Terribly Delightful… isn’t it?

    Terrible Women of South America at 45 speed… double time!

    Terribly delightful… isn’t it?

    Been Geocaching Lately. That is some fun stuff. You have probably been feet away from one several times. People hide things in the most obscure places, yet right in the normal walking path of hundreds of people. I have been by several and now that I know of them I got the GPS coordinates and opened them!

    Wow, Tool really has some beautiful music. The Tool String Tribute album I have is amazing. I have not listened to the actual band in some time though.

UN-IMPORTANT MEMORIES THAT HAVE RECENTLY FLASHED

  • Typing with I Seek You (ICQ) with friends.
  • Seeing Tool, live, twice! Couple of the greatest shows ever.
  • Seeing Primus, Colonel Claypools Bucket of Bernie Brains, two separate occasions. Awesome! Phantasm!
  • Climbing very high towers, just for the view.

    On a more serious note, there is news to declare! It is probably best that you read it for yourself. Since these things disappear from the internet, I have copied the article. You may read it below:

The City of Solana Beach emergency crews were called to respond to a possible shark attack at approximately 7 a.m. this morning. Both Fire and Lifeguard Rescue Services arrived at Tide Park to assist a 66-year-old male victim, Dr. David Martin, who was pulled from the surf by fellow swimmers and transported to Fletcher Cove Park Lifeguard station for emergency treatment…

Could this be, yet another, result of the terror that the Terrible Women of South America have brought upon us?

Google Wave

    I finally activated my Google Wave account. If anyone out there has one add me! My address is flipjargendy {at} googlewave.com.

    If you think you would use Wave, let me know. The only way you can sign up is if you are invited. Just like when Gmail started, it is still in testing. So, just like the person before me and the one before him, I’ll have anyone who wants an invite leave a comment to this post with your email address encoded in Base64. I like that idea because that way we aren’t giving bots email addresses to suck up and spam… and Base64 is so cool.

    There are some awesome pictures Rach and I came across some awesome pictures which will definitely be posted on my next post. These photos are so great! The only reason I am not posting them is because of who is around me at the moment.

Concurrent Versions of the Brain

    First Walleye in my HANDS! Ate them. My first one was 10 inches long… I snagged it! Ooops! That’s illegal! DNR man not happy.
    Bigger fish yield well. Walleye look like little sea monsters who want to desicrate your throat. They have the teensiest of fangs and eyes but no eye sockets! Yocka bo-zocka! They are almost big enough to cuddle but that would be like trying to cuddle a big bar of Sandle-wood soap. They are slippy dippy.

    At work last weekend I got a call to help a customer at the customer service desk (the “boat house”). It was very bothering because I was trying to get work done so I could get some things listed on eBay and GunBroker. When I got out to the boat house, no one was there. Then I heard someone say my name in an A.D.H.D. sort of way. It was my uncle! The last time I saw him was… way to long ago. It was great because I had been thinking of him for quite some time. His father-in-law was with him. He invited me to go fishing with him. We went… and his father-in-law, a pretty old dark horse type, had chart-plotter (GPS for boats) units all over the place on his fishing boat. He had an Aqua-Vu (under water camera system) and high tech depth/fish finder. It was very cool to see. After that experience I found out how worthless fishfinders are. The chart-plotter came in handy though. You can see the structure of the lake and find your way back in the dark! It was an experience.
    It turned out to be a great night. The moon was out and the stars are amazing up here. You can see the haze of the Milky Way like a haze of fog drifting in the air. Plus I experienced an awesome time fishing with my uncle. I told him to come up for ice fishing this winter. He sounded excited about it. Hopefully he will be able to and I will get to write about another memorable experience with him.

Snag
To hook a fish externally that has not tried to bite on your lure/bait.

    Rach is not home tonight so I make fish and wild rice food for me. She no like wild rice. Music for tonight is George Harrison….. what… I think the song that just started has a mantre in it because I think there was a lyric in there about Herr Krushna… hmmm. Pretty sure he’s at least singing about the Herr Krushna. This dude rocks some dackle saddle crops. Vinyl is good sound. Mars Volta sounds great on vinyl toozies.

––––––––––––––––––§  Time Lapse  §––––––––––––––––––

    Just through in a Jefferson Airplane album. Tonight I decided to listen to some old records I picked up when I was experimenting with music. Just listened to a little Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young but wasn’t in the mood. I used to listen to them a lot when I was nineteen. Jefferson Airplane is sleep enducingly boring but good for background noise.

Notes to self for future wonderment:

  • Words stuck in my head for years:
    • Karate Chop Massacre (From that night of long jambles and cackle blathers to Shannon and David)
    • Screemin’ Urithras (Dave Anderson.. thanks. It is a funny image in the head)
    • Poop Horse (One day it pooped popped into my head)
    • Watch out for Slim Pete! (Mulch beneath the feet in Avon at Blue Grass Festival. Chubby boy exits bus.)
    • Bogdoxy (Ry Wilks… thanks, James-ah Joyce-ah rock-sah!)
  • A rodent in the wall makes your wife want to bawl.
  • Missesseses Robinson-ah! Woah, woah, woah… you just put in Simon and Garfungckle (Thank Rach… wouldn’t have experienced, if it weren’t for you)
  • Joe Demajio – did you play baseball?
  • Percy was a scavanger little lich when he turned up in the gutter but we love him today. He thinks I saved him because I slept with him when he was a kitten and he cried and almost cut open my eye-lid. I guess I didn’t really sleep. Rachel also saved him. I thought he might have rabbies and said we should leave him in the gutter. How could I!? (¡Gracias RaeRav!)
  • Jeff Abbott where are you and your wife. Maybe I will be that guy on your couch that you make breakfast for. You won’t recognize me because I will have a beard. Don’t worry that will be okay then. Remember when we watched the lunar eclipse. Beautiful!
  • Pink Floyd, driving the overnight, watching her sleep. First time I saw a Beautiful girl! Haven’t stopped since then.
  • Get yourself a ribon for your Smith-Corona.
    • Remember where you found that?! At the Palisades sitting in the lobby of the 550. Rock! Got a free Smith-Corona.
  • Float. Fly. Liquid air. Breath under water. Phantasm.
  • Remember when your body got warm. Feels like you could lie on needles and be comfortable? The climbing vines with blooming and de-blooming flowers. The amazement and wonder at seeing the earthquake christmas lights.
  • Neu Ulm. Mein Frau und Mich das Radio spielte. Deutsch essen war gut.

Craigs for Bem

    The past few days I have been listening to The Blood Brothers. They give me spider fingers and beaver tail tongue… They are amazing.

Note: See the pictures at the bottom when you are done reading. They go along with this post. Pictures in my posts will soon be common. It is much more fun. Zugggggggaaaah.

    Craigslist has pushed in the the far stretches of Earth and added a section for Bemidji, Minnesota. There is also a Brainerd, Minnesota section which may have just appeared as well. Since there aren’t many postings in Bemidji yet I decided to add a posting in the “Free” section. Apparently it goes against the Craigslist guidelines so it was flagged and taken down. Only one person had a chance to responde to my posting for a free glass of water. He was interested but wasn’t sure about the item when he emailed me saying: “I can’t tell from the picture but is that glass half full or half empty?”.

    Abe contacted me the other day… wish I could join him. September, 11th really takes the fun out of things though… all I picture happening are people having a great time, just being gloomy the whole time or being raided by the F.B.I (J. Edgar Hoover). Either way it will certainly be fun… its going to be held at residence of Abe, Alex… and the rest of them. Wish I was there. 9-11 baby!

    Recently, went on a long drive. Stopped in a little town and saw that some kid was looking for work. Resisted the urge to call the number. Would have felt bad.

    Tonight, on the Super One bulletin board, I saw a flyer for a walk to prevent suicide… sounds like a lazy way to prevent suicide. It made me wonder how many people who drive electric wheel chairs join this walk.

    Its starting to change colors a tiny, tiny bit here. Mushrooms are popping up and I wish I had a book to tell me if I will enjoy eating them or die a horrible vomiting death. Mushrooms and Sardines are on my tongue lately. There must be some way of making those tastes converge into an Earth shatering taste craft.

    B ƒ L… Rach and I finally got to spend a day together. We walked around town and visited this amazing! rock garden a block away from our house. There is a stream and rocks and flowers! It is great. It was so nice to spend time together and relax for once. It makes me sort of happy that winter is nearing. My job will be less hours and we will be together in the house staying warm together.

    At the convention we got a new DVD, all about creation, and found out we are getting a new song book! It is nice to be the last convention of the year because none of us will have to hold back from telling about the new releases or anything!

    There were so many great points, simple ones but enormous at the same time, about keeping your mind focused on signs that will make us aware unseen things going on. It was amazing to have a convention like this. It was amazing! The drama was also great. Everything was so realistic. All of the things David’s so called friends were doing and saying to him were things people did and said to me… except for crashing a car because of drunk driving. I never crashed a car when I was under the influence of anything but fun.

    Also, I have been thinking for some time about quiting my job and doing web-design or web-development work. If anyone knows of someone who does this type of work who is looking for someone that could work from home let me know. I know it is rare but if I could do a little work like that and make enough money it would be great.

    What would this post be without pictures!?

    A-von, a friend of Rachel’s and mine invented a new word. It is probably one of the best words I have ever heard of. She deligated to me the job of creating the definition.

Zronpux [zrawn-puhks, zron-puhks]
-noun
The negative effects of electronic visual stimulation and/or too much space travel
Use: After arriving home from Pico 7 the boy watched his favorite television show then, later, slaughtered his family. Doctors said it was due to Zronpux.

-adjective
An ill minded feeling that results from electronic visual stimulation and/or too much space travel.
Use: After a long day of online schooling in the Zethron Sector of Bremtha 9, the girl complained of feeling Zronpux so her parents proceeded with a thorough course of lobotomies.

    Norra, Adnaram and Yme have left. It was great having them around. Yme is so fun to have around. It is nice to see a little, cute, soft baby. Norra made some awesome ribs and he caught the biggest Sunnies. It is a shame I cannot send them to him. It is possible that I will attemp Sushi with one fillet. If it is success I will re-attempt it when we visit them next.

    Rach and I cannot wait to visit them at their place. Norra told me he was going to give his neighbors money to do something crazy so our visit will out-do the last, when the neighbors rolled their truck in the middle of the road and tornadoes disturbed our sleep. Shooting the gun Norra found in his attic will surely make it a memorable experience. You bring the gun, I’ll bring the ammo. Just tell me the type of gun.

    After typing a little and looking at this computer screen I am feeling a little zronpux. Before I become anymore zronpux I should turn off my computer and chop off my hands.

    I just installed a new plugin (for fellow geeks: the plugin) that allows me to invite people to be notified each time I update this blog. If you are here because you received an email asking you to confirm, do it! You know me! If you want to be subscribed with a different email address let me know. It is easy to change.

    This post is just to notify anyone coming here that this is Flipjargendy! There are not many posts yet. I do not post constantly. When I do you now can receive emails informing you of updates! If you have not yet subscribed you can do so on the Subscribe page. The link is located at the top right of the page. For now take a look at my old posts, if you wish. Just so I know you have made it here leave me a comment. After all, this is my only way of communicating to you from Titan, Saturn.

    This is my first blog post using jott. It is an online service, a telephone service actually, also you can use to make notes to yourself or email friends or text message them. You can even post to your blog or to Twitter using this. I just wanted to share this with you all. It’s at Jott.com. Check it out. listen

*** Begin Typed Part of Entry ***

    That was my first test using Jott. I am very impressed. It only took about two minutes to process. At the moment I am not sure whether it is a person who transcribes the message or if it is done by voice recognition software. The actual text was just a little off but if you listened to the actual recording you can hear that I just woke up and my sentence flow fortifies the chaos theory.

Google 411

    Recently, I found out about a few helpful voice services. Each one is FREE! I heard of 1-800-GOOG-411 some time ago but did not believe it was actually free! It is and very helpful. It is certainly much easier then texting Google and reading the response. Plus you cannot text while driving a car… well you can… and I did once. Nothing happened but it was stupid of me. I recommend Google 411.

Cha Cha

    There is another one that I think would come in handy now and then, maybe in a dispute over some menial fact with a friend, like, Who is the smartest person in the world? In a situation like this Cha Cha would probably return an answer like: Marilyn vos Savant, an American magazine columnist, author, lecturer and playwright who rose to fame through her listing in the Guinness Book of World Records under “Highest IQ”.

    Cha Cha is easy to use. Simply dial 1-800-2-ChaCha and ask your question. A few minutes later you will receive a text message with the answer. The questions are recorded and played back to someone who searches for the answer online. So there is some room for error but for the most part the answers seem to be spot on.

    One thing I did not like is that you receive three text messages. One confirming that your question has been submitted, another confirming that it has been submitted and that other charges may apply (I am unsure what the other charges are) and finally the third one answering your question. If you are like me and do not have text messaging plan, this could add up quickly if you use Cha Cha often.
