Dang, that's back alley wino booze...
Thunderbird and Night Train... Hwoo...
But only from a paper bag.
In a glass it's an ironic hipster drink.
cold and windy today. Temperature 65 degrees and the winds are at 25 MPH.
Shocked: Spending time in isolation binge watching "Game of Thrones". I'm up to season 5. Oh, so many evil, evil women
So many schemers. Although, I've known a few who would have fit right in.
Highly unlikely unless you are posting from the Serengeti... Lion attacks are becoming pretty rare on Long Island... even Komodo dragons attacks aren't as common as they were back in the 90s... well, at least on the South Shore...
It is far more likely that you'll be eaten by a herd of squirrels or a marauding gang of chipmunks... Since the beginning of the pandemic, Squirrel and Chipmunk attacks have increased... as high as 217.6% in the last month and a half alone... and that's probably not even a statistic I just made up because I was too lazy to see if that was actually a real thing or not... but who knows...
All over the island people have been going missing while squirrels and chipmunks are becoming more numerous... some say it's because people are in quarantine and squirrels and chipmunks are coming back from their southern migration to Florida... others say I'm insane and squirrels and chipmunks don't migrate...
But I ask them this... Why not?
That would be so cute... flocks of squirrels and chipmunks in tiny little Hawaiian shirts getting off Southwest flights at MacArthur... waiting for their little bags to not show at the baggage carousel... waiting around for their Uber rides while complaining about the peanuts on the flight.
They'll be starving and that's probably why you'll get eaten by them.
I'm sorry I'm not sugar coating this... I'm out of regular sugar and and the dark brown sugar is hard as a rock because someone left the bag open.
I'm also guessing that since you have mentioned that you work near the airport, these squirrels have seen you before and will know where to find you, and squirrels are opportunistic hunters who are too lazy to drive very far in search of a meal.
Of course I could be all wrong and you might run into a retired lion visiting his kids at Stony Brook first... but I'm not sure... I know human kids had to go home from college, but I think large felines and aquatic mammals were allowed to stay for the remainder of the semester.
Well, your best bet to remain safe is to not go outside slathered in peanut butter or barbecue sauce... I keep making that mistake and it's getting annoying... But you could learn from my mistakes... god knows I don't.
So just play it safe and avoid the bbq sauce and peanut butter, don't decide to take a stab at learning to juggle chainsaws while you're in quarantine, and if you get a tiny knock on the door and a squeaky little voice claims it's a "Pizza delivery" or "FedEx", just tell them you don't speak English...
But don't say it in English... pick some other language like Icelandic... just say "ég tala ekki ensku þú ósvífinn nagdýr!" and then pretend you fell out the back window and the squirrels and/or chipmunks will probably go away... unless it's actually a FedEx guy who's been huffing helium... in which case he may think a drunk Icelandic lady just fell out the back window and he'll immediately dial "911" for assistance... or "112" because he actually drove your gift basket of smoked herrings all the way from Iceland and that's their equivalent of 911.
I realize that it was presumptuous of me to assume that the only thing you might order from Iceland is smoked herrings... Icelandic cuisine is quite diverse and includes many delicious treats like huge barrels of skyr (a yoghurt-like cheese), hákarl (cured shark), cured troll ham, cured singed sheep heads, buckets of cured black pudding, Flatkaka (cured flat bread)... Even broiled cured Puffin is considered a local delicacy... And who is to say you'd only be ordering food?
You could have purchased raw aluminum ingots to refine at home... or a box of assorted off-brand prosthetic limbs, a pallet of Björk CDs or even a barrel of fresh lava from one of Iceland's many active volcanos... Iceland exports many fine products. Though most of them are either salty and fish based or entirely Björk related.
Either way, I won't judge you if you ordered a crate of live puffins to broil at home... traditionally the raw heart of a puffin is eaten fresh... presumably to gain all the powers of the puffin... which I'm assuming is looking cute, waddling and diving off cliffs into the mouths of hungry seals. Puffins probably have other powers, like X-ray vision or fire breathing... there must be some reason why Icelanders feel the need to eat a fresh Puffin heart raw... fer cryin' out loud, that's kind of a weird thing to do if can't shoot plasma rays out your eyes afterwards... Puffins are like a foot and a half tall at most? I get eating the raw heart of manticore you've just slain in battle... or even a kangaroo that just tried to mug you... then you are all like "I have bested you mighty kangaroo and take from you your courage, strength and the revolver you tried to shoot me with... Grrrrrarrrr!"... I picture it like that scene from the Highlander when they cut each other's heads off... "Yarrrrrr! There can be only one! Maybe two! But no more than three!....Arrrrrr! Four at most...."
But that's a bloody kangaroo high on meth and armed with a friggin' gun... what's going on with a puffin?... if you actually battled a puffin there'd be nothing left... even if you were missing an arm or a couple of limbs you should be able to take on a puffin. With a puffin it's like "Hey little puffin... whatcha doing... come here..." and the poor puffin is like "Oh hello... that's a nice fork you have there... are we going to have cake?" And then you are like "Arrr, chomp, chomp, chomp! Puffin heart! I am invincible! Arrrrr!" And the other puffins are like "Christ! He ate Nigel raw!... Oh!... Oh!... That's disgusting! Didn't even take his hat off... Oh, poor Nigel!... Wait... What?... Me?... Oh sure... Hello... that's a nice fork... are we going to have ca..."
Puffin hearts are small, so you'd probably have to eat a bunch of them... and I'm not judging you if you do have a crate of adorable puffins sitting in the fridge... I'm assuming they'd be happy in there, since they are from Iceland... It actually makes sense to devour them because puffins are the natural enemies of squirrels and chipmunks and had eradicated all of them from Iceland during the great Puffin Wars... So gaining the powers of a puffin isn't actually a bad idea, and I can see why you probably ordered them considering that squirrels and chipmunks are stalking you.
Well, hopefully you don't get eaten by squirrels or chipmunks... or lions, or sea otters... though that would be adorable... or maybe not... otters are adorable... but they probably aren't when they are murdering people for food.
Anyway, at this point I've mostly forgotten why I started writing this... it's been a trip though. Hopefully you aren't as bummed out as you seemed before and you learned something about Icelandic traditions and puffins in the process... don't focus on the part about meth addicted kangaroos, as most kangaroos are hard working marsupials and it's really only those that have fallen on hard times that create the stereotype of criminal lawlessness that people associate with these unfortunate macropods.
Maybe you even have a hankering for some hákarl or a bucket of skyr... probably not, but one never knows what others may pick up from what I've written... usually it's curable with antibiotics or some strong disinfectants.
My first attempt with Iray. I used the dome set to 3pm as lighting still confuses the heck out of me.
chipmunks serve a mean cute attack. wouldnt challenge thos chip n dales to a badmitton game
thanks. my foot dr closed too. overdue for a toe check up.
Deviantart finally pushed out Eclipse on a site-wide permanent basis. It's so cluttered and busy and difficult to navigate through. I got more interaction over there on my renders than I ever have here or even in the renderosity galleries, but with the new Eclipse, i'm very concerned that that's going to go away, since everything is so much more complicated to navigate. It's not better at all. Sometimes things that are newer are worse.
Good morning isolationists!
Non-complaint: I got up early today and worked on my spreadsheet and resolving my bank account, chasing a penny that got lost somewhere in there.
But in the process I grabbed some music from my library and was rewarded by first finding the penny (yay) then hearing one of the short tone poems by Camille Saint-Saëns. Take an exciting but tragic trip with Phaethon, the son of the Sun God Helios, as he takes his father's chariot for a spin, and unable to control the horses, first freezes the Earth by flying too high, then scorching it by flying too low, pissing off Zeus who strikes him down. What is it with teenagers & the family vehicle? The same in all ages.
Saint-Saëns: Phaethon
Mythology of Phaethon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaethon
Still non-complaining: As long as I'm celebrating the recovery of my penny, I thought that a wild drunken orgy would be fun. So again, I turn to mythology for a wine party with Bacchus the god of wine, and music by Saint-Saëns with another of his 10 minute tone poems "Bacchanale" I'm sure you've heard these melodies. They have evoked visions of debauchery for generations. (especially starting at 6:28)
Saint-Saëns: "Bacchanale"
i despuse the new format, wasted an hour trying to find y journal.

Complaint: For the first time in my considerable lifetime and long before, this little town of 500 residents will not be holding it's traditional Memorial Day parade. Admittedly it was a relatively short event featuring about 8 fire trucks from this and neighboring little towns, children on decorated bicycles, the kindergarden class on a hay wagon, town officials in (rapidly becoming rare) open top convertible cars, fancied up horses and riders, the local highschool band, 5 fat, bearded, retired farmers and their wife/girlfriend sitting behind them on their Harley-Davidson motorcycles that during the summer only come out of the garage to be polished again and ridden perhaps 20 miles (the motorcycles, not the girlfriends) before going back into the garage until the next un-rainy weekend. There used to be several contingents of the various old military fraternal groups from WWI, and WWII & the Korean War that would walk in the parade, but I think they've either all died, or moved to Florida, or just don't amble or even assemble anymore. The whole parade lasts 20 minutes walking at about 2 miles an hour, and is watched by perhaps 200 people. It's not a big parade but it is the only excitement this town has during the year (other than blizzards), and it's the only time that there are more than three people on the streets simultaneously. I take pictures of the parade every year. I don't know why. Habit perhaps. But I will miss it. A little bit more of the soul of this town has died.
Memories: I remember when I was a young boy, back in the early '50s, there was a Memorial Day parade that featured a couple of rusty old steam powered tractors with huge, tireless, iron wheels and a big boiler & tall smokestack, like a land locomotive. Now that was a piece of machinery!
(especially since I was very small and didn't even come up to the middle of the wheel's axle.)
Complaint: Arghhh... Been binge watching Game of Thrones. Just finished season 5. Have finally learned that it doesn't pay to get involved in the hero-like characters.
Perhaps if I started rooting for the bad guys?
was that the season with the dogs dude?
is just too cute
from the battlecat episode
Daz3d.com website seems slow tonight. Maybe lots of people are browsing the section of the big sales.
Finally began the long task of upgrading my Genesis 2 superheroes to Genesis 8. Most of the morphs transerred nicely but not all. Some of them got new skins too. Figured while I was upgrading, might as well set them to Iray settings, now that I got an Nvidia card and lots more memory.
... I half expect now that I did all the work of updating, Genesis 10 will be released next month.
On the plus side, I managed to get all 8 and Reld the dragon in one scene without my computer crying, so looks like the upgraded machine is working fine.
nice work.
ooo eee jalapeno dressing on my burger, hot tong tingles
dunno where it came from the dee lang dee lang song in my head
"He's So Fine" by the Chiffons?
I kill thread. I cry now.
Not your fault. I get a tickle with your posts. But this thread has been on it's last legs for a long time.
Even I am finding less and less interesting blather here.
We need new blood, with good stories and wit and complaints or anti-complaints!
I lurk mostly cause not big complainer ....
Try anti-complaining.
Or is there nothing wrong with your auntie?
What makes you go "Wheeee"?
Nay it's more I don't think anybody really cares to hear my complaints ....... and not much happens to anti complain about ....... I'm boring ........
Non-complaint: It's a nice day! Time to do the edge trimming and mowing.
Complaint: Batteries for the trimmer are dead. One is charging now. Playing the waiting game.

Time for cat.
I've seen that face before!!
