My exciting life, this place
Went to church-Erika made a bookshelf, we went to the library to get a reading certificate for free lunches, In ‘n Out, bookstore, Trader Joe’s, taxes with TurboTax, church, play football with kids, swim, meeting at school, work review, raise, and the usual.
McClellan quit. Guess he got tired of lying. 100th anniversary of the big San Francisco earthquake.

Get a ride into a thing with Ed P-waiting on the curb.
Rainy, playing with characters, singing to make the rain go away and it did.
Trying to go somewhere, on some street leading to the freeway. Stopped. A line of cars in front of me. A car comes flying past, and another slams into the line of cars. The occupants are OK, one car spun into the trees.
Up super early Friday so I could leave early, take Erika over so she can go to a church education thing in San Diego, clean up, interesting earth realm thing, headache, laze, visited Tamiya and watched Rodney race, a tank battle, go to church to setup for casino night, no childcare, so I took the kids to Playmates, up late, church, get Erika, Colin was sick, kids visited and a health fair, Sealight, and the usual. Matt had the week off-spring break.
Not much-more civil war in Iraq, generals are calling for Rumsfeld’s resignation, a new thing about Rumsfeld OKing abuse. RedHat bought jBoss.
I don’t think I downloaded anything…Turbo Tax…
Page 23, Sentence 5: “Yet there was spirituality in Spinoza’s atheism, since he experienced the world as divine.”
Flying in a plane.
At work, Gadi W bitches that all I’m doing is chatting to people.
<sigh>, another week has passed. I just don’t know where the time goes. Not much happened this week-a birthday party at a local park, kids got wet, church, Erika broke her toe-dr’s, played in another local park, kids got wet, it’s been rainy, picked up Naked Lunch at the library, and the usual school and work. Been posting to experts-exchange.com. I have some things about the sun and lenses about to bubble into an essay.
The only real news that I’ve noted is that Tom DeLay quit. About time. I mean, really. When you’re facing corruption charges, no one trusts you. He denied it’s because of that, though. C’mon, dude. Face reality. Apple released a beta of a thing to dual boot Intel Macs. Pretty cool. Libby said that Bush authorized intel leaks. No duh. More immigration protests, more unrest in France and new protests in Nepal. Where next? Iraq? China? Saudi Arabia? Here’s a cool article: An Atheist Manifesto. I don’t agree with all of it, I don’t think science has everything that I have experienced buttoned up yet, but it’s a solid piece.
Not many downloads: Groovy on Rails. G’bye.
Page 23, Sentence 5: “Scopolamine is often effective in dissolving resistance, but it impairs the memory,: an agent might be prepared to reveal his secrets but quite unable to remember them, or cover story and secret life info might be inextricably garbled.”
In a casino, buy a chain of them-one is underperforming, drive to Costa Mesa on the 405 to clean it up and sell it. Go into the hotel and stand in line for the elevator-others are saying which one is which.
At work, messing with my monitor setup, someone asks me to do something outside-get the kids arranged, start making announcements and someone else starts to. I get upset and leave-they try to get me to come back-I continue working on my monitor setup.
At a thing, lots of OHS alums form my class are there, including enemies. I go up to one and chat and mention that I’m a black belt. I go to a field and play with a nunchaku that someone is using-I ask them if they know that they’re illegal, some security guy comes over.
Here we go again. The week has flown by. Erika’s dad is in the hospital. We have NO MONEY. Please give-generously. Thanks. This is bad. Not much happening-working, school.
And here’s the week: movie at work, visited my parents, art thing in Pasadena, watched Monster’s Inc., church, The Witness, Charo Chicken, rainy, no money. Blew this off until Friday, took the day off so Erika could do her thing, went on the walk at school.
Not much this week-increasing my online activism, HUGE marches against HR 4437. This isn’t the way to solve undocumented immigration. We can’t say “close the borders” and “we need cheap labor” at the same time.A strike and riots in France. The Chief of Staff quit-it’s about time the White House got new people in-ha-and this isn’t it.
Some downloads:commonSense database, scratch, Easy Mobile Programming, gConvert Icon editor, Jabber 2.0, RIFE, ruby on rails, sinedots, Lens pro, Eye candy-I needed to do a glass button effect…
Getting my red sports car fixed. They’ve changed the tools around. Get a tux and it had writing on it-the kids put more. Take it back to the person. Try to get into some house-get in and chat. There’s a rocket test-we watch it and it comes to ground nearby with lots of sparks-we get under a roof. I go back and get my computer up again. in some parking lot and decide to go to the mini gym that’s there. Chat with the chick running it.
On some road, want to turn, a whole line of bikers going the other way-guy says don’t go that way. Went straight. Down some hill and around to a store, looked around.
Driving to US with E. We’re going up Shaker and I tell her where to go and get lost by Euclid, we go down some hill and there’s an odd rock shaped species of bird/mammal. We drive around to the entrance and go in. Class of ’41 is there. We walk in, play in a play area, look at the trophy room, E wants to check email and a nice chick says OK, we chat and her and E kvell.
Walking around a park. Get on a skateboard and roll slowly along. Go onto something that lifts me up into the air.
in the office, getting a router replacement-screwing around to get it installed.
In LB, a yard sale. Tom T has an expensive synth cube for $100, I check it out.
I blew this off last week. Busy. No time. My laptop died. Working 3 jobs, kids, school, church, that’s about it. And I just noticed that last week was the 10th anniversary of my first post! Yay! Go me! A lot of things have happened since then, and there’s a 2½ year gap.
The last 2 weeks-nothing much-watched Harry Potter, church, lunch with Tracy & family at Hof’s Hut, saw their new house, Ikea, work, Erika was sick last week, ate at Chili’s, parent’s meeting at school, speedcleaned the house, edited the SeaLight, interesting revelation in the shower, kids ate at work, there was a health fair at work, my laptop died (got replaced yesterday), had a so-so mexican dinner, went skating with the boys while Erika shopped, played racquetball too, church, had dinner with friends, and work, sleep, school, play with kids, Spring Equinox, tried to give blood-still no, as long as they don’t have a test for mad cow.
Milosevic died-looks like self-administered OD. A lot of people turned out for the funeral. The world baseball classic came and went-whoopee. A huge cricket event->400 runs in a day match. Found another case of mad cow in the US-Colbert said a funny about it. South Park lost Isaac Hayes because of the Tom Cruise closet ep-and they promptly skewered $cientology even more. Ouch. That wacky Pat Robertson is at it again-this time saying Islam isn’t peaceful & extremists are Satanic. Whatever-no one’s listening anymore. Puffy McMoonface and Chimpy are getting tough questions now-Chimpy called on Helen Thomas! first time in three years. Dude. Jessica Simpson snubbed the White House. Hee. And Saddam gave a big speech at his trial-it is such a joke now.

Page 23, Sentence 5: “For straightforward behavior, practice in Dhyana may be dispensed with.”
Walking along a catwalk, through some school.
Some rural buildings, walking around. A big storm is coming-snow-have to get away-too late-some kid is climbing where he shouldn’t be and falls to his death. I tell the cop that I saw the whole thing.
