when ADD is an asset

when looking for images of this, the object of Lord Cream Horn's obsession:





I get distracted by an image of Pepto Bismol Ice Cream:


(Recipe for PB Ice Cream is here)





But then I get sucked into the page that the original image came off, and became distracted (this was at 7:00 a.m.....it is now 10:15 p.m....such is the life of a ping pong tournament in one's head at all times). That page lead me to a magazine that features "cultural inventions and novelties" the likes of which I think only the Japanese could create. Turns out that alot of them weren't by the Japanese, but still...

Here's a preview of what is available on GUSH, the site that fully distracted me, and I will not visit again:


PRIVACY SCARF when working in cold temps of the National Archives









GLOVE COAT: now you can find a use for all the single winter gloves you have at the end of the winter











Concentration for further elucidation on this blog is now suspended, because I'm distracted by the cat...

as promised...2 years ago...

I think I'm waxing nostalgic for my my travel days...either that or I'm getting in my annual "I want to move to Seattle" mood. It's probably the latter. I don't miss business travel.


Way back when in 2005, when i was infinitely more creative and Lord CreamHorn was just as scathing as he is today, I posted this. At the very bottom of this true story, I promised info on psychos in Seattle and never delivered.

Here's what started it: The Totem at Elliot Bay in Seattle









photo: PictureNinja
Yes, the sun does in fact shine in Seattle. They get 6 months of rain, but no snow, so why that's a problem for people I'll never know. But I think Seattleites play up the rain to keep the Californians out. Oh no...I just blew their cover...

Picture the park on a day much like that one, with no people in it (it was mid day, during the work week) except for one. I have a 35mm camera with me with a wide angle lens (1st mistake...but my Dad was reticent to even loan me the camera in the first place, let alone additional lenses) so I'm struggling to find a decent position on the hill where I can get a shot of the totem...and there she was...

Here's what happened:
ME: "hi" (New Englanders aren't as rude as you'd think)SEEMINGLY NICE FEMALE: " Ok - you can stop right there"ME: "excuse me?"SEEMINGLY NICE FEMALE: "every time you come near me you end up taking something"ME: "really?"NOW SEEMINGLY DISTURBED FEMALE: "yes you do and don't even say that you don't. Just keep walking"ME: "I just want to get a photo of the... (I now notice the angry yet strangely calm look on NSDF's face)...OK"

I slink down the slope at the park get a photo and it turns out to have the sun behind the totem so that shot is blurry, but you take what you can. I slink back up. If I'm going to be accused of stealing any of NSDF's possessions from her backpack, I want to at least look the part.
ME: "Bye, now"NOW SEEMINGLY RATIONAL FEMALE: "Bye. (all smiles) have a great day"

If they are out there...they find me.


Next time: San Freak-cisco

I'm back with a question...and more...

QUESTION: Does anyone know which Castlevania for PS2 has the picture of the 3 headed gargoyle on the main menu screen? I need to get me ears on the motet that is sung on the main menu screen.

MORE:
After much unsubtle prodding from Chick88, the blog is back. Since I owe her so much, I figured it was the least I can do.
MUCH MORE:
I quit my job in April. It is a liberating thing being jobless, though mostly I'm liberated from money, which stinks. But since I couldn't have my prime number birthday party in October due to what was turning out to be a terminal house guest, I figured I'd do something equally stupid, so I quit. I don't miss it - even a little. I'm looking to be gainfully employed now. Help.
SO MUCH MORE:
After being the Ambassador General to the Naysheen, I have a cat that lives with me. Bonus: he brought an owner with tons of books. Fortunately for them, I also love them both.
MORE THAN I CAN STAND:
Of course, this blog space serves only as a venue for Lord Cream Horn (aka Captain Cream Horn) to share his genius with the internet. This is also his venue for scathing insults against the blog's authoress.

Look for "best of" posts, and return of "Quien Es Mas Macho" and the "Monthly Acronym Challenge" to be in full effect soon.
