I'm still peeved

Dell ... you're going to hell!

Tech support is great, but customer service, "You have got a serious attitude problem, man!"

Dell to Hell

My charger is going bad. I went online to buy one.
I couldn't find it.
"You can't buy it online", said a tech support man.

Let me get this straight. An integral part of my computer ... can't be easily bought?
No.

I bought one, after being on the phone for 1 hour with two tech support guys and 1 sales parts guy -- $80 after shipping and taxes

I called customer service and got, "Do you want to buy the part or not" -- nothing like, what can we do for you ... anything.

Skip Dell. It is my last purchase with them.

high rise cottage

Cerpicio's family has a cottage and they are protecting it from the hundred-year flood, by raising it. He mentioned that it is lifted six feet off the ground and will be raised and finished in two weeks. That's cool!

Hey! Get pictures!

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. ix

The UFOs, as it turns out, are aircraft flooding the area over the blacked-out Iraq/Iran. They position themselves over the area, preparing for a massive assault. Two large missiles have been fired at a level of 30 feet, skimming over the ground to their targets. The payload is thermonuclear.

In the last moments before, Kherramabad disappeared, small blips of power were becoming available in pockets of Iran. Singular phone calls were placed, catching up on lost news … allaying worries of death and sickness, everything was just fine.

[deafening silence]

Missile two strikes near the Iraq – Iran border; people, roads, mine fields, military all disappear without voices. Communication is still blacked out, but a mushroom cloud is impossible to hide. Clearly, this is no act of God – it is an attack.

US and British intelligence leak that a large cache of nuclear material was activated, causing the border explosion, while the second explosion is credited to Iran’s hasty development of nuclear weapons. Iran and Iraq cannot offer any story, as they are still blacked out.

Paula - Dan (could be PK Dojo)

Paula, it appears -- now reaching her black belt first degree can become an instructor if she so chooses. Paula and Cerpicio had a celebration for her achievement, in which I botched the time, arriving well after everyone had left. Sorry I put a dent in the evening, but that movie we saw needed lots of viewers to assure you that you weren't missing something, but rather that it was foul!

Anyway, the belt, bearing her name is neat, with a bar on the side indicating her degree (1st). She mentioned that there are stages to get to the each degree, a number of years roughly equivilent to the ranking of degree, so that the 2nd degree takes 2 years, 3rd three and so on. Therefore, a person who has a 9th degree is likely an older person, yes?

I hope that she does with it what she wants. Sometime I would like to see her work. Cerpicio was not enchanted by the prospect of her demonstrating on him.

profanity F* used equally in Pulp Fiction

Evil Dead had less blood and less brutal killings

Evil Dead had a beginning, middle, and end -- a simplistic plot to follow

I guess the writers here, F*ing forgot the F*ing thing! F*! What a F*ing terrible waste!
Foul, crude, stupid, pointless

I guess the title should have been Cabin F*ing Fever F*ing Bitch!

Monks, monastery and madness

dreams from a wirling dervish -- emptiness and fullness in a mad Russian's nightmare

Tuesday night -- dreams of monks and monastaries; why, I don't know.

Thursday night -- dreams of watching a mirror and everything in the mirror was going backward

Dr. Kevorkian says, I drink too much coffee? One tip -- eat fewer pillowcases and include a hormone replacement therapy

I just don't sleep well. You'd think I could. I've had enough practice over my more than three decades.

Tired Will sat on my lap and took pictues with my phone.

Quirky sense of being

I was dunk'd

I agreed to be in a dunk tank. It was my first time. It wasn't bad, the water was warm, but the air and wind were terribly cold. Ouch!

The principal was there before me, but I understand that I was dunked more often than he was. How's that?!

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. viii

More reports are in and there is no second incoming object, thankfully.

Under the fog of communication lapses, the US military moves into better positions in Iraq and Iran. The NEO, as it turns out was a long-ago sent “weather satellite” that held its position for a while. A piggy-back craft grabbed it and started it on its new trajectory – Earth. The missile, had it fired wrong would have started WW III, but as it was, successfully sped up and exploded in space over the Arab region. The communication blackout was a success and the battle will soon begin.

Operation A21-F (07 AD, completion of Arab ‘dis-ownership’ *in 2007) underway. Its target start date off by 14 weeks, but will 2007 might be the end of the Arab-Muslim realm. Generals in the Non-Muslim Pact have pledged support pending initial successes over the first four weeks of the silent operation. While no longer needing to claim NEOs, other communication blackouts will continue to shroud the area, like a non-dissipating storm. A rain of so-called counter terror is massing. The Tsunami army will strike soon and hard.

Reports of UFOs are now common over much of Africa and Southern Europe.
* dis-ownership, a.k.a. destruction

Cat scratch fever

or, that's what I'll call it. I was at Dave's and Cinder came up to see people. I started scratching her and she would not let me stop. She lied on the floor and continued to want scratched. More ... more, never enough! I'll go cooky!

Cinder is a cute pudgy-looking cat, with loads of loose fur, people-loving. Will, however, chased her around a little last night, barking like a dog.

Unbearable lightness of being "It"

Not the evil clown creature of Stephen King, but rather:

Trying to approach a couple of kids during their recess time and their mad dash scurrying away from me --"Ah! (giggle giggle giggle)"

I wound up playing tag and was again reminded of how out of shape I am. They were hanging on me at times so the "it" could tag me. Other times they would herd around me like hungry pigeons saying "Me!" "Can't touch me!" "Tag me!" and so on

It was a good time that earned me a "higher" status with them, rather than mediocre tyrant who likes control and less noise. It was well worth it in the end.

Typically, there were several injuries on the playground, unrelated to tag and a couple of times running -- shoes flying off feet because they weren't tied. This is a typical "fashionable" thing to have -- like basketball shoes untied (Sadly, never credited to Run DMC). I remember doing that in the 80s.

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. vii

Day two and there are known power outages and general chaos in the Iraq area. There is no power, no phones work and most vehicles seen are inoperable. The military has confirmed that some communication loss is correct, but it will be re-established. Visitors to the area have mentioned no change except for a general lack of power and communication.

The second NEO has now been confirmed by other specialists. It appears to be the same size, but moving faster. Since Urich was destroyed on the atmosphere, it is predicted that this new NEO will also. US military is sending supplies to the affected areas, but communication is still lacking.

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. vi

The object increased speed, broke apart and seemingly disintegrated over the area of Iraq and Iran. There appears to be no fallout, but communications have been disrupted. Military communications stopped at the moment of impact of the object on the atmosphere. Satellite images of the area show nothing new, but some satellites have been inoperable.

Some cell phone users are complaining from lack of service. Emails have been coming through with sketchy details. Some cities appear to be powerless. There appears to be a strange absence there.

The US has not confirmed or denied military communication errors, though persons talking with servicemen at the time were cut off suddenly and weren’t able to reconnect.

The US had sadly mentioned today, its discovery of what appears to be another NEO. No other nation has verified this.

in command of nothing

I have finished a long-term assignment, now I have bits here and there again.

I think, with my experience with other children, that I am that fat jolly old elf ... summer time Santa, not threatening ... you can punch him, bounce on him, and he still gives you presents. With that, I wonder if I am that, which is why I have some difficult time convincing children/students that I mean business and that like-it-or-not, learning and practice is what we do.

I guess Buzz Lightyear can't be a teacher, perhaps -- although the one time that I never think of "its a payday", teaching isn't the perfect fit. All other jobs it was ... working for the pay. Teaching, I like so much, that apart from bills and debts ... I never think of the money. It is a fun ... it is work, but I never think of "its a job". It is what I do --- fun, work, accomplishment. There I achieve!

I'll be sad to leave it.

It's better to burn out

than to fade away ...

my father's friend, slowly degenerated ... lost hearing, vision, co-ordination, then finally died from prostate cancer. His wife had to put him in a retirement/assisted living home, as she couldn't adequately care for me. What a sad way out. Lost of vision, hearing, so there you are, alone with your thoughts, then -- you fade into your next form.

Perhaps it is better to burn out. I am sorry for the loss to these loved ones. I met him a few times. He was a nice man, resembling somewhat, Walter Matthou.

Pains of civic duty

I have agreed to be volunteered to be in a dunk tank at a school. There are some kids who will be "gunning" for me. Thankfully they are pie-throwing. 30 minutes and I'm done, wet and off to Dave & JJ's (include here Will and Andrew).
