Ink Blogging from PHL parking lot

Ink Blogging from PHL parking lot

Hey people! I'm in the cell phone waiting lot at Philadelphia International Airport waiting for my friend to arrive. Thought I'd spill some ink and share the tools I'll be testing while here: the T-Mobile Web Connect Rocket USB modem (http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=T-Mobile-webConnect-Rocket-USB-Laptop-Stick) and the Fujitsu Lifebook T900 Tablet PC (http://store.shopfujitsu.com/fpc/Ecommerce/buildseriesbean.do?series=T900).

Already ran some download tests and checked my friend's flight info. Should be meeting him shortly. Both items are on loan. Just coincidence that they arrived simultaneously, just in time for my trip to Philly.

3P: Pitches for my movie called "Brotherly Love"

3P: Pitches for my movie called "Brotherly Love"

Had an idea for a movie that I thought I'd throw out there. Still working on the details but the basic concept should be apparent.

Cat and Garden Updates

Cat and Garden Updates

Been too long between ink blog entries on Homer and the garden plot.

Homer continues to have urinary problems. His latest test shows an infection which we're treating with antibiotics. Sometimes he seems listless but usually remains his normal happy self. He's even been catching animals. In an amazing feat, he caught a blue jay, walked around with it, climbed up a tree, and let it go. I don't think he meant to let it go, but it slipped out of his grip. He then scrambled down the tree and up another one to chase the bird. Later, he caught a chipmunk under the deck. Little lethal kitty.

The garden plot is doing better by comparison. The corn and beans we planted are sprouting, as well as the potatoes from the bag we had. The transplanted tomato, pepper and squash plants are thriving. Need to get some natural insect repellent going. Some leaves are getting chewed up, but more importantly, we're getting chewed up by gnats.

Our raccoon regular is back

Our raccoon regular is back

Our neighborhood raccoon has been coming out in the dusk hours again. Molly (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2008/10/close-encounter-of-raccoon-kind.html), as we call her, walked up on the deck to check out the seed we left out for the binds. I think she'd normally be deterred by the cats, but it was raining so they weren't out.

Video: Hail Burst

Video: Hail Burst

Managed to catch the tail end of that hail burst (http://sumocats.blogspot.com/2010/05/hail-burst.html) on video. Sadly not at its peak, but you can hear a bit of the barrage in the opening seconds.

Slick in a Box

Slick in a Box

Can't really think of anything clever to say about the ongoing botched attempts to cap the Gulf of Mexico oil leak (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/bp-oil-spill), nor is it a joking matter, but I wanted to get this headline out there. Sadly, they can't put that junk in box. No slick in a box.

Soundtrack of my life

Soundtrack of my life

If my life had a soundtrack, these are what I'd name the tracks on the current album, based on what I say and hear regularly.

1. Why is there a cat here?
2. Shoveling turds
3. The language around here is so fucking foul
4. You talking to me or the cats?
5. Homer!
6. So much paper
7. "There" doesn't tell me where it is
8. Why don't you know this?
9. Gawd, I hate fax
10. Get off the phone and drive!
