, even if I'm just rolling it around, etc, is relaxing. Not a bad buy for $20, as a christmas present to myself. It was between that and the $15.00 poker set in the aluminium case at wal-mart (hint hint), but I've wanted one of these, so..... :)

To be honest, that's just my //current// TBR stack. There's other books on the table that I've finished, and a whole //case// of books in my full TBR stack, although I have to sort them out again from the move... And, I'm sure I'll find a few more to add to the mix as I do. I always do.
