Sadly, a call for assistance…

Hi all,

Well, as expected; shimmeringjemmy has also come down with the crud that I got last week. Unfortunately, while not as expected, I’m now a week in and still suffering from back spasms.

So, I’m putting out a general call and request. I’d like to invite folks over during the evenings this week (Well generally anytime Monday-Wednesday) who wouldn’t mind helping us do some packing. We will joyously supply food and the like to any that might care to join in the ‘fun’

Please either drop a comment or some email to me. (We’d rather plan ahead than have anyone suddenly surprise us.

Anyone’s help will be appreciated.

Maybe I should just boycott India

Got a phone call this afternoon asking me to take a survey on my pizza delivery from yesterday. Annoyingly, the caller spoke some of the worst broken English I’ve dealt with. The accent was most assuredly Hindu/Indian in origin.

She was calling on behalf of a survey company purchased by the Pizza dealer. Yet, was unfamiliar with the product line.

I really wish there was a way to detect, “Yes, this person is in India” and terminate the call.

This gives me a chance to display my new icon (at least the first stab at it)…

I call it Bunnythwump.

I’ve wanted this icon for a while. The moment I saw the video, I had to eventually make the icon.

I painstakingly made it by hand by taking frame-by-frame pictures of a quicktime movie of the flash movie “Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me.” – If you haven’t seen this work already, go view it at the previous link. If you have seen it…. Go watch again. Then look at other animation by Bernard Derriman at his website Squetch.

That is all for now. And yes Virginia, there is a 9-post-in-a-day-Andrei.

Andrei in a nutshell: The nectarine

To truly understand Andrei, you have to understand how much 70’s pop TV knowledge is crammed in his head.

shimmeringjemmy walked in the bedroom eating some fruit.

“Peach?” I asked
“Nectarine…” she replied.

I promptly went into a high pitched voice,
“I’ll pick the nectarine and throw it down to you”

She looked at me puzzled.

“I suppose there’s little use trying to explain the Koozbanian Geefle and Gonk.”

I have since attempted to explain.

Gonk: “Let’s call it ‘cooperation.'”
Geefle: “No… let’s call it, ‘Shirley.'”

Note: no images are to be found via google at all. Score!

Teeny rumbler

Sitting at my office desk catching up on paperwork. The room rumbled a bit. I walked over to shimmeringjemmy, “Okay, that was an earthquake.”

It really was minor here. This is primarily because we’re on a mountain road. It’s not a big mountain, but it’s definitely enough to buffer some of the shock. Basically people at the bottom of the hill probably felt about 3-3.5, we got about 1.5-2.

With Anza’s quake at the beginning of the week and this one, it would seem that we have a very unhappy fault line.
