Entries this day: late-night noon late night almost 8pm Saturday 4 December 1999 (transcribed from my diary) OH MY GOD!!!It's like like - ... === EEEEEE !!!!!!!2000 is right around the corner!!!!Just like ... Bang! and it's gonna be here!!!Me an' Wende are at * Star Pizza. Today I worked on my mountain fountain for water altar at Techno Cosmic Mass. Did three different applications of Great Stuff insulation foam. It's foamy and then hardens so it can be carved or painted or whatever. It should look pretty awesome but wil definitely need tons of work tomorrow (and probably 2 more cans of Great Stuff). Also replied to Fred's unicycle message: I love it!!!!! It will take some practice. I spent 2 or 3 hours practicing in one day and was able to roll about 2 or 3 wheel revolutions. This is not astonishing, and would likely not get you to class, unless you had a pretty fuckin' big unicycle, but it's a start. . . . After Star Pizza I rented Simpson's #4 tape ("Bart Gets and F" (better known to me as the Snow Day episode (Quimby: "I hereby pronounced this day to be Snow Day, the funnest day in the history of Springfield!")) and an old Halloween Special including "Hungry are the Damned" and something else and Bart as the Raven (James Earl Jones: "Quoth the raven:" "Eat my shorts!" interrupts Bart)) and A Brief History of Time. Watched Brief History of Time before playing Ultimate. Wende fell asleep during the movie - I enjoyed the film, especially the latter half. Mostly it was a 100% geeky movie, featuring interviews of a bunch of incredibly brilliant people who knew/know Stephen Hawking. Got to UH around 11pm for Ultimate Frisbee. Five people were already there to play, and the field was soaked and muddy. (It had been raining pretty much all day) I arrived and we agreed to play a game of 3 on 3. We chose teams arbitrarily, and my team got STOMPED severely. The score was 7 to 1 when one of their guys slipped and fell sliding his knee across a shell in the field and gashed it open. We played a bit longer without him and they were still scoring against us! Mr Gashed Knee needed to leave, so the game ended (he had ridden with another guy who was playing). His knee was still crazy dirty, so I showed him where a faucet was nearby. Back home, woke Wende up and ate ice cream and watched the Simpson's episodes. Fun fun stuff. With Love
noon Okay. Enough is just that; I'm going to leave my computer for a bit. I wrote the 03today.html entry this morning and had a reference to my days old counter. Last night, I swear it was working, but today it is not. Some problem with not being able to run an applet from within the cgi-local directory. Hmmm. I'll ponder it later; but right now I'm going to work on my mountain fountain! Oh, also today I had to scrape together cash to pay for the ashford.com stock I bought yesterday. I am right now resisting looking up their market value. good job! With Love - Robpermalink |
