I think I will waste time blogging from the ‘pod when waiting rather than game playing.

So… day one: Sept 15!
Today I am installing 10.5.5. Always a special time as you wait to see what breaks. Hopefully nothing.

Sept 18
Sitting waiting for my first MRI. Dental. Then surgery. Woof.

I suppose I should be happy that I might get back to a fully functioning mouth.

I’m other news it’s my mom’s false birthday today so I get to call her and explain that I didn’t forget

Sept 19
Turns out it was a CT scan not a MRI. And it turns out it was $1100 in more bone grafting and another 5 months. Blech! Called my mom; I have a great mom if everyone elses reaction is any indication of what her reaction should be to tardy phone calls…

Today is about drugs: mine and hers. Selfmediction is for the birds. It’s all about what the doctor says!

Well I think this post is done. I shall leave you with a picture. Ciao for now…

— Posted From My iPod

1.) Allia was good
Who would’ve thought. I always saw here  more of a “don’t look at me, I’m not here” kinda person. Now if she just developed some musical taste the world could possibly be a much better place because of her. Still we have her to blame for all that is Pedro so…

2.) Les is back from Leadership school
And I really believe the two of us would make one good leader. Of course we’d have to glue our circulatory systems together to prevent us from killing each other without killing ourselves. But maybe that’s not too much to ask Still we both have our messes to deal deal with. Maybe I will stop with the passive and just become the aggressive: that way everyone will hate me and I could have some fun with it…

3.) I worry too much
See 2 above.

4.) I want to go
France man, I’m so tired of youtube videos, google earth, stupid other people’s stupid blogs and being surrounded by people who refuse to excited. Then Wells Grey, Squamish, a little jetskiing, trad climbing. I want to go.. to go… to go…

5.) I wanna climb
I’ve only been out once this year. It sucks. Z is working too much.

6.) Z is making me crazy.
He’s been great for the last week. Attentive, thoughtful and hint of joie de vivre. WTF? Stop screwing with your old man for christ sakes; I’ve got enough problems ( see 2, 3, 4, and 5 above). Still it’s nice to see. Now I have to figure out how far to take it seriously…

7.) I really need to have more friends
I’ve been out and about with more new people in the last 6 months than in the last 6 years. It is a good thing and I really should work harder at it. Still I can never shake the feeling that… you know… that feeling…

8.) This is getting silly
I started out with a few random thoughts  to help settle my urges and it’s just getting bizarre. You can’t fix things: not online, not in person, not in fiction and not in film. As the wise greek guy Pete says in Muppets Take Manhattan, “Peoples is peoples…”

9.) The Tipping Point
Apparently according to L  (and Malcolm Gladwell, in his book The Tipping Point), there are 3 types of people who make things happen. According to her I am a Maven. Others are not. Other might be Salesmen or Connectors. I am not these things. Of course according the book’s gospel like tone most people aren’t any of these things, so that’s something…right? Maven’s collect knowledge and have knowledge on a lot of different [insert noun here].

I have to admit it confuses me when others don’t see that making things happen is the ultimate goal of our existence, not filling forms, not fulfilling routines, not doing what’s right. Who the hell cares in the end if we have a perfectly maintained but static existence. Well, I guess those people who are working towards maintaining it do, but still, I have a messy house: deal! If I make a book or a poem or write my name in the snow with pee aren’t I better off, even if I haven’t yet gotten around to filing my taxes?

Now the counter argument would be I have no freedom to avoid my day to day if not for the support of the button pusher sand form fillers but to them I say what would be the point of filling the form if the form didn’t enable us to build the Canadarm?

Where does this leave me? Right where I am, where I always have been: here.

The following was supplied as an update on the status of Pedro. Hmmmmm,

Hmmm, I think this version

…was more lifelike than the obvious statue!

I came across this and it made me smirk. I could totally trap a few people I know…

Because she’ a luddite and has foresworn this new interweb thng, I bring you…

Pedro!

(She who remains unnamed) but of previous fame!

After much trial, tribulation and ado, the kitten arrives!

With all this up, it’s obvious that the cat must climb. Climb kitten, climb!

A cat nap: defined in living colour (and fur… and claws… and purrs…)

TV bad! The wire is the culprit…must kill wire!

I ran across a reference to this comic strip the other day so I started reading it. I just got through all 1000+ strips and I have to say its one of the best things I’ve found online in a long time. Well worth slogging through 3 years old of strips…
