Milia

That's what they are called (hard little white bumps in your skin).

That's what's being ejected from me, too.  When the skin all boils and stuff, the cabbage looking chunks that come out are bumps and sheets of milia.

Grrl Power!

If the Aussies are seeing the high tide during the day in their Summer (our Winter), then it's Sagittarius that it's in.

I was off ...

Yeah, it looks like our sun's twin is in Gemini right now (poetic, eh?).  It's probably a brown dwarf, since we've never noticed it.  This year's 'king tide' is projected to be July 11th.

... is more problematic than the last.

For example, during the racial segregation period, when miscegenation was a crime, one could be in favor of interracial marriage w/o being mistaken as a participant.

On the other hand, a single man in northern California who advocates gay marriage ...

I'd Forgotten This One

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling 
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand? 
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming? 
Is this burning an eternal flame? 

I believe it's meant to be, darling 
I watch when you are sleeping, you belong to me 
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming 
Or is this burning an eternal flame? 

Say my name, sun shines through the rain 
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain 
I don't want to lose this feeling 

[break] 

Say my name, sun shines through the rain

Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming

Is this burning an eternal flame? 

An eternal flame? 

(Close your eyes and give me your hand 
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand? 
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming 
Or is this burning an eternal flame?) 

And I wrote to the Binary Research Institute as a result.

You see, I was researching sea levels, because I figured if the world really was a lot warmer in Roman times the ocean level would have been higher, too.

In any case, I came across this little tidbit regarding "King Tides":

On Australia's East Coast, the highest tides occur during the winter months of June, July and August, and the summer months of December, January and February. The highest of each of these periods (i.e., one in winter and one in summer, totaling two per year) are known as the king tides.

Now, that's intriguing, until you note the follow-up:

The winter king tide usually occurs at night and therefore goes unnoticed. Consequently the summer king tide usually catches the most attention. On such days the surf is particularly dangerous -- tall waves, long clean breaks, strong rips, consistent sets: ideal for surfing, but seductive and dangerous for inexperienced swimmers.

You see, it's pointing at the companion.  The companion is likely near/in Cancer/Leo right now.

Once we subtract the moon's influence from a large data set (historical tide charts), we'll have a much clearer clue.

That was the suggestion I sent to BRI.

A New Type of 'Virus'

I just had the most devious thought.

On a machine with a wireless card, you create a PXE Boot server (a machine that hands out boot-up instructions) that has a splash screen that looks like Windows startup, and a config script that echos everything into /dev/null (so as to not mar the pretty graphic splash screen) while remastering their hard disk to be a splendid SuSE 11, Ubutnu, Fedora, or whatever machine.

Then you go downtown, or the airport, or such, and wait for people who don't have PXEBoot turned off to boot up their laptops and make them into linux laptops.

He mentioned liking seeing the fog rolling over the mountains. Here's some through fresh pear blossoms.

There are better stage productions, but this one seems to have the best audio, and a decent cast (even if they are squashed up onto a tiny stage, as is often the case with this production).


It's got some of the best puns in it I'd heard in a long time.

Over The Top

Howard Crabtree's "When Pigs Fly" is one of the better musicals (in general) I've run across.  It's witty and well written, and it's terribly funny (at least the version I saw presented in Albuquerque).  In any case, I've looked for lyrics to the grand finale for some years, and though I remembered the CD had a fat booklet, even it didn't have them.  So I typed them in by hand:

Over the Top
by Howard Crabtree

There's a place I've dreamed about 

like paradise, but farther out.

How to get there, who can say?

There's no map to show the way.

It's waiting somewhere off the scale, 

around the bend, beyond the pale


Over the top,

I want to go over the top.

I'm ready to pack up and move 

to the place I can prove

I don't know when to stop.


I'm gonna stake my claim 

where it's never the 'same old, same old'.

Should I  just stay put, 

and paint by numbers?

Don't insult me, catapult me ...


Over the top.

I want to be more than ok.

I want to relocate my base 

to that magical place

I can go all the way.


I'll build my castle in the air, 

and that's where I'll set up shop,

when I'm o-o-o-o-o-over the top.


I want to find the spot 

where all that you've got is accepted.

Will the compromisers overtake me?  

They can't lick me, just drop-kick me ...


Over the top.

I want to be one of a kind.

I want to create a display 

that makes everyone say 

that I'm out of my mind.


When you give your all to just one dream

make sure it's the cream of the crop!

Take it o-o-o-o-o-over the top!
