Alright, internet outage, if you're going to enforce an end to this 14-hour workday, I'm gonna go watch The Professional.

Today I played music, received a fun visitor, and watched a perfect movie with great friends and a famous roboticist. #prettyalrightthursday

I was having a bad day, but then I invited the pretty bank teller to the Senryu cd release show, an she seemed into it. That helps.

For the last two days, something electronic in my bedroom has been playing an alarm-style chime sound every five minutes. I've been searching high and low, taking inventory of all the electronics I own, trying to figure out what could be doing it. Finally, I tracked it down to the RAZR I used to use before I switched to the iPhone. I opened the phone to find it desperately trying to remind me that Bryan and Cat's anniversary is August 14th. When I pressed the button to acknowledge the alarm, it powered back off, its important duty complete, like Phidippides after delivering news of the victory at the Battle of Marathon.

Prior to this, the RAZR had been powered off in my closet for at least two months, so this felt a lot like the scene with the old couple in Almost An Angel starring Paul Hogan. "But George, the TV's not even plugged into the wall. There's no power in it!" "Oh, there's power in it."

I love cold weather, but I've gotta say, motorcycling, gardening, and Girl Scout cookies make the advent of warm weather pretty alright too

I play servers like an octopus organist. Configuring a new BinRock server, updating Snort signatures on 30 IDSes, and grepping 80GB of logs.

Today I awoke to an email opening with, "Hey Dan, greetings from your publicist." Squee.

The gay Asian coffee shop attendant interrupted my order to ask excitedly if my ridiculous thrift store sunglasses were Carreras. Teehee

The Mac is down, so I'm trying to do fancy video editing in Kino in Linux. Feels like trying to build a house with a Bob The Builder hammer.

If a small animal like a mouse or lizard gets into a beehive and dies, and is too big for the bees to carry it back out, they entomb it in propolis (a resin they make from tree sap etc) to keep it from rotting, and go about their lives with a dead body now a permanent feature of their home.
