“Life In The So-Called Space Age”
I got a new cell phone. A camera phone no less. My phone number (and text message address) is the same, so continue to use them. But now I can send photos, and I may do just that from Hawaii.
Within a day of getting the phone, I had of course replaced the wallpaper with a new one of my own creation. Here it is, in 128×160 resolution. If you have a better phone than mine (likely, since I know a few of you are in Australia) I could provide a higher res version…
For some time now I’d been looking for the Transcontinental Coaxial Cable Route with no luck. And then the other day during a walk we just happened to stumble onto it:
< Mr Handsome!
I mean where else would ‘they’ put a TRANSCONTINENTAL cable, other than out the back of Delmar…?
By the way, even though I may presume that of all people KLS would need to read this blog the least, she was recently bugging me that I don’t update it enough. So I will strive to increase the update rate during the summer 🙂
I was looking through a pile of old postcards that I had written (to myself) the other day. This is always fun, because I tend to write very strange things on postcards and as a result they offer an unusual series of memories related to a certain trip when read years later.
For instance, I doubt I would have remembered that as a ‘thank you’ to Adam and Bernard for letting me stay with them in 2000 I gave them a (used) copy of Gun N Smith’s (the 2003 British Pipesmoking Champion) novel ‘The Sucking Pit’:
I’ll leave comments about the worth of this gift for a future time, and instead direct you to Guy N Smiths wikipedia page, specifically to read the notable quotes, specifically the one from ‘Carnivore’. It made me laugh aloud just now…
Just now I purchased SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters DS
This is a card-game for DS featuring characters from the SNK and Capcom universes. If that means nothing to you don’t worry, since this is one of the most otaku games ever released (certainly in America). It’s been almost eight years since I played the original version for the Neo Geo Pocket handheld (one of the most otaku game systems ever…) and I’ve been eagerly awaiting this one. Of course…I won’t play it for a while due to the Pokemon frenzy I am deep in to.
